50,000 FAIL T0 SEEK OWN FUNDS U. 5. Has'$30 lor That Many Persons, Uncalled for Washington, Jan. 30 (UP)—Fifty thousand persons in the = United States can have an average of $20 each from the government merely by asking for it. But they don't -ask. They are former employes of the United States who paid from 2% to 3% per cent of their monthly sal- erics into a retirpment fund and then, evidently, forgot it. . The Re- tirement division of the pension bu- reau is trying now to locate them. Nearly all these persons, the bu- reau explained, remained in the gov- ernment service but a short time and then went elsewhere. When they Jeft they either forgot the money thy had paid to the retirement fund or else left it with the government, thinking it would draw intcrest. But it does not. . Last April, the comptroller gen- eral called on all government de- partments to make a list of former cmployes to whom refunds were due. A list of 8,500 of the 50,000 has been compiled to date. Many of these were employes in pavy yards, post offices, or the vet- erans’ burcau. Some of them have only a few cents-due them. Others have $500 or more. Uncle S8am doesn’t want to keep the money, for therc are none of his accounts to which it can be per- manently and legally credited. But he is having trouble in finding its rightful owners. HING BORIS 3 YEARS 0LD TODAY Event Observed With Rejoicing Throughout Bulgaria Kofia, Jan. 30 (P—Bulgaria cele- Drated the 35th anniversary of King Boris today. The event was observ- ed with general rejoicing all the more cnthusiastic because of the be- lief that the royal bachelor will soon take a wife for himself and give his people a quee The young king throne in un hour of tr Octoher 3, me to the dy. Since 1918, Boris has directed the destinies of his country under formidable handicaps. When he as- cended the throne his kingdom had Just lost its third war in the space of six yea Mis father, King Ker- dinand, had left the country under the compulsion of the government and of public opinion—the country that he had ruled for 30 years. At the time of deepest tragedy for Bulgaria, Ferdinand abandoned the supreme power to his son—to Horis, & young man but scantily versed in public affairs, extremely nrodest, plmost timid. The throne to which young Boris mounted! was more like a rocking chair than a seat of regal power. Revolt was rumbling through the country in the wake of the crum- bling of the Germanic powers, In- surgents, returning from the front, were menacing the capital. Already at Kustendil an imposing assembly of discontented soldiers, directed by members of the peasant party, had proclaimed a republic. What would be the fate'of the monarchy ? What authority could the young soverelgn wield? What would become of Bulgaria herself? Uncer- taintics of this kind aroused the anxiety of all, and made the task of King Boris well-nigh terrifying. But Boris stuck to his post. He he- Heved in the future of his people. He had complete faith in the healthy spirit and good sensc of the Bul- garian peasant. During this evil time he establisjed a real kinship with his subjects. % Kind, intelligent and sober. King Roris proved that he was suited to the Bulgarian people, and its rough and honest farmers. Simple and modest, accessible to all, the young man in a few years gained the hearts of his countrymen, won the sym- pathies which the autocracy and absolutism of his father were unable to conciliate in a period of 20 years. But for all these sympathies and the devoted affection which had heen offered him, Boris has had a gloomy reign. No festivities have brightened the gloomy palace of Sofia. No ani- mated court has bustled around the _young sovereign who detests the yomp and display in which old Ferdinand glorled. Boris cared nothing for festivals, receptions and balls. His modest budget of $43,000 did not encourage extravaances. Hi$ anxieties ofs gov~ ernment have been his only occupa- tion. Reading, quict physical exer- cises, and automobile travel have been his sole recreations. Except for his faithful sister, the Princess Eudoxia, who entered thé palace with him, the Prince Cyril, his brother, who visits him now and thea, the palace of King Boris has known nothing of guests. Morcover, the prayer of the Bul- garian people has been to see their Xing happily marricd. The govern- ment has often pressed his majesty with the necessity of establishing a dynasty and assuring the succession to the throne. And Boris, at length, has decided to fulfill this devout national wish. Who will be the future Queen of Bulgaria? Officially, one knows nothing. But one has onc's sus- picions, evén strong expectations, and they look toward the house of Savoy, the Italian royal ouschold. Two years ago, on his first jour- ney abroad Boris met Princess Gio- vanni, dgughter of Victor Emman- wel. The two young persons were pleased with each other. A yecar later Boris called again to sce the young lady. Very soon, according to public conjecture, it scemed that the marriage was decided upon. Today, it is generally belleved that the wedding will be celebrated very soon. The bachelor king of Bulgaria has been tireless in aftentions to the Ttalian princess. The Bulgarian pub- lic confidently expects that the nuptials will be announced oftioial- in February. The marriage will doubtiess take place in connection with the celebration of two great national anniversaries: the §0th of the liberation of Bulgaria, and the 1,000th of the reign of the ancient Bulgarian king, Simeon the Great. The time of these accumulated observances is also regarded as the proper occasion for the official coro- nation of King Boris. This would be the first solemn coronation in Bul- garia since the liberation of the country. In Bulgaria, the expectations of the lonely king's marriage with Gio- vanni are hailed with delight. The public recognizes the importance of such a union with the house of Sa- voy. A queen who should be the daughter of the sovereign of a great power, and a young woman as charming and gracious as Princess Giovanni, is a prospect which has gained the goodwill of Bulgaria at the first onset.

PRINGE AWED BI WOE OF MINERS Wales Risks His Health on Tour of Coal Fields London. Jan. 30.—UPM—Brought face to face with scenes of human sorrow and suffering, such as he had never encountered before, the Prince of Wales sometimes has had difficul- ty nding words to express his sym- pathy in his tour of the northern coal fields, The fact that everywhere it was apparent that the sufferers had gen- erally known better days and that the present distress was due to a loss of work greatly touched the prince, This was illustrated by an incident at Winlaton where he was visiting the cottage of a miner who had been without work for three years. The | prince seemed awestruck by the bareness of the rooms and evi- dences of extreme poverty. “You must find it very difficult to liv he sald to the miner's wife. 8he, de- scribing the visit afterward, said: “He didn’t seem able to say much. He just looked around and his voice sounded broken like.” The Daily Express said today that the prince was risking his health in his tour, since he was suffering from a heavy cold and confessed to carly morning that he “felt like| death.” He was advised to stay in| bed, but insisted on starting on his tour although the snow was thick on the ground and the day was raw and foggy. He had a cheerful word for everybody, the paper said, “although | it must have been an effort for him to muster up his own spirits." At Pelton Lane, Robert Smith, a superannuated miner of 84, smack- | ed’the prince on the back and said, “How are you old man?" The prince readily replied all right, how are you my boy he returned the smack, A Mrs. Capp at Newficld gravely entered into the details of the week- Iy washday and showed the heir to | the throne various intimate garments she had been washing and ironing. Another woman dilated on the vir- tues of her pig. Learning on one strect {hat a Mrs. had just given birth to her y, the prince said he would like to see the infant, which instantly raised his stock one hun- dred per cent with the women who were standing around. After hearing with blushing pride, the prince's hearty assertion that it was a bonny baby. the mother said: “If you'll excuse me.sir, you look 30 young and just like your pictures.” The whole mining district was agog and everywhere the prince went he was followed by crowds, I'm | and | A Ciassified Ad covers the field. in the Herald {1y solved when he made Seventh avenue, be- | 6IRL'S LIFE IS SAVED BY ARTIFICIAL BREATH Kansas Child Inhales Naturally Again After Firemen Work Over Her for 12 Days. Perry, Kan, Jan. 30 (UP)—A blue-eyed little girl, who has been kept alive by artificial respiration, breathed naturally today for the first time in 12 days and for the first time since Margaret Brown, 7. lapsed into a coma two weeks ago, physicians sald there was every hope that she might recover.

" Brothers Are Sought In Bay State Killing Needham, Mass., Jan. $0 (P—Two Lrothers, Joseph and Jerry Belleni, at whose home Peter Tirrazzina, a fellow laborer employed by the town street department, was shot to death last night, were being sought today by police. Tirrazzina, who lived next door to the Belleni brothers, was seen to en- ter their first floor apartment and a few minutes later Mrs. Ruth M. Gross, who lives on the second floor of ‘the house, heard an argument ond then four shots. Tirrazzina staggered to the street where he died before assistance reached him. Police arriving shortly after found the brothers had fled. The slain man made his home with a sister. Mrs. Rose vatta. His widow and six children live in Italy, New York Now Has Adult Play Street New York, Jan. 30 (P —A “play street” for grownups was opened in the congested garment section today. The outpouring each noon of the thousands of workers c¢mployed by the garment hoyscs has long been a police problem, sidewalks and strects between the hours of noon and 1 p. m. becoming virtually impassable. Police Commissioner Whalen part- the problem last weck tween 36th and 38th streets, a onc- way thoroughfare for pedestrians, but found the workers then had no Place to go. As a result he has or- dered that 36th street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, be closed to traffic during the hour. MART FASHIONABLE SALARY COMMITTEE IRE IS AROUSED Health Board Fails to Send Dele- gate to Mesting The board of health was criticized by Councilman W. S. Warner last night for fuiling to sead a represen- tative to the meeting of the walary committee of the coramon council to explain the recommendation for s: ting the salary of the office of milk, meat and food inspector at $4000 per year, “Here are five members of the committee givi“g up an evening to come here and act on this matter,” the councilman said, “and I think someone should be on hand from the health board.” Councilman C. H. Maxon, chairman, said Dr. R. W. Pullen, superintendent of health. had a speaking engagement and Chairman McBriarty was prevented by business from attending. Councilman Warner moved to table the recomn.endation until plains it to the Councilman Parker scconded motion. which was carricd, During the discussion, Councilman Ziegler expressed doubt that one man could attend to the two posi- anl the comumittee bine, and Councilman Warner want. {ed to know how the position of meat inspector, which has for some time been a full time office, could be attended to by a man who would also be obliged 1o attend to the du- ties of milk inspector, part time. These m.ifvis and the fact that a $4000 salary would be ouly $500 less than is paid the superintendent of the department did not set well with the committee. Those present were Councilmen Maxon, Foster, Warner, | Ziegler and Parker.
