May Leave Washington for
Pacific Coast About June
20 — Talking Tour.
WASHINGTON', April 11.— Presi
dent Harding he . ' to visit Alaska,
t!>is summer wh n he :oe; on it j
speech-making trip to the Pacific
Coast, although tlcfinite arrangements
are not made. It Is stated at. the
White House the President will prob
ably be able to leave for his trip on |
June 20 and reach Alaska about
July X5. I
It Is d’cflared that President H.trd-j
ing will not make his Pacific Coast*
trip as a political candidate. It is
intimated that the President regards [
that much of tile political talk now1
going on is premature
Those close to the President state;
that Harding is unable to understand i
why a man elevated to the highest
offialal position in the nation cannot
servo at least throe yeats without his
term being made the subject of politi
cal discussion. Harding feels he hasj
considerable work of a nonpolitical
character to do.
The White House spokesman said|
the President is anxious to make the
trip to Alaska because so many con
troareraiies have arisen regarding
jurisdiction over Alaskan affairs that
an intimate knowledge oif conditions
is required to administer laws for
rile territory. Since hie return from
Honda, President. Harding has
learned that several informal confer
ences have been held concerning his
Alaskan trip and he will ask those
members of the cabinet whose duties
relate to Alaska to make the trip
with him.

FLAPPERS, UGH! IS VERDICT
OF PRINCE OF ZUUILRND:
VISITOR OF 75 IS UNKISSED
, - . • - *"f ■ ■ ■ ■
CHICAGO. April 11.—Carrying re
liglon in the African jungle no longer
necessitates dodging the pots of can
nibals. A missionary whose theology
combines the ability to pi (ink a lion
full of lead, however, is better off
than one who knows every verse in
the Bible by heant.
lAs for morality, the missionary
need only forget the customs of his
civilized native land. He can learn
more morality from a Zulu than he
can teach him.
The reason for It all, take it from
Prince Bullawa Cetawayo, is the ab
sence in Zululand of flappers, di
vorce. wife beating, marital cheaters.
Jazz dancing and kissing.
The unkissied 75-year-old Prince.
'Who Is studying American education
al system a, Invaded Chicago in a
correctly cut English business suit,
instead of the conventional musical
comedy dress consisting of a spear,
bronze armlet, nose ring and a gee
string to top off the sartorial effect.
“Your flappers are responsible foi
the loose moral standards in Chi
eago,” he remarked. “I watched them
dance and am disgusted with the dis
play they make of their bodies.
“In Zululand we’d never think of
dancing as you Americans dance. We
barely touch our partners’ fingertips,
and bunnyhugging as well as petting
parties are unknown to us except
through the movies.
“I never have 'been kissed. Instead
of kissing we rub nosec."
Prince Cetawayo, who rules 2,000,
000 natives, is a protege of Cecil
Rhodes, England's “empire builder”
He speaks perfect English, this dap
per little black monarch. who never
heard a word of English until he was
28 years old.
It was Cecil Rhodes wh'o-kenl him
lo Eton and Oxford, although the
Prince’s father is one of the Zulu na
tional heroes because of his obstin
acy in coming under IJrit'sh rule.
Instead of a string of skulls dangling
from his belt. Prince Catawuyo holds
degrees in medicine, philosophy and
religion, speaks t4 languages and
laughs at monkey glands as a rejuve
nating project. ,
“I'm «s full of vigor at 7,j years
as your men at 40.” he. laughed.
"My mother was 104 years old
when she died, and she’d be living
now wereit not that she drowned
in the Orange River.”
The Prince is a Christian, although
his parents were sun worshippers.
His sister studied music at the Paris
Conservatoire.
Rifle practice as an adjunct to
missionary training was emphasized
by Reginald V. Reynolds, youthful I
student at the Moody Hible Ins i'iite j
: Reynolds formerly was a entile trad j
er In Africa and came to Chicago tr*;
t :ke up theological studies He |
soon will return to Africa as a inis-1
sionary.
“I'm going to take a rifle with me,” j
Reynolds, who has bagged 28 lions
and as many leopards, remarked.
“A missionary never knows when
he’ll be called from the pulpit to
shoot a couple of marauding lions
before’ he can continue his aermon.”
