LONDON, October 22 (#).—Prince George, youngest son of the British rulers, said in an address at the Navy League dinner last night he thought it would be a long time before light cruisers and other small naval craft could be dispensed with, because they shoulder most of the monotonous but important job of police and ambulance work in peace time. Prince George, who was toasting the “glorious and immortal memory of Lord Nelson” on the anniversary of the bat- tle of Trafalgar, added that the navy is like the multiplication table, “indis- ble to business, but not lending itself to after-dinner oratory.” As Autos Crash in Front of Hospital Two machines crashed dlrecu{ in front of Emergency Hospital yesterday morning. ‘The lone casualty, Mrs. Eliza- beth Sibley, 58 years old, of New Jersey, was removed to the emer- géncy room and treated for lacerations of the hip and dis- missed.

FAIRFAX, Va. October 22.—Fairfax County’s Red Cross roll call this year will start officially tomorrow instead of November 11. The change was de- cided on by the County Executives Committee to meet a situation peculiar to suburban Washington. A large pro- portion of Fairfax County citizens are employed in Washington business offices and Government departments, where systematic drives are made each year for 100 per cent Red Cross enrollment. As 50 cents of each Red Cross dollar is kept by the local chapter for local relief calls the Fairfax County Chapter each year, it is sald, loses large sums. E. C. Gibbs of Mount Vernon, chair- man of last year's campaign, has been unanimously “elected chairman of this ROACH DEATH CRACK-SHOT KEN OIL BURNERS The Most Modern Sold Today Efficient—Economical—Quiet—Durable INVESTIGATE THE TIMKEN BEFORE YOU BUY CONVINCE YOURSELF OF THE MANY ADVANTAGES OF TIMKEN OVER ALL OTHER BURNERS Moderately Priced—Convenient Terms Timken is Manufactured by the Largest Company in the Industry Oil Burner Corporation of Washington, D.
