DEPRIVED OF FORTUNE BY HATRED

her son did not secure dollar of her
fortune. Three years ago she had a
narrow escape from death while walk
ing over the crossing of the Illinois
Central, here, and the quick action
of Grover c. Ennis, a brakeman, saved
her from being manned or killed.
She was so grateful that she pre-
sented him with check for $1,000
and later gave him deed to her
farm, but retained life interest in
the property. When she died recently
and her will was admitted to probate
objection was filed by her son, but
his protest was overruled.
He then appealed the case to the
higher court. The will provided that
$1,000 In cash was to go to the son,
providing that he did not attack the
validity of the will. In the event
that he did, the money was to be

BOY SCOUT SAVES COMPANION

On recent rowing trip Scout Lewis
Wood of East st. Louis. H., and
companion had gone about fifty yards
from shore to point of land that was
not covered with water, and believing
1t was an island, had gotten out of the
boat to talk to some fishermen. Woods
companion was standing at the edge
of the water when the bank suddenly
gave way, throwing him into water be-
yond his depth. He grabbed piece
of drlftwood but 1t was not large
enough to support him. The current
was strong at this point and carried
him 90 feet or more from the shore.
When Scout Wood saw his companion
go down he plunged into the water and
swan to him. The drowning boy had
gone down the second time when the
scout reached him. After hard strug-
gle in the water Wood managed to Sc
cure a grip around his companions
neck and swan TO shore with him.

The Psychologists were quite sad

outer room of the disturbed resting
place Of King Tut-Ankh-Amen, the
finest, from the antiquarian stand
point, is the "Ushabti," small image
of the king himself. That, at least, is
the opinion of Lord Carnarvon.

this way he not only heard distinctly
the beating of her heart, but he heard

German Scientists Tackle 1t.
This achievement was reported to
the London Society of Electrical
Engineers, but it was not at once
followed up by the medical profess
sion because of some uncertainties In
the transmission. The Medical Society
of Berlin now has taken it up with
the same zeal that Koch and other
German scientists displayed In TAX

1t will come into practical use.

stethoscope, or even the unaided ear,
to the region Of the heart he hears, If

In ailments of the heart the rhythm

BOY SCOUT ROUNDUP RESULT

For about three months past, the
Boy Scouts of America in every part
of the country have been engaged in
what Is known as the Anniversary
Roundup. The main purpose was to
make this program of scouting, which
stands for character building and
citizenship training, available to more
boys In the country. In fact, def
mite increase of twenty-five per cent
net gain was aimed at, which would
bring the membership of scouts up to
the half million mark, exclusive of
the 12S,000 men who are giving serv-
Ice to this cause.
Although the main impetus of this
drive was supposed to take place
during February to Is, the Thlr-
teenth Anniversary Week of Scouting,
and possibly the termination Of the
specified period then, the following
information is forthcoming from the
National Council Office of the Boy
Scouts Of America.
The report to the National Execu-
tive board of the chief scout execu-
tive states.
"The Roundup has proven to be the
most progressive and stimulating
thing yet undertaken by the Boy
Scouts of America. 1t has placed the
scout movement before the general
public perhaps more effectively than
at any other one period in the history
of the movement. 1t has caused all of
our membership to think more def
nitely of the necessity of reaching
more boys. AS far as results are
concerned, at this time 1t Is impos-
sible to say definitely what the net
results are. AS to how many troops
and how many local councils have
actually earned the award of the
presidents streamer for going "over
the top" with % per cent increase is
not yet known. From all sources there
is evidence of q keen desire In Sc
curing the full net increase set up as
the original objective, namely 100000
more boys. Although not more than
10000 to $4,000 of this net increase
has actually been reported to the
national office so far, 1t Is known,
from reports that have come in and
from personal conferences in the field,
from one end of the country to the
other, that this represents but por-
ton Of the net increase, which will
eventually be reported to the national
Office"
Therefore, the executive board
unanimously adopted the recommended
ton that the time of the Roundup be
extended until the full 100000 net in
crease has been secured, with the
understanding that the presidents
streamers are to be awarded to all
councils which have already qualified,
and as soon as they qualify, until a
period when records show 100000 net
increase.
1t Is believed that this plan will
serve to meet the equitable claims Of
many localities, where because of sick
ness and other difficulties not I'M

upon volunteer leadership, registra-
lions could not be completed by Feb
ruary 10; and make possible very

and at the same time In no way de

those who have actually earned the
right of award with the time origl-
nally specified.

many grave robberies, they went two
miles farther bach into the hills for
the actual place of burial. There they
made tunnels from 200 to roo feet long

"Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb Is one Of
these. 1t only escaped the depreda-
