Fanny's Title
By BUD OVERMAN
(Associated Newspapers—WNU Service.)
[FANNY REGAL had always lived
with her aunt and uncle in a me-
dium-priced apartment. She had
studied music and art and elocution
(called expression, which was too
strong a word entirely for the in-
struction she had!) and had been
jprepared hopefully by her aunt for
a legacy that had been long looked
for.
And now the legacy had come!
Uncle Regal quickly bought in Fan-
ny’s name a beautiful country es-
tate some thirty miles out of the
leity, according to the genial realtor
who closed the deal.
“And now, Fanny,” said Aunt
Regal, “your estate is much, much
larger than we hoped it might be,
and there is no use in letting your-
self be married off to some com- |
!moner. You will marry a title. You
can well afford it, dear. And I'll
get you the title, see?”
And, sure enough, they hadn't |
{been in the new house two weeks
{before a prince was invited to visit
{them for the week-end.
| “So lucky you've been trained to
Ising a little and play a little and
speak nice pieces,” said her aunt
jto Fanny. “It will stand you in
|good stead now that you are to
{marry into royalty, my dear.”
| ‘Oh, but, aunty!’ expostulated
|Fanny with a pretty blush. ‘“Noth-
ing is settled yet, you know. Why,
I haven't even seen this prince of
yours and he hasn't seen me.”
“Well, I must say,”” admitted her
‘aunt, ‘he certainly isn’t much for
looks. Skinny old thing, to tell the
truth. But when he sees you, my
dear—you’re remarkably pretty,
you know—and then with the pen-
{nies you have . ...”
{ “It’s a pity that the head garden-
jer isn’t a prince,” mused Fanny.
She looked at the gardener wist-
fully. She found occasion to ask
thim how hollyhocks were planted
iand taken care of.
| “You like hollyhocks?’’ asked the
gardener gravely.
y “Oh, yes,” said Fanny. “When I |
iwas a little girl, Sims, we had a
book at home showing English gar-
dens, and they always seemed to
| have tall hollyhocks nodding in such |
a gracious manner. Of course, that |
i sounds silly—but they did look like |
that—really!”’
“It doesn’t seem a bit silly to |
me,” he replied, as he bent over
{some very fine bulbs he was plant- |
'ing himself. ‘Weston! Wheel the |
barrow over fifty yards west there |
~—to that bed I've been having
smoothed.” |
“Don’t talk to these gardeners,
child,” scolded her aunt. “They
charge us an incredible sum for the
work anyhow. Why that head |
{gardener has a college degree, if
you’ll believe it.” |
And so Fanny found that Sims |
would talk a little about college and |
{hollyhocks and the bugs that bother |
rose bushes. |
i The night that the prince arrived |
found Fanny weeping stormily in |
ithe garden pergola. “Skinny old |
'thing!’’ she wailed between sobs. |
, “Who?” demanded a voice at her |
elbow.
And then she was telling Sims
all about it, and. some way or
other his arms went around her to |
‘comfort her and pretty soon—well, |
:well—these things will happen—he
kissed her! And Fanny, having
‘been brought up very strictly by |
her watchful aunt, considered them-
selves engaged immediately and |
Sims willingly agreed to hustle right |
off after a wedding license. In fact,
he was more than willing.
And when they came back next
{morning to the estate Fanny expect-
ed her aunt to marvel at the ro-
mance of it all. Instead her uncle
told Winfield Sims that he was a
rascally fortune hunter.
“As far as that doggoned prince
was concerned,” said Uncle Regal
to Fanny, quite as if her hus-
band were not there at all, “you
‘didn’t miss a thing. It seems he
gave his real name all right, but
I had some detectives look him
up, and, say! He didn’t have a
title any more’'n I have—the faker!
Why, he'd served time in a peniten-
tiary—and he—"’
“Oh, oh, oh!” laughed Fanny. “I
believe I'm going to be a character
reader or whatever they're called.
I didn’t like his looks at all and
Win didn’t like him either. Did
you, Win?”
Winfield Sims did not hear his
new wife. He was staring with hor-
ror-stricken eyes at a telegram that |
a servant had just put into his hands. |
“My—my brother has been killed— |
hunting. They cabled the New York |
lawyer and he telegraphed that I—I
must go home at once.”
“Did you think so much of this
brother?’’ asked Aunt Regal uneas- |
ily as she looked at his suddenly |
deep-lined face.
“I. haven't seen him for eight |
years,”” confessed Winfield. ‘But,
you see, it will take Fanny away
from you—I—I'll inherit the title
now and I'll just about have to live
at home to take charge of things. |
You see, I wanted to make my own
way and I decided on expert gar- |
dening. I never thought of inherit- |
ing the title because there is only |
eighteen months’ difference in age |
between Steven and me, Poor |
Steven! Will you mind—much— |
living “abroad; Fanny, darling?”
| And so, after all, Aunt Regal had |
Jer way and Fanny married a title, |

'REMARF. BY FDR AROUSES
THIRD TERM QUESTION
Washington — Prescident Roosevelt
started anoither flurry of speculation
about the third term question last
week by an off-hand remark with
which he prefaced an address at the
laying of the cornerstone of the Tho-
mas Jefferson Memorial.
“This 4s the second occasion on
which I have had the privelege of
coming in an official capacity to this
site,” he said “and I hope by January,
1941, I shall be able to come to the
final dedication of the memorial itself.”
Mr. Roosevelt's present term expires
on the 20th of the month he mentioned
and the dedication is scheduled for
that month.
Whether his statement was a reiter-
ation of the hope previously expressed,
that he may retire from public life on
that date, was the question that was
raised.
If the statement was applicable to
the third term question-—and men in
Roossevelt’s position do not lightly
make assertions which contain political
| connotations—it may have meant that |
the President does not expect to run
again,
But, at most, it was far from defi- |
| nite and left the third-term question |
| still unanswered. However, the ques- |
| tion has such a tremendous bearing |
upon the current political situation, |
that any dim light which may be cast |
upon it is considered of high impor- |
tance in Washington. |
The President spoke beneath a
cloudless November sky, his speaker's |
platform framed in derricks and guy |
wires. A few hundred persons were |
present, standing below the President |
on a rough wooden platform or upon
the muddy bank of the nearby tidal |
basin.
The memorial is to complete an ar- |
chitectural cross, of which the Lincoln |
Memorial, the White House and the |
Capitol are the three other ends and |
the Washington Monument the center. |
The President had words of praise, |
consequently for Washington and Lin- {
coln as “many sided” men who left a |
deep imprint upon the Nation, as well |
as for Jefferson. The latter he lauded |
for his interest in education, as the |
inventor of “numerous small devices |
to make human life simpler and hap- |
| pier” and as an experimenter in scien- |
tific methods of agriculture. i
“But,” he added, “it was in the field |
| of political philosophy that Jefferson's |
| significance is transcendant.
“He lived as we live in the midst of
a struggle between rule by the self-
chosen individual and of the self-ap-
pointed few, and rule by the franchise
and approval of the many. He beleived
as we do that the average opinion of

fHE UNION PRESS-COURIER,
mankind is in the long run superior to
the dictates of the self-chosen.
“During all the years that have fol-
lowed Thomas Jefferson, the United
States has expanded his philosophy in-
to a greater achievement of security of
the Nation, security of the individual
and national unity, than in any other
part of the world
“It may be that the conflict between
the two forms of philosophy well con-
tinue for centuries to come, but we in
the United States are more than ever
satisfied with the republican form of
government based on regularly recur-
ring opportunities to our citizens to
choose their leaders for themselves.”
150-MILE POWER LINE
TO BE BUILT BY
THE CAMBRIA REA
Surveys, preliminary to the con-
struction of 150 miles of electric lines
in Cambria Couty under the Rural
Electrification Adminisstration, will be
begun within the next two weeks, Ed-
ward Jones of Wilmore, president of
the Cambria Electric Cooperative, Inc.
announced last week. Mr. Jones an-
nouncement was made fallowing re-
| ceipt of notification form C. O. Fal-
kenwald, director of the examining di-
vision of the REA in Washington, that
the Cambria County unit had been al-
located $134,000 in federal funds.
Applications for service on the new
lines have been received from 471
families in rural communities through-
cut the county. Persons desiring to ap-
ply for service on the lines' were ur-
ged by Mr. Jones to make application
before the surveys start so that they
may be included in the project.
The new lines will be constructed
in Summerhill, Croyle, Adams, Rich-
land and Conemaugh Townships. Ex-
tensions will also be built to 174 miles
of lines already in operation in Dean,
White, Chest, Clearfield, East Carroll,
West Carroll, Elder, Susquehanna,
Barr Allegheny, Cambria,
Black * Lick, Jackson and Portage
Towwnships. These later lines are now |
under the jurisdiction of the South-
west Central Rural Electric Coopera-
tive Association of Indiana. When these
lines are turned over the Cambria
County unit, which action will be com- |
pleted later, the REA organization in
this county will have 334 miles of
lines, serving more than 1,100 custom- |
ers, under its jurisdiction.
“We are anxious that persons desir-
ing electric service in the county make |
application immediately so that they
can come in under the new project,” |
Mr. Jones said. “However, we will not
restrict applications to the townships
we have listed but will be glad to re-
ceive them from every section of the
county. It is possible that we may be

“YOUR HEALTH”
About 300,000 persons in the United |
States will be operated on for acute |
appendicitis this year. |
Of these, 42,000 will have spreading |
peritonitis. {
And 15,000 of the latter will die.
| The death rate for the 42,000 victims
operated on for acute appendicitis be- |
| fore the appendix has ruptured is less |
| than 1 percent
| The death rate for the 42,uu0 victims |
| of spreading peritonitis is more than |
| 35 perecent. |
| If the death rate for appendicitis |
is to decrease, the number of appen- |
| dices permited to rupture through de- |
| lay and the use of purgatives must be |
reduced. |
Just as no two persons are alike, so |
no two patients with a ruptured ap- |
pendix react the same and each case |
| is treated according to the particular |
patient. |
Deaths from appendicitis total ap-
| proximately half a million during the
| past thirty years. |
There have been more deaths from |
| this disease during the past ten years
| than during the first ten years of this |
| century.
| Two persons will die from appendi- |
| citis every hour in the United States |
during 1939. {
| Children go to school to learn their |
three R's. {
| Parents and doctors are urged to |
| teach them to beware of the three P's. |
The three P’s are Purgatives, Per- |
foration and Peritonitis.
Purgatives often cause perforation
of a diseased appendix and perforation
means peritonitis.

‘of job printing it produces. y
