| BELLE OF THE SEVENTEENTH
DYNASTY.
New York WOrld.)

The beauty secrets of an Egyptian
belle buried $3.50 years ago have been
brought to light by Prof Flinders
Petrie. He has been at work amoung
the ruins of Memphis and Thebes for
six months, one of his greatest
achievements being the partial ex-
ploration of the Temple of Hathor,
whose fame has been modernized in
The Worlds Desire" by Rider Hag-
gard and Andrew Lang. The secrets
of the Egyptian toilet are part Of
the spoils of time he has unearth-
ed.
Among the articles buried with
this beauty of bygone centuries is a
pot of pomatum which still retains
its perfume There are other arti-
cIes whose use will be understood by
the well-groomed woman of today.
There is jewelry in abundance, and
by the aid of Imagination Messrs-
Haggard and Lang would have less
difficulty today in painting female
loneliness of the time of Helen Troy
than they had in their attempt to
recall the vision of beauty to which
the Temple of Hathor was due. Chem
lists will analyze the pomatum; the
toilet articles will be catalogued by
experts and in time will attract a
passing glance from the visitors to
the British Museum.
We read in the news of the day
that China in 1908 sent one hundred
tons of human hair to the United
States, which helps to explain the
luxuriance of tresses, switches, curls
and puffs on the heads of charming
woman and the demands that vanity
still makes for adornment of beauty
The Egyptian belle of the seventeenth
dynasty had so many traits in COM
mon with the women of today that
the centuries that intervene may al
most be disregarded. a

HUNTERS ARE MAKING PROTESTS
At Many Provisions of the State
Game Laws

Several Americas sportsmen-lhen
who really enjoy shooting for the
pleasure afforded. think the proposed
state game law rather drastic in many
of its provisions, and the cooperation
of our members, Representative Shop
pard and Griffin, may be asked to
prevent its passage.
Objections are being raised all
over the state over the proposed
changes in the state game laws. 1t
has been a recognized fact all the
time that these laws needed a change,
but not such a change as the present
bill under consideration makes it.
One unwise section thus proposed is
the requisition of having every non
resident OF the State who wishes to
hunt here to procure license, at the
cost of $15, and residents of the state
to get a license, at the cost of SO.
Under this act a friend who would be
in this state for only a day or two
would be cut out if his
friends here would want to
| take him out for a short hunt. On
the other hand, tourists who come TO
this state always spends great deal
of money, and it would not be wise
to make them pay for little hunt
ing.
Another part of the bill states that
no railroad company can ship game
to any part of the state. This would
prohibit a man from sending his
friends in the state a part of the
game he had killed, To prevent
shipments outside the state would be
all right.
Still another objection is withdraw
ing the month of November from the
open season and leaving the season

MAKE GIRLS LEARN TO COOK
Georgia Legislators Urged to Require
Study of Art in Schools

In an address to members of the
Georgia legislature, the Rev DR..
Broughton, pastor of the largest
Baptist church in Atlanta, urged the
passage of a law requiring girls to
be taught how to cook and to keep
house.
"One of the greatest needs of the
country, especially in the South said
DR.. Broughton, lis for better cook
ing and better housekeeping. The
average wife knows nothing about
either one. The assumes the role Of
housekeeper, as ignorant as wood
rat of such important matters. Peo-
pie eat to live, not for the fun of
it.
I'VE can never develop a race of
brains and bodies until there is more
attention paid to cookery Girls have
no right to marry until they know
something of the greatest of all
sciences-the science of feeding and
cooking. When girls marry they
are not qualified to keep house. They
have to learn, and by the time they
do wreck and ruin has begun.
The remedy for this is a compul-
sorry law making our public schools
teach cooking and housekeeping. The
legislature could do nothing at pres
ent that would do more good than
this. 1t would save our homes and
give us a better race of people"
1t is said that bill will be in
troduced on the lines indicated by
DR.. Broughton.

TO CODlFY THE
CITY ORDINANCES
Necessity for This I'm
pressed on Council.
Committee Directed To
Proceed With
The Work

At last Council has ordered that
the work of codifying the city ordi-
nance anew and putting the city in
a position where it will know where
it really stands be contracted for.
Some months ago the matter was
brought up and referred to the Com
mittee on Ordinances and the City
Attorney, No report has ever come
back to Council from them. Wednes-
day night when it was desired 20
amend the Bond Commission ordin-
ance, which was passed in 1894, there
was considerable delay experienced
in finding the ordinance. Mayor Eel
der took advantage of this opportun-
ity to again point out the necessity Of
getting up new code and printing
it, so that the members Of Council
and other city officials would be able
to really know what the municipal
laws are.
me mayors arguments were irwin
chile and so Council ordered the COM
mittee to go ahead and arrange at
once for the work under the best
terms possible
The need Of new code is ap-
parent every day, not only to city
officers but to lawyers and business
men and others who have occasion to
investigate as to what the city ordin-
ances are on certain matters. The
public will welcome the news thai
some definite steps have really beer
taken looking to the compilation anG
publishing of a code that will. be up
to-date, from which all the dead or
dinances will be eliminated and only
those that are in effect given.

ember should be one of the open
months, and let the season close on
February Is instead of March Is.
For many reasons there should be
no provision requiring a man to have
written permission to hunt ON

avenue for malicious prosecution

outcome of this law, and changes
will be watched with interest.
Many of the proposed changes are
very favorable, and the high-class
