Reforms Urged
by King George
ICooUnnul twin Vazt, One
o proposals for a better government
ft that country, -which was outlined at
h end of tho last session of Parlia
tent. A bill to make further pro.
vision for education In. Ireland will also
la submitted.
"Absence of facilities for education
tor a considerable part of the child pop
tilatlon of certain districts makes the
nuestion ono of urgency, but caro will
be taken to make the incasmc comnatl
fcte with the home rule bill.
"Despite, increased agricultural pro
flnction during the war, tho populations
f these islands are still dangerously
dependent upon supplies of food from
overseas, and the financial burden , of
trarchasing such supplies in foreign
markets ngaks tho adverse rato of es
ehance is very great. .
"Uneasiness Is also being caused by
Ae unprecedented sale of landed prop
erty since the war. A -measure will,
accordingly, be proposed to mitigate any
hardship which this operation may
cause those, who occupy the soil and to
tlmulate and develop production of
gsential foodstuffs within the United
Kingdom."
Stricter Regulation of Liquor
TOe king's reference to tho liquor
tegnlation question was:
"Eiperiencer during the war showed
lie clearly injurious effects upon the
national efficiency of the excessive con
romption of strong drink, and the
amelioration, ir both health nnd ef
ficiency, which followed appropriate
taeasurcs of regulation and control. A
bill accordingly will be presented to
you providing for the development of
A suitable system for the peace-time
Insulation of the sale and supply of
alcoholic liquor." , .
"With refcrenco to the mining ques
tion, the king said :
"The imperative and difficult prob
lems which have risen in the coal-mining
industry Bhould bo settled on un en
during basis. You will be asked to
consider a proposal for the acquisition
of coal royalties by the state, for the
Improvement of conditions in the mining
areas and for the future ordering of
the industry."
Among the bills which the king said
trould be introduced were measures for
the after-war organization of the army
nd the navy, for the creation of an
adequate supply of cheap electric and
"water power and a bill dealing with
the reform of the House of Commons.
Pre -War Pageantry ReTived
London witnessed for the first time
Bince 1914 the ancient ceremony of a
state opening of Parliament with all
its traditional pageantry.
King George, Queen Mary nnd the
Prince of Wales, who accompanied the
royal couple for the first time at such
a function, proceeded from Buckingham
Palace to Westminster in state car
riages, escorted by mounted lifeguards.
The royal party was received by
members of the two houses of Par
liament in the House of Lords, where
King George read the speech from the
throne.
The route of the procession through
the Mall and down White Hall for more
than a mile was lined by military in
khaki, the guards rogiments not having
as yet resumed their scarlet uniforms.
' The gilded state coach in which tho
king- and queen rode was drawn by six
black horses with postillioned outriders,
while the five state landaus, which fol
lowed, carried pages of honor, the
king's private secretary, equerries, the
comptroller, treasurer and other mem-

Crown Home in Carriage
Half an hour beforo the procession
passed through tho streets the crown
and sword of state wero borne In tho
royal carriage, surrounded by life
guards from the lord chamberlain's of
fice at St. James's Palace to the House
of Lords. There wero two guards of
honor at Buckingham Palace, and other
guards, with the state colors and a regi
mental band, outside the Parliament
buildings, from tho tower of which the
royal standard was raised wheu the
sovereigns entered.
A largo group of state dignitaries, in
regalia and wearing emblems of their
office, were gathered at the royal en
trance beneath Victoria Tower td re
ceive the king and queen.
As the procession approached the
royal salute of forty-one guns was fired
by a battery of the Royal Horse Ar
tillery, stationed in St. James's Park,
close by. Entering the building, the
king and queen, with their retinue, pro
ceeded up the staircase to the robing
mom, thirty or forty of the nobility
preceding them.
.Macnlflcenco and Color
Immediately in front of the king and
queen when they entered the House of
Lords was tho sword nf state, while
behind them came pages of honor, offi
cers, gentlemen-at-arms and a yeoman
guard, in scarlet and bearing halberds.
The procession advanced to the HouBe
of Lords in the same order thiough tho
royal gallery and the prince's chamber,
8J?W Prsrcss through the gallery
nffording the few spectators n glimpse
of a echo full of magnificent color.
Members of (ho House of Lords rose and
bowed low when King George entered,
and when the king and queen had seated
themselves on the throne a peer bearing
the cap of maintenance" stationed
himself at their right, another carrying
the sword of state took his position at
their left, and other dignitaries grouped
thciu-elvps about.
The usher of the black rod, having
summoned the House of Commons to
join the House of Lords, the members
of the lower house entnred, being led
by the speaker, in official wig and robes,
closely followed bv tho premier and
coated assemblage presented a common

theatrical setting that awaited it In the
Ul'iict UOU3C.
Only One Innovation
The only innovation in today's cere
mony was in accordance with the lord

features veiled. Instead, the veils
flowed behind in trains nine feet long,
which made a suitable background for
tho display of Jewels which were family
heirlooms. The edict was actuated by
a desiro to simplify the ceremony.
Queen Mary wore the wonderful
crown fcwcls, including tho Cullinau
diamond.
The historic ccrenqony of searching
the vaults of the houses of Parliament
for possible explosives was carried out
by a detachment of yeomen of the
guard from the Tower of London, at

ing halberds and lanterns.
King George and Queen Mary left
Buckingham Palace at 11 o'clock and
proceeded to Westminster through the
cheering throngs. The Prince of Wales

Council Muss Not
Politics, Says Coles
Contlnocd from Tare One
ministration and in that connection
draw me into it on a charge that T am
a party to it. It is absolutely not so.
"Personally I have not talked over
political plans with any Town Meeting
leader or leaders Rlnce Mayor Moore
was Inaugurated. So far as I know all
of them have gone about their own par
ticular business just ns I have tried to
get back my law practice.
Calls It "Flash in the Pan"
"This difference among tho majority
In Council is merely a difference of
opinion. It is a flash in the pan. It
should have been threshed out on the
inside and not on tho outside. That
would have been the proper way to
do it.
"For instance, the members of Coun
cil friendly to the administration should
have been consulted individually. They
should hae decided among themselves
how many cmplojes the new Council
really needed. Then, if there were anv
differences of opinion, there would have
been an opportunity to meet objections
and explain their views.
"It is a matter ot everyday occur
rence for men working together for a
common end to have divergent opinions.
The present is a case in point. Who
ever is responsible for originating the
many stories about conspiracies and
personal disappointments is guilty of
something that can serve no purpose
other than an attempt to split the forces
which would naturally stand behind the
administration.
"My persons! opinion is that they
should bo kicked into Ihe limbo of dis
credited things.

The Law of
Serves Your
Correspondence Individualized
Business Without Ruling It
Lo
Plan
Filin
liOi
EVERY business man can recall individuals
who thought themselves efficient, but who
merely proved officious. The same is true
of ordinary filing methods. Seemingly effective
in theory in practice, they rule rather than serve.
And though such methods cost more to con
tinue than to correct, office managers often fear
a change may mean a revolution of organization.
The Amberg Plan is so simple, its adoption
doesn't upset routine and often requires no
change of modern furniture equipment
Practical Results of the Amberg Plan
Because the Amberg Plan gives but one logical place
to file or find, anyone knowing the A, B, C's can find any
filed record in an emergency. The confidence in your
files theAmberg Plan creates, makes them a clearing
house for reference. All alibis for filing in desk baskets
and storing in files are abolished. Your files become
a mechanical memory for all office knowledge that is
a matter for black and white record.
Scientific Basis of the Amberg Plan
The Amberg Plan is founded on a law of Corres
pondence proved 99'2 accurate. This law is based on
the Amberg masterlist of 205,920 names whose proportion
of occurrence is constant throughout business. The
masterlist is the result of the analysis of millions of names
and the study of name occurrence for more than half
a century in over 75,000 Amberg filing installations.
Purely inventive ways of filing enforce arbitrary
rulings and routine, increase in complication with time
and put dependance more on memory than on filing
mechanisms. This shows in needless coding, persistent
misfiling, slow reference, mental confusion and loss of time
and effort in the entire office.
Amberg Finds Law of Correspondence
Correct distribution is the keystone of reliable filing.
In some form, the Amberg Company had invented and
tried practically every method now in use to arbitrarily
control filing distribution. Results showed that till the
law governing distribution was known and understood,
such efforts were merely blind groping, and that to obtain
dependable filing, distribution problems must be provided
for in advance. The application of the Law of Corres
pondence not only provides for but controls distribution.
Amberg took seven years to find and prove this law.
The Amberg Plan Individually Applied
Amberg experience covering more than half a century
, has established that no two filing problems are ever
identical. Few are even similar. It is in its individual
application to your peculiarities of organization and
business relationships that the Amberg Plan assures your
having effective files. Provision for the volume of fileable
matter developed by your buying, branches, agencies and
chief accounts is the first step of the Amberg Plan. That,
together with the application of the Law of Correspon
dence, gives you individualized files.
You can adopt the Amberg Plan at once
without any commotion in your office. Asking
Amberg how, will not obligate you or cost you
anything.
