C., March 1 — “Bognor, England, where the king of England has gone to recuperate, has been a health and pleasure resort for more than a century,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of | the National Geographic society. The town is gpread out along the shores of the English channel about €5 miles southwest of Londen with which it is connected by fine roads and railroad service. Thronged With Vacationists Bagnor normally has about 13,000 ! inhabitants, but the population is augmented in the summer by vaca- tionists ar 1 week-enders who ket‘p‘ its hotels filled to capacity and its Farad (b "rdwalk) surging with a throng of pleasure seekers. The town offers recreational fea- tures for all classes of visitors. There are shaded promecnad a broad, sandy bemch, golf courses, cricket grounds, & bowling green, tennis and croquet courts. Motor boats are available for cruising and deep sca fishing, and automobiles for motor- ing over fine roads which lead to| many quaint southern England vil-| lages. “The town covers a small area but its banks, stores and markets thrive on business from neighboring hainlets and large estat Craig- well House, where the King is a guest, is one of the many fine cstates within a mile or two of the Bognor Beach, with which it is connected by a good road. London Hatter's Dream “Bognor owes its standing among English Channel resorts to Sir Rich- ard Hotham, a London hatter.. He visioned a watering place that would | rival Bath. Bognor was only a ham- let with a few farm houses and fisgermen’s huts in 1878 when he tore down a farm house and huilt a palatial residence, Lodge, on the site. *“Royal favor for Bognor was lack- ing so he erected Dome House the the Bognor hope of attracting King George LI to the resort. Failing in this he later entertained Princess Charlotte, | whose stamp of approval English aristocracy to the shores, “The death of Sir Richagd, brought in 1794, wus a blow to Bogner® and it! 1apidly disintegrated, but in 1822 Parliament passed an act establis ing a Board of Improvement Com- | missioncrs. New roads were built, old ones were repaired and wit other general improvements in th town. Bognor again took its place #mong the Channel resorts, “Health the city have becn snccessfully op- crated, The mild, invigorating cli- inate of Bognor s considered bene- ficial to sufferers from throat and lung infections. The warm breezes rom the Channel are tempered with the cool northern blasta which do not reach the town in full force be- cause of the hills at its back door. Bognor has become such & popular year-round place of residence for London business men that kpecial fraing are run between the resort and the capl CHAS.

The gavel punctuated his initial address to the Senate March 4, 1925, in which he ripped to shreds the august pro- cedure of that body and hung the remnants up so that all might see. This was regarded by many as the fiirst act that would lead him to a presidential nomination. | He continued to carry on a cam- paign against senate rules, in which he asserted the public weal was at stake, after the paralyzing first ! speech, but he did not retain the place in the national eye that had been his for a decade. There were many regarded him as a rong potential |dark horse for the republican nomi- | nation at Kansas City up to the eve of the convention, ough he had asserted with characteristic em- | phasis that he was not.
