PLAY London, June 21.—For the first time since the death of Queen Vic- toria the card room at Windsor castle has been closed during the week cf the Ascot races, Queen Mary having informed her guests that she does not desire them to play bridge. .The reason for the ban, it is whispered, is that at the last Ascot party at Windsor, in 1914, the late Capt. Wyndham lost $7,500 in an all-night session, while the Prince of Wales is said to have “dropped” $3,900 in the same “little -sociable game.”’ GOING TO FRISCO?

Since she came out. from England, nearly 25 years ago, she hag been learning. this trade ‘ot being queen, and now she has been at it for more than five years, in place of Car- men Sylvia, and she has made it her business to know her country and her people. She aspirea to be: queen in every sense, and she, is quite as willing to! take the duties of the job as well as its pleasures. As for its pleasures she gets all the fun she can out of it, dress- eg as well.as she can, to enhance her veauty which is famous. goes around, shabby and red-nosed, it makes a great deal of difference, I think,” she said. “It is not expected of us and so why should I do it? 1 felt rather mortified when in Paris just after the armistice and I had to attend receptions frequented by all the beauties of the world, and was not able to wear some of my splendid jewels which had been sent to Mos- cow. Just to think that I had four or; five crowns, some of them inherited from my Russian mother, and not a one to wear in Paris.” As Red Cross Nurse That the quen is quite as willing to shoulder the duties cf queendom is cest'fied to by thousands of men and women who met her during the Ger- nan occupation of Rumania. As a Red Cross nurse she was visiting the hospital of the incurables at Jassy. Whcn she and the surgeon reached the loor of the hopeless: “there’s no need of going in there, it is too dangerous,” said the surgeon. “They are dying— it-is my duty,” answered the queen. Jus: after ghe entered the queen heard a dying soldier calling for his wife. Witneut a word the queen walked to the bed of the typhus victim, 2, “Here I am.” and knelt and aced the man, who died in her . happy. ‘The queen is a practical queen. In the same city of Jassy, this fact was discovered and when the mayor want- ed ‘o get the snow cleaned off the streets, he timedly applied to the que ‘n for help. “Why bless you, of course I will help,” said the queen, and ; she led the gang of ‘snow-shovelers. | After this whenever medicines and in- struments were needed in the hos- | pitals, or extra nurses, the queen was | called upon. Bread Famine Once there was a bread famine. The queen got her own private motor cars scouring the country for hour and then she organized the bakeries of the city. She did the same when there was a wood and ¢oal famine. “As a child I was taught to live for others,” said the queen in one part of the conver. ‘sation with the Associated Press cor- respondent. “So whatever I do I do naturally, without effort. As a little ovel a @| girl I was told that this was part of the trade.” “Should the queen get a touch’ of internationalism. and go on strike some day, that would be a hard day for Rumania,” said laughingly Take Jonescu, one of her admirers, a man regarded as the keenest minded law- yer! financier and politician in the country. jose eee B® During, 1019. more than 140,000 teachers, or about one out of five in the United States, dropped out of the profession. > U Ree SP Ooe) Ypres, Belgium—Farms all over Belgium arerapidly being re-stocked.

C. Fu'bright of ,Houston, Tex., representing the Soath- western Industrial Traffic League, told the Interstate. Commerce Commis- sion that rate ingreases alone would not solve the nation’s transportauon vrohlems, and that, the full 81 por «ent. increase” asked by the. western roads was not. necessary. The, railroads face three major prob- lems, Mr. Fulbright declared; first. ‘he labom problem; second, the rev- enue problem, and third’ the tax proo- lem. Increased rates will not solve the labor question under existing condi- tions, he said, declaring that the con- diticns themselves must be changed. The root of the revenue problem lies in the market for railroad securities, vr Fulbright said. and increased rates will not create a market for the secur- ities. Discussing the tax, Mr. Fulbright said investors in railroad securities were burdened with a heavy surtax and normal tax, which reduced the re- tarn on the investment to only 2 or + per cent, while municipal securities | and Liberty bonds largely were tax free and thus gave a greater return to the investor. Washington, | Fulbright said the dumping of for-' eign-owned securities .on the Ameri- can market contributed to the stagna-/ tion in the railroad securities market. He urged that the railroads use the same diligence in having the “tax dis- crimination” removed by legislation as they do in seeking increased rates. {| Uniform rates throughout the West ; wore urged by Mr. Fulbright, who de- clared that the Southwestern territory | should not be singled out for higher) ~ rates or Separate. territorial treat- mept.

P. Trickett, managing director of the Min- .eapous ‘fraffic association, told the delezates to the North Central Elec- trical association convention here. “The situation is the most serious in the history of the northwest terri- He and relief is very slow,” said Trickett. “Perhaps the situation 's best reflected on the books of the Ninth Federal Reserve bank here. The ‘otal of rediscounted loans to member banks June 1, 1920( was $94,221,629, compared with. $24,866,000 on the same tate in 1919, showing that about $70,- 000,000 more, is outstanding ‘this, year than a year ago, due entirely to the shortage of boxcars. “The Minneapolis terminal eleva- tors on June 10, reported 6,820,000 bushels of grain sold and contracted for shipment, practically all of which is past due and held up by the car shortage.” Mr. Trickett produced the latest fig- ures on twin city terminal capacity, showing that Minneapolis can handle 20,000 more cars than St. Paul. He submitted the following figures in mak- ing the comparison: Minneapolis, total capacity, 34,266, can handle 28,585; St. Paul. total capacity 14,504, can handle 14,050; Minnesota Transfer, total ca- pacity, 4,500 can handle 3,000.
