Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-03-09
BY WALLACE H. WHITE,

Chairman of the Merchant Marine Com
mittee of the House OF Representatives.
THREE hundred and twenty-three
years ago there was launched
upon the Kennebec-a river Of
4 my own State, Maine-the Vir-
GINA, "a faire pinnace of thirty
TOMS"
"She crossed the Atlantic in safety"
That terSe statement in THE Heritage
of Tyre is the beginning of the record
of glorious American achievement upon
the high seas-and of inglorious Ameri-
can failure also.
We began the building OF a new
world merchant marine in 1907. We
are in this year of 1880 well started
on the rebuilding of an American mer-
chant marine! Before me, as this Is
written, is the recent announcement of
the plans of an American shipping
company to build two new ships. Not
ships of 80 tons each, but ships of more
than $4,000 tons each!
Building Plans Submitted.
The plans have been submitted to
the United States Shipping Board.
Later they must be referred to the Navy
Department-for the Government will
have the right, if it helps to finance
their construction, to use the ships as
naval auxiliary craft in case of neces-
sity. They represent rebirth of that
spirit which gave America supremacy

CHINA.-Really, China is not at all
behind the times. Among the most
famous of Chinese irregular chiefta1nS
are two women; one. leader of a pirate
gang on the southern coast, the other
chief of a bandit group in Honan. The
latter is known as the Widow Chang,
and is beyond doubt a most redoubtable
person. She is of the Robin Hood kid
ney When she plumbers a settlement
she plaSters it with posters reading
Rob the rich and save the poor" She
has a pretty sense Of humor. Both
ladies claim invulnerability to bullets.
Exports from Shanghai to the United
States in 1929 totaled $54, 53S, $50 gold
in value, as against only SAL, 754,930
for 1928. The improvement was mostly
in respect of silk textiles.
THE PHARAOH'S CURSE.-It is no
longer possible to question the effec-
tiveness of Tut-ankh-Amen's curse, the
nature of which is sufficiently indl-
Gated by the ancient Egyptian saying
Death shall come on swift wings to
him who toucheth the tomb OF a
Pharaoh"
The curse claimed its twelfth victim
the other day when Lord Westbury, a
peer 70 years old, committed suicide.
He had been brooding over the tragic
mystery of his son, who was Howard
Carriers secretary during the excava-
ton of the Pharaohs tomb in the Valley
of Kings, and who was found dead IN
the Mayfair Club last year. The other
10 victims were the Earl of Carnarvon,
who financed the Tut-ankh-amen en-
| terprise and strangely died a few weeks
| after the opening of the tombs; Sir
| Archibald Reid. who X-rayed the
mummy; Col Aubrey Herbert, half
brother of the Earl of Carnarvon, who
witnessed the opening of the tomb; Jay
Gould, who died of pneumonia after In
| specting the tomb; Mrs. Evelyn Greely,
an American, who committed suicide
| in Chicago shortly after visiting the
| tomb; Prof Laff1eur of McGin Univer-
sity, who died after examining the sar-
cophaguS; H. G. Evelyn-White, who,
after visiting the tomb, killed himself
because he knew a curse was on him;
an Egyptian prince, who was mystic
riously shot after such visit: DR.. Jona-
than w Carver, who was killed IN an
automobile crash don't say "accident")
after assisting Mr.. Carter in opening
the tomb, and one other. Whoever

It was in 1889 that Augustine Wash

The purchase included (see an ad-
