CULTURE HERE BEFORE 1892,
Did Americas Pre-Columbian CiviIlza-
ton Come From Egypt is
Now Question.

Prof. Elliot Smith developed in an
interesting manner the
thesis that the pre-Columbian civiliza-
tions of America-or at least many i'm
portant features in those civilizations
were not truly aboriginal, but came
in cultural wave from Asia across
the Pacific ocean, the original starting
point of the most remarkable charac'
teristic being Egypt.
Professor Smith believes, says Sci
ence Progress, that the extremely pc
culiar culture of Egypt was spread
eastward by mariners, mainly Phoeni-
clans, for several centuries after B. G.
800. To quote the authors own words,
he thinks that "the essential elements
of the ancient civilizations of India
(the pre-Aryan civiliZations), further
India, the Malay archipelago, Oceania
and America were brought in success
sion to each of these places by mari
ners, whose oriental migratiOns began
as trading intercourse between the
eastern Mediterranean and India some
time after 800 B. c., and that the
highly complex and artificial culture
which they spread abroad was derived
largely from Egypt (not earlier than
the twenty-first dynasty), but also in
cluded many important accretions
from other sources, and that after ira
versing Asia and Oceania and becom-
ing modified on the way, the stream
finally continued for many centuries
to play upon the Pacific littoral of
America, where it was responsible for
planting the germs of the remarkable
pre- Columbian civilization"

RAILROAD MEASURE UP
STOCKHOLDERS TO BE GIVEN 5.32
PER CENT YEARLY.
President May Reiinquish Systems Be-
fore July or Hold Them for
10 Months.

Washington, Feb. 9. Chairman
Smith of the senate interstate COM
merce committee in reporting favor
ably to the senate the administration
railroad bill, estimated that under the
measures provisions the government
will guarantee annually to the rail-
roads $945, 100000, which will represent
return of 532 per cent. This, he
says, reflects neither poverty. nor
riches but the committee believes a
majority of the railroads will accept
"these terms as just and fair meas
ure of their constitutional rights"
You committee is of the opinion
that this is the time for war emer-
gency legislation, and not the time to
settle controversial questions concern
ing our future transportation policy.
Chairman Smith said in prefacing his
report. He then took up the compen-
sation section. and added
about 70 great operating railroads
do over 90 per cent of the railroad
business. The committee believes that
HltDSl vi lIItSt Sltdl IAN Odi NSi ~ -
will accept these terms as just and
fair measure of their constitutional
rights. Section 1 further provides that
ordinary taxes, national and state
shall. as now, be paid out of operating
revenue but war taxes accruing under
the act of October 8 1917, are to he
paid by the companies out of their own
funds, or charged against the stand
ard return. In other words, the hold
ers of railroad securities are to Deal
their own Just portion of the war bur
den."
The committee recommends, the re
| port says. that improvements made by
the government while the carriers are
under government control should go tt
| the railroads when they are returned
| to the security holders.
This should be arranged through al
agreement between the carriers ant
the president.
Discussing the provision inserted b!
the committee, providing for thu
termination of government control Il
months after the war. the report says
"There is also a provision to the eff
feet that the president may, prior t
July l next, relinquish control of sucl
transportation systems as he ma,
deem not needful or desirable. ans
may. thereafter, on agreement relin
quish all railroads at any time whel
| he shall deem such action needful o
desirable.

WAYS OF KEEPING YOUTHFUL
Man Who Is Determined Not to Grow
Old Really Has Only to "Make
an Effort"
I see it in my changing hair,
l see it in my growing heir,
My growing thirst for early news
1t is a fact, l am growing old.

It is a fact, 1 am growing old.
And so growing old is just a case OF
finding what ones looking for, observes
the Minneapolis Journal. A man de-
cides that the time has come for him to
be old, and so instead of bracing up,
ignoring the symptoms and finding
some other explanation for the change
in the color of his hair, he neglects his
dress, walks with a stoop, uses a cane,
stops taking exercise, eats too much,
INDUCES in "reminiscences, retires from
business, and in general acquires the
foolish habit of growing old.
He should remember that it is posi-
BILE to keep youthful spirit, an active
mind. an interest in current events and
a purpose to serve his fellows, and that
he who does these things will always
be young.
The fact that women generally de-
cline to contract the old-age habit and
that some men have also resisted the
temptation to fall into it would seem
to indicate that if those who do yield
to it would only take the advice of
Dombey to his wife, and make an eff
fort" they would learn how foolish
and how unnecessary it is to grow old.
