Model of Egyptian
Brewery in Action
Is Found in Ruins

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. IA. A
model of an Egyptian brewery, ap-
proximately 300 years old, was
among several hundred objects exca-
waited in the tombs at Lahun and
Gurah in Upper Egypt the last two
seasons and recently received by the
University of Pennsylvania Museum
from Dr. Flinders-Detric.
The model, made about 1900 b. C..
shows a dozen employees making beer
from barley. A handful of barley
also was preserved, but little except
the outside bulls, was left.
Among the other interesting OBJ
jects in the collection were two mod
els of small boats filled with rowers
and fitted with masts and sails, sup
posed to have carried the souls of the
dead across the Nile. There were
also some excellent status carved of
wood representing servants carrying
grain, Wallets and workmen, and a
life-like portrait statue in wood, paint
ed red, of a dead man. The man car
ried rod and staff, indicating, it
was said at the university, the an
Gent method of Furnishing offenders.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA. - new ia
BILE of Ten Commandments, designed
to train boys and girls to kindness
to Gods dumb creatures, was issued
today by the Presbyterian board OF
temperance and moral welfare.
In it, hunting, fishing and the rob-
bling of birds nests for sport are con-
demned, as are attendance at all
bloody sports, such as cock fights,
live pigeon shoots, dog fights and bull
fights. Coveting of furs and the
plumage of birds also is prescribed.
Supplementary rules of conduct, is
sued with the Commandments" urge
children to refrain from going to cir
cuses or other shows where trained
animals are exhibited, asserting that
such animals are nearly always cruel
" treated and must live a life of mis-
cry"
Here are the commandments"
which were drafted by William F. H.
Vented, director of the poarGs de-
partment of humane education and
were adopted by the board as a guide
to children-and to grown-ups, too:
l. lam the Lord thy God who made
and gave man dominion over my
works, wherefore thou shalt be guard
ian over beast, bird and cattle, and
tC them thou shalt be in my place.
2. Thou shalt not delight myself
in craven images but rather in tend
er mercies to those VINO depend on
thy guardianship. Thou shalt not lay
blame or punishment unwarranted up
on them who know not wrong, who
cannot speak for themselves and who
have no means of asserting their
rights, wherefore thou art to them
the adjudicator of righteousness in
their midst, for l the Lord thy God
am a jealous God, remembering thy
unfaithfulness and thy cruelties to
all my creatures and visiting the err
rors of thy way upon thy children
down through the generations; in
that thou hast set a bad example unto
them and hast by word anC by deed
lead them to disrespect justice and
mercy in dealing with my defenseless
creatures.
3. Thou shalt not curse thine cat
tie not inflict vengeance upon any of
Gods creatures for the Lord will not
hold him guiltness who disregards his
creatures.
4. Remember the sabbatical rights
of my creatures and practice them
sacredly. Every beast of burden and
every animal in thy service shall
have its day and fitting seasons OF
rest whereby the drudge of toll in
try service may be comfortably ming
led with the JOY of living. With rea-
son and consideration thou shalt as
sign their tasks and with equal care
thou shart provide fou-. rest, succor,
mercy and those things which make
for the natural joy of living.
5. Honor and respect thy guardian
ship. over the aniamls which have
been thy faithful servants and de-
sert them not in an evil day; for by
so doing thou mayest prolong thy
days and increase thy joy in the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
8. Thou shalt not kill, for the joy
