GREAT-AUNT TO SELL ROYAL JEWELS r SO ALFONSO'S DAUGHTER MAY WED - By Adelaide Kerr ,, PARIS VP) Behind the gray walls ,of a Paris convent-pension the In fanta Eulalla, daughter gf,.one of the queens of Spain, is preparing to sell the jewels given her " on her own wedding day to provide a dower for the love-match , of an exiled Spanish princess. Diamonds, emeralds and pearls which once gleamed trom the throats and hair of two Spanish queens are to be token from, dust covered, iron-bound strong boxes and sold to facilitate the marriage of the Infanta's grandson, .Prince Alvaro d'Orleans and her great- niece. Princess Beatrice, ' eldest daughter of Alfonso, former- king of Spain. . "This Is a love match," she says. "These children love cach, other dearly. They were engaged, though not officially, before the fall of the Spanish monarchy. Now they are heartbroken because there is no money for their marriage. "The king says there Is no money for a marriage and a 'dot' now, and Lthat they rmjst wait until 'affairs aro more settled.' The little prin cess has sobbed on my shoulder. "My grandson writes me frantic letters from Zurich where he is in school. They both beg 'Help us out, Ofandmomina. Nobody else will.' And so it's up to me. I haven't anything left but my Jewels, but I'm giving those." The JewelB which she is prepar ing to sell, once tho envy of the court Indies of Madrid, are said to be among the most beautiful In the world." There are the emeralds, a large tiara and necklace, given to the Infanta - Eualla by her mother, Queen Isabella II, - on the day of her marriage to the Due do Gal liera, grandson of King ' Louis Philippe of Prance. . There is a pearl tiara, regal as a crown, and a nine strand pearl and diamond necklace which King Alfonso XII, brother of the Infanta Eulalla,' gave to his beautiful young bride, Maria Mercedes, on her wed ding day. When sho died, six months later the king presented them to his sister. "They're all I have left to give," sold Infanta Eulalla. "And I hope they bring happiness to the chil dren. I'm going to divide the re sults of their sale between the Prin cess Beatice and her sister, Marie Christina, who Is engaged to my second grandson, Prlnco ...Alfonso d'Orleans." Prince Alvaro, tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed, h working "day and night," his grandmother says, on his course in mechanical engineer ing at the University of Zurich In Switzerland. Two, more years of work aro necessary before he will be ready to earn his living as a mechanical engineer.. His fiancee and cousin. Princess Beatrice, remains at Fontainebleau in the little French hotel where thei esuea ruyiu mmuy nas mumuuneu headquarters since tho establish ment of tho Spanish republic. Beetle Robbing Wheat Farmers Of Northwest SPOKANE, Wash. (JP) A slim, jet black beetle, half an Inch long, is robbing wheat farmers of Oregon, I Washington, Idaho and Montana of j market slump. M. C. Lane, associate entomologist In the federal bureau of entomology, tells about the pest, known as the "Great Basin wire worm" In a bulletin, j Half a century ago before the north-1 j western hills were covered with wheat iieias, vnis oeeue xnrivea on ouncn grass. But with tho advent of civili zation the pest adapted himself at once, and now he feeds filmoet ex clusively on wheat, to the' detriment of the crop. 'wi-.lf Able to withstand drbuift, tne wlreworm thrives in the fac&ibf. con certed attempts to destroy; ijl't; and cuts down the stands of bptb: winter and spring grain, especially ' during years with long, cold springs and winters cold enough to injure fall sown seed. The worms attack spring sown kern els almost as soon as they are planted, in some cases preventing germination. They also attack the underground parts of the plant after sprouting, killing out the stand in spots. Tho entomologist has found that absolutely clear summer fallow is the only efficient control for the worm. A a new generation is hatched from eggs into larvae and progresses from larvae into! the mature worm) in threo years. But nature has provided that a new brood of mature worms comes Into being each year. Lane gives four methods of attack against tho pest. They are: (1) Always keep the summer fallow ab solutely clean. (2) Do NOT harrow winter wheat in the spring; it loosens the soil, offering avenues of attack for the worm without benefiting grain. (3) Treat wheat with dry cop per carbonate to prevent smut. (4) Use enough seed in the spring; to al low for some thinning by wlreworms. It is not necessary to use more than 10 pounds of additional seed per acre. The entomologist adds, however. that chemicals, always expensive, have done very little to control the pest. Longer Work Day With No Loafing Makes Hens Pay KELLOGG, Iowa (I1) Oncsecret of success in raising poultry, B. E. Craven believes, is to put hens on a 12-hour day, and to allow no loafing. 1 So at 6 a. m. he turns on the elec I trie lights, to equalize winter days j with longer summer working periods, j He requires that his hens eat j enough, and in winter feeds his leghorns alfalfa besides an ordi j nary grain ration. Hens laying fewer than 283 eggs ; annually are sold. Craven says he ' doesn't want a few exceptionally high producers, but aims at a unl- formly high production from every individual in his flock, j "Proper housing, feed, sunshine, : fresh air, and plenty of clean water all tie'lp poultry as In the case of human beings develop to the best possiblo point," Craven maintains. Meanwell Through With Midget Idea MADISON, Wis. W) Coach Wal ter E. Meanwell of the University of Wisconsin has abandoned his ex periment with midget basketball players. This year six-footers will replace tho small men who have worked the short-pass stylo of play under Dr. Meanwell for several seasons. Coach Meanwell found his midgets could adopt his system perfectly, but always discovered the truth of the maxim that "a good big man is bet ter' than a good littlo man." Capt. Marvin Steen, of Bowling Green, O., Bobby Poser and. Doug Nelson, tho latter two Wisconsin youths, will composo the nucleus of tha Badger squad this year.

"I GREW up with tobacco; Mostly I smoke cigarettes now but I've smoked plenty of cigars, and pipes, too. And I never got anything but good from tobacco in any form pipe, cigar, or cigarette and that goes for every smoker I ever heard about. , ! "Why, I remember as a boy, way back, how the old folks in the fall used to pick and cure tobacco from a little patch they'd raised, and save out the best for their own smok ing. And my father fought all through the war, and lived to be ninety. "He'd certainly appre ciate what we get today, though. Just think about,: these CHESTERFIELDS of mine fine tobaccos from all over the world, and cured and blended just so; you couldn't get anything purer or milder. Cleanest factories you ever saw, too never a hand touching the cigarettes . . . everything up to date. "A big improvement over the old ways . reckon that's why I like CHESTERFIELDS so much. I notice most of my friends get a lot of pleasure out of them, too. "But what I started out to say was, you can always depend on tobacco, no mat ter how things are going. Probably there was never anything in the world that meant so much to so many people, and cost so little, as tobacco whatever way they smoke it. "Yes, sir I'll stand up for tobacco as long as I ,-an strike a match!" NOTE. In the sections where toiacco growl and where people know tohacco, Chester field is usually the largest-selling cigarette.
