Rama of Siam ran up deficit of
$S,750.000, and spent money at the
rate Of $4,500,0 900 a year, an audit of
the royal books disclosed after his
death. The Siamese Government has
taken over his liabilities.
The Siamese electric companies
collected $500 each day from the
palace meters, though the sun does
daily duty in Siam and fogs are
rare.
His successor, King Prachatipok,
has worked out some economies and
thinks he can maintain himself on
slightly more than S2,500,00 each
year.
There will be a considerable saw
ing in the electric light bills, I ex-

financial advisor to the Siamese Gov

More than half Of the late King
Aama's liabilities were due to ad-
vances from the National Treasury

alton. About three-fourths of the
royal expenditure of S4,500,0 was
due to payments on the Kings civil

! NORWEGIANS ARE
SPECULATING ON
BRIDE FOR PRINCE
Two Daughters of Swedish
Royalty Considered
Possibilities.

BD United Press
OSLO, Oct. 1.-Norway's royalty
and smart social set is much inter
ested this fall in the matrimonial in
tentions of Crown Prince Olav. who
is one Of the most dashing and hand
some of Europe's eligible princes
Prince Olav was "a last July. Ev-
eryone hopes that before long he

he will choose is a matter that is sub
ject for much speculation in Nor.
way
Visit Is Disappointment
When the Swedish Prince Carl, n
son of the late King Oscar ii of
Sweden, came to Norway last au-
tumn with his two daughters, it was
believed that one of these princesses
would be chosen. This speculation
was given added impetus when the
Crown Prince had himself photo.
graphed in full uniform with all his
orders on his breast. Photographing
of members of the royal family Is
very uncommon in Norway.
Hopes were wrecked when Prince
Carl and Princess Ingeborg, King
GRakon's sister, returned home with
Fir daughters unbetrothed.
Will Visit Again
More recently, came the announce.
ment that Prince Carl with his con
sort and daughters was again to
visit the Norwegian court. Many
were again certain that the engage
ment would be announced, but there
was another disappointment After
eight days stay, Carl, Ingeborg and
all three daughters left for home.
without anything happening.
Rumor now asserts that these
visits were merely intended to con.
ceal not confirmed plan, which is
said to be an alliance between the
Norwegian Crown Prince and the
Swedish Crown Princes daughter In
grid, a young and beautiful princess.
Prince Is Popular
Crown Prince Olav is very popular
in Norway He is expert in skiing,
rowing and sailing. He will be the
first Norwegian king after the lapse
of 500 years, who will speak the un-
adulterated Norwegian language.
In Norway it would be hailed with
unmixed satisfaction if he should
choose a Swedish princess as his con-
sort. 1t would further strengthen
the good relations existing between
Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
His father, King Haakon VII, who
in 1905, was elected king of Norway
by a plebescite Of the Norwegian
people, is son Of the late king of
Denmark, Frederick VIII. The
princes mother, Queen Maud, is
daughter of the British king, Edward
VII.

APPLES BEING SHIPPED
ABROAD

Thousands of barrels of Delaware
and Maryland apples are being ex-
ported to Europe and South America,
this fall. Early returns received
from apples shipped to England and
Scotland six weeks ago proved very
satisfactory. The average net per
barrel was better than So, which
enables the apple grower to realize
a fair profit. The fruit is being
shipped to practically every country
in Europe and to several in the
southern hemisphere.
The weather this summer has
been admirable for the growth
and coloring of apples. The cool
weather of the fall has given the
skin just the right shade of red to
make it sell advantageously. More
than 100 carloads have been con-
tracted for to export. 1t is the
largest amount of apples shipped out
of this country in the history of the
apple industry.
The chief reason why not only
Delaware and Maryland, but other
apple growing states are shipping
their fruit out of the country is
because the crop abroad is very
short. In this country, however,
there is a tremendous crop in pros
pect and in this connection Professor
Wesley Webb of the Peninsula
Horticultural Society, which position
he has held for more than a score
of years, said
"At National Apple Conference
held in Chicago, September and
10, this Acknowledgements For
Health, Inc. was organized and
incorporated under the laws OF
Illinois as non-profit organization
to stimulate the demand for apples
by a nationwide advertising and
publicity, campaign, to maintain the
apple as the king of American
fruits. Men of known business
ability and influence were elected to
executive Offices and board Of gov
ernors. Such campaign will con-
vert your surplus apple crop into
profits.
"The funds needed for the pre-
liminary work, including the estab-
lishment of the business Office of the
association, are being raised by
voluntary contributions from the
larger growers and shippers and
from the allied industries. Every
industry that sells supplies, etc., to
the growers is directly interested in
the prosperity of the fruit grower.
! Many of these industries have volun-
! tarily contributed generous amounts
to this apple publicity campaign.
However, much additional funds are
necessary to be raised quickly in
order to show decided benefits in
better prices this year. Any money
advanced to this fund now by the
growers or others will be deducted
from their quota later"

most successful merchant. He be-
came so prosperous that he retired
in 1765 and withdrew to his estate
at Whitestone, Long Island. In
order to establish his SON in bust
ness, he formed the firm of Francis
Lewis & Son in 1771, but as soon as
the young man was well launched,
the father withdrew once more and
never engaged in it again.
Lewis was not a member OF the
First Continental Congress, but was
one of the Committee of Fifty-one
which served as committee Of cor
respondence. He was a member Of
the Stamp Act Congress in 1865.
The earlier years of the Revolution
were fatal to his property. His
house was burned and his wife i'm
prisoned in New York whence Wash
ington, at the order of Congress,
procured her release.
He was elected to Congress In
1875 and remained there until 1879,
and in that year became commits
sioner of the Board of Admiralty.
The Signer's son, Morgan Lewis,
became Governor of the State, being
elected over Aaron Burr in 1904.

Francis Lewis, Signer

Through his knowledge of Gaelic
and Cymraeg, Francis Lewis, New
York Signer of the Declaration of
independence, was able to. save him
self from being made a burnt
sacrifice by the Indians. The four
signers from the Empire State were
eulogized recently at exercises held
in the New York State Building at
the Sesqui- Centennial International
Exposition.
During the French and Indian
War Lewis supplied the British
troops with clothing as agent at
Oswego. On the surrender of the
fort and its garrison of 1900 men,
Lewis was handed over to the Indians
as one of thirty captives. He ex-
pected to, suffer the fate of a cap
tive, but he succeeded in making
friends with the warriors who
guarded him by means of the dialects
he had learned in Wales.
Lewis was born in Llandoff, Wales,
in 1918. He studied at West

London as clerk in a counting
house. Later he came to the New
World where he rapidly became a

quantity of water is necessary for
condensing. He mentioned that the
channel of the Nanticoke, at the
point of the proposed site, swings
in to shore and is about thirty-five
feet deep. There is also a strong
flow of tide in both directions at this
point, this being necessary to carry
away the hot water from the
condensers. Mr.. Lawton said that
it has been difficult to find
a location with sufficient guam
tity of fresh water for a power
house of the size to be erected and
yet on a railroad. One other site is
also under option by the company
and an engineers report is being
prepared.

Louvre, have been Lent by the
French Government for exhibition at
the Sesqui-Centennial
Mayor Kendrick has been notified
by Maurice Paillard,- French consul
in Philadelphia, that his government
had consented to the loan of the
masterpieces. The letter informing
The consul of the decision was dated
September 3, and Mr.. Paillard ex-
pressed belief the paintings had been
shipped few days later.
Besides the ''Angelus," the pic
lures to be exhibited are Whistler's
Mother, much-loved painting
represented by the thousands in this
country; "Orphee ct Euridice," by
Nicolas Poussin; Portrait of Plus

"Renaud ct Armide," by Francis
Boucher, and 1914" by Ernest
MISSIONER.
The masterpieces will be displayed
prominently in the Palace of Fine
Arts at the SesQui.
This testimony of friendship and
interest on the part of the French
Republic is one of the most crafty
ing incidents of the entire exposi-
tion," said Mayor Kendrick. Every
picture referred to is a world-known
masterpiece and their addition to the
splendid collection now in the Palace
of Fine Arts will make it a Mecca for
art lovers
The loan of the collection was OBJ

believed still by many that consent

may be an opening wedge in secur-
ing the Mona Lisa" and, possibly,

Jean Francois Millet, who painted
the Angelus," was the son of a
