Cc—4 PRICESSMOIVAN REVEALS CHARTE Gives ' $50,000 a Year in America, She Says, Re- senting Criticism. * By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 15.—Princess Bar- bara Hutton Mdivani disclosed today that her personal philanthropies total $50,000 a year, every cent of which goes to charities in the United States. Furthermore, she served notice with 8 toss of her auburn locks that al- though she has been “giving to char- ities anonymously for years,” here- after she will let the world know about her donations. Criticism Resented. She had been criticized, she said, for failure to donate to one charity, when, as a matter of fact, she had been making large contributions to it annually. “I am going to give everything in my own name. I have got to do it for my own protection.” The princess said that during her travels in recent years she had been “simply mobbed” by foreign organi- zations seeking charitable donations. Giving Only in America. “They won't get & penny from me,” she added. “I believe in taking care of my own people. Every cent I give to charity will be given in America.” She laughed merrily over the title “America’s newest poetess,” given her by the London press in recognition of the recent publication of some verses she wrote as the lyrics for some Songs. “I am not writing except for pri- vate publication,” she explained. “Those few lyrics I wrote for songs in New York, which were so publicized, were changed so much they weren't mine any more.” 'YOUTH SAFEGUARDS ASKED BY CITIZENS West End Association Seeks Play- grounds, Athletics and Dramatic Classes.

GERMAN TO RECOVER WATCH LOST IN WAR Timepiece Brought Back to U. S. By First Sergt. J. W. Robson, Obtained at St. Mihiel. After ticking its way around the world for 17 years, Franz Ackfel’s watch is going back to keep the time on the Rhine—from whence it came. The watch, a ponderous silver affair with a lid that lifts off and big key with which to wind it, was given to First Sergt. John W. Robson of Com- pany F, 23d Infantry, right after the St. Mihiel drive by a private. It seems that Herr Ackfel had heen taken prisoner and the watch, somehow, got transferred. Now, Earl J. Stout, field director of the American Red Cross, working with the German Red Cross, has ar- ranged to have the watch returned to Franz, who, temporarily at least, resides in a lighthouse in the Baltic between the islands of Usedom and Wollin, If Constipated Take This Tip Here’s one of the friendliest tips one can give another—haw to really relieve Constipation.
