Signora Carnera related several anecdotes about Prime and gave a brief story of his early life.

The boxer weighed 12 pounds when he was born and before he was three years old he turned the scale at 30 pounds:

"He always had a terrible ap petite," said Signora Carnera, "and in those days when he was a lad, we were badly off. Our house passed under Austrian oc- cupation during the war, and little Primo was extremely difficult for

"If we sent Primo to the Baker to get the family's bread, it was certain thing that the great hungry boy would help himself to a loaf or two while bringing it home. Nor could we blame him, for we were all under-nourished in that terrible time."

Signora Carnera then related how Primo emigrated to France, joining a travelling weight-lifter and wrestler. circus failed and. Primo found himself without a job,

It was then that the Frenchman Monsieur Lungau offered him work in his carpenter's shop.

Touching the question Of Primo's French naturalization Mrs. Carnera stated that this was one of the most painful episodes of her life.

"You cannot imagine how the news of Primo having taken out French naturalization papers up- set me. I would have preferred to see him dead. Fortunately the thing has come all right now, and It is clear that someone took ad- vantage of my son's ignorance of such matters and traded on his simple good nature."

The Carnera family is an old established one in the Friul dis- trict, much respected and looked up to by the inhabitants of the village of Sequals.

The Carnera house is frequently visited by strangers, "attracted by the legendary fame of, the giant, boxer United Press:

WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.

LOCAL NEWS, CHINESE NEWS. and all the NEWS.

The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Hoine.

Currency continues to form the principal topic in the Colony, and although there has been a very slight rise in the dollar the movement in favour of stabilisation is gain- ing in force. Two important Chinese Banks have closed their doors, whilst there have been runs on other two pro minent Chinese Banks. The week's developments are fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,

The subject of the flush system of water closets has been fully discussed by the Sanitary Board, the opinion of the China Mall being quoted by the Chinese leader of the debate. A concise report of the discussion and deci- sion is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The last page has been closed of the tragedy on board the ss. Tanda on a recent voyage from Australia when a Chinese cook was killed by a Japanese passenger. The latter was tried at the Asize and found guilty of man- slaughter, a verdict with which the Puisne Judge dis agreed. The trial is fully reported in the OVERLAND CHIŅA MAIL.

Deep appreciation of the response made by the public of Hong Kong to the appeal by the local branch of the Navy League on behalf of the dependants in the Sepoy naval disaster-following the first suggestion of a public fund made by the China Mail is contained in a letter received from Admiral Sir Arthur Waistell, Commander-in- Chief of the China Station by Mr. A. L. Shields, President. This letter and others in a similar strain are.reproduced in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Much interest is being taken in a claim instituted by Messrs. Andersen, Meyer & Company against the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotel in connection with the Ice Cream Hardening Room and other creamery machinery installed at the Peninsula Hotel and also for a refrigerating plant installed at the Hong Kong Hotel. The amount of the claim is $25,385.20. Defendants are counter-claiming for alleged damages suffered as a result of the alleged unsatisfactory working of the plants. The proceedings are fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

As usual local sports are dealt with by experts, forming an intelligent guide to friends outside the Colony.

There is no phase of the life of the Colony or of China that does not receive attention in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL -- the weekly paper that YOU MUST ÖRDER NOW.
