Mary, “Housewifely Queen” of England Shops
To Outfit Her Kitchen In Buckingham Palace
WINDSOR-ON-THE-THAMES, Apr.
15.—Almost the last journey away
from Buckingham Palace mad*1 by
Queen Mary, known as England’s
“housewifely” queen, before depart
ing with the king for his Mediter
ranean cruise, was a one-day visit
to Windsor Castle to see that the
spring cleaning had been started in
proper order, so that everything
would be spick and span for her re
turn toward the end of April.
Incidentally, the queen brought
with her to the castle, her summer
home and one of the world’s most
magnificent structures, a number of
labor saving devices which she had
bought herself the day before at an
ideal home exhibit in London. One
of these was a new kind of knife
cleaner, the queen examining the ap
paratus and making several inquiries
as to whether the dealer was certain
that the polishing roller would not

harm certain old fashioned knives
of very delicate make which were
used generations ago in the kitchens
of Windsor. Another exhibit which
interested the queen keenly was an
I improved kind of mop. She watched
I the demonstration with interest, and
! even took hold of the handle herself
for a moment, but she did not buy,
much to the disappointment of the
j dealer.
Economy, however, is the watch
j word at Windsor as well as the roy
; al palace in London. Under the pres
i ent regime there is not encourage
ment for wastefulness such as ob
tained in the days of other rulers.
One of the favorite stories among
j residents of Windsor concerns Queen
j Victoria and is known as “The cro
i cuses and the sentinel.” Soon after
i her ascension to the throne, Queen
J Victoria was delighted by the ap
pearance of the first crocuses of
the season near the castle terraces.
Fearing that the blooms might be
destroyed by sparrows or other birds,
the queen sent for a soldier to pro
tect them.
Queen Victoria never rescinded the
order, and year after year a sentry
stood at the same spot, day and
night. During the war when every
available soldier was needed at the
front it occurred to a castle official
to look into the archives to learn
why and when the sentinel had been
stationed near the crocus bed, and
this led to the disappearance of one
of the sights of Windsor.
Gateway want-ads bring results.

“Six Cylinder Love”
Comes to Liberty
The unprecedented success of Wm,
Anthony McGuire’s stage play, “Six
Cylinder Love,” which played for 53
continuous weeks on Broadway, is
one of the happy indications of the
entertainment value of the William
Fox screen version of this produc
tion which will make its appearance
at the Liberty Theater tonight.
Another point strongly in its fa
vor is the fact that Ernest Truex re
creates on the screen the role in
which he had such remarkable suc
cess on the stage. Other members of
the stage production who appear in
the motion picture are Donald Meek,
Ralph Sipperly and Berton Church
ill. Florence Eldredge plays the in

Secretary Passes Up Gay
Trappings Cowboy Days
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 15.—
secretary of Agriculture Jardine, who
was a cowboy long before he became
a cabinet member, is becoming a
frequent visitor to the capitol's bri
dle paths, but he rides a horse nam
ed “Cal,” and has eliminated from
his equippage any article suggestive
of his range-riding experience.
A sleek thoroughbred Morgan horse
and modern riding togs have dis
placed the rugged cow pony and
leather chaps of earlier days. Given
his choice between an English rid
ing saddle with the conventional
short stirrups and a typical stock
saddle with high pommel and cantle
and lor^g stirrups, the secretary se
lected the former.
The horse, Cal, was raised at the
Department of Agriculture’s farm at
Middlebury, Vermont. His coat is
dark chestnut and he has won sev
eral championship ribbons.
