ing $5956.1O, with the department
allotted $4,000, for the year.
The department of general gov
ernment exceeded its appropriation
durng the first quarter, HAVING ex-
pendtures amounting to to S138.8O,
against total Appropriation for the
year of $525.
The police department expenditure
remained well within the sum appro-
priated, being $1,924.11, agains !
$9,820.00 appropriated the depar h
ment for its annual maintenance
The cemetery department had Il
penditures during the quar11
amounting to $28O,46, of which all
but $7.66 represented salaries, with
$1,780.00 allotted for the year in
that department.
The fire department also remained
within the sum appropriated for its
maintenance, having spent $2,935.78
during the quarter, against a total
allotment for the year of $14,8G0.00
these indicating a saving in this de-
partment alone of approximately
$4,000, as compared with the total
appropriated for its maintenance.
In the water department, the
statement shows the appropriation
has been slightly exceeded, though
it was explained that certain pur-
chases of meters and unusually ample
fuel supply accounted for this con
dition it was also stated this condi-
tion would be overcome during the
year as these SUPPLIES are either dis
posed of to water consumers or used
in the operation of revenue produc-
ing departments. The expenditures
for the department during the quar-
ter were $6,422.O3 appropriated for
the quarter having been exceeded ap-
proximately $4,000.
Analysed as whole the statement
shows the various municipal depart
ments are living strictly within their
appropriations and the Poole admins
tration is conducting the affairs of
the city upon a sound business basis.
During the discussion of the budget
limitations last night, Alderman Witt
inquired of council respecting au-
thority to approve bills for depart
ments where the appropriation had
been exceeded, and it was indicated
that in no instance will such bills be
approved where the annual allot-
ment has already been expended.
This insures substantial curtailment
of the existing floating debt during
the year, as the 3-mill special tax
providwed under special legislation
enacted five years ago, will be ap-
piled solely to the liquidation of
these accounts. This special tax ex.
pires this year, however, and city Of
fcials are already considering ways
and means of supplying the revenue
deficit which will be occasioned
thereby.

manufacturing processes, the kinds O
food they ate and many OF their scientific
and religious beliefs.
The Egyptians of Tut-ankh-amen's
6ay believed in the survival after death
of combined spiritual body and soul
This spiritual combination was known
as the KA. In order for the KA to have
food and drink in the after-life, it was
necessary that the dead take these things
from the earth. Those spirits which
because of their acts on earth, could not
reach Heaven, were doomed to exc out
an existence in the tOmbs.
These spirits of the dead-the KAS-
were believed to lead an existence not
unlike their earthly mode of living. To
assure happiness to the soul it was neces-
sarv that the tombs contain, along with
the body, slaves and cattle, granaries
and bakeries, war implements and clothes,
food and drink. If the tombs should lack
any of these, the unfortunate KA would
have to do without for time eternal.
Translations of some of the ancient
hieroglyphics show that it was COM
mon wish among dying Egyptians that
their KAS should receive bread and drink
which had been blessed before the altar
of the local god. This blessing of the
food and drink was supposed to make
1t doubly effective and desirable.
BREAD COMMON 1000 YEARS
AGO
The sacred writings on the walls, the
votiye offerings and the tombs them
selves. all show that bread making was
a well-known art among the Egyptians
even 1000 years ago. The care given

tonbs shows how essential the Egyptians
considered bread to be for the susten-

Several hundred years before the time
nf King Tut-ankh-amen, there lived in
Egypt a great prince of the Eleventh
Dynasty named Mehenkwetre. Mehenk- |
wetre was the Chancellor and Steward
of the Royal Palace of King Mentuho-
tep, III, and, in addition to being very
religious, was immensely wealthy. This

Washington. May 24.-Omcial pro-
mitigation of the new ship liquor regu-
lations made necessary by the supreme
courts recent decision, is expected
soon at the treasury where indications
were given today that way had been
found to circumvent international con-
flict in laws. The regulations were
said to be on Secretary Melons desk.
complete but in tentative form,
awaiting his consideration.
Urea sury spokesman refused to dis
close features of the new rules re-
quired by the decision which bans all
except medicinal liquor within the
threc-mile limit. or to reveal how the
laws Of the United States and those
of foreign countries which require
ships of their nationals to carry liquor
as crew rations or ship stores. were
brought into harmony.
1t was asccrtained definitely that the
attorneys who framed the tentative
draft of the regulations had given
study to the use OF the medicinal ex
cmptions of the Nolstead act as a
means of avoiding a direct conflict
with the foreign laws. Tho suggestion
was made to the lawyers. it was said.
that transfer Of the ship stores or crew
rations liquor to the custody of ship
doctors might bring it within the court
ruling which has been declared to be
the most sweeping of any of its prohi-
bition decisions.
Regardless OF the treasury's efforts
T. avoid protests by foreign govern
ments. it appears certain that vigorous
representations on the supreme court
Interpretation of the law would come
from several powers. High treasury
officials are said to be aware that these
protests arel in. paration and that
probably they will be filed with the
state department in advance of the
publication of the proposed regulations
which. under present plans. are to be-
come effective June 10.
The intention of the treasury to hold
June 10 as the effective day for the reg
ulations was asserted tonight although
officials qualified their statements by
adding that they did not know what
would happen between the time the
rules are made public and the date for
them to become operative. Should pro-
tests be filed against them. it was re-
garded as certain that more time
would be allowed in the interest of
comfy between nations to work out a
creed that would be acceptable to all
maritime powers.

Washington, May 24-Two presi-
dents of New England railroads.
James II. Hustis of the Boston &
Maine and Z. J. Pearson. of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford-to-
day laid their views en- railway con-
solidation before the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission.
Differing with the government
tentative plans, Mr.. Hustis asked the
commission to leave open several al
ternatives in proposing certain plans
for his road SO that its stockholders
and users might have opportunity
to make the best adjustment posi- :
bic.
Mr.. Pearson. while of the opinion
that his road might be left by itself,
expressed, with qualifications. APP
prevail of the governments plan of
putting all New England lines into
one system. The Boston & Albany,
now a part of the New York Central
system. The said. should be detached
and put into the New England mer-
ger, while the Lehigh & New Eng
land and the Lehigh & Hudson,
which the commission proposes to
put into the New England group,
should be left outside.
With f. c. auckland, vice presi-
dent of the New Haven, Mr.. Pearson
went into a discussion of the sys-
TENS financial condition, after ex-
pressing his general conclusion that
the road had a fair chance to earn
satisfactory returns as a single sys-
tenn.
AS to consolidated New England
system along the lines he proposed,
Mr.. Pearson said that it would per
form distinct territorial service" and
give New England free opportunity
of access to sea and water routes.
Mr.. auckland. drawn into dis
cussion of the New Ravens corpor-
ate deficit of $22,000,000, said this
would be turned into a substantial
surplus after proper valuation of
the roads property. Its Central Yer
mont line. its leased lines generally,
and its physical property, he assert
ed in responding to questions from
Commissioner Eastman, will work
out to give it greater valuations than
the present book figures.

London, May 24-(By A. P)-
Whatever plans Premier Baldwin
may have had for reuniting the Con-
sentative. party in the formation Of
his new cabinet by bringing in Sir
Robert Horne, Austen Chamberlain
and others. they apparently have mis-
carried. Mr.. Baldwin is still seeking
a chancellor of the exchequer and Mr..
Chamberlain. who was reported to
have arrived in London last night.
still is in Paris and has seemingly no
present intention of joining the gov
eminent.
The court returns to London tomor-
row and the king will hold a council,
at which the prime minister will sub
nit his cabinet list. This is said to
be completed and is practically iden-
teal with Mr.. Bonar Laws ministry,
with the addition of Lord Robot Ce-
Gil as chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster.
A temporary solution of the chan
cellor difficulty, according to the most
authoritative reports tonight, is that
MIR. Baldwin himself will combine the
premiership with the eXchequer port
fClio. The budget has already been
adopted, so for a few months the
double office would entail little extra
work and it seemingly is the hope
that Sir Robert Horne may yet be
persuaded to accept the portfolio.
Sir Robert was inconsultation with
Premier Baldwin today. so 1t may pc
assumed that his refusal to join the
government is not altogether final.
parliament will reassemble Monday
without any special ceremony incl
dent to the change in the premier
shin. No special explanation regard,
ing the government policy is expecteo
from the new prime minister ana the
government will carry on as BEFORE.
