America Outdoing the gypto of TutAnkhAmen:s Time

HREQUENTLY we of America

peoples originated and de-
velOped things which we have hero
tOfore considered quite modern.
For instance ire-resistsnt roofs for
dwellings probate the Christian era
by thousands Of years.
Today tho entire scientific world
is greatly interested In the discov-
cries at the resting place of Tut
Ankh-Amen, the boy PharOah who
ruled Egypt 1900 years ago and
whose treasure allied tomb has just
been opened by an archaeological ex-
peditiOn under Lord CarnarvOn of
England. The ancient Egyptians
used great quantities of asphalt
during tho reign Of the PharOahs
to mummify and preserve the dead.
The bodies Of the kings have been
found invariably preserved with
this age-Old substance and that of
Tut-Ankh-Amen is believed to be
no exception. Two statues of the
Pharoah found guarding the portals
to the inner tomb, a black box, 8
figure of a swan and numerous
other objects are of wood preserved
with asphalt, or "bitumen" or
'pitch" as the substance was then
known. The bed or couch upon
which Tut-Ankh-Amen was accus-
toned TO recline was made of
bituminized wood.
While the Egyptians were ex-
9ensiyc users of "bitumen," or
asphalt, In embalming their dead
and In waterproohng Silos, tombs,
monuments, cisterns, wells and small
objects, they used it no more ex-

LETTER FROM JOHN PRESCOTT
NEWLYWED, TO HIS FRIEND,
SYDNEY CARTON

DEAR sgd:
1 broke off suddenly in my letter
to you the other day, for Leslie has
the most absurd ideas about ones
private correspondence. She wants
to me to read.
God knows, sgd, do not want TO
read her letters full of triviai com
monplaces and questions about peo-
pie for whom I care nothing, and
certainly 1 would not have her read
my letters to you for the world. 1t
would seem like giving up my entire
liberty.
1 wanted to tell you about my In
terview with Leslie's father 1t was
a "humdinger
He had me on the carpet that morn
ing after I returned from that bust
ness ~ trip for about an hour and
he had me going all right. I wasn't
sure there was going to be a wedding
when I made clean breast of the
affair with Paulette.
At that Leslie's father is a good
sport In the first place he told me
that he suspected from the first that
my firm had not sent for me and in
the second place he said he thought
that had balled up matters greatly.
That any one Of sense would have
known I was lying and tina, you
were aiding me. He said that only
a loving woman who wanted to be
lieve would nave been fooled by
either you or me.
He said that was why he was ready
to forgive me. as IT showed him ! was
not very proficient in the matter OF
deceiving.
sgd. 7 told him the whole story
and he said, as you have. that I had
made a consummate ass of myself
He said IT more forcibly too. How
ever, he continued that probably
ninety-nine men out of hundred do
the same thing every day OF their
lives.
I asked him If he thought I had
better tell Leslie and he answered no.
He didn't think she would understand
gathered from what he said, al.
though he made no assertions to that
effect. that he thought what a woman
didn't know wouldn't hurt her.
pigeon holed that opinion for future
use.
He assured me. however, that he
would expect me to be absolutely
devoted and true to his daughter
after marriage. and he affirmed some
what profanely that he didn't care a
d for me or my feelings in the
matter. but he would not have his
daughter made unhappy.
Prescott" he said. Il have never
made T.eslie's mother suffer one pang
OF unhappiness on my account and
do not intend that she shall sorrow
because some scala~ag like yourseli
has brought grief 10 one OF her
daughters"
I felt pretty low down. sgd. The
old man IS white and If for no other
reason than because I want HIS re-
spect, am going to play the game
straight from now on. JACK.

GIFT Of ORATORY
NOT MANS ALONE
Butler Co-edS to Argue With
Franklin Tonight,

Goods at Butler are proving the gift
of oratory is not found only among
men. Also logic is sometimes a fem
mime virtue.
The girls have organized debating
teams and plan several debates with
teams from other colleges. Tonight
they will argue with Franklin College
on the same question that has been
used by the mems debating leagues
this year:
Resolved, That the war debt owed
the United States by the allies should
be cancelled"
The affirmative team. Jessie Brown,
Alice Reynolds, Mary Winchell. and
Margaret Hecker. alternate, will go to
Franklin.
The negative team. Demia Ken
nady. Ruth Craig, Daisy Schultz and
Alice Koehne. alternate, will debate in
the Butler chapel with the affirma-
tive team from Franklin.
Prof ROllo A. Talcott has coached
the girls. Tentative dates have been
set for debates with Syracuse Univer-
sity and Albion College.

Difference in Ages

Miss Lee: I am a fellow of Is and I like

ask this girl for date: Is the difference in

Usually a girl of 10 is quite a bit
more mature than a boy of Is. How
ever, this may not be true in your
case. Nothing wrong about asking
the girl for a date" If she is not
