ROYAL LOVE TALE $500 YEARS OLD
CONCERNS FATHER or OLD KING TUT
Ancient Egyptian Rsked His Realm and Riches to Take
Serving Maid As His Bride
BY Gene Cohn

San Francisco, March 2.-The great
red Egyptian moon. hanging over the
Nile, inspired In men and women $500
years ago the same passions It inspires
today.
Love, as self-sacrifcing and unreck.
oning Of consequences as any love de-
tailed In modern novel, dominated
the lives Of the people Of ancient
Egypt, though inscriptions have
taught us to look upon them as stiff,
wooden-like creatures.
The sensation of royal love scan
dal was filing the Nile Valley when
King Tutankhamen. monarch whose
tomb has just been opened, was born.
For Amenhotep III, father OF Tut
|ankhamen, SO loved that he cast ira
dition to the winds. scorned marriage
alliances with powerful neighboring
nations and married Til, simple
lady-in-waiting.
Scarab Tells Tale
All this Is revealed in an age-worn,
Clipped little piece of stone-the
marriage scarab OF Amenhotep-
which has lain 90 years practically
unnoticed In q glass case In the Uni
versity of California Anthropological
Museum.
And this is the story as the HERO
glyphics tell 1t to Prof. II. F. Lutz,
Psychologist at the university, and as
Prof. Lutz tells it to you:
THE scarab proves there was one
pharaoh to whom love was greater
than throne or power.
ITO understand Tutankhamen one
must know the story Of his father
and Of Til, lady-in-wait-
ing, whom he made queen.
I'VE who gossip over the back
fence about the latest newspaper
scandal can but slightly imagine the
storm that broke over Egypt when 1t
became known the pharaoh was to
wed his mothers maid-that spelled

did just that and, what is more i'm
portant. he made no effort to hide
It. He snapped his fingers at tradition
and broadcasted these scarab notices
that he was to wed a mere servant.
Until this love rebellion the people
had considered the royal pair to be
divine. Now they were disillusioned.
Their faith crumpled. Here was
one of their own kind as queen; a
creature of common clay. 1t did not |

GREAT RECORD in
MAKING CITIZENS
Public Utilities Companies Get
Honors in Americanization Work

Chicago, March 2.--As a result o
ployes of the six public utility com
panies under the direction Of Samue
insult of this city, 99.70 per cent o.
the employees OF these companies arr
either American citizens of have sig
nifed their intention of becoming
such by taking out naturalization pa
pers according to the report OF the
Joint committee on Americanizatior
Of the companies which has just COM
pleted survey.
Record IL Unique
This record Is regarded as unique
among the industries of the country
when 1t Is considered that these pub
lie service companies have total OF
2I.214 employees and their operations
extend over fifteen states and all
classes OF workmen are employed.
This result was brought about by
intensive Americanlzation effort COW
ering a period Of eighteen months
among the employees of the Peoples
Gas Light & Coke Co., the Common
wealth Co., Chicago Elevated Rail-
roads. Chicago. North Shore and Mil
waukee Railroad, Middle West Utili-
ties Co., and the Public Service Co.
Of Northern Illinois.
22,27O Citizens
The report just made to Mr.. insult
by the committee shows that on
January 1, 22,270 or 91.97 per cent of
the employees of the six companies
we're American citizens.
Those who were in possession of
their first papers and who will gain
the full rights Of citizenship within
the next few months. numbered 1898,
or 1852 per cent.
Only 81, or 21-100 Of 1 per cent,
were not citizens or had not taken out
first papers. Some of those who had
not yet declared their intentions of
becoming citizens expected to do SO
within few weeks.
The Peoples Gas Light G. Coke Co.,
of Chicago, which was the first of the
insult companies to take up the mat
ter of citizenship. received first honors
in AUGMENTATION work, every one of
its employees being either a citizen or
in possession of first naturalization
papers.
The other companies under Mr.. In
sull's management. operating in Chi
cago. have a citizenship record almost
as perfect. Only two employees of the
Chicago Elevated Railroads were not
full-fledged voters of were without !
their first papers on the first OF the
years, and they were planning to
take the first step toward becoming
citizens in the near future.
Difficult Situations
The most difficult of the situations
encountered in this Americanization
program fell to the lot of the Chicago.
North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad.
Wori1men employed by that company
were all aliens. Altogether, is ma.
tionalities were represented, with
Croatians and Italians prodominating.
The first step was orders from Brit
ton 1. Budd. president of the COM
pany. disseminating the practice of
keeping labor in boarding camps
by contractors, and the
of system of company
camps constructed and maintained to
attract the better class of men and
keep them contented, the company
announced. The commissary was i'm
proved, baths were provided, close at
tention given to cleanliness about the
camp. and finally Y. M. c. A secre-
AIRY was employed to look after their

which all foreign employees who had
not yet declared their intentions of
becoming American citizens could do
SO. Arrangements were made to re-
ceive the applicants at the courthouse
in Waukegan, ILL.,, and kenosha, Ra-
cine and Milwaukee, Wis. and the day
was made gala occasion. AS result
fthis, the number of employees
among the trackmen who were not
citizens dropped from 80 per cent to
81 per cent.
The educational work proved such
a. success that it is being continued.

pupils the songs of wild birds by
means of gramophone records.

/. ON ADVERTISING

I believe in advertising and regret
that some very nice people don't. I
believe in advertising the benefits of
good dentistry in every possible way.
believe that if more people had their
teeth properly cared for, we would
have less sickness and more health
everywhere. Anything that makes
better health will make better people.
Nobody knows anything until he is
told. For years l have been telling
people about their teeth and how to
make them last Thousands of people
have had their teeth treated in my
office, so l have been well rewarded
for my work. l also have the fine sat-
isfaction of knowing that I have rend-
cred q service well worth what was
paid for it.
New Britain herald., 1923-03-02

THE result of this mating was
Akhenaton, father of the woman
Tutankhamen married. Tutankhamen,
himself, was not born of Til but of
another wife.
The scarab tells us as fine a story
of courageous love as may be found
anywhere"

8. BIG PRACTICE

My dental practice has crown stead
ly from the beginning. 1t is today the
largest in the state, simply because I
have supplied reliable dentistry, at a
fair price, and given better service than
the people could get elsewhere.
Success isn't accidental. A man has
to make good. ] don t say these things
in boastful spirit, but give them as
plain facts. I am proud of what l
have done and am thankful to the pub
lie for the support it has given me.

DOCTOR HANNA'S IDEAS
M ABOUT DENTISTRY IA
2. GUARANTEE

This size OF my practice is a guar
antee of the reliability of my dentistry.
1t is great satisfaction to go to
place where you have confidence in
the management. You particularly
cannot afford to have dental work done
on the hit-and-miss plan. Dental work
should never be left to chance. Poor
dentistry is responsible for much poor
health.
In my office treat hundreds of pa
tients year Every possible thing is
done to give every patient satisfaction.
/ don't feel satisfied until the patient
is I not only do fine work. but ask
moderate prices for it.
New Britain herald., 1923-03-02
4. EXAMINES TEETH FREE

Some dentists make a charge for
looking at your teeth and telling you
what they need. but they will not tell
you how much it will cost to have the
work done until the job is completed.
Then you will get bill that wakes you
up.
In DR.. Hanna's office examinations
and advice are free. A patient is told
what is needed to fix the teeth up in
good shape and what the price will be
for doing it. No guess work about it.
This is my idea of square deal. 1t
is the only way to practice dentistry
on satisfactory basis.

T THE SHARKS

The Department of Justice now
admits that the business of shear
ing the golden fleece of the thrifty
but credulous American saver still
proceeds in the oil fields of the
southwest. Efforts made in the re-
cent months to send the fleecers to
jail or into flight have succeeded
only in part. Too few apparently
have gone to Jail, and the example
Of punishment has not sufficed to
put the others to flight. The more
active campaign now undertaken
against them has therefore album
dant reason. The harm done to de-
luded investors, to tie essentially
useful and legitimate oil business
and to public faith in the doctrine
Of saving ought to be stopped.
We can insure against fire, but
no company can afford to take the
risk of insurinR the public's invest
ments against fraud. When a per-
son dependent on a life's savings
buys a cunnigly baited worthless Sc
curity he buys ruin. His loss resem-
bles that which would befall an I'M
insured shop keeper, burned out.
he may become a charge on the
community, or his family may be-
come a misery spot in it, a spread
ing center of degradation and dis
ease. Above all, the lesson of such
a loss as read by the bystander may
be an unhealthy ane The impress
sionble will rush to conclude that
the only way not to lose their money
is to spend it and enjoy IL.
The recollection of money lost by
himself or by his friends and rela-
tives deters many a man from his
purpose to save. Once bitten, twice
shy. He who has found his nest
egg sucked dry by a sharper takes
revenge only too often on society by
spending thereafter every cent he
arms. His money goes largely into
supposed pleasures that he does not
enjoy. 1t keeps people %unproduc-
lively employed catering to these
unenjoyed pleasures. The fund of
savings. available for the upbuild-
ing of truly useful and progressive
enterprises loses his contributions.
No one can tell just how many dol
lars the country is set back econom-
ically by the ~unarrested, ever
spreading loss started by investment
sharks.

II SLAVE TRADES
LAST GASP

"The world has Travelled far since
Aristotle in the plenitude of his wis
dom declared that slavery was a nor
NAL and natural institution Of So
ciety. Once accepted almost uni
versally as Aristotle accepted it
slavery down the ages has slowly
but surely lost the support Of think
ing men. The social vision broad
ened, the individual life became in
vested with an intrinsic worth for
its own sake, and men and women
no longer looked with indifference
on the barter and sale of human be-
'ings, whatever their nationality, or
whatever their race. In no respect,
perhaps, have we advanced further
than in the all but universal con-
domination in which the world holds
slavery. and its concomitant the
slave trade.
"Yet slavery has not entirely died
off from the face of the earth, nor
has the slave-dealing instinct en-
tirely vanished. From London comes
word that the French and British
governments are much exercised
over the recrudescence of the Afri-
a slave trade, which apparently is
thriving in spite of all the efforts of
these two governments to suppress
it. Here, in Darkest Africa" the
slave tradition seems to be most
deeply rooted. It was in the Soudan,
in Abyssinia, in the basin of the Up
per Nile, and in what are now the
Portuguese colonies in East Africa,
that were found the great eenters Of
the slave trade of the past. It was
from this vast domain of unexplored
and uncharted territory that the
