Hopes are high that it may be located and. salvaged when a from the Wash under a reclama- tion scheme is put into effect. Legend says that the king's two-mile baggage train included priceless jewels and his regalia. Men have spent fortunes in romantic attempts to recover the treasure. ; Fenland farmers tell of fre- quent treasure hunts=ever some which have been reclaimed since the middle of the nineteenth century, 2 Would-be discoverers of the thirteenth-century regalia in- clude an American millionaire who many years ago spent a large sum on a fruitless plan. Another treasure hunter: used an electric divinator which, it was claimed, would detect metals and precious stones at a great depth. : ; Each time the hunt is on Fen- people speculate about the treasure which might be found around their homesteads. But always the hunters have gone away emply-handed, Now this 'new scheme: of re- clamation has stimulated fresh interest. large-scale plan cannot include the treasure spot. Most of the treasure was probably being carried, when it sank, in a very big cart in the middle of a column of vehicles-- all of which were- lost when huge breakers poured over the royal train.

Queen Mary has also linked these countries, and the wonderful gros point carpet which became known to us all as Queen Mary's Carpet is a symbol of that achievement. . She originally intended it as a gift for another member of the royal family. But when, after the war, Britain's economic plight became desperate, she made up her mind to present the carpet to the nation for sale as a royal "dollar export" The money would help to buy new machines for Britain's factories from North America, dnd she hoped to set an éxample for her - people by stressing the sacrifices we all must make to ensure the success of the drive for dollars. In 1948, six exquisite * chair seat covers which she had made and given to a nursing organiza- tion were sold in the United States for $10,000; they are kept now among the art treasures of "the Metropolitan Museum in" New York City. Queen Mary started work on the carpet in the 'early days. of the war when the German bombers were droning over her country. She chosé¢ the hundred pastel colours with special care-- the soft beiges, the delicate grays, the blues, turquoises, mauves and ambers for every individual flower and leaf, bird and blossom in the design. In my memory I can sée her sitting by the tall windows of Marlborough. House, sewing bag at hand, pursuing the intricate tracery of patterns, as soon as breakfast, . let ter "writing and Palace business "was completed. She was following a long tra- dition where British Queens are concerned, starting with Mar- garet, Anglo-Saxon Queen of Scotland in the. tenth century, down through. the centuries to Queen Victoria. In some ancient English palaces and manor- houses, one can still inspect the work of Catherine of Aragon and her daughter, Mary 1. , . . Our Queen Mary worked as they must have done. The rows wools, four - hundred and eighty different' kinds by the time the carpet was finished. were ranged in parade-ground order beside her chair. Seated straight-backed and serene, she would choose the color she want- ed, snip off a length of 'it with her silver-gilt scissors kept ia a worn leather case, swiftly thiead a needle without the aid of" spectacles, and make another stitch, . She worked regularly until lunch and then again. in the late evening, six to seven hours a day. Slowly but surely the tapestry grew, four stitches a minute in her ceaseless skill. The first of the twelve panels was completed in May, 1941, and she added the finishing touch of a true artist--her signature "Mary R." and the date. Eight years and one million stitches after she commenced her womanly, queen. ly task, Queen Mary's Carpet was ready to be shipped across the 3,000 miles of ocean i aboard the Cunard liner which proudly bears her name. -- From "Mother and Quéen," by Marion Crawford. HIS SYSTEM A prizefighter and his lady dined at' a large restaurant in the Times Square area. When the waiter presented the check, the prizefighter handed him a five dollar bill and told him to keep the change. The pug then got up and: suddenly gave the waiter a black eye. 3 On the' sidewalk, the fighter lighted a cigar, Then the police arrived. "A fine Waiter, that guy," the pug explained to the sudge. expect to" dine there aghin te- morrow." "It 'he's such a fine waitér," asked the Judge, why di Tou Ip him that black eye?" e pug puffed on his cigar. "I. like that guy for a waiter," he ex- plained.

Marauders are often trapped when they least expect it. On the Danish island of Mors a poul- try thief on the run hid in the hen-house. When he thought the coast was clear, he peered out. A sliding door dropped on to his head: He screamed, and the po- lice came to his rescue. Another criminal who was re- lieved to see the police was the burglar who, in 1936, jammed himself 25 feet down a chimney in Aldgate. He had been there for: thirteen hours, having hoped to pick up a hoard in a fire- place which proved to be brick- ed up. ais : 'Arrests are often made in the oddest circumstances.

Detectives in Cleveland, Ohio, searching for Edward Brown, noticed that one of the beds in his house was sagging. Looking underneath, they found Edward clinging to the springs and clear of the floor.

He fell through the ceiling: into the arms of the police, Perhaps even more astonished was the Indiana woman soaking in her bath.

L] "Hay baling is fine when # is. such a definite shortage of y t An ce shandle on it. %GiING Guandoli REARM Did "you ever see 50. 'much baled hay~in the fields as- there + 'is this year? It just seems that in passing through the country wherever you :look there- are fields and fields of baled hay. But apparently there is a reason for it. According to one farm specialist hay should be baled a little on' the tough side and the bales left out in the field for a day or two for thé hay to cure-- which is just the: opposite 'from what farmers were doing when baling first became popular. Then it was baled as dry as pos- sible and hurried into the barn before it had a chance to get wet. If the hay got well cured it was more by, accident than good , management -- generally through lack of help to get it in. Besides that unless a farmer had his own baler he had to get his hay done whenever the baler could come, This year it is a little' different. There are so many fellows doing custom baling they are on the run to get to each farmer ahead of the other fellow. farm help but it seems a 'crimet there should be such a waste pf: ] good wire and twine afterwards. _. For the first year or two farmers ' gould save the wire and sell it for a cent a pound. Now you can't even glve it away. Some of it can be used for fixing fences and 50 on but the rest is just a waste product that nobody wants. Some machines' operate' with twine, and that is almost as great a problem as the wire. A . certain amount of it can be made "use of but the proportion is very small as each bale contains 12 to 16 feet of twine.
