The amount of swelling, if it exists, is very small at most, only a few inches, perhaps 1 or 12, and this would be unobservable, because everything, sea and land, w move in the same way."

Germany Prospers Belin to Build "Palace of Youth" As $1,000,000 Welfare Center Berlin--Plans for the construction of Berlin's "Palace of Youth" have been approved calling for expengdl- tures totalling $1,000,000. It is designed to serve as a social welfare center where organiations connected with the German Youth Movement will have their headquar- ters. The former kalser's Bellevue Palace was considered at one time, but proved too small. Great building projects are afoot in other parts of the capital. These include a new Department of Justice building costing $2,500,000 and the largest covered swimming pool in the world.

Eng- lish, at the University ot' British Co» lumbla. Dr. Walker receives $46 seml-annw ally from the British government. He spefds most of it in purchasing old books. An influential cousin at court secured revival of the pension after it had been stopped for a short time. It is from an ancestor who hid Charles in an oak tree on a dark night in 1651 that Dr. Walker inherits his pension. She was Mrs. Elizabeth Pendrell Yates, who before her mar- riage, lived with her five brothegs on the Pendrell property, "Boscovel" near Midlands. Saved From Roundheads Charles was fleeing from 2a Round- heads, trying to make ils way to France and safety. Some years before his father had been beheaded. He himself had been carrying on an in- termittent warfare agalnst Cromwell and had just been defeated at the Battle of Worcester, While the Roundheads scoured the. country for him, Charles crept to the Pendrell house. He saw Elizabeth and told her he must be hidden. She had never seen the King before. But herd he was before her, appealing for help. She did not believe her eyes. She called her five brothers, and they conferred. At first they thought Charles might be hidden in some dark nook in the old house. But the Round- heads would be certain to look there first. In thelr garden flourished an old oak tree, with a heavy trunk and thick branches. Charles must climb the tree and sit among the follage. He would be safe there. The Round- heads would never think of such & hiding place. King Crouched ih Tree For a whole day Charles sat cramp- ed on a branch of the tree while the dally.
