Next day at a reception the Prince saw the same man and, pushing his way through the crowd, seized him by the hand and exclaimed," Huiloa, dad!"

The Prince in London had been “hung' up" in his car, while dashing from one public meeting to another. A man, not recognizing the cecupant of the car, and- "One of the ged his mate, remarking, idle rich"

"Rich, perhaps," the Prince retorted; but, hang it all, not idle!"

A rather inquisitive maŋ once asked him if he was not worried over the res ponsibilities involved in being the King's eldest son.

During his visit to America the Prince I was at the White House. The President took the Royal guest over to one of the windows.

When Balkis, Queen of Sheba, weat out of the South Lands with camel cara- vans loaded high with precious gifts for King Solomon she left the world few meagre facts and many pleat fangies, the intest of which is an American film, Sir E, A. Wallis Budge has trenglated the Ethiopian text of the “Kebra Nagast,"

," and now for the first time we can read in English all that men have been saying about Sheha and Solomon for thousands of years. The Queen of Sheba and her Only Son, Menyelek (the Medici-Scenty, Ltd., 30.), is rich storehouse of fact and fancy which the charming ingenuity of The Thousand and Out Nights" 19 blended with

Captain Imber, while serving in the Canadian Infantry, thought of encasing a petrol tank with a thiak layer of rubber supported by an outer covering of metal. Though expert opinion was against the idea, Capt. Imber had made up his mind that the solution of the problem that would have countlet valuable lives lay in the development of the rubber interlined,, or self-sealing tank.
