The Queen ladled out boil ed rice with her own doyal hands and the Princess collected the food tickets and speared them on the files until over 2,000 meals had been served. London’s great extremes of riches and squalor were never shown in more decisive contrast. The little vicar of the neighborhood church bent himself almost double and his face was red as the Mayor’s scarlet robe when Queen Mary shook his hand and “how do you do?” His little son of three years, al Idiked out in starchy Sunday-school clothes, wriggl er with childish diffidence at the touch of the Queen’s hand on his baby cheek. “The Queen,” said the Vicar after ward, “The Queen; she shook hands with me and she gave my little boy a pat on the cheek. The Queen asked me ‘is this your little son?’ The Queen did that.” After the movie man finished “shoot ing” the royal mother and her daugh ter the neighborhood began to Alj past the food counter. Soup-bowls, pitchers, platters, plates, saucers and buckets, some washed as they had never been washed before, others with their natural democratic coat of grease were shoved into the white-gHoved hands of the elegant lady in grey. The lady would smile and ask: “What do you want? Rice? Roast Beef?” The' Queen did that. These unwashed, f brown-toothed, yellow-complexioned j natives of the neighborhood were going to eat food served by the Queen her-! self. Some were so overcome by the, event that they tilted their plates and spattered the floor with rice pudding. Said Queen Mary to one dark-haired young woman, “Are these your chil dren?” “They are, mum," the girl re plied, “They are; all seven of ’em. Thank you mum.” She straightened the little brood into single file and inarched out at the head of her own procession, carrying plates of boiled rice, gelatine pudding and roast beef. Princess Mary, without looking at the reference books, is about nineteen. She would be rated a pippin at any junior prom in any American school. A high-school senior would notice that she has pretty blue eyes and the kind of a mouth that was made for nut-sun daes at the corner drug-store on these hot summer evenings. Standing al ways close by her mother’s side, she seemed slightly “fussed” during the ceremonial presentations. Her hands shifted somewhat nervously, while her pink cheeks flushed .a deeper pink. At the doorway of the food kitchen stood ■> London Bobby, straight and soldier ly. His job was to regulate the flow of customers. An inquisitive fox-ter rier, dirty in harmony with the neigh borhood and sniffing hopefully the scent of roast beef, was -shooed away by the cop. Undaunted, the pup hid among the next batch of customers and sneaked in to have a look at the Queen. And he was such a nervy, persistent little cuss that the titled ladies clust ered her Majesty allowed him to stay. “Good bye,” said the Queen to various people when the neighborhood had been fed. Even a Queen can't be expected to distinguish in a crowd between those who had been presented to her and ! those who haven’t. So Queen Mary nodded and said “good-bye” to an ord irary American reporter. It “fussed” him a little, but he mustered his party manners and got off a “good-bye” of his own. Princess Mary didn’t make the same mistake. Pale Children Made over to your liking, with rosy cheeks, hearty ap petite*, vigorous digestion and ro bust health.

C„ June 15.—1 n a war geography bulletin the National Geographic Society gives the following information about the fortified city of Kronstadt where rebel Russians at tempted to set up a separate govern ment: "The Malta of the Baltic” is the name given to Kronstadt and the small teland of Kotlin which it occupies, but a more appropriate name would be “the Gibralter 08 Petrograd,” for the sup posedly impregnable fortress com mands the sea avenue to the great Russian capital. “The island of Kotlin, which is a lit tle more than seven miles long and a mile and a quarter wide, lies at the western extremity of the Bay of Neva, in the fresh water discharged by the River Neva. To the west is the Gulf of Finland. “Kotlin was first fortified in 1703 by Peter the Great, when it was wrestled from the Swedes, but it was not until seven years later that the great mon arch laid out the town of Kronstadt and be Jan the systematic erection of its defenses. Three thousand men are said to have been employed on this work, and it was not completed until the reign of Peter’s daughter Eliza beth. “The town, which had a population of 65,000 at the beginning of the world war is intersected by two waterways— the Canal cf Peter the Great, begun in 1721 but not completed until 31 years later, and the Catherine. Canal, con structed in 1782. Between these two canals stands the Italian palace of Prince Menschikoff, one of the most picturesque figures in all Rissian his tory. Born of the most humble par ents, Menschikoff at the age of 20 was selling meat pies in the streets of Mos cow when he attracted the attention of Lefort, Peter the Great's favorite. On the death of the latter Menschikofl succeeded to the of honor with his soverign and served him enwget ically. It is said of Menschikoff that he could “drill a regiment, build a frigate, administer a province and de capitate a rebel with equal facility.” Upon the death of Peter he became the virtual ruler of Russia during the brief reign of Peter’s widow, Catherine I. A turn of the wheel of fortune finally cast him from his high estate —his great wealth, largely acquired through corruption, was confiscated, and he and his family were exiled to Siberia where he died in 1729. “The modern fortifications of Kron stadt were designed in large measure by General Todleben, the famous in gineer whose system of earthworks en - abled Sebastopol to resist the siege of the French and English allies for 349 days during the Crimean war. Todle ben devoted 15 years to Kronstadt’s de fense, profiting Wy his wide experi ence at Sebastopol. The fortifications are in the main low, thickly armoured earthworks with large Krupp guns. There are three well-equipped harbors —the naval, middle and commercial. “Guarding the approach to Perograd, which is 19 miles to the east, Kron stadt is also the chief station of Rus sia's Baltic fleet. “While the city has some trade in iron, hemp, flax, tar, and oil it is hand icapped to some extent commercially by the fact that the harbors are ice bound from December to April. During these winter months the place is de cidedly dreary in appearance. “Peterhof, a town of 16,000 inhabit ants founded by Peter the Great in 1711 and famous for its imperial palace, built in imitation of Versailles, lies to the southeast of Kronstadt a distance of ten miles. "During the summer season in peace times passenger steamers ply between Kronstadt and ePtrograd with ferry boat frequency, the trip requiring an hcur and a half.’” QUIT HIS JOB AS STREET ( AR CONDUCTOR TO GO TO W AR LONDON, June 15.—Tom Phillips, of Wichita. Kansas, quit his job as a street car conductor to go to war. He bummed his way to England with Tom La Roche, of Oakland. California. They landed in August 1915, and joined the Welsh Guards. “Tom was killed at Ypres in July, 1916,” said Phillips. “I've been pretty lucky—wounded twice but nothing ser ious. First I got slammed on the head with a pal’s rifle butt during bayonet fighting with Fritz. It was so close wc couldn’t always be sure who was getting hit. But the real blighty wounds came last September on the Somme. A machine-gum bullet went through my left wrist and another through my leg. and then they ope rat- < ed on my head, and,— they’re still at it." | Can I Afford Not to S Buy a ® Liberty Loan Bond? ffi S Ask yourself this ques- S tion: Can 1 afford not K !fi todo my part in show- S g ing our government, nj if, our army, our navy, yj tfi and our Allies that HR every person in the ifj United States is solidly S supporting them.
