When King Al bert's -first grandchild was born the other day the gunners were waiting to fire a royal salute. When the booming start ed, citizens listened eagerly. The salute ended with 21 guns and everybody knew that Astrid and Leopold had a daughter. A boy, as heir to the throne, would have had more than five times'asMong a salute. We suspect that this tiny addition to the Belgian royal family doesn't mind and never will mind much 'that her salute was so brief. Princesses with no heavy state responsibilities ahead of them are a lot better off in these days, than princes. j NKW YORK, Oct. 20 (AP) The Ni'W York 1 tally New to)ay Hiiya .M I Id red liiclmnlson Hill, former KoIHch bounty, Is rikiiiff a K'ji;inillon from Waiter J.

That may work in Southampton, We'd hate to see the custom introduced here. With all due rcjjard for pedestrians, who surely have a right to crqss streets now and then, we still believe they could do so more safely and with less coiffusion simply by hee'ding the same traffic signals and courtesies enforced on motorists. As for those pedestrians who insist on jay-walking and on darting out suddenly from behind parked cars or other ob structions, a walking-slick horn wouldn't save them, even if they deserved saving. , .

The senator is familiar with Philippine life, and evidently knows what he is talking about. He makes the modest lmast of being, as far as he knows, "the only American representa tive of government who has ever refused lo enter the doors of the Army and Navy club at Manila." lie ivfused because he disapproved of the club rule that no Filipino should ever be allowed to enter there. It is this same snobbish spirit, he declares, that is the basis for the growing antipathy to the white race in the Orient, lie tells of accompanying a cultured and respected Chinese business man, a friend of his, lo an international bank in Shanghai. The Chinese gentleman wanted to cash a perfectly good check for $IS()0, and went up to the teller's window. "What the hell do you menu, coming here?" snarled the Caucasian teller. "(let the hell out of here and go down to the other end of the building w ith the rest of the Chinamen!" The Chinese quietly went and did as lie was told, but with resentment blazing in his soul. "Never." says anotluV cul tured Chinese, quoted by Senator lliiighain, "never can there be friendship as long as (he white race send men (o China Who treat the Chinese like dugs." And that doubtless a ilies with equal force In the Filipinos. Corvallis Theater Swept By Flames (OltVAI.I.IS. Ore., (let.
