History of Legion. | The District of Columbia Air Legion was organized in March, 1928, by a group of 20 men and two women who desired to learn to fly, but felt unable to pay the high prices charged at that time for instruction. Within a month a ground school had been organized and a 50-hour course, lasting eight weeks was started. Membership increased | rapidly and the class soon was filled. A second class was started, then a third and a fourth. It then was decided to organize permanently. Subsequently the members have purchased twc training planes in which more than 1,000 hours | of instruction have been given without & major crack-up. ‘When the Department of Commerce Qyizg school regulations were put into effect recently the ground course was reorganized and the method of keeping records has hren reorganized to conform. ‘'ne flylng activities of the club also | duchess. have been moved to the field of the Mount Vernon Airways, below Alexan- ria, Va, a flield judged to be more suited to student training instruction than that at College Park, Md., where the legion formerly was located. ‘The legion now has more than 150 members, three of whom have purchased their own afrplanes.

This is the fifth of a series of 15 articles presenting the authentic hx ography of the Queen of England. Yesterday - the sixth article inad- vertently was published out of turn. | The seventh article will be published | tomorrow. The author of the bi- | ography, who wishes to appear here | under a nom de plume, is in a posi- tion to write with authority of the royal family of England. BY W. T. MARSDON. Queen Mary is generally supposed to have had two love stories in her life. The first was her engagement to the Duke of Clarence, the second her en-| King of England after his elder brother, | the Duke of Clarence, died. She had plenty of admirers as a girl. She was quite good looking, with ex- nrescive eves, @ clear comulezion and | a fine, well rounded, well shaped figure. | Young men from the foreign office and | officers in the guards were. severely snubbed when they attempted anything like a flirtation with the princess, known among them as “that fine )(x)k-§ . e said of Princess May at this time: “She is like Myra in Dis- raeli's. novel ‘Endymion,’ whose ‘pride, intense pride, never permitted her any levity of heart.’” ‘The princess was ambitious beyond doubt. She may sometimes have dream- ed, as any girl would who was brought into constant contact with the sons of King Edward and knew them from her youngest days almost as intimately as if they had been her brothers, that one of them might fall in love with her, and that perhaps some day she might be Queen. A Practical Minded Princess. But if such dresms did enter her mind there is no doubt she dismissed them at once. She always has been a common sense, practical minded woman. But when she was told by her mother that Queen Victoria desired to arrange a marriage between her and the eldest son of the Prince of Wales she made not the least pretense of hesitation. ‘The Rev. Oldfield Warner, vicar of a parish near Richmond, knew the Tecks | intimately. When the duchess told him of May's probable engagement he asked: | “How did she take the news?"” “Very calmly,” sald the duchess. “She said she would like to marry Edie (the Duke of Clarence) and thought she would get on well with him.” Not in Love With Him. “But is she in love with the duke?” asked the vicar. : “I don't really think so,” replied the . “I don't think May is ever likely to do what you call fall in love {wl:-l:\ anybody as I did with her dear ather.” love with. He dressed superlatively w21l and was known as “Collar and Cuffs” at Cam- bridge from the length of his cuffs and | the height of his collar. He was languid and effeminate, with curly hair, and he spoke with a drawl. “Really” was his usual exclamation when confronted with any unexpected situation or news. In the very exclu- sive set in which he moved, it was re- | garded as thoroughly plebian to express,| surprise or any kind of human emotion in sy “way except by & drawled “really.” He Forgot to Propose. It is said that when he was informed by the late King that a marriage be- tween him and the Princess May would be favorably regarded by Queen Vic- toria, he merely ejaculated, “Really.” and then apparently forgot all about the proposed alliance. Anyway, so the story goes, after what was supposed to be a period of court- ship, he was asked by Queen Victoria if he had yet proposed to May, and he ex- claimed, h, really, I forgot all about that idea.’ ‘Then he left his grandmother’s pres- ence, and meeting May on the door- step asked her to marry him, and was accepted. ; Pure— healthful —deli- cious—made only of pure table quality sweet cream from tuberculin tested cows in the"Land of Sky Blue Waters.” E und isGovern- t STACH'S .

Didn’t Turn Her Head. The prospect was enough to turn any girl’s head, but it did not turn the head of the quiet, determined, clear-minded girl who is today Queen of England. She saw all the glory and glamor of the new life, but she saw also quite clearly the other side of the picture, She saw the painfulness of her posi- tion; she saw her father's family, of which she had always been intensely proud, despised by the family she was to marry into: and worse, she saw how the poor, half-invalid father for whom she cherished the deepest affection uld be treated by members of the xieat, wealthy English royal family of ich she was to become a member. One who knew the Teck family inti- mately has left it on record as his opin- ion that if .the Princess May had been able to raise herself and her family out of the poverty they were in by an: Real_figs i e in the cake... other means, she would have hesitated, ambitious as she was, about consenting to become the wife of the Duke of Clarence. Anyway, she did consent, and the news went out that the eldest son of the Prince of Wales was to marry the beautiful Princess May, and upon both poured congratulations from all quar- ters of the globe. Then came a shooting party at Sand- ringham; the Duke of Clarence, with a temperature of 101, went shooting on a January day, and four days later he had died of influenza.
