BORIS'BETROTHAL TALK IS REVIVED Bulgarian King Is Received by Pope, Giving Rise to Wedding Rumors. By the Associated Press. ROME, January 11.—Boris III, King of Bulgaria, had a conference with Pope Pius XI this evening and thereby re- vived rumors of the possibility of his marriage with Princess Gilovanna, daughter of the Italian sovereigns. It was stated the greatest difficulty in the way of such a match was the dif- ference in religion between the two. It has been impossible so far to induce the Pontiff to grant the necessary dispensa- tion for the 22-year-old Italian Princess to marry the King, who by the consti- tution of Bulgaria must belong to the Orthodox Church, without a written promise that she would remain a Catho- lic and that their children would be brought up in the Catholic faith. Many Precedents Cited. All_sorts of precedents have been brought forward and many expedients suggested without finding any to satisfy all persons in the present case. A solu- tion which persons outside the Catholic Church have considered the most prob- able is that the princess retain her re- ligion and bring up all her children as Catholics except her first-born son who would be reared in the Orthodox re- ligion in order to succeed Boris on the Bulgarian throne. It was recalled that Boris was born and baptized a Catholic. His mother, the first wife of King Ferdinand, was Princess Marie Louise of Bourbon Parma, a Catholic house. She was most devoted to the Holy See, was born in Rome and was baptized by Pope Pius IX. Ferdinand, wishing to have a greater hold on the Bulgarian people, decided that the baby Boris must leave the COatholic Church. He wrote to Pope Leo XIII and implored the nonagena- rian Pontiff to consent. The Pope in- dignantly refused and reprimanded Ferdinand for even suggesting the change. Ferdinand Changed Law. Nevertheless, shortly afterward Boris, who was then only 2 years of age, entered the ‘Orthodox Church. The ian constitution which origin- Bulgari: ally permitted the sovereign to belong | fs to any religion was changed by Ferdi- nand to make it compulsory for the King to be of the Orthodox faith. The Bulgarian people often have made known _their wish that their ruler, who be 36 on January 30, take a royal bride. His simplicity in living and his faithful performance of his State duties have greatly endeared him to his subjects, but they feel the kingdom will not be complete until it has a queen and a hope for a direct heir to the throne. ‘The two elder sisters of Giovanna have been married for some years and her brother, the Crown F-ce, who is sbout three years her senior, recently 7th, 8th-and E Sts—FAMOUS FOR QUALITY SINCE 1860—National 9800 ABASE THE SUNDAY BERRY SCHOOLS TO OBSERVE 98th ANNIVERSARY MONDAY Famous Georgia Institution, Founded for Youths in Rude Log Cabin. Educational Leader Twice Has Won Awards for Work in Mountains. By the Associated Pres MOUNT BERRY, Ga., January 11.— Twenty-eight years ago Monday a daughter of the South, touched to the quick by the lack of educational op- gortunny among the youth of the Blue idge, opened a school for five moun- tain boys in a rude log foot of & red hill on her father's farm. Today the Berry schools have ap- proximately 1,000 ~students and 100 teachers and workers, and their founder, Miss Martha Berry, has won interna- tional acclaim as one of the bullders of the new South. She has been given praise by practicaily every great philan- thropist of America. ~She also was awarded the Roosevelt medal in 1925 for conspicuous service in the field of Emtlcll education, and the Pictorial eview $5,000 prize in 1927. Run Year Around. The Berry schools are in the begin- ning of their Winter and Spring term at the time of this anniversary of the founding. They run 365 days in the year, with only one day’s freedom from classes even at Christmas. While most students were observing the Yule holi- days, Berry students were preparing for final examinations on the Fall term that ended December 24. Examinations started December 26 and concluded De- cember 31. The present term started at 7 am. on January 1. ‘The reason for the continuous class- es is the fact that the schools are only for boys and girls who cannot attend more expensive institutions. It would cost money to go home for Christmas, and they haven't the money. Some do not even have a home to which to go. Every student is required to work two full days of each week in connection with the course being studied. Despite the work, the students complete a cus- tomary nine months’ course in eight months. May, June, July and August comprise vacation, during which the students earn the money for their edu- cation by employment in the 31 oc- cupations carried on at the large school arm. Attendance Increases. ‘The schools offer educational oppor- tunity to boys and girls throughout the rural and mountain districts of North Georgla, Tennessee, Alabama and the western sections of the Carolinas. More and more youths each year from these mountain " families. noted as being among the purest of Anglo-Saxon stock on the continent, apply for ad- mittance to the schools.

The schools consist of the Mount Berry High School for hoys and the Martha Berry High School for girls, both of which are on the accredited list of the Southern Assoclation of Col- leges and Secondary Schools, and the Berry College, which was just recently made an accredited institution by the Southern Association of Colleges. The college 1s only three years old. HUGHES TO BROADCAST. Will Speak on Permanent Court of International Relations.

Once it was irnmodest even to mention Iynching in the South. No evil thing can flourish in the light, and the press has thrown the spotlight on the mob. “No longer is the lyncher & hero. For one thing, the various women's or- ganizations are after him. Women in every State in the South have denounced the old defense of lynching—that it was necessary to protect Southern womanhood. That is not :the ‘kind of chivalry they want, they decided.” CHAMPION COWBOY NAMED Earl Thode of South Dakota Wins Rodeo Contest. SAN FRANCISCO, January 11 (P).— | Earl Thode of Belvedere, S.
