Another result of the casino's blander was that the authorities the requested all whom it concerned to

use more discretion in the future.

"OLD STEVE," the man who introduced jam for ten unong the young soldiers of the Army, died in King Edward VII. Hospital, Windsor, last month, after a two-day illness. He was seventy-three years old.

One hotel man told United Press: "This is somewhat of a blow to us, but it would be a far worse calamity if the royalties would withdraw their patronage from the Riviera. The presence here of the Kings of Denmark and Sweden alone means a revenue of millions of francs for the short sveoks they are on the Riviera- sums mostly spent on parties given by or for them, for dresses and by the mass of people who come here because they like to follow in the footsteps of royalty."
