THE QUEEN'S OWN—Louis Stroup, Kansan reporter, finds out about the crack British squad that guards Buckingham Palace. Stroup is the one at the left in case you are confused.
Black Bear Shako, Red Shirt Accent British Pageantry
Remember all the stories about colorful, traditional England? The pomp and splendor of the coronation ceremonies?
They became reality Friday afternoon as Maj. Alastair Ritchie, second in command of the Scots Guard of Buckingham Palace, marched into a press conference in Kansas City, Mo. Maj. Ritchie is representing his government as a good-will ambassador.
Dressed in a well fitted, bright red blouse and black trousers, he gracefully donned his 20-inch high cap, made of the skin of a Canadian black bear, as photographers kept the room lighted with flash bulbs.
To Visit 10 Cities
A guest of the British consul,
he will visit 10 cities while in the
U.S. Kansas City is as far West as
Mai. Ritchie will travel.
He is a commander in Her Majesty's Scots Regiment of Foot Guards. They are the Queen Mother's personal troops when they are in England. There are five such regiments, which are well-known for their colorful role in most state ceremonies.
Besides being on a good-will trip, Maj. Ritchie is acting as the advance guard for the Scots Guard Band. This group, under his command, will tour the United States for 10 weeks.
The band will present a program in the Kansas City Municipal Auditorium Nov. 6, which will include pipers and Highland dancers. The band has 108 members.

Maj. Ritchie said the Scotts Guards are "not just for decoration, but are fighting troops of the highest caliber." He said the training of the Queen Mother's

HURRAY FOR THE RED, WHITE AND GOLD!
It started quietly enough. The makers of gentle Philip Morris, as hale a bunch of fellows as you ever clapped your eyes upon, got to talking last summer during their annual outing on Attu, a secluded and unspoiled island, often called "The Capri of Alaska." Capri, on the other hand, is often called "The Attu of Italy."
There's a new package on Philip Morris Cigarettes. It's red and white and gold and pretty as a picture. You'd never guess that behind anything so bright and cheerful is a saga packed with action and passion, with love and romance and not a few tears.
But I digress. I was saying that the makers of Philip Morris, jim-dandy fellows every man-jack of them, got to talking on their last outing, "Don't you think," said one maker to the other makers, "that our brown Philip Morris package, though in many ways terribly fetching, doesn't quite reflect the basic quality of today's Philip Morris—its happy gentleness, its jolly lightness?"
"Why, yes," replied the other makers to the first maker, "we do think that our brown Philip Morris package, though in many ways terribly fetching, doesn't quite reflect the basic quality of today's Philip Morris—its happy gentleness, its jolly lightness."
"Let us have the pack re-designed!" suggested the first maker, whose name is Laughing Ned.
"Yes, let us!" cried the other makers, whose name is Fun-Loving Tom. "Let us! Let us! Let us!"
The makers forthwith engaged the prominent firm of package re-designers, Sigafoos and Associates. It was with full confidence that the makers entrusted the task to Sigafoos and Associates, for Sterling Sigafoos, the senior member, is known the length and breadth of the world as "The Grand Old Man of Package Re-designing," and his partner, Fred Associates, though a younger man, is everywhere regarded as a comer.
Sigafoos and Associates began their job by conducting interviews from coast to coast to determine what kind of pack people wanted for Philip Morris. The partners could not do the interviewing themselves – Sigafoos because of his advanced years; Associates because he is subject to motion sickness — so they sent our two trusted employees: Mr. Walker Nylet (Yale '51) and Miss Felicia SIGafoos (Radcliffe '52), daughter of the senior partner. After canvassing the entire nation and tabulating more than 90 million interviews, Mr. Nylet sent the following communique to the home office:
"Dear Dad and Associates,
I call you Dad because Miss Sigafoos and I discovered during our long and exhaustive survey that never were two people so admirably suited. We have accordingly been married and have accepted a position with the United States Government keeping the lighthouse off Gay Head, Martha's Vineyard.
I hope you are not too upset by this news. May I suggest you look at it this way: you haven't lost a daughter; you've gained a beacon.
Sincerely,
Walker Nylet"
Well sir, old Sigafoos fumed for a while, but at last he calmed down and went to visit the newlyweds in their lighthouse, bringing them a suitcase full of twenties as a wedding gift. It was there he learned that people want Philip Morris in the red, white, and gold package which you are now, I trust, holding in your very own hand. ©Max Shilman, 1923
The makers of PHILIP MORRIS who bring you this column beg to remind you that for a while you'll still be seeing Philip Morris both ways - in the bright new red, white and gold package, and in the friendly familiar brown,
