Both have to be imported, and the same applies to sugar. In addition to taxation there is the freight. For instance. freight rates on north bound freight from east coast South American ports have been advanced effective April 1. The increases, which are general, range between 2o P61‘ cent and 25 per cent. On coffee the rate will be raised to $1.10 a bag from the Q0 cent rate now in effect. The increase was decided upon by the two freight conferences covering the northbound run. These are the Brazil-United States freight conference and the River Plate- United ‘States freight conference_ Southbound rates will be maintained at the present levels through April, according to the River Plate and Brazil Conference which deals with freight rates on this run. iilfl Financial Minister Ilsley told the House of Commons that the total of Canadian bond issues since the outbreak of war was $1,506,045,164_ In Yekiilnll figures showing effects of the war on Canada's finances, the Minister estimated that total volume of money in Canada likely is more than 2o per cent. above ‘the pre-war level. The bond issues were classified as follows: public, 362945.164; sold to chartered banks, $490,960,- °°°? 5°l<fl 1° Batik 0i Canada. $339,040,000. Bond redemptions by the Dominion since the war be- gan totalled $576,301,644. In addition to the to- tal of redemption given, the Government has arranged to purchase Grand _Trunk Railway four per cent. perpetual consolidated debenture stock that the British Government had vested from owners in the United Kingdom. This stock was outstanding in the amount of $109,579,000 at current rate of exchange. Gilt There is a levelling down process going on all right in the Old Land. One of the 18 mannequins to display the British Fashions Collection at lluenos Aires and Rio de jaileiro in April is Miss Rosemary Chance, niece of Lord Willingdon who was the leader of the trade mission to South American countries. At the moment, Miss Chance is recovering from the effects of inoculation for the trip. She has'jtIst completed a six months’ nursing course at St. Luke's Hospital, Chelsea, when she was asked to jiiiil the party of mail- ueqtiiils who are sailing for South America tu- wards the end of next month. On St. George's Day 77 models. which are being executed in dup- licate exclusively for South America by nine London designers, will be shown simulanteously in the capitals of Argentina and Brazil In each city officials from the Department of Overseas Trade with long experience in exhibitions will have a stage erected, arrange flowers and lighting, engage an orchestra and sellers of the special pro- grams. ‘NOTES BY THE WAY The i-p-hulldlng of Canada's Navy ls BS:EIILIBI t) national " ‘ It should have been undertakm. years ago, F;r neglect in tint regard the peapfe sf Canada as tvcll as b.1911‘ legislators must adm t resparrsm llty.

The idea so preyed on the mind of Westbury’: husband that he ended his llfe ten years ago, savhm that he "could stand no more horrors." 1-lls son had dled unexpectedly the year before after doing e. good deal of excavarlon near the royal place of burial. The young Pharaoh rested uri- dlsturbed 1n his sarcophagus for thirty centuries, until an expedi- tion led by Lord Camarvon and Howard Carter explored the vault and revealed to the world a collec- tion of priceless object-s of atlclem art. Museums everywhere com- peted for o. share in ;he treasure. most of which remains in Egypt. Before long one or two promi- nent persons who had been active in unearthing the tomb, died. among them Lord Carnavon, who was bitten by a poisonous insect. As other tourists who had been ln Egypt expired from various causes a legend arose that. workers had found a. curse inscribed tn the sarcophagus threatening all who invaded the royal rest. Although Dr. Jams H. Breasted. the Egyp- tologlat, who had spent two weeks in the tomb. said there was no curse, the idea appealed so strongly to an imaginative public that the supposed death roll mounted to nearly thirty. Some of the con- nections were tenuous ln the ex- treme. One man died of Rout at sixty-seven. Another. whose llfe ended ln Switzerland. had never been ln Egypt but said he might some day go there and make on X-ray of the mummy. So much ingenuity was spent in keeping this desert fantasy nltve that many persons believe it to this day. The fact. that Lady Westburv lived to be eighty-four and that. others who were supposed to have come within range of the dead Pharaoh's curse passed from such widely different causes as unre- qulted love. motor accident, assas- sination and “a mysterious ma.- ' v a slight. dent In o . _ of the Far East, and the British are now ready at. that point. for; any emergency that may develope !
