continue to illuminate tho minds
of the rising generation, as it has
done in the past" said President

SOME ONE PURLO|NED
TUTANKHAMEN's PURSE
By The As.oeiated Pressl

LUXOR, EGYPT, Mar. 6.--Of all the
fine things found in the outer room of
the disturbed resting place of King
Tutankhamen, the finest, from the
antiquarian standpoint, is the us
habit" a small image of the king him
self. That, at least, is the opinion of
Lord Carnarvon.
The "Ushabti," or 'Answerer."
showing the defunct monarch in the
guise of Osiris, was customarily
placed in royal tombs with an inscrip-
tion stating that the image was pre-
pared to do any work imposed upon it,
Then the tomb was sealed so tightly
nobody could get to the "Ushabti, .
and request it to do something.
Back in what Tutankhamen may, in
his language, have referred to as the
good old days of yore. the Pharaoh.
when he died. was accompanied to the
underworld by slave, sacrificed dur
ing the royal funeral ceremonies. In
more modern times the slave was
allowed 10 live. and the ''Ushabti'' was
substituted for him. This was done
in the case of Tutankhamen
King Tutankhamen took some of
his money with him when he died, but
II was gone, and his purse also, when
the outer chamber was opened by
Howard Carter. The archaeologists
were quite sad about this. for they be-
lieve there is only one example of
such a purse in existence.

CONSERVATIVE TONE MARKS BELGIAN NOTE
Brussels Willing To Examine Ger
 many's Capacity To Pay

PARIS, July 29.-The Belgian reply to England on German reparations. which will be delivered Monday, adopts more conservative tone than the French response. The reply will cover the following points: Passive resistance must cease in the Ruhr; evacuation of the Ruhr must only be in proportion to separations paid; Belgium is prepared, however, to eX- anime Germany's capacity to pay.
 It is the difference in, this last point which resulted in Belgium's giving a separate response to Eng land instead of joining with France in flat reply as Premier Poincare desired.
 There are also other points of diff ference, although relatively minor, which induced Premier Theunis not to support all phases of the French attitude.
 The Belgian reply arrived in Paris Sunday and was immediately trans- mitted to Premier Poincare, who is still at Sampigny. resting and rusti- eating.
 Both the French and Belgian re- plies will be sent to London Monday, it is understood
