WORK BRINGS HAPPINESS
TO MANY GERMAN PRINCES
BERLIN. Dec. 5, (AP)—The laat ten years in
Germany has deprived many a prince of his income,
and sent him out to make a living along with the
rest of the world. Not a few of the nobility, par
ticularly among the younger generation, have said
they were happier and more contented with life
generally since they went to work than they were
when they had nothing to do but count their income
and look for thrills in sports, society or military
maneuvers.
What the republic is to do with the property that
once belonged to former Emperor William is still an
open question. He possesses large estates in Bran
denburg, Pommerania, Posnania, Selesia and West
Prussia, end other assets, which have been appraised
at $4u,000,000, all of wrhich he lost when he fled
to Holland in 1018. His income today is relatively
very modest indeed.
The castles, picture galleries and other valuable
collections regarded as the property of the old dy
nasty were taken over by the State. A number of
the princes, however, brought suit to retain their
holdings, and have regained title to some of the
properties confiscated when the republic became a
reality.
It has been estimated that the former King of
Saxony, Friederich August, was a loser to the ex
tent of $6,000,000. The Saxon Diet now gives him
$80,000 a year.
Other rich noblemen who today are living on
greatly reduced incomes are the Grand Duke of
Soxony-Weimar, the King of Wurtemberg, the Grand
Duke of Oldenburg, and the Prince of Schaumberg
SHELTER AT A PRICE FOR
DRUNKARD OP GENTLE BIRTH
LONDON, Dec. 5, (AP)—Two “personals” ap
pearing In the London Times tell their own story.
The first, which reflects the social and economic
changes wrought by the war, follows:
“Peer wants work; under 40; energetic, re
sourceful; horses, motors, literature; served in
Royal Air Force.”
The other shows the die hard spirit, the spirit
that’s out to maintain the old social standards at
all hazards. Here it is:
“There is now a vacancy (first class) for Lad/
Inebriate In home at -. Apply, etc.”
The plain inference of this laconic message ip
that at this particular home there is no welcome foir
a feniale inebrate who s not a lady.
DAUGHTER OF RABBI WELCOMES
10,000 GUESTS TO HER W EDDING
GALATZ, Rumania, Dec, 5, (AP)—One of the
most elaborate weddings in history was given ehre
the other day by a Jewish rabbi for his daughter.
The feast was of Gargantuan proportions. The
guests, from all over Rumania, numbered over
10,000 men, women and children. The food sup
plies consisted of 33 carcasses of beef, 210 sheep
and 170 calves. The geese prepared were so many
taht their feathers made a hill of considerable
height.
Th$ town was virtually occupied by the wedding
party, f which largely represented the wealth of Ru
mania! though not its landowners.
Suspecting some political design, the ministry of
the interior garrisoned the ci^y heavily with police
and froops, but there was no disturbing incident of
FOlat MEN DEFY PACIFIC
IN THIRTY-TWO FOOT BOAT
(TACOMA. Wash., Dec. 13, CAP)—Aboard a thir
ty-ljwo foot boat four men from this city have set
out on a. cruise across the Pacific, with Honolulu
as their destination. The cruise was planned by
Karl Rathfon, an experienced navigator of small
crpft, and his boat is the Idle Hour.
The Idle Hour has a 10-horsepower motor, a
bean of 11 feet and a depth from the deck of six
feet. Rathfon declared she could ride any wave
the Pacific could raise. She sailed with half a ton
of iron filings as ballast, in addition to large sup
plies of fuel oil and provisions. The men have no
ratio, but expect passing vessels to report their
progress occasionally. They plan to cruise down
the coast to San Pedro. California, then across to
the Hawaiian Islands.
