Defense.

Friends of Prank Lord. whose nomina-
ton by the President as one Of the
members OF the new excise board. - be-
ing fought by the temperance forces.
were busy today attempting to overcome
this opposition.
The objection to Mr.. Lord on the part

given in court proceedings In which MIR.
Lords name was included. and today
his friends gave his side Of the question.
They claimed that proceedings many
years old should not be used at the
present time. and that any steps Mr..
Lord may have taken in the past were
justified by the circumstances.
Declines to Halt Opposition.
Mr.. Lord himself had q talk this
morning with Andrew Wilson. presi-
dent OF the District Anti-saloon
League, who has been the leader in the
opposition to the appointment Follow
ing this conference Mr.. Wilson said
he would continue to oppose Mr.. Lord.

Endeavor Union who had planned to
call on senators tomorrow to protest
against confirmation OF the appoint
ment will not carry out this program,

dent Of the union. Mr.. Holmes said he

JEWEL 1913 YEARS OLD
is DISCOVERED IN EGYPT
Bauble Presented by q Pharaoh to
Court Favorite Attracts At

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star
LONDON. June 25, 1913.
A jewel with wonderful history wal
the feature Of the royal society's con
versazione at Burlington House recently
1t is OF carnelian, lapis lazuli, and tur
quoise. and was made by order of tn,
Pharaoh of Upper Egypt 800 years
before the birth of Christ.
The pharaoh gave it to one Of his cour
favorites. and when the latter died Il
was buried with him in his magnificen,
tomb at Gerzeh. some forty miles away
from modern Cairo. A body-snatcher OF
ancient Egypt broke open the tomb OF
the dead fav0rfte OF pharaoh.
Poetic Justice in Operation.
For once, poetic justice-an institution
which flourished even in Egypt-camt
into operation. The heavy slabs tina,
formed the roof Of the tomb fell on the
thief and crushed him fiat. Then the
wind came. and with it the sand; and
year by year the ruined tomb was buried
deeper, SO that 1t lay for centuries hidden
In the desert.
Last March Prof. Flinders Petrie and
his excavating party found it. The fallen
roof and the crushed body Of the thief
told their own tale, and the excavators
were encouraged to look for what they
knew the thief had not been able to take
away with him. And SO at last they
found the beautiful jewel at which a
court artificer had wrought, perhaps fol
years. fifty centuries ago. 1t was in
spected here with deep curiosity.

ter where you may be / will forgive you,
and If l have said or done anything to

NO PROTEST TO BRITISH

of national flags which marked cele-
form the subject of complaints to the
State Department, though so far moth
ing has been heard from them.
The affair at Winnipeg. Manitoba,
involving the trampling of an Ameri-
can flag at a British parade probably
cannot be made the basis Of an official
protest for the reason that interna-
tional law does not guarantee the pro-
lection OF flags of a foreign country
except where they are displayed over
official buildings.
In the Tucson, Ariz., incident. how
ever, where the flag over the Mexican
consulate was torn down, the State
Department probably will feel obliged
to request the local authorities to
make proper apology and amends to
the Mexican consul, if that can be done
without involving any official recogni-
ton OF the Huerta government, which
appears to be the great apprehension
of the State Department at this juno
ture.
In regard to the trampling Of an Amer
lean flag in Winnipeg, Canada, yesterday
by Canadians who snatched the flag from
the hands of an American who was wav-
ing it as a Canadian regiment marched
by, Senator Bacon, chairman of the for
eign relations committee of the Senate,
said today, THE act was simply due to
the ebullition of an excited crowd"

milton will follow

TUCSON. Ariz.. July 5.-The hauling
down yesterday of the Mexican flag

Ahslie was made today the subject
of report to the Mexican embassy at
Washington. Consul Ainslee also made
a formal protest to Mayor Huffman.
Prominent Mexican residents here
are formulating a protest to be sent
to the State Department at Washing
ton.
The Mexican flag was removed yes
terday and the American banner hoist
ed in it's place. 1t was said today that
small boys made the exchange, en-
couraged by men. The consul asked
creants be punished.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 5.-The ma

terday from it's staff on the roof on

sui general for Paraguay in this city,
had been surprised earlier in the day
by a visit from two men who demanded
that the flag be lowered.
Foreign flags don't go on the Fourth
of July" they said.
Later a housemaid heard a noise on
the roof and saw man hurrying away
with the flag.

WALKING SHOES

Many of the pleasures and much of
the benefit to be derived from walk
ing are married by inattention to the
care of the feet, shoes and stockings
No one can enjoy a walk if the shoes
are uncomfortable or the feet afflicted
with corns and bunions.
The correct shoe for walking should
be stout, yet not too heavy and stiff,
with a medium weight sole and low
heel. There should be plenty of room
for the toes without crowding, but the
shoe should mt the heel A shoe so
broad at the heel that 1t rubs with
each movement of the foot is as un-
comfortable as a shoe that is too
tight

Gray Hair and Sore Toes

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly let me know good
tonic for black hair that is turning gray
Also, can you advise me what TO do Tor
sore feet? have been suffering for some
time with corns and bunions. You VIII
geratly oblige, r. ID. NJ.
The following tonic has been rec
commended:
Sage Tea-Place zone pint boiling
water and an ounce of sage in an
iron pot; allow to stand twenty-fcur
hours and then filter through filter
paper. Dissolve one-half pint pine
tar In one pint water for two days
stirring occasionally, then filter
leaving all the tar behind. Mix the
two liquids and add one pint bay
rum, one ounce tineture cantharides,
two ounces glycerin and ten ounces
distilled water Apply to the scalp
once a day, massaging for ton min
utes after applying the tonic.
If your feet are in pretty bad shape
I would advise you to have them
treated by a chiropodst. There are
several excellent corn remedies on
the market
The best thing I know of is to
soften the corn with vaseline or
some other ointment several nights
in succession and then fling the corn
with q file that comes for the pur-
pose. Wear a pad over the bunion I'M
til the soreness departs. Then obtain
shoes that will not press 1t.
A bunion will hurt as long as
shoe presses 1t. no matter what you
do. Bathing the feet in lukewarm
soda water will help. Hot water
makes them tender,
