= (By United Press.) Cambridge, Eng., Oct. 1.—Princes Albert and Henry, second and third gons of King George, temporarily laid aside uniforms today, and went into residence here, donning cap and gown as ordinary “freshmen” at Trinity college. " Their fellow undergraduates stu- @lously avoided taking any special notice, although several week-end parties were formed to visit the rival university of Oxford, in order to in- dulge in a '“‘gloat” of pride at the possession of two royal ‘“freshers.” Oxford had the smile over Cam- bridge a few years ago, when the Prince of Wales was in residence there, but Cambridge has the longer fist of recent royal undergraduates. King George, himself, did not go to either 'varsity, but the late King Ed~ ‘ward and his father, the Prince Con- sort, as well as the late Duke of Clarence, were all Trinity students. The two -princes will follow- the eustomary university course, but Prince Albert will work on special lines, making a particular study of history, - economics, civies, and French. He is a captain in the Royal Air Force, and is particularly proud of his pilot’s “wings.” He has an aeroplane of his own, and will probably spend most of his spare time -flying:- from -the -neighboring aerodrome. Prince Henry, a quieter, and none too strong youngster, is eredited witn the determination to excel at ath- letics, being very keen to get a place om his merits in either the college boat, the cricket eleven or the foot- dall team. He performed fairly well at athletics at Eton, and has just passed through the Royal Military oollege, having been given a second- Jeutenancy in the King's Royal Rifle ‘The brothers will lodge together in characteristic under-graduates’ “diggings,” with one of ‘the royal aides’ as 'secrétary. - A - b T '_' ] i Fowl Dealings. . | Durlng a trip that Bud Fisher, the nist, made, the train stopped”at an "lfimale, “‘or “some’ other “such aser tank town.

Handling lumber is no easy job, and 1 was simply took weak and run down to keep at it. “Finally Tanlac came along, and to'fell' th‘e truth, I had ve!'y‘g little faith in it, but I thought I would try a bottle of it anyway, and that first bottle did me 8o much good that 1 just kept right on taking this won- derful ‘medicine.

I haven’t had a head- ache since I took my first bottle of “Panlae, ‘and my stothach is in such fime ~condition 'that I can” eat just anything I want and I never suffer arny afterwards.

The high cost of living was just as much a problem in Elizabethan times as it 1s today. The Rev. William Har- rison, as quaint a gossip as Pepys, and equally - gifted as-a’-chronicler, com- plained that megistrates in his day winked at ‘merchants who charged more’ for: commodities than they:were permitted by law to charge. In that day, es in this, “bodgers”—this delight- fully descriptive word is of the domi- nle's own coining—were allowed “to burn up corn and raise the price of it; to carry it home unsold, or to a dis- tant market, if they want more money than the buyer likes-to pay; nay, they've leave to export it for the ben- efit of enemies abroad, so as to make more profit. During the world war there was much talk of certain Americans who deliberately destroyed carloads of po- tatoes, cabbages and other vegetables and foodstuffs in order to raise the prices of these commodities. Same old story. There's nothing new, remarks J. N. H, in Rochester Post-Express. Again, to hark back to good Canon Harrison, “pesteriferous purveyors buy up eggs, chickens, bacon, etc.; butter men travel about-and buy up butter at farmers' houses, and have raised its price from 184 to 404 a gallon. These things are 11 for the buyer and the poor mev, and should not be allowed.” Fifty World genownq,l These instruments were THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER “ After all nbout the only thing that is true is that there is no new-thing under- the sun. Like the poor, the profiteer 1s always with us. TAX-EXPERTS LOSING SLEEP Question, “When Is a Girl a Miss?” |s Puzzling Bureau of Internal Revenue. The other day Lew Hahn, executive secretary of the Natlonal Retall Dry Goods association, took the joy out of 1ife for the experts of the bureau of Internal revenue when he asked whether corsets were underwear. Now he has gone and done it again, the query this time being: “When does a girl become a miss?" Framers of the new revenue tax law fncluded In the list of taxables “wom- en's and misses’ wearing apparel.” Ex- perts of the bureau, Mr. Hahn says, have informed retailers that no tax is to be collected on wearing apparel for girls. Retallers say there are hundreds and hundreds of misses, and quite a few married women, who are so petite that they can still wear, and therefore buy, girle’ clothes. Does the fact that such articles of clothing are to be worn by women of mature years change the na- ture of the apparel in the eyes of the law; or do garments designed for girls remain girls’ wear, regardless of the age of those who buy and wear them? This is the puzzle Mr. Hahn has put up to the bureau experts. % Subscribe for The Ploneer. A Waliting Game. “Suppose you wait here in this com- fortable seat while I match these two samples of ribbon,” sald Mrs. Simson sweetly to her husband, who had been entrapped into going shopping with her. When she came back she said con- tritely: “Have I kept you waiting an unpardonable long time, you poor dear?” “Oh, 1 haven't minded it,” he esid cheerfully. “I just jumped on a car and ran up to the football match, and then I took a little spin in Jack Dance’s new car. Did you match the samples?” “One of them. It's so provoking, I shall have to come in again tomorrow, for they are just closing the shop.”— London Ideas. Tubs May 8trike Next. Add to the strikes for higher wages that of negro washerwomen of Louis- ville. Aunt Katle (last name not known even to patrons) was asked the other day 1f she could do a washing the next day. ¢ “’Deed no, chile,” was the reply. “An’' any more washings I do is goin’ to cost yuh ten cents moah,” she added. Pressed for an explanation, Aunt Katie said that she and “seb’ral other washer ladles are goin' on a picnic to- day and won't do no washin’ for no- buddy.” “Furdemoah, dis ten cents moah goes all the time now.
