ALFONSO LEADS DEAUVILLE WHIRL Spanish King Central Figure in French Seashore Gam- bling Frenzy. STOFS FOR WORSHIP “Movirz Queens” Among Variety of Women Who Receive His Attentions. By the A ssociated Press. PARI(S, August 19.—King Alfonso of Spatn is leading the social world at Deauville, the world famous French, seaside resort. where a frenzy of gambling, enlivened by constant thrills, is running its mad- dest pace. Wherever the king goes scores of merrymakers of noble birth gather. The Shah of Persla, the crown princes of the Balkans, .Prince Christopher of Greece, the Maharajah of Kapurthala, queens of “movie land” and captains of in- @dustry cluster about him wherever he is. The king is the special favorite of all varieties of women, who hope that he might kiss their hand or dance with them at the evening ball. He is everywhere. and always where he is least expected. When he should be at his pretty chateau, he appears at the cafe. When one looks for him at the racing stables he is probably gone to church. Last Sunday beside himself, the poor abbot was because the mass was finished when King Alfonso entered. On seelng the king, the abbott promptly started it all over again. The Spanish monarch, as always, drives his own big Spanish car and at a speed that threatens to drive Deauville's chief of police into apoplexy. . Deauville has been drenched in rain, mingled with shivering cold during the past few weeks. This has made the casino a refuge for the crowds who wait three deep around the baccarat and chemin de fer tables for a_chance to play. For- tunes have been won and lost on these rainy afternoons. The bank recently dropped 3.000,000 francs in a few hours and changed croupiers during the panic. —_——— ROCKHILL COLLEGE BUYS TRACT NEAR D. C.

Jacques Says Appointee of General Deliberately Ignored His Rights. M. F. Jacques, one of the head purchasing directors in the Treasury Department, resigned from that office yesterday because of disagreements that had their inception during the incumbency of Gen. Dawes as director of the budget. Gen. Dawes, it was explained, creat- ed the bureau of supply with a view to co-ordinating the activities of the purchasing department of the Treas- ury. He appointed Howard Baker of Chicago head of the bureau and, a; few days before the budget director retired, conferred what has been described as “radical authority” upon the new purchasing head. Mr. Jacques at that time had charge of the office which attends to the purchase of furniture, office supplies and typewriters. Difficulties between his office and that of Mr. Baker arose almost immediately, it is said, and continued until they culminated yes- terday in the resignation of Jacques, the latter declaring his rights had been deliberately ignored. During the war Jacques had charge of the distribution of coal to all government bureaus and agencies in Washington. SHOT BY MAIL CARRIER. Youth Dies; Slayer Escapes Across State Line Into Mountains.

The palace grounds, surrounded by a wall and moat, are about a mile and a half square. The buildings have a cheap gaudiness about them which compares in many ways # that of an American street carnival. Still preserved are the throne rooms and the apartments of the king. the senior queen and_ numerous junior queens. Mindon Min, the next to last king of Burma, marrfed fifty-! seven wives—seeking, evidently, to| discover what the “fifty-seven varie- ties” are like. From the palace grounds an| American taxi takes the visitor to the foot of Mandalay hill. one of the holy places of Burma Buddhism. Here those who are adherents of the Buddhist religion and are willing to remove their footwear may obtain great merit by climbing the nearly 400 steps which lead to the summit. The zavats (rest houses) built at the foot of the hill are interesting chiefly on account of the picturcs which appear alons the walls. Most of these depict supposed incidents in the life of Gautama Buddha, and pro- vide gond Instances of an inconsist- ency which is typical of Burmans Though Buddha was an Indian, he is always pictured in Burmese clother And though he lived about 500 years T MW * oo Spe BT Sa g N X0 ThireePicce Overstuffed Sisites Beautiful spring ed. *15 Down brown mahogany. . parts of the frame are finished in da We place this suite in your home for only _$13.(K) down and small monthly payments of $7. only.

It wae cast during the reign of a king who succeeded to the throne of Arakan in the year A.D. 146, The old Burman kings used to try to please Suddha by meaking war on their neighbors, carrying off, as the fruits of victory, all the images they could find. Mandalay has been dwindling in population since it teased to be the capital of Burma. People say that | every other man in town is a monk. and one out in the street early in the morning would almost believe that this is true. There are usnally sev- eral yellow gowns and black begging bowls for each block. Although there are already more than 1,000 pa- godas in and about the city, new ones are now in process of construc- tion. Many Americans have been con- fused as to the exact location of Mandalay by a couple of geographi- cal errors which occur in Kipling’s well known song.
