every phase Of ancient Egyptian ar
tistic and industrial life.
Preparation for Death
The climate and the quality Of
the soil on the terrain Of Egypt are
excellently suited to the purposes Of
preservation. Since Egypt once had
the distinction Of being at the bot
tom of the sea, its soil retains salts
and chemicals which in their native
element build up resistance to dis
integration. Even so, the ancient
Egyptian would be as much of an
unknown equation as the average
North American Indian of a similar
period we're it not for the fact that
when the Egyptian died he preferred
to do so with all possible flourish,
and began rather early in life to
make arrangement for the preserva-
ton Of his flesh and bones.
We may assume that after an
Egyptian had salted away enough
Of the worlds goods to preclude the
possibility Of want he Immediately
became obsessed with the desire to
build his tomb. Forthwith he called
up the latest catalogues on the sub
iect and pored over them in the hope
Of finding tomb that would set him
off to advantage. Often nothing
would do but that he must design
his own tomb.
Original TUists
In trying to outdo his neighbors
he contrived to give original twists
to the boiler plate designs, and he
then began operations on a scale
accommodated to his pocketbook.
The size of some of these tombs sug-
gests q process in involuntary bank
ruptcy, but of this there Is no rec
ord. Finally the Egyptian laid him.
self down to die, having first taken
the precaution, as Herodotus aifirms,
to have his bones picked in brine for
ninety days from the date of his
death.
Such is the tomb Of Perneb. It
Is the biggest thing in the museums
Egyptian rooms, occupying some
four or Ave hundred square feet OF
space in the main corridor. Perneh
we may understand to have been
an Egyptian gentleman Of parts,
holding office under the king at
Memphis more than $500 years
ago. or in 1850 B. C. When he
had reached the station OF "Com-
panion to the King" be felt strange
sense OF something ailing him. which

NOTED JUMPER WILL
PREPARE ARMY TEAM

New York, March ao-Plstt Adams,
the former n. Y. A c. athlete, who
is doing Y. NJ. C. A. athletic work
in France with the A. E. F., has
been appointed coach and trainer of
the United States army team which
will compete in the interallied games
near Paris against twenty-one other
countries early in June. These games
promise to be of greater magnitude
even than the Olympic games in which
Adams made an international reputa-
ton as a Jumper.
Several other Y. NJ. c. A. athletic di-
rectors have been assigned to train
the athletes Of the other countries. so
it is likely that many of the teams
entered in the big international event
will be coached by American athletes.
Harry F. Graff. OF this city, who has
been doing Y. NJ. c. A work in France
and who managed the recent tennis
tournament at Cannes, has just re-
turned. He predicts that the inter
allied games will be the greatest
athletic meet ever held in the history
Of sport.

have no fear of getting past in every

KIlbane's determination that he is
not a has-been and that his first ef-
fort to come back was labeled a
failure was born of the caustic criti-
cism which was hurled at him. frankie
Brown was schooled and pointed for
that one bout. He had strength,
vigor, and excellent judgment of dis
tance and had been in real practice.

Mad Cody claims the middle-weight
title by virtul of his win over Turner

has posted a forfeit against the mid

GOLF PROGRAM BEING
e MADE OUT FOR YEAR

DR.. Walter S. Harlan, chairman of
the green committee Of the Column
bia Country Club, returned from
Palm Beach last week and is now
making out the clubs golf program
for the year. Nothing definite has
been done as yet. however, as the
doctor wants to call a meeting of
his committee and at the present
time is unable to scare up" a
quorum.
One of the most important ques-
tons to be taken up by the green
committee is that which relates to
the acceptance of the Middle At
lantic Associations championship
tournament which was tentatively
assigned Columbia on June 5. 6 and
:. On account of Dr. Harban's alb
sencc. the delegates from Columbia
did not feel that they were author
lied to absolutely accept the as
siGnment of this sectional titular
event. As a matter OF fact, there
IS hardly a chance that Columbia
will decline to accept and the green
committees action will probably be
merely the formal one of saying
yes"

TY COBB, UNSIGNED,
MAY QUIT BASEBALL

Augusta, Ga, March 3o.-Will Ty
Cobb play baseball this year?
When the question was first asked
upon Cobb's return from France. the
reply Of the fandom was in affirm
ative. despite the Georgia Peachs
declaration that he was not so sure
about it,
But now with the Tigers making
ready to quit the training grounds at
Macon, where Cobb is conspicuous by
his absence, the matter is not being
disposed of so lightly.
The Detroit star reiterated here to-
day he has not decided whether ne
will affix his signature to the con-
tract sent him in January and that
the chief reason is that he has not
made UP his mind whether he will
play ball at all this season.
He intimated, however, that his de-
cision. one way or the other, would be
made up within the next few days.

MAY Get over
All Men Who Saw Service
Eligible for Inter-Alhed
Games.

New York. March 3O.-Any officer
or enlisted man who served in the
allied military forces between Au-
Eust 4. 1914. and November IL, 1918.
Is eligible to compete in the Inter-
alIieu Games to be held in Paris
me-. June. according to cable ad-
vices from Gen. Pershing to the
Amateur Athletic Union yesterday.
The message emphasized the fact
that eligibility applied equally to
men now in service and those dis
charged.
Gen. Pershing thanked the union
for its offer of cooperation in the
tournament and asked its assistance
in disseminating information re-
garding the event to potential par
ticiIants.
Secretary Ruben stated that the
union would begin preparations i'm
mediately to cooperate with the
military officials in developing Of
the American end of the contests.
Efforts will be made to secure a
comprehensive idea Of the program OF
events and with this as a basis every
athletic club and training camp will
be requested to furnish the names of
such eligible athletes as may warrant
special instruction and training.
while the A. A. L. has no funds
available for the transporting of a
team Of athletes to France. It Is be-
lieved that there will be no difficulty
in securing. by popular subscription or
other methods. a sum sufficient to pre-
pare the best of available material,
especially if the men could be taken
to France on a transport.
There are number of highclass per-
formers still with the American
forces abroad and these, augmented
by those who might be selected from
the eligibles now in this country.

could hold fits own against the lead

MATTY WARMING UP
AGAIN FOR GIANTS

Gainesville, Fla, March So-whfIe
John McGraw would make no predic-
tons, It is likely that Christy Mathew
son, once peerless Of pitchers, will not
be an inactive coach with the Giants
this season, but rather a regular
pitcher and possibly one with a win
ming record. Matty tried out his we'll
seasoned soupbone yesterday, and
while he did not exert himself at any
time he possessed such remarkable
control and got by the labor so easily
he believes maybe there is a lot Of
strength in his right arm yet.
1t has been three years since Matty
has made any serious effort to pitch.
He did not take the box once last
year, and the season before he tried
only one game early in the year and
then gave IL up as a bad Job. He
thinks that the long rest has strength
ened his arm and that with proper
nursing it can be brought back into
somsthing like old-time condition.
