LuNIKjN, Oct. 4.—For tile flr^t time
sln< e the advent of the railway strike, roy-
alty has found it necessary to use another
mode (if truvel over a lotiK? distance. The
Kins; :>ml (.Mieen and their suite have left
Balmoral, where they spent their vaeatlon,
for Buckingham Palace iu automobiles.
As a rule, numerous sumptuous trains
are at their disposal, and it is supposed
that the railway strikers would haw made
an exceptinii and manned the King's spe-
cial train, hut so far as Is known no su h
request was made. The distance from Hal-
mornl to London Is 400 miles, and the
royal party is not expected here until
tomorrow.
liritish nobility continues to hasten to
the aid of the community In this greatest
l« II' nlast Saturday night, Miss
S Betty Bond missed her train for San An-
l lonio, where she was billed to appear at
( the Majestic Theater this week. The man-
ager of the Majestic in Houston called
upon Lieut. C. Anderson Wright, pres-
I ^''ro Wut) of Texas, for help.
I All the planes belonging to the club were
out of the city, hut T,ieut. Wright offered
to pilot SIlss liond to San Antonio after
S. E. ,r. Cox, a wealthy oil operator of
Houston, loaned one of his planes to the
club. This picture shows Miss Bond at
the airdrome of the Aero Cluli of Texas,
in Houston, Just before the start, early
Sunday morning. She reached Sail Antonio
before noon—in time for the matinee. It
was necessary to make the trip very quick-
ly. as Lieut. Wright was to tour the State
with the aviation sub committee of the
Military Affairs Committee of Congress,
who were due in Houston the following
day, there to be the guests of the Aero
Club of Texas. He returned to Houston
immediately after lauding Miss Bond iu

being shipped almost wet painted so great
the hurry of the purchasers. Another

ditional tract for the sites of homes of
