CHILD KING PREFERS

OBSERVE OLD
“MICKY" TO MAJESTY5“
------------
#
He’ll Make a Good Fireman,
Marie Decides.
Sinaia, Uunmnla.—King Michael I,
R um ania's
five-year-old
sovereign,
flashed down the concrete walk of the
royal summer palace here a couple
of days ago in his red-painted, m inia­
ture American automobile, alm ost
bowling over Dowager Queen Marie
as he went. Ahead of him raced his
favorite dog, Mumbo. They Imagined
themselves going to a fire.
“ Madcap Micky,” as Queen Marie
calls her romping, irrepressible grand­
son, was shrieking, blowing a whistle
and ordering even royalty out of his
path. Queen Marie, who was taking
n stroll in the palace grounds with
the little king's m other, Princess H el­
en, and form er King George of
Greece, said Jocularly:
“Well, If he doesn't m ake a good
king he surely will m ake a first class
fireman."
Prefers “ Micky" to Majesty.
W hen the correspondent of the As­
sociated Press asked Queen Marie to
describe the boy king, she said:
“H e h asn't the rem otest Idea w hat
the events of the last fortnight mean.
He can't understand why people make
such a fuss over him. lie w ants to
be called 'Micky' and not *your m aj­
esty.' ”
“I-lke nil other children, he Is In­
tensely fond of fairy tales, and stories
of adventure and dnring. He exults
with Joy and trium ph when the vil­
lain in a legend has his head cut ofT
or when some wicked character Is
shut up in a dungeon or eaten alive
by wolves. He also loves (lowers, a
tra it which I suppose he gets from
me.
Knowing my love for flowers,
he goes to the palace grounds, picks
little nosegays and puts them a t my
bedside In the evening. He also takes
delight In swimming, rlUlifR his pony
and picnicking.”
Tlie queen said th at the little king
always speaks E nglish to his m other
and Queen Marie, but Rumanian to
others.
Has Few Playmates.
"Micky tins been kept very much
nt home by his m other," said Queen
Marie, “and therefore hasn't many
playmates. Helen puts him to bed nt
0:30 or 7 p. m. in the evening. He
Is up again by 0 :30 or 7 :00 a. in. In
the morning. H alf an hour later lie Is
out on the law n, playing with his
scooter or other toys.
“H is chief characteristics are his
unusual intelligence, argum entative
nature, obstinacy and mischievous­
ness. H is m other Is very religious,
hut Micky dislikes going to church
bem use the services nre so long.”
T he queen said th at Michael had
not fully realized th a t his grandfa­
ther, Ferdinand, was dead, and the
little fellow constantly looked for the
toys which the late king was In the
habit of giving him daily.

W ashington.—If you are curious
about the past, travel in Europe. But
If you would learn of the present and
future, tour the 'United States from

which Ambassador IMieyrredon of Ar­
gentina says he learned during a 10,-
000 mile automobile trip across the
country.
“I saw man yet Involved In con­
quering nature,” Mr. I'ueyrredon ex­
plained. ‘‘It made me realize the end­

pecially In the agricultural sections.
Argentine, a sim ilar country, has much

“There Is interest everywhere In
conserving your natural resources.
Unnecessary exploitation of nature Is
discouraged. Even the anim als nre
protected by signs, ‘Shoot only with

“One unusual and ra th e r pleasant
observation I made,” he rem arked
“was the number of young people In
the small towns drinking milk. On
every table milk instead of wine.”

Constantinople, Turkfey. — Slashing
their foreheads and necks with sharp
swords, lashing their bare backs with
chains and beating their breasts with
their palms, 1,000 1‘erslan residents of
Stamboul succeeded In evading the
T urkish police and carrying on this
year us usual their annual mourning
for two men slain 1,300 years ago.
The Persians were warned that the
T urkish government Intended tlds
year to put a stop to the gory demon­
stration, staged every year on the
tenth night of the moon in the Moslem
month of Moulharrem.
But they gathered secretly in the
courtyard of an ancient hnn, hidden
in u shadowy corner of StHinhoul, and
laying costly Persian carpets on the
cobblestones where camel caravans
used to unload their burdens, they
constructed nn Impromptu mosque
wherein to follow the spectacular
rites.
Persians have performed the cere­
mony on this night for thirteen cen­
turies In memory of H assan und Hus­
sein, grandsons of the Prophet Mo­
hammed, who were m urdered by an
usurping caliph.
T urkish police, arriving on the
scone a fte r the barbaric moonlight
orgy was over, arrested some hundred
of the self-wounded, bleeding par­
ticipants while a thousand Persians
packed in the courtyard rent the night
with their walls and sobs of “Hussein !
H a ssan !"
A hlack-robod, black-gloved Persian
priest, mopping his eyes with a huge
black handkerchief, worked himself
into a frenzy while he walled over and
over the story of the ancient murder
in nil Its gruesome details, telling of
how the young Hassan w as poisoned
by ids own treacherous wife, an ac­
complice of the villainous caliph, nnd
of hew Hussein, w andering half dead
with th irst in the desert of Damascus,
was found by the usurper's men and
beheaded.
Though both Persians and Turks
nre Moslems, the Persians belong to
tlie Shiite sect, which refused to rec­
ognize the line of callplis founded by
tlie usurper.
Since the Seventeenth century nil
T urks Iinve been Sunnites. Nowadays
some 10,000 Persian Shiites reside In
T urkey peacefully nnd the only oppo­
sition by the Turkish government Is
its attem pt to put a stop to the annual
flagellations of Its Persian guests.
National Farm Leaders

Chicago.—The A gricultural Club of
America, ft super-organization of
farm ers and of business leaders deal­
ing with agriculture, which will be
“the largest and most democratic
club In existence,” and will have its
own home In a $35,000,000 “Agricul­
tural Capitol building” to bo owned

Charles F. Curtis of the Iowa State
college nt Ames nnd other national
farm lenders, the organization ex­
pects to attain a membership of 510,-
500 farm ers and business men who

as follow s:
“To centralize, and make possible a
closer co-operation between all exist­
ing farm organizations on m atters of
national or group-interest.
“To aid them by providing them a
perm anent central home.
“To enable such business men ns
implement makers, bankers and others
dealing with farm ers to understand
the farm situation better from di­
rect contact with actual farmers.
“To create a fund of millions of
dollars with which farm ers may fi­
nance great projects th a t will help
them meet their needs.
“ Finally, to make Chicago, as Its lo­
cation nnd shipping facilities entitle
It to he. the agricultural capital of
America.”
H eadquarters of the club nre to be

BUT ONE SHIP LEFT 1
IN v / h a P ng PORT
New
Bedford’s Sea Era
Drawing to Close.
New Bedford, Muss.—A nather lierolc
chapter III the history of New Eng­
land, filled with the exploits of strong
men in combat with tlie giants of the
sea. Is drawing to a close.
This old-time port, th a t has been
home to hundreds of suil of whalers,
now can boast only one whaling ship.
The schooner John It. M anta may be
tlie "last of the whalers," for most of
the old-time whalemen are dead, and
the M anta's only hope of recroiting a
crew is to sail across the A tlantic
ocean to tlie Azores.
A few still live who remember the
heyday of whaling, when th is port
teemed with the activity of the w hal­
ing barks, when men snlled aw ay on
seemingly Interm inable voyages, when
wives and families of seamen and
captains haunted the "widows' walks"
on the old-time h o u ses hoping to
catch a glimpse of a returning ship.
Ilut ttiose who remember are grow­
ing old and some are nearing the
century mark.
Recalls W haling Thrills.
Among those who remember keenly
those earlier days is Capt. Ulysses E.
Mayhew of West Tisbury, on tlie is­
land of M artha's Vineyard. H is youth­
ful appearance and spirit belie his
fourscore years. In his life he has
had adventures and experiences that
would cram more th an one movie
“thriller."
As a boy In his 'teens he sailed his
first whaling voyage during the Civil
war. On th at trip he learned about
stal kiug the w hale in small boats,
harpooning, tlie downward ru sh of
tlie wounded w hale nnd tlie peril to
tlie small boat as the rope ran off
from the shrieking windlass. And he
learned how the “kill” nt last was
effected, with lance or bomb-gun.
Last Survivor of Lafayette Crew.
Captain Mayhew believes he Is the
last survivor of tlie crew of the bark
L afayette, burned and sunk with two
other Yankee ships off Fernando de
Noronhn, Brazilian convict island, by
the Confederate w arship Alabama,
A fter a series of adventures he was
sent back by the United S tates con­
sul from Brazil nnd promptly shipped
on another whaler. On this next voy­
age he saw tlie U. S. S. Kearsnrge
a t Faya), in the Azores, ju st a fte r It
had sunk tlie Alabama.
It Is a far cry, he says, from those
old days to the modern times th at
have seen the typical old whaling
harks Greyhound and W nndcrer pass
on. Of those proud times, only the
schooner John It. M anta renmins. And
New Bedford has long since turned
from whaling to Its great cottou tex­
tile mills.

Chicago.—A Jury of 222 authors, e<l
Itors, business men niftl teachers, who
returned their verdict to Prof. S. A
Leonard of the University of Wiscon
sin, acting f«>r the national council ot
teachers of English, has put nn O. K
on misuse of “shall” and “will” nnd
“who” nnd “whom.” Aiming 45 l«icu
tions banned from speech and writing
by the jury, however, are these:
“None of them are here.**
“ Will you be at the Browns* this
evening?”
“ Who are you looking for?**
“T here’s a dangerous curve nnd
you’d better go slow.”
“ It Is me.”
“There Is a bed, dresser and two
chairs in the room.'*
“Can I he excused?**
“T hat chick must be fixed.”
“T :y nnd get It.”
Some members of the Jury said the>
would accept all these idioms. Virtu
ally every member of the Jury said th*
hidebound rules of rhetoric were fast
giving way. Nice distinctions between
“shell” and “w ill” nnd “ may” and
“can” are parsing in everyday speech
in favor of originality and forceful
ness.
