when the special session of the Oregon leg
islature starts action next Monday.
Barge E. Leonard, of Portland, represent
ing the American Legion, which is behind
the movement, and former State Senator

the high cost OF shoes so long
that laugh from them would
almost cause heart failure-I
mean heart failure for those up.
on whose ears the laugh would
fall.
My suggestion In that you in.
duce all the local theatres to
,supecialize on comedy programs.
Feature Douglas Fairbanks

Harold Lloyd and all the rest of
the picture comedians.
For one week eliminate. as
nearly as possible, all heart

roing to be tears, let's make
them come from laughing. Obi.

other body n funny story or Incl.

Egyptian Arts try
so Centuries Old
Adopted For 1920

New York. Jan. 31.-crown jewels
of the Princess -Hathor-Iunut,
daughter of senuseret who ruled
Egypt 40OO years before the time OF
Christ, and which are on exhibition
at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art,
apparently have set a new fashion in
necklaces. brooches and rings for
those who patronize Fifth avenue
shops.
The collection now ON display was
found in the tomb of the ancient roy
atty which was unearthed by Profess
sor w. NJ Flinders Petrie in 1914. Al
though only one blue bead remained
on the sarcophagus as a reminder of
the Egyptian kings daughter, yet the
Jewel casket and contents inside
were found intact. II was recently
purchased by the museum for large
sum.
Among the costly baubles of the
Princess are shining pectorals of the
deepest lapis lazuli and dainty anu
let's Of dark carnelian popular in the
years now lost in the misty past. Her
favorite amethyst necklaces as well
as smaller Jewel cases and ungent jars
are marvels OF artistry and skilled
workmanship.
One cartouche containing the name
of Sat t-Hathor-Iunuts father and, ap-
parently a gift from the king to his
daughter, might have been worn as
a brooch. It consists of symbolical fig
ures of two birds standing on a hero
glyphic base. over the birds heads
are cobra de capellos or hooded SER
pents whose coils form a frame for a
scarab or sacred beetle. Below them
is the figure Of a man kneeling as if
in worship.
New York jewelry shop windows
at present display ornaments Of plat
mum and diamonds patterned after
the designs of some of the Princess
Sat Hathor- Iunut's trinkets. The
craftsmen of the Twelfth dynasty, un-
der the Pharaoh Senuseret, however
have not been outdone in skilled
workmanship by the jewelry makers
Of today, say connoisseurs.

NOONSHINE MAKING

alleged moonshiner, and John d.

their lives in the campaign.
This fight, the most serious in re-
cent years, occurred in the Panther

the Virginia border. Panther creek,

qualities OF their "Corn liquor" Us

and destroying them.
There Is another kind of moon
sinner in that section who is giving
the officers much trouble He makes
his moonshine as quickly as possible,
markets II with the least delay, and
then moves his still to some other
place.
The country is mountainous and
rough with many fertile valleys. These
valleys, the commissioner has discov-
cred. were this year used to large
extent for the growing Of sugar cane,
the high price Of sugar having driven
some Of the old time moonshiners to
producing what they needed for do
mestic and moonshine purposes.
