The psychologists established that al
least a fortnight will be required to
clear away the vast heap of rubblt

narrow gauge railway loaned by the
American archaeological mission will be
used to hasten the work.
Nearly 1oo Of the native excavators

1t is probable that Pharaoh Tut

many weeks. as the dismantiing OF
his multiple tabernacle OF gold will
require the most painstaking labor

the use of the X-ray in determining

II Is possible that when the labors

government will arrange to place a

THE pain suffered by Commander
Miss Booth has caused loss of sleep,
which, coupled with unavoidable lack of

her strength. 1t would therefore be
dangerous even to allow her to be pres

BONAR LAW ASKED TO
TAKE ACTION AGAINST
COMMUNIST TEACHINGS
"Red' Propaganda in Sun

Minds of Children"
BY HAL O'FIAHERTN.
Special Cable TO the San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
Cartwright. 1929.

| London. March S.-Prime Minister
Bonar Law is considering n plea made
| by delegation of members of the
| House of Commons for immediate ac-
| ton for the suppression of the COM
munist Sunday schools which are said
/ Ia be poisoning the minds of English
children with false political and eco
nomjc doctrines. He may possibly
authorize an inquiry but he is not ex-
pected to consent TO any suppressive
legislation.
Impartial Investigations have shown
that the communist Sunday schools
! depend for their effect principally on
the teaching of young boys. The
classes begin by learning The Red
Flag" described by George Bernard
Shaw as the most distressing air ex-
| tant. 1t should be called The Flu
neral March Of Froudel.' he says.
Only few members of the House
of Commons are interested in seeking
the suppression Of the red" schools.
Most of tae members believe that
children who are compelled to listen
every week TO dissertations on such
dry subjects as politics and economies
will quickly react against such tor
ture.
The reports show. however. that
this insiduOuS form of propaganda is
growing in both London and the
British provinces and that it de-
serves consideration. The British
working elias 'cS, OF whom so many
are suffering acutely under terrible
conditions. offer Il receptive field to

spoke of the monument. which is of

them. Tuesday was the S7th annivcr-

A SUICIDE EPIDEMIC
Even Children in Italy Take Owr
Lives on Slight PreteXts.
by EDGAR ANSELL MOWRER
Special Gable TO the San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
Cartwright 1929,

Rome, March S.--Italy is having an
epidemic of suicide. Young persons
in particular and even children take
their own lives on the most flimsy
pretcxts. In the last six days the
correspondent has found no less than
20 notices in the newspapers of sui
cidps not TO mention attempts at self
destruction.
In nearly half the cases disap-
pointment in love or jealousy are the
motives. Bad health, loss of job and
failure to pass examinations ar school
c..Lsed the others. One of the chief
reasons for this suicidal mania is
thought to be the space given in
newspapers to so-called "piquant
cases.
