THE HARENS Of
ANCIENT EGYPT
ARE TOLD ABOUT
BY James Baikie in a Commu-
niCatiOn to the National
Geographic Society.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-what
was probably the first 5dfiragette plot
In history is described by James
Baikie in a communication TO the Ma
tional Geographic Society, at Wash
ington, d. c., summarizing the more
recent explorations and excavations
in Egypt which have done much to re-
veal the history of an ancient world
power.
I'VE have a very full record of the
process against certain ladies of the
harem Of King Ramesee III of the
twentieth dynasty, which exhibits the
harem intrigue In all its familiar fea-
lures" writes Mr.. Baikie. Officials
Of the harem are bribed, messages are
sent out TO officers of the troops from
the secluded ladies', inviting the help
of the army to overthrow the king
and set up a pretender, and the re-
sources of witchcraft are called in to
insure the success of the scheme. In
this case even the discovery of the
plot did not put an end to the machi-
nations OF those concerned. The
judges in the trial were tempered
with, and the result was a highly dis
creditable exposure Of the corruption
of the Egyptian bench as weel as that
of the harem.'
Continuing his discussion Of the po-
sition of women in ancient Egypt, Mr..
Baikie says:
Though there are certain features,
such as their loose idea in the matter
of consanguinity, which shock our
modern sense of morality. the ideas
and practices of the ancient Egyptians
in respect to the position OF women
are remarkably advanced and ration
al, comparing very favorably with
those of the great nations of classical
antiquity. Woman was to the Egypt
ian not the slave of man or the minis
ter of his pleasures; she was his com
panion, his fellow-worker on very
equal terms, often his adviser. not in
frequently his ruler.
There existed in the Egyptian
mind 4 sentiment that could almost
be called reverence for womanhood.
particularly in respect OF its great
function of motherhood sentl-
ment which is much more akin to our
modren western view than anything
else that We meet with among ancient
/ peoples. The mother was respected
+ for her supreme share in the life and
upbringing of her children, and for
all the self-sacrifce which is essen
TALLY involved in true motherhood.
and from the very earliest days the
child was carefully indoctrinated
with the duty OF reyerencing and lov-
ing the mother who bore and nour-
ished him. So strong was this sent
ment that on the tombs OF the Ola

INSURANCE MEN MUST BE TRUTHFUL Because Agent Misrepre- sented, Clause in Policy Is
 Stricken Out. INSURED G E IS $344 Victim of Appendicitis Gets Judgment on Policy lnsuring Him Against
 Loss Through Sickness
 or Accident.
INSURED GETS $344

The general belief that no verbal promise or statement not contained in written contract or agreement, when such is made, can be enforced in the courts received a jolt yester- day when Judge J. M. Elliott render ed judgment in favor of plaintiff in the case of Max Schlosberg vs. Amer ican National Insurance company. There were unusual circumstances connected with the case, and it was the consideration of these that led to the court making ruling that will doubtless tend to make solicitors more careful of their statements when sell ing contracts to illiterate people, es- pecially in this jurisdiction.
 Schlosberg sued for $335.4O and costs, passing the action on policy issued by the defendant company and by which it became liable to pay Schlosberg $100 month for time lost through accident or illness. A clause in the policy stipulated that nothing could be claimed for any accident or illness until thirty days after the pol icy had been issued. Schlosberg, how ever, alleged and submitted deposit tions in substantiation of the allega- tion that he is unable to read or write and that the agent who sold him the policy had represented that the bene- fits would be paid for sicknesss or ac cident occurring any time after the issuance of the policy. Within a month Schlosberg was stricken with appendicitis. He made claim, which was refused, the company citing the thirty-day clause.
 In passing on the case, Judge Elli- ott ordered that the contract be re- formed, the thirty-day clause stricken out, and plaintiff have judgment for $266.60, representing the amount due under the policy for time lost; $2S.S0, representing 12 per cent penalty for failure to pay as stipulated in the contract; $50, for attorneys fees and all costs of court. The. defendant in- surance company announced that an appeal will be taken.
 The Divorce Record.
 In the case of Udora Adams vs. Abe Adams, deere was granted on the ground ofscruel treatment, giving plaintiff a divorce and ordering de- fendant to pay to plaintiff $3S5, in satisfaction of any rights she might have.
 Banch Harris was granted di- vorce from Jim Harris on the ground of cruel treatment, and Lula Hughey secured separation from Sam Hughey on the ground of assertion.
