At hunting party near Hardwood House,
his home in Leeds, Yorkshire, he met young
Princess Mary of England only daughter OF
the late King George v and sister of the
Duke of Windsor and the present King
George VI
He was old enough to be Mary's father
and the shadow of the curse had made him
extremely gloomy
What Lascelles didn't know was that the
royal family were in financial straits and with
a manageable daughter on their hands they
, hoped 10 make an advantageous match with
some eligible Britsher.
The only requirements were that the royal
princess future husband had to be unmarried,
titled and rich Lascelles fitted the bill.
What everybody had apparently forgotten
was how Lascelles had acquired his great
fortune. and that he was becoming just as
much of a mser as his great-uncle.
If Lascelles was a miser and treated his
royal relatives in an ungenerous way, his
stinginess came back at him with full force

princess he is made Duke. King Edward

But Lascelles' breakfast came and went
with no Dlkedom in the offing.
When their two sons were born, Lasceles
tried to obtain titles for them, Alas, there
were none forthcoming, even though they
were grandsons Of the ruling sovereign.
While the boys were growing up, their
cursehaunted father took extreme care that
no accidents should happen. Everything was
done to protect -bodyguards, special

the story goes, old Clanricarde made a
new will and when he died few years
later, England was astonished to learn
that his entire fortune would so to his
granddaughter, Lord Lascelles.
Disappointed relatives insinuated that Las

in order that he might be sole heir Their
disappointment has now turned TO relief be-
cause along with the old mans millions the
Harewoods also inherited the curse.
For Viscountess Boyne who was given a

curse began it's work of grim reaper in 1897,

Report Heavy Drain
On Whisky Stocks
Some Adopt Quotes
And Refuse to Sell
More Than Received

Because many persons are hoard
ing whisky, District liquor dealers
reported today their supplies are the
lowest they have been in some time.
Wholesalers are supplying the
dealers with their regular allotments,
but the public's demand for whisky,
one dealer said, makes it possible to
sell "as much as we can get.''
A system of daily sales quotas un-
der which all sales end when the
quota has been reached has been in
stituted by a number of stores.
When they reached their quota Sat-
urday, several dealers said, they
closed their businesses and went

Prices Reduced.
Harry c. Weschler. president of
the District Retail Liquor Dealers
Association, attributed the latest
whisky buying spree to the OPA
order reducing prices, which became
effective August 80 The OPA rul-
ing provides for 1914 per cent
markup on whisky, gin and rum over
what retailers pay wholesalers, As
per cent on cordials and so per cent
on wines.
Since prices have been reduced,
Mr.. Weschler said, many whisky
buyers have gone from store to store
to make purchases. and there seems
to be no way of checking this prac-
tice. He said most stores are limiting
purchases to one bottle to customer,
some without regard to size of bottle.
Demand Exceeds Supply.
But despite the limitations that
have been made on sales, Mr..
Weschler said. the public demand is
far beyond the supply of whisky
available.
One dealer expressed the opinion
that the OPA ceiling price is too low
to put well known brands on the
shelf, with the result that dealers
are putting up brands few recognize
