DAN PULLEN
 IN HOSPITAL

Dan Pullen, one of the greatest football players and oarsmen ever turned out at the University of Washington, son of Mrs. Pullen, of Skagway, lies in the Walter Reed Hospital in the national capitol seri- ously i'll with that dread disease, sleeping sickness. He has been un- conscious for over two weeks and there have been no cases known in the District of Columbia that have lasted that long.
 After graduating from the Seattle institution, Pullen won high honors at West Point, both in the class room and on the gridiron. Dr. F. T. Wilt. who played fullback for Wash ington the years Pullen was a star here, brought the information of Pullen's condition to the coast. It was contained in a story that ap- peared in The Washington Post under date of August IT, and read as fol lows

 Though in the past the district has had several cases of the disease, known technically as 1ethargic ence- phalitis. few. if any, have lasted as long as the one now under treatment. So far as known, the case of Major Pullen is the only one now in the District.
 Major Pullen was stricken with the disease while on duty at the GUS tom house in Norfolk. Va. 1t is understood that he first was taken to Fort Munroe for treatment, but that short time ago he was trans ferred to Walter Reed for treat ment, where greater facilities for the of such cases are available" ]"

 GREET DUCKS, GEESE
 AND DEER TOMORROW

With the open season on game birds and deer beginning tomorrow morn ing, local hunters today began to scatter for various points in this vi cinity to usher it in with the usual eannonade of scatter guns and ri- fes. Several parties were due to leave town tonight and tomorrow to be absent over Labor Day
 Reports received here during the last two weeks indicate an unusu- ally heavy crop of ducks and geese in virtually every section of the coast. As early as the first week in August. flocks of geese were re- ported to have been seen near Jul neu. Most of the hunters leaving for the week end will go after the birds.
 Deer are also reported to be pres ent in numbers exceeding those o} last season. Several nimrods are preparing to brave the rainsoaked unaelbrush and trees in an effort to bring in the first deer of this sea- son.
 Deer may be killed from September ist 10 November 18th. Grouse shoot ing is permissible between Septem- Der 1st and March 1st. The season for ducks, geese and other migratory game birds extends from Septem- Der fss to December 18th.

Just as the pilgrim fathers drew logs from the wilderness and fash toned their first temple of worship, so the folks near Peerless, Ind, in the famous limestone district, have built a more pretentious tabernacle. 1t nestles on a peaceful road in the country. Built of the aristocratic material at hand, the church with its beauty and substantial elegance might well grace a handsome city boulevard.
 The direct outlay of money was comparatively nothing. In the nearby quarry of w. McMillan & Son there were plenty of irregular stones which had been cut off in trimming the big square blocks which go into the finer buildings of the cities. These were contributed

free by the McMillans. This was important, but a principal cost of all building nowadays is the labor. This, too, was contributed. Led by the Rev. o. M. Cox. Mt. Pleasant Christian church, who worked as a stone cutter in his youth, quarr,- men, carpenters, masons and farm CTS from over the countryside join ed in the task. With the break of dawn and in the evening twilight after the regular days occupations, they could be seen diligently at work. At length the structure was completed. The dedicatory services were largely attended. Many wCr- shipers came from distant points.
 Gazing proudly at the hardy men who had aided him, the Rev. Cox said simply: By their works ye shall know them."

beauty in ancient art. They are quite
equal to anything ever produced in
Greek sculpture and rival the great

The great valTp and significance of
This most marvellous archaeological dis
cOvery OF modern times lies in the fact
that in this tomb we have preserved
group of survivals from the unique
revolution in ar. and religion which
had preceded Tutankhamen. This rev.
OlutiOn was due to the unique genius
of TutankhaAen's fatherp-law, lkh-

He had introduced the earliest known
mOnotheism and infused into art a

pletely transformed it. ~'-. 8
This revolution marked the highest
level Of ancient culture before the
| Greeks. The fanatical reaction which
followed left very little of the new
thought and art to reveal to us its
| character.
IkhnatOn's beautiful capital at Tel
FL Amarna was swept away and with
it persisted the great works of art
which his tremendous revolution had
brought forth. Some of them, how
ever, were brought back to Thebes. the
old capital, by Tutankhamen and of
these not a few were piously placed
in his tomb by his surviving relatives.
Only Art Antedating Greek.
Tutankhamen's tomb therefore be-
came treasury and magazine in
which have been preserved the only
surviving monuments and works OF

emancipation in the human career and
the only one antedating the Greeks.
