BRUSSELS, January 18.—King Al- bert of Belgium, sovereign of a country and good friend of a people; democrat and sportsman, now is on his annual visit to the Alpine snows of Switzerland, where he skis and toboggans with all boy. With the glow of health in his cheeks and his_rugged six-foot two-inch frame vibrating with fresh energy. Albert soon will turn again to his daily tasks and simple pleasures. Although he will be 54 years old in April, King Albert is as keen a sports- man as when he was a youth. Winter sports such as he indulges in in Switzer- land help to maintain his vigor and the hardiness of his fine physique. As a mountain climber he has exhibited great endurance, and has scaled some of the most dangerous peaks and points of ihe Swiss Alps. Albert works as hard as he plays. He rises early, seldom getting the eight hours sleep that are comended as a minimum to people who five intense lives. Formerly his daily program start- ed with a horseback ride before break- fast, but he had several accidents, one of which might have been serious, and he decided to give up this form of ex- ercise. King Albert cares less for gardening the stadium.

Mechanical Skill Is Expressed. Down in the basement of Laeken Cas- tle is an unusual bit of equipment for a royal residence—a machine shop, mod- ern and fully equipped, where the King | indulges his principal hobby, mechanic: and engineering. The King used to s that if he ever lost his crown he would establish himself as a mechanical en- gineer. Away back in 1898, when the King visited the United States as the Comte de Rethy, he studied railroads under the tutelage of the late James J. Hill. and while traveling through the Sta‘e of Ohio he was thrilled with the experi- ence in driving a locomotive. His en thusiasm for machinery never wan Sometimes he dons overalls and stands at his lathes, handles tools and ma- chines like a skilled workman. His sec- ond son, Prince Charles, has inherited his father’s love of mechanics. Motoring also is a hobby with the Bel- gian monarch, at least, it was until re- cent years.

Only last year, while driving the Queen near Laeken Castle, King Albert witnessed a serious road accident. An automobile containing a Brussels fam- ily turned turtle, and the King and Queen rushed two injured persons to a nearby house, the Queen herself attend- ing their injuries while the King tele- phoned for a doctor. An accomplished linguist, King Albert | speaks fluently French, English, Ger- man, Flemish and Dutch. When abroad, his great ambition is to pass unnoticed among the people of the country. At a restaurant, Albert eats a good, plain meal. He is a keen connoisseur of wines. He is happy when his neighbors are served before him, for this means that his incognito is safe. King Albert spends part of every Sum- mer at Ostend. where the royal resi- dence, the Chalet Royal, has in recent years been surraunded by new buildings, owing to the rapid growth of this fa, mous Belgian coast resort. The present chalet is to be demolished and a new one built near Lombartzyde.

CAMPAIGN PLANNED AGAINST ABATTOIR :‘Arlington County Citizens to Hold Protest Meeting Monday Night at Virginia Highlands. | Special Dispatch to The Star. CLARENDON, Va, January 19.— With the same forces which charac- terized their battle two years ago citi- | zens of Arlington County are preparing o fight the new application of the N. Auth Provision Co. for permit to estab- lish an abattoir on its property on Co- lumbia Pike, near Relee. The former application was withdrawn by the com- panv because of the almost united op- position of the citizens to the project. A protest meeting will be_held Monday night in the Jefferson District Fire- | men’s Hall, under point auspices of the Aurora Hills Civic League, the Virginia Highlands Civic League and the Hume School Civic League. Opponents of the project declare that the principal objections to its establish- | ment are that it will occupy a site too close to magnificent boulevards and parking areas proposed for the Virginia | entrance to the National Capital, and | that odors eminating therefrom would | prove obnoxious. The sponors of the | movement, however, claim that it is to be a modern plant and there will be no objectionable odors. Following a discusston of the abattoir | question, the executive committee of the Arlington County Civic Federation, which opposed the former application of the provision company, took action, which is taken as an indirect stand against the project. The committee de- cided to recommend to the federation “that it would be unwise for the board of supervisors to permit the location of any manufacturing plant or major in- s and here’s another unusual purchase we made from another source!
