CALLS FOR MANY QUALITIES
Areheologist Must Be Scholar, Lingu-

The modern archeologist in Egypt
must have studied history, 1t is true !;
he must be familiar with wnat 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-
cation; he must himself be ready to

The task of disinterring ancient

WEEKS FITTED
 FOR POSITION
 IN CABINET
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES

G
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-(Special Correspondence).- Among all the men mentioned for the Harding cabinet, besides Will H. Hays and Harry Daugherty, who will be given cabinet posts by MT. Harding if they desire the appointments, former Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, seems to have the best chance of appointment Former Senator Weeks is we'll fitted for a cabinet post. He is a graduate of the U. s. naval academy at Annapolis, served in the navy for someS time, and during his career in the senate was a member of the naval affairs committee. On this committee he took great interest in the navy, this being natural in view of his graduation at Annapolis and his service in the fleets. MT. Weeks is a member of the firm of Hornblower & Weeks, of Boston, one of the larg- est banking and brokerage houses in the east. He has always taken great interest in political affairs and dur ing the last campaign was a tower of strength to the Republican cause
 It was reported here today that the selection of MT. Weeks for the cab inet Is considered certainty, as far as anything can be certainty in the uncertainty of political affairs. It is reported that Mir. Weeks will be of fered either the secretaryship of the navy or the secretaryship of the treasury. Tn either position he would undoubtedly make good" His in terests and experience are about equally divided betwen naval and fin ancial affairs, and he would be a good head of either the navy or the treas ury. When MT Weeks was a mem Der of the house, and of the senate as well, he was an authority on finan ciaI legislation and all matters per taining to treasury affairs. He is a trained business man of great eXpe- rience and large business affairs and is we'll equipped to guide the destin- ies of the treasury.
 There is one objection to the ap- pointment of the former Massachu-

setts senator to the Harding cabinet and that is geographical rather than personal Governor Coolidge halls from Massachusetts, as does Senator Lodge, the Republican leader in the senate. Speaker Gillett of the house,
 is also from Massachusetts. If Weeks is given post in the cabinet immediately politicians from other states will declare, and declare 1t with vigor and reiteration, that Massachu- setts, a little state, is getting more than here proportionate share of high government and legislative honors. This is positively the only objection, if it be objection, that can be found by anybody to MT. Weeks entrance into the Harding cabinet. It is said that MT. Harding will ignore this ob- jection, however, and invite the Mas sachusetts man into the new cabinet.
 In answer to the objection that Massachusetts, would be getting "too much under an appointment of this kind, it may be said in reply that Speaker Gillett and Vice President to-be Coolidge will have very little to do with directing the Harding admin. istration, except for such matters as will naturally and rightfully fall under their jurisdiction. In other words neither Gillett or Coolidge will be in the cabinet, and Weeks would be the only man from Massachusetts in that cabinet. This is the reply now being made to the objection of "too much Massachusetts"
 There is only one other thing that might prevent the appointment of Mir. Weeks. That is the appointment of Senator Lodge as secretary of state. If this occurs MT. Harding cannot ap- point Weeks to the cabinet, because there would be plenty or just cause for other states to raise the "too much Massacusetts" slogan. But it is said MT. Lodge much prefers to re- main as leader of the senate to be- coming a cabineteer.
 Governor Lowden, of Illinois, might be the only other stumbling block to the appointment of former Senator Weeks to the treasury portfolio. It is said Lowden's friends are making great campaign to have him ap- pointed to the treasur post. Other reports are that Lowden will be given an ambassadorship, which he could fill with credit to the United States. as he is man of vast wealth, derived from the Pullman Car Company es- tate. It takes millionaire to repre- sent the United States as ambassador to any first-class power because this government pays it's ambassador only about enough salary to pay the am bassadOr's house rent in any of the great foreign capitals. Lowden has the cash to shine as an ambassador in any court in Europe. Also he is able, mentally and socially, to well represent the state department in any post abroad. He may be appointed an ambassador and thus clear the way for Weeks to go into the treasury If Mir. Lodge does not want a cabinet post, and it is probable he does not, then it seems certain that Weeks will be summoned to become a mem- bed of the Harding official family.
