Alien Plot Hinfed

LIE HAVRE, France, April 90
(UP)-Formal charges of arson and
destruction of the liner Paris were
filed against unknown persons
today
Louis De Chappedelaine, minister
Of merchant marine, and the chief
Of the Havre police blamed destruc-
ton of the liner. which caught fire
Tuesday night. on criminal arson.
An investigation was opened in all
parts of France into a possible plot
by a foreign sabotage organization
The wreckage of the Paris was
smoking still beside the dock today
as the liner Champlain replaced
her on the north Atlantic run and
prepared to sail for New York.
Secret police set to work in Nice
and elsewhere. a month ago in
Nice the head of the mobile police
brigade received a letter signed
"WBC 1882" informing him that in
a Nice hotel three persons were
overheard discussing an effort to
destroy a French liner.
All French ships were put under
surveillance at that time.
Police today, through the news
papers and radio, urged the writer
of the letter to come forward, as
suring him full protection.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Tunis is hardly one-third as large
as Carthage was at the time of it's
glory. Yet Tunis is one of the lead
ing cities of Northern Africa. 1t is
a seaport from which thousands of
tons of olive oil, and millions of
pounds of dates, are exported each
year.
About half the people in Tunis are
Arabs. The rest are mainly French
: men, Italians, Maltese and Jews.
Jewish women in Tunis wear a
pointed headdress which makes it
easy to tell them in a crowd.
The so-called native quarter" OF
Tunls contains narrow streets which
are lined by hundreds of small shops
or open-air booths. When foreign
visitor wanders along one of these
streets, he must take care that he
does not bump into donkey or mule
with a heavy load of goods on
its back. Merchants call out their
wares. Often they know a little
French, italian or English, and may
ask the visitor to come and look
at what they have to sell. They say
they don't want him to buy, but
would like to have him see the fine
quality of what they have for sale.
An interesting custom of these
merchants is to give the visitor a
cup OF coffee, whether he wants to
buy something or not. To drink the
sWeet-tasting coffee is looked upon
as sign of being friendly. In say
ing good-by, the merchant is likely
to kiss the back of his hand, and
then touch his hand to the coat of
the visitor or customer.

in 1t as ours, the month starts earlier
each year. Last year it started in
the second half of November. This
year it will start in the first half of
November.
The fasting of Ramadan takes
place in the daytime, between dawn
and sunset. No one must eat anv
food while there is daylight. The
faithful in Tunis wait for the boom
of gun to tell them when the davis
fast Is over. Then they are free to
eat all they want, and the feastinr
may last clear through the night.
When person must work hard
the next day, the loss of sleep in
Ramadan will make him feel tired
Even though they feast a great deal
at night the Arabs try to get some
sleep. They know that a man blow
ing horn will walk past their home
IN the morning, about an hour before
daybreak. to wake them up so thew
can eat something before it is too
late. WV

TootS, Boots and Lizzie were So

outgrowth of the predicament was
that the three girls bought an old

Lizzie could only scrape together SO.
All this money constituted drain
