Chicago, September 24.-Bobbed hair, concealed ears, short skirts and all the other fads and foibles asso- cated with modern women's styles are as old as the pyramids. accord ing to the mute story told by the mummies of both Egypt and Peru in the Field museum.
 Wrapped in their pitched shrouds and encased In sarsophagi covered with curious paintings and hiero- glyphs in colors still bright after 5000 years or more, these mummies all that was mortal of a human be- ing of ages ago, today link the pres ent to civilization long since dead.
 The daily center of thousands of curious eyes. for the mummies seem to hold strange fascination for every visitor to the museum, they are silent spectators of the passing throngs, but the paintings which adorn their resting places tell more plainly than words of styles GUS toms and manners of forgotten age.
 Why, ma, they're dressed just like the girls we see on Michigan Boule . vard" exclaimed an aged visitor to his wife as he gazed at the strange figures adorning the sarcophagi.
 Tt appears like they did not wear bit more then than they do now the woman answered as the pair moved away.
 It is a far cry from the Nile of Cleopatra's day to the Pacific coast of Peru in South America, but mum mics from both regions lying almost within reach of each other now, but in life ignorant of each others exis- tence, bear graphic evidence of the greatest similarity and proficiency in many arts at a time when the Norsemcn were ravaging all of south ern Europe and the old world had almost sunk into barbarism. pr. j..

MUMMIES MUTE STORY TELLS THAT
 ROBBED HAIR, CONCEALED EARS AND SHORT SKIRTS ARE OLD AS PYRAMIDS

Alden Mason, assistant curator of Mexican and South American an thology at the museum, has prepared an outline of the known history of the Peruvian mummies.
 Both wore clothes in every weave known to the modern textile artist and made in some cases, finer than are duplicated today by the best me- chanieal means and the most skilled artisans. Their pottery is unsur- passed even today in it's type and their work in gold and copper chal- lenges the modern craftsmen Unlike the Egyptians, the Feruvians used no process of embalming, but so dry were the sands of certain of their deserts that the dry bodies with their wrapplngs around them, have been preserved perfectly to this day with the objects placed around them
 Near the town of Ancon on the coast of Peru was found the greatest cemetery of these people. great desert waste. no evidence of occupa- ton is seen on the surface. Even wben the first Spanish conquerer passed this way in 1888 every vest age of human occupation had entire ly disappeared and the location or the town was quite forgotten. It was not until about 70 years ago that the first graves were discovered and for Il century they have yielded fortunes to treasure seekers who despoiled them to recover the golden ornaments left beside the bodies.
 And now the mummies of both of these people tell of strange siml- larities in style, adornment. manners and industries to those of the present generation It Is linking of the past to the present which holds a peculiar attraction for the mummies lying in silent state. are the most popular exhibit for the thousands of fr{lseum

AGRARIAN BLOC"
 IN CONGRESS IS
 STILL AGGRESSIVE
Members Plan to Carry on Vigorous Campaign for Legislation From Now
 Till End of Session
By RALPH BURTON Special Correspondent of The Age-Herald' (Copyright, 1891. by The Age-Herald)


 Washington, September 24.-t Spe- cial. )-The farmer bloc in Con gress has already, in the few odys that have elapsed since the sessions were resumed, shown that it has lost none of the spirit of aggressivencss that characterized it during the spring and summer, despite admin istration condemnation of govern ment by group" and from tomorrow until the end of the present session it's members intend to carry on vigor- ously their campaign for legislation, of which, they assert, the farmers of the nation are urgently in need
 First on the programme, perhaps
 in importance, is the cooperative marketing issue. strongly advocated for many months by Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. A tremendous sentiment has grown up among the farmers of the middle west in favor of legislation which will permit CO.,
 operative marketing, for there, rail- road rates, grain exchange activ- ities, and the large expense inciden- tal to present distributing arrange ments have been perhaps more keenly felt than anywhere else. The pronounced opposition that has de- veloped in some states. notably In- diana and Illinois, to plans for mar

keting grain comparatively has tended to make the farmers all the more militant for they have come to believe that big business interests are trying to halt them in order that the present toll of middleman may be obtained.
 Conspicuously successful
 The farmer bloc" has been rather conspicuously successful. IL has put through the packer control act and the Capper- -Tincher bill regulating the sale of futures on grain exchanges, and although meth ods of evading this second act are already coming to light. according to reports from the farming centers, the egislation undoubtedly represents real gain to agriculturists as class.
 To the criticism leveled against 1t. the members of the bloc" reply that they are only interested in getting a square deal for the farmer, some thing that he has not always had in the past.
 Senators Heflin of Alabama, Fletcher of Florida, Ransdell of Lou isiana, Smith of south Carolina and Sheppard of Texas. make up the south's representation in the upper House bloc" The west is repre- scented by Gooding of Idaho, Kenyon of Iowa, Capper of Kansas Norris of Nebraska, Ladd of North Dakota, I.aFonette of Wisconsin and Ken drick c wyoming. There are, then, in the bloc members of both parties; there are the occasionally conflicting economic interests of two sections and of the growers of different crops to be considered. Yet, on the whole, the bloc has worked with surpris- ing unity. and results in the lower House have been about as satisfac- tory.
 The success of the farmer group is suggested by some labor men as pointing the way to the most eff fective meaN of getting needed la bor legislation, but the opportunity has not been seized. There are few men bers of Congress xvho hold union cards. There are a number of others who arc sympathetic with the aims of organized labor

Arsenal of Ancient
 Island Warriors Is
 Found By White Men
- By AEsociatnd Press

Honolulu, T. H.. September 24-The weapon storehouse in the immense crater of extinct Haleakala. where the natives of Maui many years ago made their last stand against the all-conquering King of Hawaii, has been discovered, according to Emil A. Berndt a business man of Honolulu.
 Only two others share the secret, and it is to be kept until a superin- terdent of the Hawaii National bank is appointed, who can take steps to preserve the treasures of the cave.
 The crater of the old volcano was the stronghold of the islanders of Maui. On it's brink they had built many little fortresses, and in cave in it's recesses they maintained their arsenal Their defenses, however, proved futile against the advance of Kamehameha the Great who united the archipelago in the kingdom of Hawaii and became It's first ruler.
 In the decades that have since elapsed, many of the pill boxes" on the crater's lips have been discov- cred and robbed of weapons found beneath their stone floors.
 MT. Berndt says each of the three white men with Knowledge of the cave stumbled across it while wan dering aimlessly about after losing the way in the crater. He reports that it contains crude stone hatch cts, immense quantities of sling shot stones, spear heads and other inn plements of ancient warfare.

A GOOD WORD FOR
TIE NEWBEERY LAUNDRY

The Newherry laundry is sanitary
as is name indicates-taen why not
ra:ron;za this long felt need in our
city instead cf sending clothes into
unsanitary homes?
The washc-women Of the city are
Tsc-;rea by law to register, have
their homes inspected by. the health
officer, ard graded. Still, with this
n-ccaution, many communicable dis
cases and parasites are brought into
cur bones through this source.
Sore pieces of clothing may not
be done so we'll at the laundry as by
hand, while others are done great
deal better, out if the people would
give their patronage, all the work
be dorc bettc~, because more money
would be available.
Ore hears thc objection to the
laundry that chemicals are used
thereby iniuring the fabric of the
garment. Ohiector, DO you realize
that yoar private wash is often sub
iacted to concentrated lye or strong
washing powdsf? Old fashioned
scrubbirg with soap is out Of date,
even with the "Dusky DamseE"
Another objection that is some
times advanced is that of having the
wash done along with clothes in gen
eral. How many families have prl-
vate washerWomen? For fact, only
these families who have their wash
done Oh their premises and the IRON
ing done in their own home.
There are two hundred families IN
our city who prefer their clothes be-
icg seerilized to having them washed
alcng with these of the little picka-
rirnies of their .washerwoman. l
have tried both and feel that | am
in position to know.
TIE convenience of having your
clothes called for and delivered in a
sanitary wagon instead Of an unsani-
tary dray, is someth;ng>to be consid-
cred. Last, but not least, it is more
economical. You save drayage, soap
ard starch, and you get your clothes
bacl; each week even though it rains,
Sleets or SHOWS.

nal sketches by veterans and women
of the '6O's-the sketches to be writ

bv daughters from facts given by
them.
Let us make a clean sweep this year
Of this Confederate history obtained
from original sources--from men and
women who helped to make the his
tory and who were eye witnesses OF
the events. We are now prepared 10
take care of this material when 1t Is

ROTARIANS ENJOY LUNCHEON
AT NEWBBERKY HOTEL

The rathskeller of the Ncwberry
hotel rcsounCed with song5 and
laughter of the Rotarians at their
regular luncheon OH Wednesday after
noon, and, as usual, gcodfeliowship
prevailed, as this jolly bunch Of bus
mess men cf the community gathered
around the festive beard.
While tie luncheon I'D not resolve
itself altogether, into a soas-fe=t, Ro-
tartan Ben Dorrity, assuming the du-
ties CT ':hynln-h'ister,' after several
manful attempts, finally induced Ro-
tarians George Summer and John k!-
nard to chirp, and, inspired by TINS
outburst on the part of these singers
the other somewhat retlcent song
birds of the club joined in and soon
made the welkin :ing. In this, they
were aided ami atetted by several
guests. Dr.. w. X. Gotwald, Rev.
Mene, MeSs.s. Charles E. Summer
and Thos. X. tombstone, whsse soaoT-
Gus voices blended admirably with
the musical notes Of the Rotarlans.
President Zach Wright, of the local
club, told cf~the approaching district
oonve,,+ic~ cf Rotary clubs which will
be held in Norfolk, Va.' IN April, and
requested that each Rotarian make
arrangements TO attend this meeting.
It is expected that the Newberry' club
will be largely represented at this
convention.
Rotarian Harry Dominick was call
ed upon to make q short talk on the
mCotton Oil Industry" and he eH-
planned in detail the operations Of the
crude oil mill and the many uses TO
which cottcnseed products are put.
Rev. .Meng, Mcssrs. C. E. Summer
and T. K. JohnstoGe were also called
upon and responded in a happy veln'
Rev. Meng interspeSsing his remarks
with a number Of well-pointed jokes.
A poem, which was read by Rotarlan
Foster Martin, was greatly enjoyed.
Several Rotarians were absent
from this luncheon on account OF Ill
ness: Paul Anderson, Haskell Klpler
and Jim Moon, and the secretary,
Ben Dorrity, was requested to SEND
to them the greetings and Well-Wishes
of the club.
The luncheon was served by Mr.
W. W. Bullock, proprietor of the
Newberry hotel, and the manner IN
which this portion Of the program
was attended to by the Rotarlans was
sufficient evidence that the menu
lacked nothing-nor did the appe-
tites.
+. The next luncheon Of the club Will
be given February 9Th.
