But do not laugh too soon. Laughter is good, but in the right prace. Mis- placed irony falls back on the one who uses it. But that desire to know endears Americans to me. It is one of the reasons why I am so fond of talking to them. No subject is too small for interest and every thing is worth while, I have no use for the skeptic, for the man who does not want to be told anything for fear it should be found out that he really knows less than he has been pretending to. But you Americans always ask and I for one am quite ready to answer. I shall also do some asking when my turn comes, and as you play falr, I suppose vou will be as ready with your answer as 1. Sometimes, I admit, you do upset our good old ideas. You even some. times hurt our feelin You are critical. You like to scoff because, like most human beings, you do not be taken in. You do not mean to be unkind but you like using cour special kind of American wit on all thing: u do not understand in_the same way as we do. You do know how to be funny, that I will allow. I am often inclined to laugh with you even at my own ex: pense. But I do often wish I could answer your wit with my own, be- ou know, but they keep it to themselves. Till now they have always held their tongues. You can say anything you like about them, absurd things, unfair things, unkind, critical, even nasty things, and they remain dumb; they do not defend themselves.

You think there is something in me, that I am real and alive and you admit women coming forward and taking their share of public life. So I am not put aside as a mere royalty without any further interest. ~You keep wondering who I am, what I really am. But that is just what is dificult to make you understand. Our points of view are different. There are so many things which seem quite natu- ral'to me which seem astonishing to vou, Incredible, absurd. Why absurd? Why is it more ab- surd, more incredible, more astonish- ing to be a queen than anything else? (I write it with a capital letter, 1 hope you observe) Why is it more absurd, more_ astonishing being a queen than being a millionaire’s wife with a tremendous house? Why more bsurd than being a dressmaker or even a cook? It all depends upon the lady, the dressmaker, the cook and the —queen. : 1 believe in my usefulness just as does the rich lady, the dressmaker or the cook—and if you went more close- Iy into the subject you would soon see why and you would end by agree- ing with me, T am sure. ¥irst of all you ought to be grateful to us were it only for the source of interest we are to vyou, the ever-new butt for your witticlsms.

VERNON, N. Y., May 30 wway Tearle, motion picture actor, and his wife, Adele Rowland, who'are now at Hollywood, have filed notice of an appeal to the appelate division from a recent verdict of $20,- 000 to Max Weinberg and his son Jacques of Chappaqua, for injuries alleged to have been suffered by the boy when he was bitten by Tearle's pet dog, Happy. 3 The boy received the jury’s verdict earlier in the month in Supreme Court for $15,000 and the father $5,000 for loss of services and doctors’ bills. The alleged attack occurred at the Tearle country estate at Chappaqua in December, 1921. The actor alleged that the boy was trespassing upon his estate when he was bitten. Former Sun Editor Dead.

Thousands of spectators viewed the race from their cars or leaned around the wall circling the track. De Paolo, 27 years old, got his rac- ing baptism as a riding mechanic with De Palma, his proud uncle. With the advent of the onewseated racing car De Paolo was graduated in the role of mechanic to the driving game. He drove his car the fastest 21 miles ever traveled over the Indianapolis | course when he clicked off an average of 114.083 miles an hour in his qual- ifying test. Drove Masterful Race. De Paolo drove a masterful race to- day, driving every inch of the dis- tance, with the exception of 65 miles, when he gave way to his relief driver, Norman Batten, from the 105th to the 131st lap. De Paolo relinquished his seat so he would be able to get a brief rest from the bumping he had re- ceived and to be in condition for the final 180-mile dash. The car De Paolo drove was equipped with a geared supercharger, especially designed for the race. This device, a sort of com- pressor attached to the side of the en- gine between the carburetor and the’ intake manifold, has three distinct ad- vantages, its inventors say. The fuel |18 fed into the cylinders at 10 pounds | gredter than normal atmospheric pres- sure, and the second advantage is that the increased pressure in the cylin- ders at the beginning of the suction stroke and at the end of the exhaust stroke scavenges the burnt gas out | of the clearing space during the short period of time when both inlet and | exhaust valves are open. The third |is that the passage of the gasoline at | high speed through the veins of the than could be obtained otherwise. All of the cars in today’s race were equipped with balloon tires for the first time, and experts were unani- mously agreed that they withstood the punishing grind with’ extraordinary durability. They enabled the drivers to travel at greater speed, even around the turns, and provided su- perfor riding comfort. The Bride’s Bouquet.

By the Associated Press COAL GLEN, N. C., May 30.—Wear- iness had control of this little mining town, scene of Wednesday's expolsion in the Carolina Coal Co.’s” mine, in which 53 lives had been snuffed out Worn to the point where their phys- ical conditions had dulled their ca- pacity for sorrow, the relatives of the 53 miners slept & troubled, grieviug sleep. And in a dozen little grave yards in Chatham and adjoining cou- tles their,loved ones who had been called away slept the eternal sleep, the peace of deagh. From early morning till the long shadows of descending twilight stretched across the sand hills and pines of the section, the burial of the dead had gone forward. Little groups of grief-stricken relatives, their sor- row no longer restrained as it had been while they stood mutely near the mine and watched the little cars with their death emerge, saw their fathers, broth- ers and husbands Inid beneath the sod. Then they turned i ¢ to their homes to take at last the re: which they had denied themselves during | the long vigil before the mouth of the shaft. And as the last body was returned to the earth, a statement was issued by Bion Butler, vice president of the mining company, which signalized the end of the rescue work. Late this afternoon he announced that every sectlon of the mine had been explored, all bodies so far as it was known had been recovered, and the death list as completed an re-checked showed that 63 miners had perished in the triple explosion. PRESIDENT OF FRANCE LIVES THE SIMPLE LIFE Takes Walk in Forest Each Day. Favorite Dish Similar to Fish Balls. By the Associated Press. PARIS, May 30.—President Dou bergue, like his Republican counter- part at Washington, is fond of the simple life, and an indefatigable worker. During his vacation stay at the chateau in Rambouillet, which serves as a Summer white house, the President arises early every day for a walk through the famous forest in which King Francis I hunted. There he saunters swinging a heavy walk ing stick and thoroughly enjoying himself. His companions on these jaunts are the officers of his militar household or the secretary of the Elysee Palace’s permanent staff who, while appreciative of their chief's smiling good humor and rich south- ern accent, do not exactly relish the early hour at which he starts his morning constitutional. M. Doubergue lives frugally but well at Ramboutllet, his favorite dish being “brandade de morue,” which is something like New England fish balls seasoned with a suspicion of garlic. His favorite drink is red wine from his native Rhone Valley. In Agreement.

If this claim is granted the surplus balance will be $2,600,000. That part which s not used for schools will go to parks and play- grounds Another item which will tend to in crease the total of the next budget thout bearing on the real estate tax rate is street paving out of the gasoline-tax collection. Whenever a street is paved from the gasoline-tax fund half the cost is assessed against the abutting property and these as sessments go back into the gasoline fund. It is estimated that these as- sessments will increase the gasoline- tax fund by several hundred thou sand dollars in the fiscal year 1927. 6040 Plan Still Law. is also anticipated that the total sessed value of real estate, which forms the basis of the tax rate, will increase during the next year as the result of building operations. The Citizens' Advisory Council has heen active during the past few weeks in ascertaining the needs of the vari. ous departments, but has not yet made its suggestions to the Commissioners as to the total that should be asked for. The effect a $35,000,000 budget would have upon the tax rate would depend in a large measure upon what the next Congress decided to do on the question of fiscal relations. For the past two years Congress has been appropriating a lump sum of $9,000, 000 as the Federal Government's share, but has not permanently settled the problem as the basic la% designat ing a 60-40 proportion still exists.
