CURIOUS statue of stone brought

a CURIOUS statue of stone brought
~ recently from Egypt by the Egyp-
tOlogist, DR.. David Randall Mac
Ivar, and placed on view in the archeo-
logical depa rtment of the University of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. Pa, is just
now receiving much attention in the
Quaker city.
Apart from the historic value of the
emhot. scribe of the eighteenth dynasty,
and which was probably hewn from solid
rock about 1000 years before the birth of
Christ, the statue has the charm of being
the most perfect piece of carving that
has yet been unearthed by explorers
DIR. MacIvar's find is not more than two
feet tall.
The figure itself is not remarkable. 1t
represents the scribe in a cow entional
sitting posture. the outstretched hands
with their tapering fingers and the stiff
studied headdress seeming at first glance
to be the only distinctive Egyptian fea-
lures. The power and fascination lie all
in the face. which could only have been
dreamed by a master mind and carved by
a master hand.
1t is sphinx in a Softened mood. the
old mysterious questioning softened for
moment into yearnings. but wrapped as
ever In the mystery and aloofness that
have kept the ages at bay. The statue
fascinates every one alike. 1t excited the
curiosity of the natives who first uncov-
cred it from the drifting sands OF CEN
turtles ad DIR. MacIvar himself fell so
utterly under its strange influence that
until he left Egypt it was kept in Il
prominent place in his own room, and
was the first thing he placed on exhibit
ton here when the big cases of antiques
were unpa cked.
Since a week or so ago, when DIR.
MacIyar placed the statue on exhibit
ton. the museum has been crowded and
the corner where the grave little figure
has been placed is always well filled. Its

IN LABOR CIRCLES

One OF the topics of discussion In labor
circles everywhere In this country is the
prevailing practically prohibitive prices of
certain foodstuffs. The complaint is made
in some trades that while the cost of
living is advancing wages remain at the
old rate.
In a discussion at a local labor union
meeting recently a member was discussing
what he termed 1.-The sympathetic rise in
price of certain commodities" Speaking
of meat prices he said:
THE baron butchers in the west claim
that the sky-high prices of meats are
due to the scarcity Of cattle and the
high cost Of feed. How about fresh fish,
a fine substitute for meat? There are
as many fishes In the sea as have ever
been caught. according to the old adage
and the facts, and it does not cost the
fishermen a penny to feed them. Yet we
find the price OF fresh fish paralleling
that Of fresh and smoked meats.
No" the speaker continued, there Is
no reason for raising the price of fish and
but little for increasing the price OF
ton is made 1t will be found In the last
analysis that the high prices are due al
most solely to mans greed for gold. This
is an age Of gambling. and when the
stake is food, which mankind must have
at any cost in order to live. the game
becomes one in which the winnings are
heavy The penalty for gambling with
human health and life should be made so
heavy that men would not dare to en-
gage in II "
On the same subject the current issue
of the Trades Unionist says:
This high price business Is getting ex-
tremely serious with those of us who
have to sit up nights planning to make
both ends meet. since the price discus
sion began we have been getting all
kinds of reasons for the advance OF but

SUPREME COURT ALLOWS
APPEAL DENIED BELOW
Question Whether Amount at Issue
Permitted Review of Case by
Higher Tribunal.

The Supreme Court of the United States
in an order by Chief Justice Fuller yes
terday reversed the decision of the Court
of Appeals of the District of Columbia
in denying the appeal in the case Of Wa
tiers against Kopp. and ordered that the
appeal be granted and severance be had
between some Of the appellants and the
case removed from the Court Of Appeals
to the Supreme Court docket.
The question involves the validity OF
an assignment Of an insurance policy
upon the life Of John Shea, deceased.
amounting to $4,000, to Maria Waters,
one of his children. 1t was contended by
some of the children that the assignment
was void and that the fund should be
divided among the six children OF the
deceased.
The District Supreme Court held the
assignment invalid and ordered distribu-
ton. The Court of Appeals reversed this
decree and directed the assignment to be
established.
The question arose to whether the
interests of the parties contestlng the
assignment could be summed together Tor
the purpose of reaching the jurisdictional
amount necessary to have the case cen
sidered by the Supreme Court of the
United States, or whether, a share OF
each being less than $50O0. no appeal
would lie, further question being pre-
sented as to whether, the real sum IN
dispute being the validity Of the assign
ment involving the sum of $4,000, that
did not govern as to the amount.
The appellants were represented by At
tornev Wilton j. Lambert and Maria
Waters by Attorney Irving Williamson.

OF WEST TODAY

SITUATION JUST BEFORE THE

years has developed more interest
throughout the northwest that the

DAY at Ann Arbor between Minnesota

undoubtedly one OF the best that ever

them to bring back the bacon this
year.
On the eve of the battle +. I'll. Ritch-
le or the Minneapolis Journal sums UP
the situation as follows:
May Be Surprised.
An battle 1t will be. The VOL

He feels that he has superior organi-
zation and that the victory will be
easier than last year Here they hold

Govern is the whole team. 1t looks
like sad awakening for the wolver-
ines If Johnston and Stevens and Ro-
senwald can get going right.
DIR. Williams has more 70 a belief in
victory than he has ever expressed
previous to big game.
He thinks that this is his best team
since taking up the football work at
Minnesota and the fact that every
man is up on edge and as full Of fight
and courage is highly pleasing to the
gopher leader.
The players believe they will win,
but expect very hard game. They
are not holding the Yost machine at
all cheaply, but think that Michigan
viii fight desperately, especially if
things turn against them bit. But
taking everything into consideration
the boys believe that this is their year
and that they will be the victors when
the struggle is over. Yost's adherents
say that he has had the team under
cover and that he has plays Minnesota

counted by the followers of the goph-
ers They believe that IL Yost had
anything more he would have shown 1t
at Philadelphia as there was as much
at stake in that game as there will

The talk of $50 plays will bring a
smile to Minnesota to those on the
inside as the Minnesota attack this
season makes this appear dwarfish in
a numerical sense. 1t will be battle

as undisputed champion of the east,
but among the great teams in the
history of the sport
If Yale wins, she will have shown a

will mark her 1910 eleven as the
Quickest fighting team she ever put

If Harvard wins, she will only es-
tablish more firmly the reputation she
has been making for herself all sea-
son. Her game has been solid in
fundamentals. alert and ingenious in
offense and rigid in defense. In short,
If her form at New Haven today equals
what she has shown in other games,
and she wins conclusively her per-

Haughton, of st. Paul, the head coach,
that must place him among the mas

Yale always plays her best against
Harvard. Whatever the team has In
1t comes out in the last game of the
season, but there have been Yale
games before this where Harvard ruled
favorite in the betting and paid the
long end Of the money when time was
called for the last half.
Against Dartmouth, Cornell and
Brown this year Harvard has never
been forced to extend herself. She
won with power in reserve and often
