NATION JOYFUL
Sofia, Bulgaria, Jan. 13 (?) All
Bulgaria was celebrating the birth
of a princess this morning the first
child of King Boris III and Queen
Joanna. The mother and baby girl
were both reported In excellent
health.
Although Bulgaria's constitution
prescribes direct succession by the
male line, the princess was wel
comed with a- warmth of affection
reminiscent of the reception ac
corded Queen Joanna when her
royal husband brought her home
from Italy two years ago.
The event naturally renewed
speculation as to the religion in
which any child of Boris and Jo
anna will be brought up. The law
required that the ruler of Bulgaria
must be an Orthodox Catholic and
special permission of the Pope was
necessary before Boris married the
Italian princess.
In official circles, it was pointed
out, Boris made no promises In
connection with the upbringing of
his children.
The princess birthday falls just
17 days before her father's anni
versary. The king will be 39 years
old January 30.
1 Queen Joanna, who is 24 years
old, returned to the capital only
yesterday from Varna palace, where
she had been staying since early
in December. She spent much of
her time knitting garments and fre
quently chatted with her parents
in Rome, particularly the queen's
mother, by long distance telephone.
The government was planning a
political amnesty for exiles and the
pardoning of hundreds of prisoners
in Bulgaria in celebration of tne
event.

attempt to pass the spurious money
in Grand Forks but operated
tnrougn Iriends in Nelson.
Police confiscated plates and
chemicals used by Plosnikoff in his
uicgai venture.

WALKER WILL
CASE REVERSED
Circuit Judge Lcwelltng has hand
ed down a decree reversing the pro
bate court In the will contest of El
mer W. Purvine, in the matter of
the estate of Dora Walker, against
S. Ellis Purvine, executor of the
estate.
The appeal from probate court
was taken to determine the matter
of heirship. Under the will of Dora
Walker she bequeathed $100 and
certain other personal property
specuicauy to tinny walker Jen
rles and left the residue ot her es
tate to nieces surviving at the time
of lier death, these nieces includ
ing Emily Walker Jeffries, the re
sidue to be shared equally between
them.
Judge Lewelling holds that the
residue should go to the nieces
of Dora Walker as individuals and
not as a class, opposite to the hold
ing in probate and that that por
tion of the estate which would have
gone to Emily Walker Jeffries had
she survived the testatrix should be
divided among the heirs of Dora
Walker and not go to the surviving
nieces. The county court is in
structed to ascertain who were tho
heirs of Dora Walker at the lime
of her death and tho executor is
required to recast his final account
in keeping with the decree.

GRIM PROBLEM
Olympia, Wash., Jan. 13 (U.R
There will be no stalling on the
state's great current problem un
employment relief, it was evident
today. The 1933 legislature started
work yesterday toward a solution of
what is expected to be th? most
controversial and important lcgisla
tlon of the 23rd session.
The house yesterday learned that
Washington's unemployed total
more than 150,000, a new high. The
report of the University of Wash
ington, social science professors,
was made to the committee on em
ployment.
The university committee rccoin
mended against an alternate plan
of state bonding for $10,000,000. It
was thought the bonds would be de
clared unconstitutional. Another
plan suggested a sustained program
of public works, unemployment in
surance and farm rehabilitation to
promote self help. The university
group outlined plans of relief ef

able aspects of the "good old days"
as he celebrated his 74th birthday

recalled. "And when wo 'put up', j
the horses and drivers were both i
all in.' Some of the winters were i
terrible, and I can't begin to tell ,
the number of times I was upset
and thrown off my hack-on-run- I
nera when riding through bis '

Labor Clash Curbed
At Vacaville, Cal.
Vacavllle.'Cal., Jan. 13 (LP) A
threatened clash hetwppn rinniv
sheriffs and members of the Inter
national Agriculture Workers' un
ion was believed averted today by
the acquittal of two union members
charged with disturbing the peaco.
Members of the union had been
assembled in Vacaville throe days
while four of their number were
tried on charges growing out of a
clash between officers and striking
tree pruners here last month.
Fifty-two deputy sheriffs have
been on duty several days to pre
vent the group from demonstrating.

F
Washington, Jan. U (tP) Presi
dent Hoover is in excellent health
as he prepares to enter private life
after four strenuous years In the
White House.
Unlike many of his predecessors
who left tho White House broken in
health and in spirit, Mr. Hoover will
stroll from the executive mansion
on March 4 with a spring in his
step and a smile on his face, his
associates predicted today.
Capt. Joel T. Boone, White House
physician, attributed Mr. Hoover's
excellent physical condition to his
constant attention to exercise and
diet. When the president entered
the White House four years ago he
weighed 210 pounds, far too much
for a man of his five feet and 11
inches in height.
Upon the advice of Captain Boone
the president began his 7 a.m.
"medicine ball cabinet" two days
after his Inauguration. For half an
hour daily he has tossed a heavy
ball to a group of friends who gath
ered back of the mansion. He also
took long tramps at the Rapidan.
Sometimes he rode horseback.
Although his faco plainly shows
the strain under which he has been,
he hardly looks his 58 years. He
now weighs between 176 and 178
pounds.
