 sity, has been invited by Dr. J. II.
 Breasted, head of the Oriental eXpedf-
 ton of University of Chicago, to ac-
 company him in the excavations he is
 to make this winter along the Nile for
 specimens for the museum. Dr.
 Breasted is the only man in the west

 honor to Dr. Shelton to receive such
 an invitations. Dr. Shelton is well
 two years course in hierogIyphics

Among the comment and questions heard during discussion of the ~situation were these:
 What is the matter with the new ships being built and with those being handed over by the shipping. board to private charterers? Are they being ! duly inspected before being handed 1 over, or before putting out to sea? ! Leaking steamers, besides reflecting on our national shipbuilding efforts, mean damaged merchandise and result | ant lack of confidence n N'ne- '"a''- made goods; such a condition results in l a definite setback to our efforts to build up foreign trade on a perma- l nent basis"
