THRONES AND CHICKENS The pretender to the throne of Portugal is a country gentleman, living on an estate in Austria, and devoting him self to the task of raising chickens. The other day, when he was informed that ex-king Manuel II had died, and that Tie Jiimself wan therefore in line for the throne, he indicated $he the chicken-raising business seemed to him better than a kingship. ' 'Very likely this attitude was due in part to the fact that T'ortugal Is a republic at present, and being in line for the throne is an empty honor. Hut probably the larger portion of his indifference is because being a king is a very poor line 'of work to be1 following in these days, and a throne can hardly . compare with a flourishing chicken ranch when one considers 'such factors as security, peace of mind, and genuine con tentment." ' SUch has not always been the case. In the olden days the -world wa made for kings, and a throne was really worth having. ' The king and his nobles were "it", and the rest of the people did not matter. It was a a mmonly accepted principle that kings were divinely appointed tp their thrones, and to rebel was not only treasonous but sacrilegious. ',' ' But Unlay things are different. Where kings yet survive they are figureheads and nothing more. To be sure, things are made very pleasant for a few of them, and they are flat tered by great deal of attention ; but the honor ia an empty tide: 'And they are living in constant fear that some ultra radical party may get control of the government and throw Jhem out entirely, - This sad change in the affaire of royalty was brought about by the development of the idea of democracy. The great American and French revolutions made every throne on earth insecure, and since that time, one by one, proud Tnonarchs have leen forced to yield to the will of peoples ;Vho believe they ought to have something to say alxiut how they are governed. ' Right now, perhaps, democracy has fallen into a little slump.' Dictatorships are popular in Europe, and there is not a great deal of difference letween the rule of a divinely appointed monarch and that of a self-appointed dictator. But the leaven of democracy is still working, and will 'aHays continue to do so. Once an idea is born into the world, it cannot be stamped out. Sooner or later, dictalor qhip8 "will stand where monarchies ritand Aoday. Those who have that hankering to rule without the consent of tli'e governed had lietter be looking around for good chicken ranches. Sooner or later they will need them. f YViSB rOI.ICKMEN While politics, industry and international affairs hold their place on the front page a lot of interesting and important news tends to be overlooked. There is, for instance, the way in which the New York police force has organized a baseball league among some .0000 youthful Manhattan East Sidcrs.'- This affair, 'perhaps, can't compare1 in importance with such things as political conventions and reparations confer ences. But it is, nevertheless, one of the most significant experiments any police department Jn the country has ever attempted. . j The New York cops have helped these boys organize ill baseball league, providing the umpires for the games, arrang ing schedules, keeping truck of batting, fielding and pitching averages, finding fields for the players and seeing to it thirl everything runs smoothly. And they have not only enlisted B000 boys, between the ages of 10 and )8, in their athletic clubs; the games played have drawn around 250,000 cus Umiers so far this year. ' This program was announced by Police Commissioner Mul rooney us part of a crime-prevention campaign. It is about as wise a thing as any police department could hope to do. In' the first place, it gives young city lads something to do with their spare lime. Youngster who are playing base ball steadily dont have a great deal of time for comer pool room or speakeasy loafing, furthermore, such things don't )ook so attractive to them. Nor ix a lad to whom athletic greatness is something to be mightily desired quite as ready to inako a hero out of a gangland big shot. But there is another angle to it which is equally important. The xy in this New York baseball league is discovering that the cop is his friend, instead of growing up with the notion Jhat the cop is an enemy to be outwitted. Anyone who has studied the growth of metropolitan gangs can tell you how helpful the growth of such an attitude could le. These New York policemen have hit upon an extremely fine idea. The police of other cities could copy it to great advantage.

I Seven persons were reported saved t by rescuers who Immediately put out ! j in other boats as the cries of crowds i ton the shore gave warning of the: : tragedy. The boat, 26-foot speed J craft, recently purchased by Henry ; Calanchini. was the center of attrac itlon for the picnic party as It put ! out to sea with Its guest passengers. Witnesses said the boa fa engine ap- parently died just after it bad passed the bar at the mouth of the river, and it was tossed helplessly about by the breakers. As it capsized, figures of the pas sengers could be seen struggling In the water. One or two managed to swim to shore. Others were pulled aboard rescue boats. Louis La Tour, one of the sur vivors, . characterized the accident as "a horrible nightmare." Describing the scene he said: "All of a sudden the motor sput tered, coughed a little, and died. We tossed there, helpless for the space of a minute. Then a wave struck us. The" boat" toppled." T 'leaped."""""' "All about me, men and women were struggling In the water. There was some screaming. I looked about and saw little Jlmmie (James Becker, 6) beating about in the water. I reached out and took hold of him. "Then I saw that the boat had righted, and I hauled him into it. Another breaker struck, and the UtUe craft began to go over. I had a flash of three terrified faces In the cabin, three figures making for the narrow door In one rush. Then X jumped, and the boat went over. "What happened to those three persons I don't know. I couldn't even know who they were. But I have little doubt they are dead. "I looked around for the boy, hut couldn't sec him. It seemed like hours that I swam about the over turned boat, while It tossed about like a waterlogged cracker box. I began to grow weak. Finally when no help came. struck out for shore. I swam until it seemed my arms would drop off. Half a mile I It seemed ten miles. I crawled up on the beach exhausted. That's all I remember." 1 - Judge's Decision On Birth Control Causes Comment CHICAGO. July 25 A storm of contradictory comment haa follow ed a decision by Circuit Judge Dan iel p.

The decision was given In the case of Mrs -tcrtrude Bcml- who' was granted separate maintenance from her husband, Walter J. Bemls, a eon suiting engineer. 'It la evident to me." tho court said, "that too many children 'have been bora to this couple. The mother rebelled at motherhood, tho Job was too much for her."

Commenting on the court's action. Dr. Rachello Y ottos, a woman medical specialist, said "a woman ought to have the right to decide how many children she can care for without In Jury to her health." ,. Judge Joseph A. Oraber of the court of domestic relations, on the other hand, took an opposing view. 'I have found that children do more to patch up broken homes than any otlirr single factor," he said. Judge Trude told Mrs. Bemls to go to California on a vacation, away from her five children. EARTH SUOCK FELT NEW YORK.
