say RAMEsEs /
WAS A FRAUD

London. July 3l.-Egyptologists claim
they Nave discovered that aameses II
was a fraud and that ne is not entitled to
the appelation OF Great" which histori-
ans have given him.
Recent explorations. It Is stated. have
developed the fact that the many temples
and monuments bearing his name and
therefore supposedly his work. existed a
thousand years before him. The ex-
plorers believe the king was vain and
caused his name TO be cut everywhere.
Prof. Naville. one sof the official ex-
plorers of antiquities In Egypt, had this
TO say about Rameses
THE more we discover about Rameses
the more convinced we are that he was
a fraud. He was not great In any way.
but his vanity was colossal To satisfy
this he conceived the notion OF causing
his name TO be inscribed on every tenn
pie, statue and monument that he imag-
ined would stand the test of time. The
plan succeeded only too we'll for many
years. In consequence of IT, explorers
united I'm deciding that ne must have been
a great king. Now we are beginning to
find out about him"

funniest farce comedy produced in Amer

fairly shouting with laughter from the
time the curtain rises on the first act un-

lightful feature about Keith's this week
is that II is so amazingly cool, One

makeup and his dialect is excellent, and
altogether he scores genuine hit that

than Helen Reimer's portrayal of Cora
Bell, the burlesque actress. has been seen
on the local stage for many day. When
she makes her appearance ready for a
morning drive and wearing the most ell
aborate decollete evening gown. the au-
dience simply laughs itself tired.

PHYSICALLY
DEeEMEhA7EO

London, July H-Addressing the Brit
ish Medical association, now in session at
Exeter, DR.. Davy pointed out the danger
to the nations health owing to the chang
ed habits of the last half century, which
had led to marked muscular degeneration.
The extended use OF machinery. the ten
dency to abandon rural for urban life ana
the facilities for travelling without exer-
ton he said, were among the causes.
The love of athletic games, DR.. Davy
declared, was perhaps as strong as ever,
but the people, instead of sharing in the
games, were content to watch few ex-
perts Hundreds of thousands paid gate
money to watch cricket and football
games. but they never played themselves.
while some of the manifest exercises, such
as wrestling, boxing and fencing, were al
most extinct.
1t was much the same with the rich
mans sports. Instead of tramping the
moors to shoot game the shooters sit at
ease while the birds are driven within
reach of the guns. DIR. Davy insisted upon
the necessity for universal physical cul-
ture to check degeneration.
In the same newspaper giving report
of Dr. Davy's address there appears u
summary OF the experience of tradesmen
that the energetic taking up by girls OF
athletic outdoor games was making their
hands and feet larger. The tiny sizes or
