Ancient Rrieka Wei Made.

OF the durability of the ancient
bricks the remains of ancient walls
and courses that go back to prehis-
toric times bear witness. So strong
are the weIl-made sun-dried bricks
that they are found as a foundation
many courses deep, beneath the pom
derous stone work of ancient temples.
The remains of the ancient town, now
known as FL Kab, still exist, with a
wall constructed entirely of such
bricks, still a solid mass. These
bricks now, as in ancient days, are
made with mud from the Nile and
chaff. not straw, but the admixture
was by no means always required, as
the Nile mud differed considerably In
different places. and In second-rate
brickmaking the mixture Of 'tibu" or
chaff was not used. But In great
works, such as the greater wall In
closing the temple group OF Karnak
which was made under the impulse of
the government at the time, this chat
was always used.

Ten Thousand Have Lost Liberty Bonds

ADORE than 10000 owners of Liberty
IVA bonds and Victory notes have lost
their bonds either through theft,
through destruction by burning, or
through some form of carelessness.
The last official figures showed 1858
persons having lost their bonds, Of
whom 6,O38 were holders Of coupon
bonds. These figures are up TO the
close OF the last fiscal year.
For those who have lost their cou-
Don bonds there is little relief. For
those who have lost registered bonds
there is every probability of relief.
Government officials say probably So
100000 coupon bonds still are in the
