BULGARIA STANDS ALONE INEUROPE Is Without an Ally, Surrounded by Her Former Enemies Bofla, Bulgaria, April 13,—Bulgaria 1s the lonellest country in the world, Surrounded by natfons she fought against in the great war, bereft through Bolshevism of the help and guidance of her natural protector, Russfa, she is without an'ally in a continent of ententes, pacts and alll- ances, She has been striving to win back the friendship of hér next-door neighbors, Jugo Slavia and Rouma- nia, but they have proved luke warm to her advances. ' Soviet Russia has been only too eager to offer the little RBalkan state in its hand of friend- ship and support, but Bulgaria's rul- ers know that to accept it would mean a further estrangement from the allies. For more than three years the country has been directed by Alex- ander Stambulisky, the peasant, ‘'who was released from a convict prison in 1918 to quell an army mutiny and overthrow the Czar Ferdinand. He SULPHUR CLEARS A PIMPLY SKIN Apply Sulphur as Told When Your Skin Breaks Out. Awny breaking out of the skin on face, neck, arms or body is overcome quickest by applying ' Mentho-Sul- phur. The pimples seem to dry right up and go away, declares a noted skin specialist. ‘Nothing has ever been found to take the place of sulphur as a pimple remover. It i{s harmless and inex- pensive. Just ask any druggist for a small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur and use it like cold cream. is Bulgaria's strong man, not only by virtue of his own rugged powerful personality, but also because he leads the Agrarian party, which swamps all others in parllament, Stambu- lisky~told King Ferdinand in 1915 that if he thrust Bulgaria into war with the allles, he would lose his head, The king told Stambulisky that he would lose his own head, and threw him into jail. Bulgaria is a nation of peasants, More than four-fifths of the coun- try's five milllons work on the land, The peasants havéd little sympathy with Bolshevism. They are deter- mined to permit no reactionary move- ments, Of the forces of reaction, there are communists in Sofla and other towns, and there are paid So- viet emissaries all over the land. There still are discontented Bulgars who look upon Ferdinand as their rightful king. In the event of a coup by any of these forces, the people have threatened to set up a dictator- ship of the peasants. Premler Stambulisky stands for a constitutional monarchy, and the present ling, Boris, acts in all ways as a constitutional monarch, in strong contrast with the autocracy of his father, Ferdinand. Borls is the youngest king in Europe, being only 28. Of medlum helght, dark com- plexion, intellectual features, and an alert mind, he resembles an Amer- ican college student. He Is an ac- complished linguist, speaking Bul- garihn, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Russian. He resembles in temperament his Bour- bon mother rather than his German father, Boris Enjoyd Popularity. Boris enjoys great popularity among his peasants. After spending the morning at his desk, he motors out to the country nearly every aft- ernoon and spends some time among them. Informal and casual talks with them are his great hobby. He listens patiently to thkeir complaints and suggestions, and quick to re- dress every grievance. The youthful monarch’'s great pas- time is railroad engineering. In his summer palace at Vranja, near Sofia, is a Decauville narrow-guage rail- road built largely by himself. He is a skilled engine-driver, and has taken a ‘scientific course in mechanics and engineering. His proudest possession is a miniature locomotive presented to him as a youth by Charles R. Crane of Chicago. WEDDING RINGS 14 and 18 CARAT RINGS in all sizes.

TUNNEL 700 NARROW Freight Shipments to Boston Delayed Because New Freight Cars Are Too Wide for Old Tunnel North Adams, Mass, April 13,—All the delays in freight shipments this winter have not been due entirely to blizzards and embargoes.

While the oversize cars are not yet very numerous, there are enough in service to necessitate frequent de- tours. When one is found in a train arriving at the tunnel's western portal it is necessary to cut it out and send it to Bellows Falls, Vt, a detour of 35 miles, and then back to Deerfleld, Mass.

In the center of it stood a couple of juvenile pugilists anxious to start fighting. They put up a good bout which the queen watched with lively interest. Chancing to glance aside she espled a couple of diminu- tive youngsters who with bared chests and clenched fists looked on with a world of envy in their excited eyes. ‘Do You Want To Box?" “Do you want to box?” she asked, beckoning them to her. “Yes'm,” one of them summoned up courage enough to gasp—forgetting all that he had been taught about how he should speak to the queen. “Then you shall box for me,” she when the two bigger boys had finished their exhibition. They fought with grim determination, and at the con- | clusion of their bout stood before the queen hot and panting like young knights awaiting royal commendation. “Bravo!” exclaimed the Queen, “you both fought first rate.” And she clap- The boys were only sorry they could not fight longer, one of them remarking that it was not every day that “boys like us get a chance to fight for the queen.” { NEW CHANGELLOR HAILED BY EDINBURGH STUDENTS Britain Carry] Ragging to Furthcer Extremes College Students in Than Any Others, Cambridge, England, April 13— College students in Britain probably carry the sport of “ragging” to fur- try. The installation of a former prime minister of the kingdom as chancellor of one of its oldest wuni- versities might seeme to be a cere- money that would command the re- spect even of undergraduates. But when David Lloyd George was made chancellor of Edinburgh university a short time ago the whole proceeding was a joyous riot, which the faculty of the institution took as a matter of course, 3 Another former prime minister, Herbert H. Asquith, made a speech here recently, and the students of this ancient seat of learning “framed"” a plot to kidnap him on his way. The plét miscarried, but if Mr. Asquith had been ten times a prime minis- ter the students would not have hesi- tated to drag him off his train. Apparently the scheme was to kid- nap Mr, Asquith on his way from London. He was to have been mo- tored to Royston and there given a dinner.' Referring to this plot in the course of his speech, Mr. Asquith said: “It is only owing to the grace of Providence or the accident of fortune that T am here tonight. There are tales of false brethren who, unknown to and unsuspected by me, appear to have endangered my Jjourney. Through your vigilance and excellent staff work I escaped them, and am able to be here with yon now.” SWISS PORTIAS UPHELD.
