PRINCESS VISITS FRIENDS SCHOOL Japanese Honeymooners Re- sume Official Tour After Day of Rest. Prince and Princess Takamatsu of Japan visited the State Department to- | day upon resumption of their sight- seeing after yesterday's rest. After extending their official courte- sles at the department the imperial couple were guests of Ambassador Debuchi of Japan at an informal luncheon. They were to resume their motor tour of the Capital this after- noon. Undersecretary of State and Mrs. Castle will entertain the couple at a formal dinner tonight, the last func- tion to be attended by the prince and princess in Washington. They will leave the Capital tomorrow morning for Philadelphia, having spent six days here. Visits Friends School. ‘The princess also visited Sidwell's Friends School, where Princess Chi- chibu was graduated three years ago. Princess Chichibu, who, as the wife of | the Japanese Emperor's next younger brether, has become the “Empress ap- | parent” of that nation, attended Sid- well’s School while her father, Ambas- sador Matsudaira, was on duty here and she is popularly remembered as Setsu Matsudaira. Her younger sister, Masa, who also attended the school, was obliged to leave before her gradu- ation when her father was transferred to his present post as Ambassador to Great Britain. Princess Takamatsu today asked to be shown the lecture rooms in which her sister-in-law studied. She wanted to see, too, the little Friends’ Meeting House in which Setsu received her diploma in June, 1928. While the diminutive imperial visitor passed only 20 minutes at Sidwell's, she paused to examine the prominently displayed photographs of Setsu. She saw Setsu in her white graduation dress with other members of the 1928 class; in her knickered gymnasium costume, and holding & silver trophy won through tennis prowess. Princess Takamatsu also viewed the silver vase which Princess Chichibu and her imperial husband sent Sidwell's School after their marriage. Guest of Mr. Sidwell. Princess Takamatsu was the guest today of Mr. Sidwell, who escorted her through the building. ‘Yesterday was the only day of com- plete rest which the imperial honey- mooners enjoyed while in the Capital. Despite the delightful Spring weather, the prince and princess passed the day reading and writing in their suite at the Mayfiower Hotel. In the evening, the couple dined in- formally with the Japanese naval at- tache at Alban Towers It was revealed yesterday that while in America, Prince Takamatsu is doing as the Americans are supposed to do. He is declining all alcoholic beverages and is not carrying with him any liquors, although he is at liberty to do 80 under diplomatic immunity.

We are thankful and it i contemplation of these two universes, natural end supernatural, that we im- part to you and your noble works our spostolic blessings.” Others who spoke included Father Gianfranceschi, director of the station, who discussed the action of radio) waves of the Vatican's station; Prof. Anile, who told of the origin of lan- guages, and Prof. Navas, who lectured on Oriental insects. | FOREST FIRE SUBDUED | AFTER THREE MEN DIE| By the Associated Press 1 NEW YORK.
