THE KING AND DUKE OF WINDSOR

Summons To England Likely This Summer

By a Diplomatic Correspondent UNDERSTAND that the King

is likely to summon his brother, the Duke of Windsor, to return to the realm before the end of August.

This is mainly due to the position which exists at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Since his abdication the Duke, who is a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, has had no stall' allotted to him in the chapel.

The Prince of Wales's stall has been vacant since Edward VIIL succeeded to the throne.

Ordinarily the Duke of Gloucester would move into that stall while the Duke of Kent would take the stall of his brother. The Duke of Connaught and Prince Arthur of Connaught would come next in order, none of these having renounced his claim of pos- sible succession to the Throne. The Duke of Windsor, who renounced his claim, would. nor- mally follow.

The changes would necessi- late the presence of the Duke of Windsor, the making of a new banner and the prepara- tion of new armorial bearings. Garter banners are usually prepared by the Royal School of Needlework, who, if the decision

Is adhered to, will have to pre pare the banner by August,

Steel Ingot

A new form of, "electric eye," which it is hoped will reduce wastage in steel-works, is now receiving its first industrial trial. The duty of the "eye" is to make an exact measurement of the tem- All of these natural dyes, Pro-perature of each Ingot during the odd

FALLIBLE HUMAN EYE

Hitherto this essential Judgment has had to be made by eye, and ex- perience has shown that even the best of operators may make mistakes: No form of distant thermometer has been available which would work at high enough speed.

Now an "eye" has been produced which it is believed will measure the redness of the steel with all the ac- curacy, and speed required. It con- sists of a photo-electric cell; used in conjunction with a special form of recording Instrument.

American Socialites At Court Of St. James

London. Feb. 28.

King Edward's abdication

and subsequent criticism of the American colony in London by high churchmen for their influence on his personal life have in no way dimmed the ambitions of United States socialities to be presented at court.

Contrarily, an inquiry by the United Press disclosed a sudden increase in the number of American women seeking to bow before-George-VI-in-comparison- with those Edward received a year ago.

The distinction of the present

coronation year is believed to be responsible.

Only three court receptions have been announced for this year-May 5. May and July 1. It is not yet known, how many applications will be granted. Many are sure to be disappointed since there are always more applications than can be grant-

ed.

Thirty-two American women were presented in 1936-eight at much of the courts.

It is believed that George VI will follow his father's example regard- ing dress regulations. It is certain

that he will retain the old ban ageinst udmitting divorcees..

Queen Mary surely will play an influencing the Important part in

conservative views, similar to those of her mother-in-law.

In addition to the formal courts, the King will have several banqueis. levees and garden parties as well as a race meeting.

The King held the frat levee at Saint James palace February D. Then came two investitures at Buck- ingham palace February 24 and 25 when the King greeted those from the country and Empire receiving special honours.
