 Six years ago the tomb of that Pharaoh was opened in Egypt by British archaeological expedition headed by Lord Carnarvon, who had had for his chief assistant Howard Carter.
 Within year Lord Carnarvon died in Cairo from an illness which developed from a mosquito bite on the face. A month or two later Colonel Aubrey Herbert, Lord Car narvon's half-brother who had also entered the tomb and was stated to have had a premonition of impend- ing disaster, also died.
 Howard Carter succeeded Lord Carnarvon in command of the ex- petition, and MT. Bethell acted as his secretary.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Anoth- CT legal precedent has been estab- .lished. upholaing husband as the captain of his credit so far as his wife is concerned.
 To long line of English and American court opinions giving a break to the man who shuffles a sheaf of bad news the first of most months, the District of Columbia Court of appeals has added its af- firmative voice.
 The opinion was rendered by Jus tice Charles H. Robb, and he clear ed Rep. George Huddleston of Ala bama of liability for the debt of $245 for a fur coat Mrs. Huddleston 
 MT. Huddleston set forth that he gave his wife SIS a month in cash for clothing and told her not to purchase on his credit. He assert CT he knew nothing of the fur coat purchase, until it was legally brought to his attention. The crux of the case, said the court, was this:
 No evidence of acts or conduct on the part of MT. Huddleston con- ierring upon his wife an apparent to pledge his credit"
 Down through the years, the opinion cited the decisions of other courts, in England and in America, which held substantially, that when a husband has once performed his duty to provide for his wife he may not be compelled in a court of law to do so again.
 Justice Robb said, furthermore, Tt does not require the discern ment of a Solomon to appreciate tEat the unauthorized purchase of goods by a wife whose husband has adequately provided for her inevit- ably will have a tendency to disturb and possible disrupt their conjugal relations"
 It was as long ago as 1898 that a Maryland court set up a bar to the wifely remark Charge it please" that, in legal terminology, was the case of Jones V. Gutman.
 The court held when husband and wife are living together and she is properly maintained she has

 Tomb for Eighth Death

to make an x-ray examination of the body of the dead king.
 A little later, an eminent Cana dian, Professor Laffleur of McGill University, died at Luxor while on a visit to the tomb.
 H. G. Evelyn-W White, scholar and Psychologist, committed suicide to- wards the end of the same year and left a letter, containing the words:
 T knew there was a curse on me-"
 Two sudden deaths connected with the tomb took place in 1926. They were those of M. Benedite. a French archaeologist attached to the Department of Antiquities at Cairo. and M. Pasanova. Both had taken part in the excavations in the Valley of the Kings.
 Thus eight men of the compara- lively few who took leading parts in the Drama of the Tomb, have died within the last few years.
 One inscription is commo only. found on various Egyptian tombs. It varies in it's actual wording but its sense is this:
 Here lies the Great King. And whoso disturbs this tomb, on him may the curse of Pharaoh rest"

Compelled to Return to Teller from Proposed
 Eielson Search
ICE IS BLOWN FROM
 ALASKA SHORE LINE
Open Water as Far as Can Be Seen-Planes Ready
 for Next Attempt

Four planes piloted by Pilots Crosson, Gillian, Young and Barn. hill failed to break through the fog barrier over Bering Strait yester- day and were forced to return to Teller without having established a base relief camp from which the search for Col. Carl Ben Eielson and Earl Borland was to be con- ducted.
 Word to this effect was received late last night at the Governors office and also by The Empire from the Associated Press.
 Teller advices said the les were ready to take off af as soon as weather permitted
 Expedition Takes off
 The relief expedition took off from Teller at 10 a. m. yesterday. the first time in the ST days since the fliers disappeared that hope for a successful flight was enter. tained. Weather conditions were reported favorable at North Cape and they were ideal at Teller. The flight was under the leader ship of Jos Crosson, veteran In- terior Alaska flier with many hours of winter flying to his credit. His companions are also experienced aviators who have flown over thou sa'a. f miles in In.arin~ and Northern Alaska, winter. as we'll as summer. The expedition was to establish a base halfway between Teller and North Cape and operate from there in an extensive search.
 Dense Fog
 At noon, two hours after the take-off, three planes, flown by Pilots Gillian, Young and Barnhill returned to the Teller landing field. They reported a dense fog over Boring Strait which they could neither penetrate nor fly above. Crosson followed them back to Teller later in the afternoon, after he had made many attempts to pierce the fog bank.
 Ice Blown Out
 According to the Associated Press dispatches the fliers stated that a storm had blown the ice from the Alaska coast toward the Siberian coast on Bering Strait and water was seen as far as eyes could ob- serve from the planes
 Matt Neimenen took off from Nome at 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing for Teller and returned from there at l2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon with two passengers.
 Neimenen is to fly the old Stin- son plane to Fairbanks within a few days, or as soon as temporary repairs can be made. Mueller, me- chanic, will also return to Fair banks

CHAMBER NAMES
 NEW DIRECTORS; SEVEN ELECTED
New Board Elected to Serve Next Year-Maj. Elliott
 Makes Short Talk

The Chamber of Commerce today elected it's Board of Directors for next year, the seven chosen being Gunnar Blomgren, c. E. Cleveland J. J. Connors, E. M. Goddard, H w. Hollmann, H. J. Turner and H G. Watson. This board will elect a President from it's own melnber- ship and Secretary for next year
 It will organize and take office by the first regular January meeting President H, H. Faulkner and the present board retire at the close oi the current calendar year. G. E Cleveland was the only member of the existing directorate to be re- nominated for next year and he re- ceived the highest vote cast.
 Attitude Is Gratifying
 "The attitude in Washington to- ward Alaska is very encouraging and should be the source of grati- fieation to everyone" the Chamber was told by Maj. Malcolm Elliott President of the Alaska Road Com mission, the only speaker at today meeting. The Administration ear- nestly desires to bring about Alaska development on sound economic lines, he said.
 The Road Commission is assured of funds equal to those of last year, the budget having approved $500, ,000 for it's Alaska operations. This means it will be able to carry on in about the same manner as during the past several years. Money for initiating new projects is not plenti- ful and most of such funds will be expended on the Chisana road, a feeder to Richardson Highway. The road and trail system of the Com mission has expanded to such ex- tent that it now requires large part of the annual appropriation for maintenance work, Maj. Elliott said.
 Highway Makes Progress
 The promotion of the Pacific-Yu- kon Highway has made great strides exceeding the most optomistic ex- pectations of it's sponsors, he added. The United States has approved it to the extent of approving pending lepislation authorizing a study of and report on the project in con- junction with Canada. The De- minion Government of Canada is also interested, and the Province of British Columbia has shown great activity in its own interest in the project.

 The fate of some of those who have disappeared is known in anti Fascist circles. They became too venturesome, crossed the border into Italy, and are now residing on one of the Italian prison islands. most of them for life.
