HOW KING KEEPS FIT
Profiting From Friend’s Advice WHEN NOT TO TRAIN (Received November 12, 8.25 p.m.) London, November 11. The secret of the lithe slenderness of the King’s figure, which aroused comment at the Cenotaph, is disclosed by a volume just published, “Leaves From My Unwritten Diary,” by His Majesty's friend, the late Sir Harry Preston. He narrates how at the first Beckett-Car-pentier boxing contest he told the then Prince of Wales that he should not train in earnest until he reached 40. The Prince was then taking strenuous exercise in heavy sweaters, running, playing squash, and riding. He immediately substituted golf, physical “jerks,” swimming and gardening, which are largely accountable for bis present excellent physical trim.
