A good soldier he was, too. There were many who tried to dissuade the royal heir from en dangering his life. They discovered Lheu ho had the firm chin which has accounted for much of IiIh suc ccbs thus far. Since his war days tho prince gradually has taken over many tasks for his nglng fit ther.

He una traveled throughout the em pire, and to other parts of the world, lie has studied his peoples and their problems at first hand. Me has grappled with statesman- ship In every form. Just as King George was said to knuw more about the empire than any other man, so hta sou, having lunched the age of 41, is held by the BriiUh people to qualify for that distinction. This Is understandable when one considers that the entire education of a Prineo of Wales is directed to this end. llecuuse of his Intimate knowl edge of Imperial nffuirs; King Gojrgu was a rulor In fact hh well as In name, despite (ho democratic conslltutiou of mo country. The new ktng-empcror possesses all those qualities calculated to make him a great power. And that square chin of his should l.ot bo over looked. Why Kino? People frequently ask why It Is necessury to have n king in it dem ocratic country like England. The answer has been Riven to mo by personages In many pa its of the empire, and it Is in substance this: U in nut England alone which Is concerned, but a commonwealth of many nations flung about (he globe, a heterogenous population of hundreds of millions, comprising almost eery mce uml creed under the sun. All of them, too, are MtouKly nationalistic. No Hiliiiuily constituted govern ment in London, or (n any other part or the empire, could hold tht'se arlous peoples together. Hut the king Is above imlltiis und nice and ptved. lie Is the fmiieiliil sym bol, if yon will, to which all can ml hen. Without him the ennilre would dissolve.

Since thero are 20 shillings in a pound, tho percentage for the gov ernment was not flattering. Thus the now king will have to struggle not only with (hose prob lems which beset monarchs of small nations, but also must ever bear In mind that he Is the bond which keeps. IiIh empire together."

Women members of the library board, the cricil was informed, have agreed to devote nart-tlme service as assistant librarian: when the upstairs addition is put into use. After Tax Delinquents. The council also agreed to "crack the whip." as Mayor Charles Clark termed the action, on prop erty owners who nre delinquent in puvment of city liens. it was pointed out thnt ninny property owners .financially nbl to nay delinquent assessments, are railing to do so. The city recorder and treasurer were Instructed to compile a detail ed list of all such delinquencies. It is planned to employ a collector to Interview each property owner nnd to require a contract to pay the amount of delinquencies, or foreclosure will be instituted. Where property owners do not de sire to pay the liens, foeling that the value of the property does not warrant payment, they will be ask ed to give the city a quitclaim deed, thereby wiving the cost of foreclosure. Several cities. It Is reported, have put this plan Into prnctice recently with excellent results and hnve denned up a large amount of delinquencies nnd hnve placed prac tical iv ail assessments on a con tract basis which will result In con tinued payments until the delin quencies nre retired.

The power cable of the downtown lighting system gave way recently and plunged the bus! ness Ht reels into darkness. The matter of putting bracket lights on one side of the street only met with many objections from owners of business property, the committee reiKirted. The council accepted the commit tee's report and adopted the sug gestion that in the future when re pairs are made that the cable should be put in conduits, eliminat ing the necessity of cutting pave ments to make cable changes. A petition for sidewalk construc tion on East 6th street, was refer red to the street committee. A petition for a fire hydrant at 2nd avenue and West 3rd street In North Koseburg was denied, the committee on fire and water porting that there are two hydrants close enough to the Intersection to provide adequate protection. Payment of 158.92 for street light supplies taken over from the Koseburg hlectric was authorized. IBM'S VOTE NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21. (AP) Louisiana's democratic pri mary balloting over the late Huey P.

Long live the king!" the standard al ways flies at full staff, signifying thnt the British empire Is never without a ruler. Prince Flies to London The former Prince of Wales, now Britain's Tlrst "flying king.", left Snndringbam house by auto mobile with the Duke of York for the Ilercham, Newton, airdrome a few miles away, where they took their plane for 1 -on don. The new monarch piloted the private ship himself as the first in novation of his reign. The lute King George, four days after he contracted a sudden Ill ness succumbed to complications nrislug from a severe cold, bron chial catarrh nnd a heart weakness a burden too heavy for the frail form to hear. Steeling themselves for the dou ble ordeal of burying the dead king and proclaiming the new sov ereign. Queen Mary and her chil dren wept and prayed over King George's bier as the empire of 450,000,000 subjects waited to do him homage. After comforting his mother, Queen Mary, in their hour or grief, the 41-year-old Prince of Wales conferred with court officials this morning before hastening to Lon don to be acclaimed King Edward VIII. From high and low, from all parts of the earth, came messages of condolence. Broadcasts were discontinued, and london crowds were hushed. The body of the late monarch will be removed to Loudon, to lie In state, probably In Westminster hall. ntennent will take place at Windsor, just west of Iondon on the Thames, and sent of one of the traditional royal residences. To Rest Beside Father King George probably will go to his last resting place In a vault there beside the bodies of his fath er. King Edward VII, Charles 1 and Henry VIII. Here in Norfolk, near the bleak coast 100 miles northeast of Lon don, (he neighbor-subjects mourn ed the passing of the country squire, sportsman, church-goer and family man they had known for yea ra. Elsewhere In the empire. It was King George's devotion to duty, which inspired the British peo ple through (he long, dreary days of their greatest war and sul quent depression, wthch wns sorely tiissed In these days of interna tional tenseness. The sovereign, declining gradu ally for days, passed on to a peaceful end, unconscious In his lust moments. (Associated Pres.O George V ascended the Rritlsh throne as "the snllor king"; he left It is "the democrntlc king." , Unassuming to the point of shy ness, devout and faithful in relig ion, hard-working, devoted tn his children and home life, and with a I dignity relieved by the twinkle In his eyes, be typified the qualities which his subjects held bigtient. Unlike many lirltish kings, George V did not begin training in childhood for occupancy of the throne. He was the second son of Edward VII and was 26 years old when be became heir to the crown on the death of his elder brother, Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence. Meanwhile, George hud embark ed upon a naval career which kept him almost constantly at Bea from the time be was 12 and which had carried bim from cadctship to the rank of commander by the time of his brother's death. Thereafter his duties as heir apparent precluded exclusive devotion to the navy though, within two years after his futher became King Jvd.ward VII, successive promotions brought him i rank of vice admiral. When he succeeded to the throne Mav 6. 1910. at the age of 44, the empire had a sovereign unique for his first-hand acquaintance with the world and the dominions be was called to ruie. Sets Personal Example In War When the war cast its shallow i over Europe, King George made every effort to prevent the out- break, addressing personal appeals to the emperors of Russia and Ger many. When these failed and his own country was plunged into the con flict, ne Issued a proclamation mo bilizing the British army and an nounced an unwavering determina tion to fight until victorious. The ruler ond his family set themselves to lending the royal in fluence and encouragement to every form of national activity in aid of the fighting forces. Strict economy measures were put in force in the royal household. The king paid repeated visits to his troops in Belgium and France; : in 1917 he stripped German titles ; and names from the royal family i and changed the name of the rul- lng house from that of Suxe-Co-burg-Got ha to Windsor. i Post-war years brought home rule to Ireland, a larger share in I self-government to India as well j as steps towards her independence, and the significant development of the British commonwealth of na tions with the crown as the chief link of the empire. Illness Endangers Life But the country ns a whole held firm to the respect it had alwayB shown to the king and the political crisis passed to be succeeded by u greater crisis, his serious illness. This started in November, 192S, when a chill believed to have been i caught on Armistice Sunday, when ; he stood bareheaded in the rain luring the ceremony at the Ceno- taph, developed Into fever ami ! some congestion of one lung. In December counsellors of state ! were appointed; an operation was ' performed to drain the right side of the king's chest.
