 Earl Of CNYnArvOn

BERLIN, April 1t.--tBy Associated Press. 1.-The Earl of Carnarvon's death, following SO closely on his suc- cessful excavations in the Valley of the Kings at Luxor. has. led the Ger mans to dust off literary parallel to his case written in 1888 by German author. Paul Landau. Landau ere atcd one Professor Andreas Moeller, who succeeded in unearthing the tomb of fictitious Syrian king named Sidon. which dated back 1000 years Sidons sarcophagus bore the in inscription:
 Human: open Not My Death Chamber. If You Do Open My Death Shrine and Disturb My Rest, Then You win Find no Rest on Earth Your Blood Shall Boil in Your Arte- rics. and Your Limbs Shall Be Kend- cred Numb

Canadians Claim Appetite Surfeited
 Before Crop Comes In

OTTAWA. Ont. April LA plea of the Niagara Peninsula Fruit Growers association for higher duty on fruit from the United States is based upon the premise that the pub lies appetite for fruit becomes sur feited before the Ontario crop ripens. and that the home grown crops of strawberries. peaches and cherries are therefore thrown upon limited market. It is probable that the min ister of finance will send represen- tatiee to the Niagara fruit. belt to disduss the situation with the fruit gro~ers.
 It is argued by the Niagara asso- citation that hundreds of carloads ot early California and Florida fruit invade the Ontario markets long be- fore the domestic crop is ready to sell. As a result of this early satis- fying of the desire for fresh fruit. the public demand for home grow fruits has been steadily declining. The growers want duty hign enough to make the price of United States early fruits virtually prohibit

This home has a general restaurant where about 500 boys and girls are fed daily. The meals are more elab-

As 6ne entered the room. there was Quaker boy from Philadelphia who had meal tickets before him. He was furnishing these tickets to such as could not afford to pay the full sum. making up the difference to the frac- tion of a cent.
