The success of Trudeau Sanatorium

State Legislature of Massachusetts to
build a state sanatorium to care for
its tuberculosis patients. The Massa

was in turn the spur to other states
so that today there are 65 such sana

For Some Time
L CANNES, France — (#) — Mrs,

King Edward renounced his thronel

she expects to obtain her final di

The American-born fiancee or

Mrs., Simpson has ‘no arrange

Edward to Depart |
He declared the “understanding
at the villa (where Mrs. Simpson
is in seclusion) is that HEdward

The meeting of the abdicating

not inclined to discuss it until Mrs,
Simpson’s divorce becomes abso

When the couple do meet for the
first time since their attachment
became publicly an empire issue,
it probably will be at some place
remote from crowds such as have
surrounded the villa here.

LONDON — The future Duke of

of the House of Windsor—on May
31, 1916, got what was proba.ggl
destined to be the biggest thrill
of all 'his life. He was a young
serving officer on a war vessel in
the thick of one of the greatest
and fiercest of all the naval en
gagements ever fought—the Battle
of Jutland.

basing it upon the fact that their
