Without Firearms

Coldly would most U. S. insurance agencies regard a man who said:

"I'm going to jump on the running board of the President's car tomorrow and say 'Hello, Herbert!' Just in case one of those Secret Service men should shoot me, I want to insure my life."

In England such a man would be a fairly good insurance risk. At Sunderland last week one Charles Edward Smith burst through a crowd, jumped on the running board of Edward of Wales's slowly moving limousine. Without display of firearms Mr. Smith was quietly arrested but released from custody when he pleaded:

"I was mess boy on the cruiser Renown when we took the Prince to Canada. I have no work now. I couldn't resist the temptation to say 'Hello, Prince' to an old shipmate."

So swiftly, so unobtrusively was Mr. Smith disposed of that Edward of Wales, who was looking out the other window of his limousine, showed no sign of noticing what had happened.
