scIENcE STUDYING NURIA.

The ancient Nubians, their methods
Of life and the evolution of this his
torical black empire have of late
years been seriously studied by a
number of widely renowned scientists.
The learned men have been acting I'M
der the direction of the Egyptian gov
eminent and for several years an
cient Nubian monuments have been
dug into and the matters discovered
have been tabulated.
Much of the value of the work is
of course purely historical, but the
importance of its findings both for
archaeologists and for the antropolo-
gist is almost without parallel in
work of this kind.
The expeditions into Nubia have
not been performed without much
suffering on the part of the Euro
peans involved. The Nubia of today
lis not rich like the ancient empire in
the days of King Solomon. The eli

public understood pretty well that we
wouldn't offer a car until we knew
1t was right AS a matter of fact
the Six is based on knowledge of the
siX-cylinder art in its highest develop,
ment on two continents.
when the Packard Motor Car Com.
pany decided to build Skies it bought
the best examples it could find in
Germany, England, France and the
United States. And it designed at
least half dozen model, before adopt,
ing the one that was given the Pack,
ard name. That car was tried out in
sixty thousand miles of testing which
penetrated the Rocky mountains and
covered some of the worst roads in
the United States. And yet we were
hardly prepared for the sweeping yer.
dict that followed.
THE Packard Six has the fastest
getaway of any car now on the market
From a standing start it will develop
a speed of sixty miles an hour in
thirty seconds Jump into a car with
me and I'll prove it to you.
Its amazing power, whether run
ming fast or throttled down, is develop
ed without noise 1t maintains its
position as the smoothest runniua and
easiest riding car even at the dizzy
speed of seventy miles an hour The
motor is rated at forty-eight but the
actual horsepower as shown by brake
test is seventy-four. This is brought
about by the superiority of Packard
design We have tried out nearly
every known make of carburetor, for
instance, and we have never found
one that approached the Packard car
buretor in flexibility or in the output
of power that it makes possible. An
explanation of the efficiency of the
Packard motor would include also the
design and size of the valves, size OF
the intake header and intake adjust
ments, size of the exhaust and muller
ignition timing and spark plug adjust
ment, fit on the crank shaft bearings
and pistons, a three point support and
a proper fabrication.
The notable ease of steering in the
Packard Six is brought about by q
large clearance between the springs
and front wheels, affording a most
desirable short turning radius. The

mate, as it has always been, is ex-
ceedingly hard for white men to with
stand, So that it has been only in
the cooler season that much prog
ress has been effected.
The cemeteries seem to have con
tanned most OF the information goth
cred about Nubia and the prehistoric
Nubians. These people lived in what
is now called Upper Egvot and they
we're first cousins of the carly Egypt
ia?1 who were not yellow, but a
black race, contrary to what the av-
erage reader of today believes.
The skulls found in the Nubian
grayeyards show, however, that the
N"r,ans gradually fell behind the
Tk:ptians who, by the infusion of
much new blood taken into Egypt
from Asia, became a much mixed
race and gradually lost the coal black
skin belonging to the early iIhabit-
ants of the Nile valley.
But the Nubians Always remained 2
pure or nearly pure black race Their
skulls according to the reports made
to the Egyptian government by the
British scientists show no widening
that can be compared with the growth
of the human skull in Egypt from
age to age. Still even the Nubian
skull shows some increase in breadth,
due to centuries of evolution on the
part of the black race. The scientists
claim, however, that this improve

The Won Hamm Young Company re-
ports very brisk business in the
automobile supply, repair, and also
sales department. The rush of the
tourist season having somewhat abat-
ed, private owners, as well as rent
drivers are taking the opportunity OF
having their cars overhauled, nuts and
bolts frightened up etc, so as to get
them in shape for the next avalanche
of tourists, which is due to arrive here
on the Manchuria and other steamers.
The car most talked about in the
Won Hamm Young Company salesroom
is the wonderful SIX cylinder Packard.
Even though this car has been on the
market only a few months, already
seven of them have been delivered in
Honolulu, and everyone of the pur-
chasers claim that the Packard Six is
the finest car they have ever rode in,
and it has beaten it's competitors by
a mile.
Mrs. B. NJ Allen, DR.. w. d. Baldwin,
Mr.. C. S. Holloway, Mr.. J. NJ. Dowsett,
Mr.. A. A. Young, Miss Thelma Park
er and Mr. Sam Baldwin are among
the enthusiastic Packard Six owners.
At the present writing the Won
Hamm Young Company have no less
than five more of these wonderful
Packard Skies on the way, four OF
which have already been sold to arrive.
The following open letter has just
been received by the Won Hamm
Young Company, which will give some
idea of the tremendous success which
the Packard skies" have met with
since their introduction.
II wonder if the public realizes what
it means to have placed over one
thousand Packard Six cars in the
hands of purchasers since the open,
ing of the 1912 season" said Mr., JOY
president of the Packard Motor Car
Co., On seven months purchasers
have invested more than five million
dollars in this one model This rec
ord, as applied to high grade six
in the first year of it's appearance
has never been approached in this
country or in Europe.
when we started in to sell the
Packard Six we sold it on Packard
reputation. We had been twelve years

should station policemen right up tc
the door Of the suite Of rooms the
Chief Executive was to occupy for a
brief rest before the dinner.
Then Wheeler asked to be taken tc
the banquet room He axamined il
carefully Suddenly he said
/ Where do those windows lead tor
pointing to two windows high in the
room. He was told they looked out
upon a roof.
Chief he said, you will please
have two policemen stationed on that

As to the public reception before the
dinner, Wheeler marked the spot
where the President would stand, the
position of Major Archie Butt his per
Isonal aide, the members of the officers
of the Commercial Club, and the sta
tions of the secret service men accom-
panying Mr. Taft.
Once more Wheeler examined the
banquet room. He asked for diagram

the night Of the Presidents arrival
This was shown to him. Although the
Commercial Club reception committee
thought it had fixed the seats of every
one who was to attend, it forgot to
allow for Mr.. Wheelers visit. Without
regard to what was contemplated as to
the seating places, Wheeler again ex.
amined the room carefully noted the
location of the windows and suddenly

ing to one of the sides of the room. He
was told that it was of solid brick.
Good" he said, the President will
sit here pointing to a place on the
diagram. Major Butt will sit here,
pointing to another place "At these
three round tables there will be a
secret service man here and here and
here"
II was noted that by this arrange
ment the Presidents back was to a
brick wall, and the widows, even on
the second floor, were in line with
the eyes of the Governments men.
From the hotel the party went to
Convention Hall. At the alley entrance
where the President was to enter the
hall, Wheeler directed Chief Griffin
where policemen should.b placed. He
was also particular that the motor
cars should be headed west
On the Convention Hall stage
Wheeler asked where the table would
be at which the President would stand
while speaking. He then placed four
chairs in separate places, showing
where Major Butt and the three secret
serv' ce men would sit. The route to
the Presidents private car was gone
over and the Chief Executive was con-
structively delivered through its door

How the Secret Service
Protects the President

Those who have seen a President o.
the United States ride through the
streets OF Kansas City or any Other
city probably have noticed the safe
guards thrown around him by not only
the Governments own secret service
men, but by the local police. Govern
ment detectives walk beside the Pres
ident's motor car and are perched
somewhere about the car. The towns
motorcycle police also are near, as
well as many policemen in uniform
and not in uniform Everything pos
sible is done to keep the crank away
from the President.
Those who are on the streets tC
watch the President go by see all
these external signs for protection
but not the work of the advance sec
ret service agent who goes about q
week ahead of the Presidential party
to give directions for every move The
Governments advance agent may
knock the local committees arrange
ments into a cooked hat and make
entirely new ones. What he says
goes.
About a week before President Taft
was due in Kansas City, says the Star
a man dropped casually into the Office
of n. M. Clendening, general secretary
of the Commercial Club. He introduced
himself at Lucien c. Wheeler of the
Government secret service. He asked
Mr.. Clendening as to the detailed ar.
engagements for the reception of the
President from the time of his arrival
until he was again delivered to his
car.
In a motor car Mr.. Wheeler Chief
Griffin and Mr.. Clendening rode to the
Twenty-second street and Grand ave-
nue. station.
"The Presidents train is to stop
here" Mr.. Clendening said, pointing
to a spot opposite the station.
1T won't do at ALL" Wheeler said.
Its too close to that viaducct," point,
ing to the Grand avenue bridge over
the railroad tracks. "The President
must not get off his car that close to
low vaiduct."
1t was arranged that the Presidential
train should back in on a siding. Mr..
Wheeler directed just where the
motor car should stand so the dis
lance from the Presidents car step
to the car should be the shortest More
electric lights were ordered.

fin, then drove over the exact route
the President would follow upon his
arrival Wheeler examined every win
dow along the route and asked ques-
tons regarding the occupants of many
of the buildings. Arriving at the Hotel
Baltimore, Wheeler walked up the
stairs to the second floor just as the
President would be taken. He direct

HOW TO PREVENT MoNoToNY

Women often complain of the mo-
notony of their work, but no expert
ever finds her work monotonous-that
is the lot of the insufficient and dis,
COuraged.
Those laboring under the burden of
uncongenial tasks should use all their
powers to fit themselves for some
thing better, They may have to wait
and to suffer a while, but their chance

will come.
The same applies to the home. A
good housekeeper seldom complains OF
the monotony Of the daily round. the
common task, bur the careless incom-
petent housewife complains all day
long, Let her acknowledge that the
iault lies in herself, and set resolutely
about the mastery of her duties.
Life will have a new interest Tor
her. and she will feel that if things
go wrong and she is forced to earn
her own living, she will have her value
