CONGRESS 10 AGT S00N ONBOND PLAN| Benator Byrnes, Intimate of President-elect, Advanc- 'ing Legislation. B the Associated Press. The Roosevelt plan—sponsored in the Benate by Senator Byrnes of South Car- plina—to meet huge permanent im- rovement costs by long-term bond &suu is due for early attention in Con- ess. As a member of the important Appro- priations Committee, Senator ~Byrnes, an intimate of President-elect Roose- velt, is advancing the legislation and hopes for a decision before the session ends. This legislation is regarded as one of the key steps in the program of the in- “coming Democratic admimistration to! balance the Treasury books. It would transfer from the taxpayers of today the huge burden of financing permanent improvements. New Credit Hoped For. By meeting these expenditures through Jong-term bond issues it is the belief of Democratic leaders that much of the short-term Government paper now in financial channels would be disposed of and the way opened for new credit to industry. p Secretary Mills has withheld final opinion on the proposal, but those who have questioned him gained the impres- ; sion he did not regard it favorably. | With his long service in the House | and in the Senate on the Appropria- tions Committees, Byrnes is being relied on by Gov. Roosevelt to map out and | put into effect his fiscal program. ! Byrnes also is a member of the Sen- | ate’s special Economy Committee, which deals with another subject destined to receive close attention from Mr. Roose- | welt. Close to Governor. H The South Carolinian traveled with fhe Governor during part of his suc- fessful campaign trip and has been in | lose communication with him and his visers since the election. The bill he is sponsoring would set up a fund of $500,000,000 in the Treas- wury, to be provided by bonds, to meet payments of permanent improvements from time to time. Permanent im- provements are listed as construction of highways, maintenance of rivers and harbors works, construction of public buildings, end improvements of dams | and reservoirs. LOUISVILLE U.

Simplicity of Soverign’s Life Has Kept Him Fit, Envoy Explains. Although he is the oldest King in Europe, Gustavus V, the democratic/ ruler of Sweden, who on Thursday last | observed the twenty-fifth anniversary | of his accession to the throne, per-| forms his duties with the vigor of & young man. He will be 75 on June 16 next, but he has extraordinary. vitality | and exceptional vigor of mind and body. | The simplicity of his life has kept him youthful. These are the views of a resident of Washington who for six years served | as_secretary to King Gustavus. | Wollmar™ Fillp Bostrom, Minister of Sweden to the United States since 1926, | yesterday told of his acquaintance with his sovereign. “His majesty,” he said, “is a hard- working man.

To more conveniently and better serve our patrons in this neigh- borhood, we are closing our store at 4237 Wisconsin Avenue and opening this new larger and finer store just a few doors south on the corner of Van Ness Street.

This entire store is beautifully decorated in Wil s STAR, dignified. He is the most tactful per- son I ever have wn. His whole nature is conciliatory. -In 1905 Norway separated from Sweden and Haakon VII became King of Norway. There was a certain feeling in Sweden against the Norwegians at that time. But King Gustavus, with the World War raging, and neutrality of the Scandinavian countries threatened, and the people suffering because of dislocation of trade, seized the opportunity to show friend- ship to King Haakon. He went to Christiana, put out his hand in kindly fellowship, and the Norwegian nation, sovereign and people, grasped it in the spirit in which it was offered. “King Gustavus will be remembered always for keeping Sweden at peace in the time when practically all the rest of | Europe was at war. His success showed his statesmanship, his constructive di- plomacy. He has been a good servant to the plain people of the world at large. I believe that he is much appre- ciated in the United States, and 1 am glad of that. An Early Riser. “He is an early riser. He has break- fast at about 8:30 am. He then in-| formally receives his ministers and any other officials with who he has business. The council meets one day each week | ordinarily, more often, of course, when necessary. And on one day each week the King receives any person who de- sires to see him. He is extremely ap- proachable, and puts every one at ease. “Of course, he has a large correspond- | ence and much study to occupy the later hours of the afternoon. Occasionally he | goes for a short automobile ride. It is impracticable for him to go about much on foot, because, you see, he would have greet him, he would be constantly bow- ing. “He has not much leisure, but some- PIGGLY WIGGLY pens Tomorrow SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17th CORNER OF VAN NESS STREET a white and green color scheme.

Choose Your Food as You Go: Choose as you go down wide aisles stocked on either side with food you know and want. Many meals have been improved by the addition of one or more items that were served only because the shopper hap- pened to rest her gaze upon a particular tin, package or jar, and the thought flashed through her mind that this would add so much to a certain meal. So Easy Not to Forget: How many times have you returned home and found you had overlooked one or more items? That is hardly possible when you see foods of all varieties so placed that you see every item, and unconsciously your brain asks the question—Do I need this item or would this item improve my menu? Price Tags Guide Your Purchases: Each display is plainly priced that you may see just what you are paying for each item. Often you will be pleased to find that you can effect a real saving by choosing the less expensive of two items upon which you were undecided. No Hurry and No Delay: You are the sole judge of how fast or how slow you do your selecting. You may leisurely stroll down the aisles, picking and choosing as you go, or you may hurriedly rush through—then a brief pause at the checker’s counter, where your purchases are machine added, and the slip inserted in your package as proof against error.

Not long ago he played with Mrs. Helen Wills Moody. “The King is very fond of good litera- ture of all kinds, but he prefers memoirs, history and works of political science.” King Gustavus was born at Dottning- holm, the son of King Oscar II anc Queen Sophia Wilhelmina. He was edu- cated at Upsala University, made & tour of Europe, and, in 1875, joined the army. By 1892 he had risen to the rank of lieutenant general. He married, in 1881, the daughter of Friedrich Wilhelm, grand duke of Baden, and Princess Louise of Prussia. There are two sons, Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf and Prince Wilhelm, both of whom have visited | Washington. Mr, Bostrom has been in the diplo- matic service of his country since 1905.; He was counselor at London, 1914-1918, and Minister to Spain, 19231925. His devotion to his sovereign is manifested in the many portraits of the King which he has in his library and drawing rooms at the legation. EX-YALE STAR ENDS LIFE Morris U.
