Historical Relics
 Found by Explorers

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 27-The museum of the University of Penn sylvania tonight made publich re- port from pr. Clarence s. Fisher, leader of the Eckley B. Coxe, Jr., expedition to Egypt, in which he tells of what appears to be the dis covery that Meremptah had in his palace at Memphis an archaeological museum something like those of the present day. Meremptah was the son of Rameses the Great, and by many is identified as the Phar- aoh of the oppression, as described in the Book of Exodus
 The palace was discovered early in the present year, the report said. It was large and elaborately deco rated, but at some time was de- stroyed by fire, traces of which are abundant. The palace was about 180 feet long and 100 feet wide and contained about twenty rooms The throne room was a magnificent chamber of about 50 by 40 feet. Tn describing this room the mu- scum announcement stated that "it is probable that this throne room, if net th' eGme one is similar to the one in which Moses and Aaron confronted the Pharaoh demanding that the people of Israel be per mitted to go& The authorities in Egypt admit that a great dis coyery has been made"
 In the throne room were found gold ornaments, scarabs vessels for various purposes and vases The most interesting find, the report stated, was a collection of relics partly of the stone age and partly of the Sixth Dynasty (about 45OO B. C.) indicating that Meremptah was collector much like modern men or nations. The stone imple- m"nts included knives, razors, sick les and arrow heads.

MOVING PICTURES-THE PIED PIPER.

thrown into the discard, and so her
name was scratched off the studio
list.
At the end of the month, she was
so discouraged that she went to
the office She had deserted and
asked for her position back again.
A wiser and cleverer girl than she
had taken her place and she was
without a position for several
weeks.
This girls experience in the pic
ture world has made her restless
and unhappy-the walls of the Of
flee will always be cubbyholes to
her. the typewriters laundering
bugbears, the letters stacked up
hopelessly drab and uninteresting.
But she will have to stick to this
work as long as it is necessary for
her to support herself, for she has
not made good in pictures and
never could. These lessons, girls,
are the dregs in the sparkling wines
of experience.
So you who hear the call of the
studios cover your ears until you
are ready to listen to it. hide your
eyes until you can see the pitfalls,
and Be sure of landing place be-
fore you leap.

Frozen Desserts.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL


Summer is at hand and with II always
comes desire for cooling desserts. This
desire is not hard to satisfy II the cook
or housewife has on hand good recipes
for Ices and Ice creams and one or two
good freezers. Two are suggested, one
a very small one, that freezes perhaps
only pint. pint OF ice cream can
be frozen-from the time Of mixing the
ingredients to the time OF finishing the
final packing OF the freezer-in about fif-
teen minutes, and II makes a simple des-
sert Of sliced peaches, OF berries or of
baked apples a real treat The larger
freezer, which is naturally more difficult
to manage, can be reserved for days
when ice cream is used as the main des-
sert instead of as a garnish.
An ice shaver is a good implement for
preparing the ice with which the freezer
is filled. pick can be used II a shaver
Is not at hand. Or the ice can be broken
with pick into large pieces and put in
ourlap sack and then pounded to bits
with a hammer
Use three times as much ice as salt
always use the coarse ice cream salt for
ice creams. For ices, when the graIr,
need not be so fine, use twice as much
Ice as salt When packing the freezer
after the Ice or cream is frozen use four
parts OF Ice to one Of salt
For desserts that are frozen In moulds
without first putting them in a freezer
use four parts OF ice to one Of salt, and
let them stand for four hours before
serving. Let Ices and ice creams stand
for two or three hours, If possible When
Ice cream is made in the little freezer
and Just used as a garnish It can be
made Just before il is wanted THE re-
duces its expense, as only enough ice for
the freezing process need be used
Remember that the mixture to be froz-
en- must be little sweeter than a des-
sert not to be frozen. as the sweetness
is not so apparent after freeinzg. Other
haVors, too, must be stronger. as they
too are not SO strong after freezing
When packing a mould place a sheet
Of waxed paper over the top before put
ting on the cover. This helps make the
mould watertight.

Publishers should be fairly lucky

Editors have the representation of

r AM now surely convinced that

r AM now surely convinced that
the Pied Piper of Hamelin
must have whispered to the
children that if they followed him
around the bend of the road he
would get them all positions as
moving picture actors and actresses!
And that if he came from the hills
with a proposition like that today,
not only would the children tag
close to his heels, but thousands
and thousands of grown-ups, all
eager to see themselves as others
see them, dancing in black and white
upon the screen.
Old ladies, young ladies, fat la
dies and thin ladies, cross ladies
and goodnatured ladies, elegant la
dies and shabby ladies-in fact, la
dies of every kind and description
write to tell me they are ambitious
to enter the movie field and become
stars of stardom upon the terra
firma of studio stage.
Some, l think, are very foolish,
especially when they confess they
already have high-salaried positions
where they are plying professions
they studied for many years.
But when we think of how much
fun moving picture actresses have"
is the general singsong OF their let
tiers, I'VE resent being cooped up in
an uninteresting, four-walled office.
Just imagine having to look at
desks and typewriters during the
long summer daysl Why, if we
were only moving-picture actresses,
we could spend them in the coun-
try, idling around until we were
called for a few hours of work
Please, Miss Pickford, tell US what
we can do to become moving-pic-
ture actressesw
One of the girls who had been
reading my advice to the thou
sands who write me thought l had
been unfair when l warned girls
to keep away from the studios I'M
less they were willing not only to
work hard, but were sure they
had talent and would be of pho
tographic value on the screen.
This little girl gave up her posi-
ton as stenographer in an office
where she had worked for over two
years, and spent her scanty savings
in wardrobe which she felt must
be necessary to gain an audience
with the casting directors. Some
one had told her that only the pref
ty girls and the well-dressed girls
are noticed and given a chance.
Then she came to New York and
took cheap room in a boarding
house for a month. At the end Of
the month, she had tramped from
one studio to the other, and had been
employed only a few days for extra
work. Those were the despicable
mob scenes which she had always
thought she would be able to avoid. !
But due to her lack OF experience,
when she was given a chance even
in the foreground of a large cafe |
scene, she forgot everything else in !
her ambition to be looked at by the |
appraising eye of the camera.
When the scene was shown in the !
projecting room, there she was, con- |
sciously staring out at the audience. |
Because Of her mistake, it meant |
that the scenes taken had to be
