The fat man has cause to rejoice.
The thin man is all gloom. The spring
styles are the cause. If your neck is
long, thin, scrawny, size IA, generally
resembling a pencil with an Adams
apple bobbing like a fisherman's cork,
you may put it down in book that you
are unlucky. If your chin and your che
are unlucky. If your chin and your chest
are close friends, and your Adams ap-
pie missing, so far as visibility goes,
and your wife talks of massage treat
ments, you're lucky. Collars a la
mode will be half an inch deep this
season, say the style experts. Mascu-
line styles come from universities,
say the tailors and the undergrades
are wearing them low and loose. In
other details you need not worry.

was very well known to the incoming
president and his advisers, of course.
Even the most regular" of old-line
Republicans must have admitted the
Hoover strength with the people, par
ticularly those of progressive tenden-

er noticeably regular nor distinctly of
the old line. So it is not surprising to
find that the cabinet place accorded
him is one in which he may be ex-
pected to have no very great influence
in shaping the administrations poll
cies. The position at the head Of the
department of commerce is hardly

IN spite of all contrary rumors, Mr..

Scientists 10 Dig Out
Ancient Armageddon
Rockefeller Gives S60,G00 for
Expedition to Scene of Battle
3,400 Years Ago
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO. July 1.-The site of Ar
mageddon, in Palestine, is to be ex-
cavated by an expedition from the Uni
versity of Chicago. This has been made
possible by John D. Rockefeller jr.,who
has donated 100000 to help defray the
expenses.
Unusual interest attaches to this en-
terprise, Armageddon, or Megiddo, is
the site of the first battle Of which
history carries any details. The Book
of Revelation calls it the worlds last
battle.
Dr. George Allen, secretary of the
Oriental Institute at tho University of
Chicago, said to-day:
"It was in 1879 3. c. that one of the
kings of Egypt, Thothmes III, sought
TO extend his domination over Pales-
tine and Syria and to the Euphrates.
For a hundred years his predecessors
Rad had foothold there. The battle
of Megiddo took place in the first cam
paign. Thothmes captured Megiddo,
but it was twenty years before he com
pleted his conquest.
Some digging has already been done
en- the site of this battle by an Aus
trian, but much remains to be done.
The Germans put in thirteen years
work on the site OF Babylon, when they
were stopped by the World War"
