CALLS FOR MANY QUALITIES
ArcheoIogist Must Be Scholar, Lineu-
list, Engineer and Artist, and
Expert Handler of Men.

The modern archeologist In Egypt
must be more than a scholar. He
must have studied history, 1t is true !;
he must be familiar with what is
known of the art and life of Old
Egypt and he must have mastered the
ancient language so that he can read
the hieroglyphs carved on temple and
tomb.
But scholarship is only part of his
equipment. He must know something
Of engineering and something of draw
ing; he must have a sense of organi-
zation; he must himself be ready to
turn to with pick and shovel. should
occasion arise.
The task Of disinterring ancient
structures and their precious contents
uninjured is a delicate one, not to be
done hastily or haphazardly.
In addition to being scholar and
engineer, linguist and artist, the mod
ern archeologist must understand how
to handle men. The men employed
In archaeological excavation In Egypt
are usually boys from 10 to 20 years
or age. Older than that, In a country
where men and women age tragieaIly
fast, they are likely to be stupid.
Usually they are irresponsible and
spurred on by the light-fingered IAN
tika" dealers in neighboring villages,
The wise archeologist puts them on
piece-work-so much for every cubic
foot of earth removed, with bakshish,
carefully calculated on the basis Of the
"antika" dealers current rates, for
every object unearthed
Since the bakshish varies with the
condition Of the object, it is to the
interest Of the worker to get each
find" out entire, If possible, or, if
breakage is inevitable, with no part
missing.
Half Of the minor objects discovered
go to the Egyptian government and
half are retained by the institution
conducting the exploration.

DARWIN and HIS EYES

cause He Would Not Have
Proper Glasses Fitted.

Some of US console ourselves for
our mediocrity by contrasting the in
ability of some great men to enter into
the more trivial things that make up
so largely the joys of our lives. The
stock example of a genius. who is
said to have gone TO seed, is Charles
Darwin, founder of the theory of evo-
luton 1t is said of him in his later
years that poetry, books other than
scientific, pictures and music made no
appeal to him. He remarked toward
the end of his life that man ought
to read a poem or listen to good music
or view a good picture every day to
keep the finer faculties in tune.
But it would not seem just exactly
fair to blame Darwin's loss OF pleasure
on his unquenchable pursuit OF facts
Readers of his life and letters VIII
recall constant references to his III
health. In his diary of the three

which he began the observations ana

continually to his sufferings from

 Where was Paddy's room going to be if he piled up the mud that way ? But he didn't like to ask questions, so he kept right on helping. Paddy would dive down to the bottom and then come up with double handfuls of mud. He would scramble out on to the platform and waddle over to the pile in the middle. where he would put the mud and pat it down. Then back to the bottom for more mud.
 And so the mud pile grew and grew until it was quite two feet high, Now" said Paddy, "Fll build the walls and I guess you can't help me | much with those. I'm going to be- i gin them tomorrow night. Perhaps 1 you will like to see me do it, Cousin Jerry"

T prescribe corsets for many of my women patients. So many wom- en need support of abdominal or pack muscles. Future generations of ath- letic women may be able to do with out eorsets, but at present the aver age woman's training has not fitted her to discard some sort of a corset. The new American corset, built on hygienic lines, is often as helpful as a surgical belt"
 It is, by the way. interesting to note that the earliest form of corset was invented by man. Yes, primi- tive, savage man used a sort of thonged leather corset to support him during the fatigues of the chase.
 Ancient Invention
 When the belles and beaux of the tribe discovered what perfectly lovely figure it gave him, they got busy and the corset industry started.

 This is the explanation women all most invariably add to the state ment, "He no longer loves mel"
 So frequently is 1t made that one might conclude that many men stand as helpless as pawns between rival players at the game of love.
 Not so are the best men-and the true lovers-made.
 Today much false philosophy about mans inherent need to yield to his impulses has become popular. Ma ture tempts man to be tickle, accord ing to a certain cult and we actually "are such stuff as dreams are made on'' and man can't help it-and so why try

 Right here is there need of educa- tion in new theories, not only for adults, but for adolescents of both sexes. Educational reformers say that boys and girls of high school age should be instructed about the relation of body and mind, should be made to realize that human instincts and impulses are controllable.

PADDY THE BEAVERS HOUSE
BY THORNTON w. BURG

FAOOT TIE 6EHNEn r1OOO
 Jerry Muskrat was very much in- terestedi when he found that Paddy the Beaver, who, you know, is his cousin, was building a house. Jerry is a house builder himself, and right down deep in his heart he very much doubted if Paddy could build as good a house as he could. His house was down in the Smiling Pool, and Jerry thought it a very wonderful house, indeed, and was very fond of 1t. It was built of mud and sod and little alder and willow twigs and bulrushes. Jerry had spent one winter in it and he had decided to spend another there after he had fixed it up a little. So as long as he hadn't got to build a brand-new one he could afford the time to watch his cousin Paddy. Per- haps he hoped that Paddy would ask his advice.
 But Paddy did nothing of the kind. He had seen Jerry Muslrats house, and he had smiled. But he had taken great pains not to let Jerry see that smile. He wouldn't have hurt Jerry's feelings for the world He is too polite and good -natured to do anything like that. So Jerry sat on the end of an old log and watched Paddy work. The first thing to do was to build the foundation. This was of mud and grass, with sticks worked into 1t to hold it to- gether. Paddy dug the mud from the bottom of his new pond And because the pond was new, of course, there was a great deal of grassy sod there, which was just what Paddy needed It was very convenient
 Jerry watched a little while and then, because Jerry Is a worker him. self, he just had to get busy and help. Rather timidly he told his big cousin that he would like to have a share in building the new house.
