In every respect the match seems fortunate, that is, as fortunate as a state marriage may be. It is good as to ageg he is 25, she is 23. Good as to religion both are Catholics. Good as to politics both nations were in the group or the allies during the late war, yet the alhance creates no regrouping of powers through ties. It is good in meeting with both countries have acclaimed The business of being a king many crowned heads have gone the way of turkey heads at Thanksgiving. When it comes to marrying in royal blood it is difficult for the princely matchmakers to effect desirable alliances- oftentimes. The ranks of the eligibles have been decimated by assassination and llies. The royal, houses of Italy and Belgium have scarcely had the social standing of the Windsor-Hanover line in Eng land and the Hohenzollern line in Germany or even of the "Romanoffs in. Russia. But they at least have kept their heads and their offices. The reigning house in Italy, the house of Savoy, is one of the most ancient in Europe. Young Humbert himself gets his name from the founder of the line, Hum bert of the White Hand. This man was an exiled Saxon who settled on the flanks t the Alps and by his personal prow ess carved for himself, and his voy, embracing country on both sides of the western Alps and controlling the important two passes of St, Bernard. That was back in the 11th cen tury and the Savoyan line preserved its fortunes through the years though surrounded bors: France, Austria, Spain. In 1703 Victor; Amadeus, the 15th duke of the line, became king of Sicily which later was traded for Sardinia, so the dukes of Savoy became the kings of Sardinia though the family seat of residence continued to be in the Piedmont. Crown Prince Humbert for instance has his own residence in Turin. In 1861 Victor Emmanuel II was crowned the first king of united Italy. His son Hum . bert was killed by an anarchist in 1900. The present king, Victor Emmanuel III. married Elena of Montenecro. so the Saxon blood of old Humbert well diluted by the time it gets down to the present heir apparent to the Italian throne. The Belgian royal house is of recent origin. After "the Napoleonic wars Belgium was attached to the Netherlands. The union was unsatisfactory so Belgium finally secured Her independence with international sanction. The choice of a king-finally fell on Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg. Leopold had married Charlotte, daughter of GeorgeTV, king of Eng ; land. On her succession to the throne he would have become the prince consort. But Charlotte died in childbirth because Stockmar, the German physician whom Leopold had brought with him didn't tell the bungling English doctors how to handle the case. Too much "professional ethics" or political caution. Charlotte's death threw the succession to William IV and when he died Victoria became queen. This little country of Saxe-Coburg made great contribu tions to European royalty. Victoria's mother was from that aJ4ountry, a sister oi leopoia, and .Leopold nimseii nad much "o do with the training of his neice. When he went to Bel gium as king he married Louise, the daughter of Louis - Phillipe, then king of France. Marie Jose, the bride of this week, is the great-granddaughter of this marriage. This Saxe-Coburg country through Victoria established the reign ing line in England, and through her became affiliated with the royal houses of Russia, Germany, Rumania and Jugo slavia, Marie of Rumania being a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. And Saxe-Coburg was the native land of the Leo pold who founded the Belgian dynasty. So it has made rather important contributions to royal houses in spite of the sxnall ness of the duchy. Now' of course it is swallowed up in the. German republic With so much intermarrying it is not surprising that the lines of the blood royal are pretty much interfused in European countries,- and with the dynasties growing fewer in number through the succession of democracies the in breeding will become closer still in the future. It is interest- ing to know that Crown Prince Humbert and his bride may both tjace their ancestry, back to Robert Bruce, the first king of Scotland. This descent comes through Elizabeth - Stuart, sifter of Charles I, king of England and Scotland. -Democratic America wishes the royal Italian couple well. We want no kings for ourselves, being satisfied with industrial magnates and international bankers and flivver and oil barons. But we dearly love to have royalty step its paces in Europe; and anything so brilliant and spectacular as a royal wedding stirs the deep interest of millions of ord inary Americans. - ' ' A College Head DR. Frank Parker Day is president of Union college. We never hear of Union college in the intersection games, so it must be rather a small institution. It has had some dis tinguished alumni, Elihu Root, if we remember correctly, and Representative Frank Davenport. But it must not have . many alums who go in for running the college athletics, fir ing the coaches and subsidizing the athletes: At least this seems a logical conclusion from the nature of the recent ut terance of Dr. Day. Soeakinir Athletic association, he proposed that gate receipts be abol- lsned, thai proiessionai coaches be dismissed, that' scouting, subsidizing and directing from the sidelines be riven up. and ' that leagues be formed among local colleges which will live . up to these rules and bring back truly intercollegiate athetics in intercollegiate play. . - . - .- , It surely is evident too stadium just erected and not ' The Carnegie report has slowly percolated even in col Jege circles.

BBMBaWSSSSPi - '"- ' : BITS for BREAKFAST -By IL 1. HENDRICKS How bis is Los Angeles? It H Paul S. Armstrong, assistant general manager of the Califor nia Fruit Growers' exchange, told the Rotary club of Los Angeles on Friday, January 2, at its reg ular weekly meeting at the Bllt more hotel, that only 265,000 acres are tn citrus fruit in all Cal ifornia, and that "you could plant every tree in the state in Los An geles, and have room left." , A good deal of room would be left. A Los Angeles isiend teUs the Bits man that therefore 825 square miles of land in "Los An geles; that is, 825 sections of 640 acres each. This means 400,000 acres of land in the city limits. W - In other words, 626 married couples of the early immigrants to the Oregon country might have been accommodated with dona tion claims in what is now Los Angeles. Bay about four Apple gate covered wagon trains of the 1843 immigration, which was the first to come through with wag ons; about 1000 men, women and children being in that train. But no 1842 Oregon immigrant would have taken any part of the Los Angeles townsite as a gift, to say nothing of the whole of it. For oar 1843 immigrants were looking forearms, and the town site of Los Angeles was a series of sand dunes and more or less barren hills. The Salem real estate agent who made the Hollywood subdivi sion out on the SUverton high way beyond the Oregon state fair grounds, about 18 years ago. Fred Bynon, nad been in Salem before and had operated as a real tor in Los Angeles for a time. And he had the handung of the Holly wood district there, and. owned part ot it, and might have owned all of it But things looked toe slow for him in Los Angeles then. and the Hollywood section was too far out It was six miles from the Los Angeles of that time. So Mr. Bynon pulled up stakes and came back to Salem, and, among other things, divided up some farms and made the Hollywood district on the SUverton highway. (The Hollywood section of Salem, out fair grounds way. came sev eral years t later.) Louis Bechtel still in Salem, was associated with Mr. Bynon in both Los An geles and Salem. "m "n "n Now Hollywood, California, is merely a part of Los Angeles. You might direct a letter to Hol lywood, Cal. and it would reach Its properi destination; but It would go through the Los Angel es postoffice. Hollywood is now one of the best business districts of Los Angeles, and the residence Drooertr out that way is choice and high priced even running back into tto high hills; the Bev erly hills and others, where mov' Ing. bo - sotma picture million aires and other wealthy people live. If Mr. Bynon or Mr. Bechtel had a lew feet of frontage on one of the main streets of the Holly wood district now, or a small patch of brush land In the hills back of there, he would be a rich man. :';;-:! Property is so high in the Hol lywood business district that they no longer sell much of it. Tney lease It, at fabulous figures. lor 99 years, ox shorter or longer periods.; i' IS . They do things, in a large way In Los Angeles. The Hollywood bowL Which is the place where h great musical and other events are held throughout the summer, was started by a few public spir ited women of that section. of the city. Just a tew years ago'. It is a natural amphitheater in the hills just back of the main part of Hol lywood. Now they have it fitted with seats for 20.000, and they accommodate 80,000 or more, by A REWARD FOR OVER HONESTY part ot tho crowd standing or sit ting on, the bins back of the seats. It was done by public subscrip tion; 'a dollar a throw,- or something like that, and a dozen or so rich people gave 81000 each a little later. The Hollywood bowl is capable of being made large en ough to seat several times 80, 000, without great cost compared to what it would be if nature it self had not "prepared the bowl tn the hills. S Tho city's Exposition park sta dium can seat 70,000 or more people some residents of the city of the angels will' tell you 80,000, or more. But it is not big enough. Including standing room, for the crowds on great occasions. So it is to be rebuilt, in the next year or so, when it will seat 120, 000 people. There is opportunity, on the Leslie Junior high school grounds In Salem, to arrange a bowl to accommodate as many people as the Hollywood bowl now seats, without very great cost. And, with reasonable expenditure, this could in the future be extended in size to have 120,000 seating capacity, or more. The Exposi tion bowl in Los Angeles belongs to the city. The Leslie junior high site belongs to the Salem school district. If Salem is to become the con vention city it should be, better arrangements must be made for accommodating- large crowds J many kinds of new things mu3t be provided, including bowls as well as auditoriums. They are' to have a big state of fice bnUding in Los Angeles, too. It is to cost 82.SOO.000. The county of Los Angeles is present ing to the state of California the arte. It is at the corner of First and Spring streets, and has cost the county 8724.824., The first wing is to be started soon. If Marlon eoutny had been askd to giv to the state ot Oregon the site of the state office building, now being finished, no doubt a few people, to say the least, would have had something to say about It. Perhaps even some of them would have raised mild objec tions. - Mr. Armstrong, the fruit ex change man guoted above, told the Los Angeles - Rotary club in the coarse of his talk: ''Fifty per cent of the wealth of California Is represented by ear agricultural products, yet only 28 per cent of the state-'B land is under cultiva tion and only 8 per cent ot the farm land is under Irrigation.
