| OF FALLS ON HEIGHTS

) GENEVA.-Mountain climbing
! brought an unusually heavy crop of
accidents this season. One of the
most sensational occurred on the
iPiz Col recently, when two women
! slipped and fell into a crevasse 100
feet deep. Their male companion,
unable to help, rushed for guides,
and, after seven hours’ imprison
ment, the women were extricated,
one dead and the other unconscious.
On the same day, three young
couples had just reached the sum
■mit of Luisin peak, above Salvan,
jwhen a girl 21 years old collapsed
'and fell 500 feet. After an all
! night search, guides found her body
' and carried it with great difficulty
|to the village of Martigny.
j A climber named Durisch died at
St. Moritz after a fall on Mount

RUMANIAN KING
! BECOMES USEFUL
AS SOUP LADLER
_
CIBIU, Rumania.—The picture of
a king, with a linen duster covering
his uniform, ladling out soup and
sugar to his hungry people, is one
that will live long in the memories
of the girls on duty at the Ameri
can Red Cross supply depot here.
It was a busy afternoon, for the
crowd of peasants seeking food
was unusually large and the small
number of American girls were
hard put to it to keep the line mov
ing. The heat was intense and the
little group of workers, who had
been on their feet for hours, seemed
about to collapse, when suddenly
from the doorway came a man's
voice saying:
“I am ready for work, girls.
What can you give me to do?”
Bent over a barrel of cocoa. Miss
Ruby M. Applebee, of Minneapolis,
straightened up to see from whom
had come this offer of much-needed
aid, a®d beheld before her 'King
Ferdinand of Rumania, who by this
time had advanced into the room.
Kings meant little then when
hungry people were to be fed, so
Miss Applebee suggested that the
king first try his hand at the salmon
and jam. But the king as a dis
tributing agent for the American
Red Cross almost wrecked the pro
ceedings, for his subjects could not
quite grasp the idea of their king
standing behind a counter and pass
! ing out canned goods. Seeing the
confusion that resulted, the king
i suggested to an aide that the peas
;ants dispense with all formality;
but it is certain that for ages to
come some empty can that once con
tained an American food product
.will occpy the place of honor in
'many a Rumanian household.
: “Why shouldn’t he work," said
one American girl that evening,
“when his wife, Queen Marie, is
the hardest w'orker the American
Red Cross has here in Rumania?”
A warrant was issued recently
|by thg United States commissioner
in Juneau for Arvid Franzen. who
has been acting as secretary of the
Alaska Labor union in that place.
The complaint was sworn to by
Gerald J. Quinn, who claimed tha:
!Franzen attempted to kill him with
a revolver. Quinn alleged that he
and Franzen had an argument in
the union hall which ended in a
| fist fight. He also alleged that
1 during the fight Franzen drew a
| gun and would have shot him had
| not bystanders interfered. As it
! was, the gun was discharged an.!
the bullet hit a bystander in the to -.

LONDON.—The sale of the Duke
of Devonshire’s town house to a
real estate syndicate for $5,000,000
is the latest of the seats of the old
nobility to pass into the hands of
outsiders. The purchaser of this
London home of the governor-gen
eral of Canada is an American syn
dicate, and it is reported that a
hotel will be erected on the site.
Devonshire House was erected
nearly two centuries ago, in 1738,
at a cost of about $1,000,000. It
is one of the most important and
historic of the old London man
sions with glooomy exteriors and
splendid interiors which Thackeray
and the other Victorian novelists
made the stage settings of their
most impressive passages of London
life. It stands with characteristic
British disregard for display, its
back to London’s chief thorough
fare, Piccadilly, its porches facing
a spacious garden worth some dol
lars per square inch. Lansdowne
House, the town place of the Mar
quis of Lansdowne, which commands
an even larger garden, is the near
est neighbor, and that is reported
,to be on the market also,
i The governor-general of Canada
and the Marquis of Lansdowne both
own three or four country estates
as well. They are at the front of
the great landed proprietors of the
i kingdom, and the duke's palace
named Chatsworth, in Derbyshire,
is one of the most magnificent pri
vate establishments in the world
surpassed by nothing in Britain ex
Icept Windsor Castle.
Chesterfield House, owned by gen
erations of Lords Chesterfield, anc
long considered the finest of the oirl
London residences, has been sole
recently. This had been rented fo:
some years by the Duke of Rox
burge. who married Miss May Goe
let, the daughter of Ogden Goelet
of,New York. Here the govemmen1
entertained Colonel House when h*
came to London as special commis
sioner after the United States en
tered the war. The Duke of Rut

anted by the American merchant
George Selfrigde. Lord Ebury'.
great country estate in Surrey nea!
London has been purchased by i
newly created peer. Lord Lever
hulme, the soap magnate.
' The newspapers ascribe variou.
reasons for these sales. The chiei
one is that super-income taxes an<
the general increase of the cost o:
living makes impossible the upkee;
of such buildings and the necessarj
retinue of servants; another tha'
the motor car makes it possible foi
people to live in the country am
still enjoy all the advantages o1
town life. Another writer credit1
the Duke of Devonshire with the
belief that the constant sight ol
such costly private possessions b>
the bus-riding masses who daily past
the iron gates of Devonshire Housi
tends to promote Bolshevism.
"England Changing Hands" is the
heading under which a weekly paper
groups long pages of notices ol
estates for sale. Amberley Castle,
one of the properties of the late
Duke of Norfolk, is in the latest
list. Also Ruthin Castle, long in
the possession of the Cornwallis
West family; the Rothes estate,
linked with the ancient earldom of
that name; and Burton Pynsent,

:
!well Court, Abby-Owm-Hir,—these
are typical offerings on the real
estate market. They are described,
jsome of them as Jacobean, Tudor,
Queen Anne, Georgian; pictured
with moats, turrets, gargoyles, pan
eled oak walls, and carved stair
rails; and many have appertaining
to them lakes, deer parks, Italian
and Georgian gardens, “hunting with
four packs,” and even “feuing
land." In such reading matter the
knowing find between the lines not
a few stories of family tragedies.
Apart from sales of whole prop
erties, many great estates are being
curtailed by placing a few thousand
acres on the markets here and there.
The aggregate of these land trans
fers has amounted to millions of
acres this year. The redistribution
of the land into smaller holdings,
which has been the principal reform
of the past century in Ireland, is
generally considered all for the good
of the larger island.
The Ketchikan Times has adopted
the slogan, “Ketchikan’s Home Pa
per." which it carries at the heal
of its front page. The Times claims
that it was born, financed and raised
by parents who live in Ketchikan,
and that it is the only paper in the
city having the right to use the
slogan.
