AN OPEN LETTER
To an American Brewer

Dear Sir:
Your trade has come to its dismal
end. You have made money faster
than any other manufacturer; you
; have controlled more useless capital
than any. other man. You have been
fattered by the ward boss, truckled
to- by the politician and worshipped
by some newspaper managers as a
: chief asset in the advertising depart
3 mlent. Even Presidents and Cabinet
:, Members have bowed to your wish !;
secretaries have set aside law as in
4 the infamous Griggs decision, perpet-
uating the Army canteen in the Span
iSh-American War. But this war was
different! We went up against real
Z war this time and had to have clean
men.
The people have found out. They
knew your beer was valueless as a
food, though you advertised it as
sliquid bread" They knew your sa-
looms were hot-beds of iniquity, the
place where the procurer, the white
SLAYER, the slugger hung out. II the
decent people tried to stop the broth
ell, or the gambling hell, you always
stepped in and made it your fight
seeming to consider yourself the big
brother of both those organized
crimes against society. But they die
not know that you inundated candi-
( dates for Office, browbeat officers in.
/. to subservient tools of your interests
purchased newspapers to naisrepre-
sent the facts; subsidized writers tt
nose as unbiased scholars investigat
ing booze with verdicts paid fol

shops where boyeotting would no
make them come under; planted WON

addition, when the war broke out yol

OF ANCIENT EGYPT
Interesting Relics Coming to the
United States.
Expedition Under the Auspices of the
Pennsylvania University Museum
Has Been Highly Successful
in Its Explorations.

Despite handicaps caused by the
war. the Pennsylvania University mu-
scum has acquired many relics I'M
earthed at Memphis by its Egyptian
expedition. A vessel will be char
tered to transport the relics.
The expedition started on its trip
in March. 1915, and continued explor-
atoms until last June, when the short
age of labor and the high prices OF
materials due to the war, caused a
cessation in the work.
A representative of the Roumanlan
government had obtained the conces-
sion of the whole site, but the war in
tervened and the Egyptian expedi-
ton offered the university party the
choice of any portion. An area near
the colossi of Rameses ii was select
ed, because of the discoveries made in
that region by an inspector of an
Equities for lower Egypt. He had re-
vealed what was apparently the room
of a Pharaoh'S palace.
Excavations by the party from the
university museum proved the build
ing to be the royal residence Of Me
nenptah, who ruled from 1925 =. q. to
1915 B. =. The explorers found three
layers of earth, representing the an
cient location of as many civilizations.
A large Roman city had occupied the
site of the topmost layer, underneath
which were large masses OF masonry
belonging to the period estimated to
have been 1920 B. c., and the lowest
layer revealed ruins of the palace OF
Menenptah at a total distance of from
sixteen to eighteen feet below the sur
face level.
The palace, which had been unharm-
ed by the natives, apparently had
been a magnificent structure. Lime
stone was the material used for the
columns and Trainings, while the outer
walls were of sun-dried brick. The
eastern wing of the palace, which was
the first to be eXcavated, contained
magnifcently decorated apartments
where the Pharaoh and his wife Cor
Wives) spent their time.
The section of the palace that
pleased the explorers most was the
throne room. Six columns supported
it's roof, the best preserved having a
base of limestone with q horizontal
band Of inscription laid in pale green
ish blue faience. The lower part of
the column had a row of sepals in
relief springing from broad band of
gold. Between the tips of the sepals
were large lotus flowers inlaid in "a
fence.
Panels, showing a procession OF
Nile gods, bearing vases of water to
the Pharaoh, and gilded. relief figures
of Menenptah, were prominent fea-
lures of a massive doorway that was
unearthed.
Elaborate colored stucco pavements
walls and small papyrus columns
red, yellow, and blue being the cOlors
of the principal patterns-formed some
of the striking interior relief features
of the royal residence.

peace negotiations are concluded the
government is planning an educational
service corps to give them quick and
intensive special training to fit them
for civilian employment. Courses OF
instruction will cover industrial and
commercial organization, banking, in
surance and accounting. A correspon-
dence bureau will form part of the
scheme. although most of the work of
instruction will be done by staff of
lecturers.

1t is a great thing to do what the
One Who is supreme and loving tells
us to do. Our poor human minds are
prone to reason and question; and We
are so fearful of the advice of erring
men that we hesitate to do as they
suggest. What we want and what we
know we want is divine Leader who
will carry us by His will Der moor

that He can make no mistakes. The
Christ is such leader and to follow
Him means not only peace for our
selves, but final salvation for the
world. How direct and clear are His
commands! There is no doubt about
what He would have us do, and in the
doing of it we find knowledge and
strength. ITO do the will of Jesus,
this is rest!"
