SWALLOWS JEWEL LANDS IN HOSPITAL Young Armenian Fails in a Clever Ruse 'in Cairo Jerusamel, Feb ~Artin Gre rarian, twenty-six years old and hailing from Armenia, seuntered into a jeweller"s shop in Cairo at about ten o'clock on a morning and expressed a desire to 27 buy a few valuable rings and loose | stones. He was handed three rings of about $1,500, for inspection, Just then another customer en- tered the shop and the jeweller left the first comer to attend to the lat- ter, After a few moments the Ar- menian returned both rings and gems and, saying he would be back again later, was about to leave the shop. To his surprise, the jeweller found one of the stones back to him was an imitation, Appeals to the young man to re- turn the original stone and not to compel the proprietor to call in the police elicited indignant protests from the Armenian, who stoutly declared that nothing was ever further from his mind than to possess himself of anything not be- longing to him. At that moment, a ring happened to drop to the floor and the jeweller, in stooping to pick it up, managed to lock the door. This caused & crowd to col- lect outside and a policeman, at- tracted by the commotion, came to find out what had happened. The Armenian's person was examined, but no trace was found of the missing gem. But the officer did not give up so readily and had to recourse to serious remonstra- tions. At that the Armenian made the astonishing confession of hav- ing swallowed the gem, The Armenian is now in a hospi- tal, where efforts are being made to bring the stone to the light of day.

ICELAND NOW INDEPENDENT CANCELS PACT WITH DENMARK Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb. 26. ~All parties in the Iceland Parlia- ment bave agreed to the desirabil- ity of cancelling the present treaty of personal union with Denmark, thereby obtaining complete inde- pendence, The movement is partly due to Iceland's wish to have her repre- sentatives abroad under her own control. Iceland is united with Denmark by a personal bond of union unuer the government of King Christian X. As far back as 1581, Iceland together with Norway, came under the rule of the Danish kings. When Norway was separated from Den- mark in 1903, Iceland remained under the rule of Denmark. Since December, 1918, it has been ac- knowledged as a sovereign state and is united with Denmark only thraugh the identity of the sover- eign. (INDIAN ARTS FINE DISPLAY Interesting Insight Into the Lives of Early Indians on Show (By Canadian Press) Montreal, Feb, 27.--A fine exhi- bition of native art, including handiwork of Aborigines and of modern artists, was held here last week. The Indian exhibits include wood-carving, painting, textiles and jewellery that are very fine exam- ples of the Aboriginal art of this country and disclose a more advanc- ed culture than the corresponding arts of other continents, while the present-day paintings show the wealth of material that they pro- vide for decoration and design. The Indian specimens displayed belong to the collections of the National Museum of Canada, the Royal On- tario Museum of Archaeology, the McGill University Museum and the Art Gallery of Montreal, and the modern artists contributing begin with Paul Kane and thee Indian painter, Fred, Alexee, and include i -- the contemporary Canadian artists. skilfully executed pieces om display. Using the life about them as the source of their subject, they have adapted it cleverly to the medium in which they work, be it wooed, metal or the beautifully woven Chilkag robes, It is interesting to note that the articles on which they have expended painstaking and lov- ing labor are almost entirely things which they used im their daily life.

The Star correspondent found many delegates talking about this suggestion, but its origin was veiled in mystery, The need for Canada was clearly shown in the revision of tne orig- inal draft of the aviation treaty. At first this applied only to the 21 countries composing the confer- ence, As it regulated commercial aviation control, it was at once ob- Sunday | handed { vious that without including Can- | ada, and the other British territor- fes even more so, the whole thing ! became rather absurd. | This objection was met by pro- | viding that any country in the world couud subscribe to the treaty y which desired to do so.
