During the first months after the Alexander, Peter was the loneliest and saddest King—if not the lone- liest and saddest boy—in the Yp!ld He lived in an atmosphere of sor- 'row and mourning. called upon suddenly to put away childish things and prepare himself Ito rule 14,000,000 people. | But now he is thirteen—his birth- day was observed with national loelebratlon.s September 6—and many !things are changed. He is a real | boy among boys. The last few months have done much for him. Before he started his summer va- cation he gained new confidence by passing his examinations with dis- tinction. During the summer he camped for a long time with nine| boys, three Serbs, two Croats, and ,three Slovenes—representatives of ".he three . peoples of Yugoslavia— as a companion, not a King. Is| He did his share of the routine ,and the others called him the equiv- ialent in their respective languages |of “real guy.” Peter enjoys sports and is adept in riding, tennis, swimming, rowing, bicyeling and motoring. He is deep- 1y interested in mechanics, and of- |ten is busy with his wood-working | outfit. His favorite toy is the large electric train given him by Gen. (Hermnnn Goering of Germany. It (takes up an entire room in the { Dedinjie castle near here. | His teachers say he is a good student, serious and tactful, fully |aware of the task awaiting him when he reaches his majority at |18 and becomes a ruler in his own right. Now there are three regents, | headed by his uncle, Prince Paul. ELLIS OUT ON RETURN FLIGHT TO KETCHIKAN Bob Ellis, flying his Ellis Air|— | Transport red Waco plane, took off |from Gastineau Channel this morn- ing at 10:15 o'clock, for Craig and Ketchikan.

She has been named Virginia Lois. SUICIDE IS MURDER; OLD LAW SAYS S0 LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 4— Committing suicide is quite legal under Arkansas law—but don’t help anyone at that task. A statute nearly 100 years old provides: “Every person deliberately assist- ing another in the commission of suicide or self-murder shall be ad- | judged guilty of murder.” Supreme Court records show the tribunal passed on only one such] case. It affirmed the conviction in| 1914 of a Pike County resident ac-| cused of procuring a narcotic with | which two persons took their lives. The convicted man, J. D. Far- rell of Glenwood, pleaded that he did not know the drug was to be | used for self destruction. The Supreme Court opinion said | that Farrell was used as a medium by three spiritualists, Mrs. Rhodal‘ Carter, M. C. Turner and Thomas L. Turner. The spiritualists took' tablets at specific hours after sign- ing a farewell note. M. C. Turner and Mrs. Carter died. T. L. Turner testified that they took the narcotic after Medium Farrell transmitted a spirit mes- sage from Mrs, Carter's deceased |son, telling them to “come over Ito the other side.” | Before entering into the suicide pact, they deeded property valued at $3,000 to Farrell. The Supreme Court said the Pike |County jury did right in fixing assistant Farrell’s punishment at five years in prison. HE GOT-RIGHTO SAN JOSE, Cal, Nov. 4.—Earl Klepp told police that he had scene of an automobile wreck last night. He told Police Sergeant J. M. uninjured occupants of the other |car to their feet, an excited by- stander yelled, “Let’s lynch him!” “I left right then,” said Klepp. “So would 1,” agreed Carter. BORAH RUNNING AHEAD OF FIELD BOISE Idaho, Nov. 4—Senator Borah was running ahead of his own beaten Republican ticket in {Idaho today. From the outset he |lengthened his lead over the entire ,field and polled nearly 3,000 ahead iof Roosevelt’s total despite Idaho’s Democratic landslide matching the nation’s. . MEYRING HERE FROM SEATTLE After leaving Ketchikan at 11:30 this morning, Pilot Gene Meyring, flying the Marine Airways Fair- child seaplane, landed here this af- ternoon at 2:45, with Ross Gridley, |State Engineer-Inspector, Henry J. Mesta and Thomas Summers from Seattle, and Lewis D. Kelsey, Res- ident Engineer-Inspector who has from that city.

Meyring also repbmd that the' motor, newly instaued in the plane, performed * pertarzly the whole flight. Women Get 'ni&.}‘fiafl, College Mailman Finds GRINNELL, Ia., Nov. 4—Which write and receive the most mail, men or women? Well, John Buckley, who runs the University of Iowa Post Office observes that women students get about 40 per cent more mail than do the men. “After the first five or six weeks of college I note that the home town boys begin saving stationery and -parents apparently run out of advice,” Buckley says. “Then the boys' mail tapers down to an oc- casional welcome check from home. !he girls, on the other hand, sead reeflvo ‘a :fairly constant flow of letters.” Martin, . . o and Mrs. raph|Empire Office Beseiged— |game commission boat at Peters- been in Ketchikan on P.W.A. work, | and Petersburg.

Tele- phones were kept busy and hun- dreds listened to The Empire-KINY returns broadcast over the radio station here. So devastating was the victory that Democrats and Republicans were a little astounded at the re- sults, the former because of the un- precedented landslide and the lat- ter because of the poor showing | made by their candidate. Today it continued to be the sole subject of | conversation. One of the brightest gestures around the town today was at Gar- | | nick’s Grocery where the pictures of | Candidates Landon and Knox were draped in mourning, a clever inter- pretation of the fact that Americans are good losers as well as noisy winners. {RHODE TAKES PLANE TO PETERSBURG; TO- BE GONE TWO WEEKS Clarence J.
