PRINCES BIRTHDAY
STILL RETAINS VITALITY. British Official Wireless RUGBY, June 24. The Prince of Wales celebrates his 40th birthday to-day, and in accordance with his usual custom, took luncheon with the King and Queen at Windsor Castle. Pictures of the Prince of Wales show him still slim, retaining unquenchable vitality. His fair hair is not tinged with grey. His speeches reveal wisdom, humour, natural authority and deep understanding of life. He still demands the right to go his own way in his own hours. Newspapers have taken to calling him the Bachelor Prince, and have ceased wondering why he does not marry.
