EGYPT: A DIAMOND NINE
OF HISTORY

Egypt annually supplies the world
with a precious product, an increasing
knowledge of the early life story of
the human race. In the wonderful
record of exploration which has re-
stored to us the civilization of the
great p~re-classical nations, there Is no
more remarkable chapter than that
which tells Of the resurrection Of en-
Gent Egypt. A communication to the
National Geographic society by James
Baikie, says:
'The science Of Egyptology, which
Is slowly and patiently re~constructfng
for us the ordered history Of the 5000
years before Christ, enabling us to see
the types of men, the manner Of life,
the forms of government, the religious
customs and beliefs of period after
period, from the very dawn of Egypt
ian nationality. is specifically a growth
Of our own time
"We owe the framework into which
we try to fit the facts Of Egyptian his
tory to the ancient historian, Manetho,
scattered fragments Of whose history
Of Egypt, dating from the reign Of
Ptolemy Philadelphus, In the third cep-
fury b. c., have come down to US in
the works Of various ancient authors.
He recognized 80 dynasties Of Egyp-
tan monarchs, and he left lists Of the
names Of the kings In each Of these
dynasties, together with occasional
notes upon matters Of historical inter

H OF FIRE
FIGHTING

The passing Of the FIRE horses from
Manhattan island and the installation
Of a h~igh-pressure water system in
CINE are further steps In the stage Of
progress from the romantic days Of
the picturesque old hand tubs. Older
folk may remember when citizens
tricked themselves out in red shirts
and glazed caps and carried torches
in the front of a procession, Of formed
part Of the ~bodyguard of the gallant
old tub rs 1t paraded the streets on a
gala occasion. Then passion for fire
fighting ran to a high pitch and argu-
ments were waged about the merits of
particular engines. Today the throbs
of a motor-driven engine are taking
the place Of those heart throbs. The
horses that might have clattered from
their stalls, glided beneath their har-
ness. and raced g%loriously through the
drizzly, night-darkened streets before
the fire-spitting demon, are drawing
farm wagons or blowing the field.
In by-gone days communities were
dependent upon volunteers. and men
from all social ranks gave valuable
time to qualify for the service.
Fire fighting In some sort Of organ
lied form is ancient. Machines for
throwing water from a distance were
known, according to our first clear evil
dence, in the second century before
Christ. Heron Of Alexandria, 200
years before the Christian era, In an
old manuscript which has escaped de-
chine used in Egypt during the time
Of the Ptolemies. 1t was composed of
two brass cylinders resting on a wood.
en- base with pistons fitted into them
in its principles practically like 0
present engine. Like most other
| knowledge, this was lost in the dark
| ages which followed.
The Romans had squads Of men
to carry water in "hamae," or light
vases, to the scene of an outbreak
where it was projected onto the fire
bysthose In charge Of the "~siphones'
or hand pumps. The precise nature
| Of this instrument has o been deter
mined, but from specimens found IN
excavations it must have been much
like the old-fashioned syringe used BY
gardeners. These large organizations
Of men gave the Roman authorities
trouble by their turbulence. Tra1an,
the Roman emperor. and Pliny, al that
time n Of his governors. had long
and serious correspondence over the
advisability Of organizing fire depart
ments in the cities under Pliny's Juris-
diction. leading to the conclusion that
such groups would attain sufficient
strength to Sc a menace to the gov
eminent.
Mention Is made Of the medieval
use Of forcing pumps on fre engines
at Augsburg in 1918. England and
the countries Of the continent were
using hand sQuirts and syringes q
this time. America took her idee1

MULTNOMAH COUNTY TO
WITHHOLD DOG LICENSES
PENDING TEST OF LAW

PORTLAND. Jan. 3.--No more state
licenses for dogs will be issued in
Multncmah county until there has
been judicial opinion on the constitu-
tionality of the law requiring a state
as well as city license. In accordance
with this decision a sign was posted
In the county clerks office yesterday
Informing dog owners that the county
did not want their money at present.
District Attorney Evans is framing
n test case to try out the law before
further assurance of licenses is made.
The state license is 80 for females and
81 for miles. With the license the
county clerk must furnish leather
collar. The collar costs the county
clerk SO cents and is of utilitarian
rather than ornamental nature, wholly
unfit for the average pet who Graves
an ornate collar with polished metal
"doodads."
The license number is stamped on
the collar. making it almost impera-
tive that the state collar and none
other be worn by the licensed dog.
