1t occurred to me recently to look
up some lullabies in the Victor record
list, and found these that / think all
mothers would like: His Lullaby,
Healy and Carrie Jacobs Bond, sung
by Nine Schumann-Heinl or by Lucy
Marsh; the Brahms Lullaby, sung by
Elsie Baker; a cello Lullaby played
sung by Julia Culp; the Bohemian
Cradle Song, sung by Alma Glucks
rich soprano; the Swedish Cradle
Song, by Gluck and Zymbalist; Tenny-
sons. Sweet and Low, sung by the
Lyric Quartet, double record with
another lullaby on the reverse, O.,
Hush Thee My Baby; or you can get
Sweet and Low, sung by Elsie Baker,
with A Southern Lullaby on the other
side. There are, of course, many more
slumber songs. This is merely selec-
ton of a few you would be lilktly to
enjoy most.
You may have noticed how starched
things will sometimes blister when
ironed. That is probably because it
has been made damp in the "sprink-
ling down" process. Jaunita Shepperd,
in her book on Laundry Work, says
this is the proper way to dampen a
starched shirt: When it is perfectly
dry, take it from the line, turn it right
side out and wiring the upper part
OF. the hack (not including the neck
band) out in hot water Lay it smooth.
ly over the bosom. Then wiring the
lower part of the front moderately dry
from hot water and turn that also up
over the bosom. Lay the dry wrist
bands in such way that the wet
portions will cover them, and roll the
shirt up tightly, to lie over night
The beginner will not think it damp
enough, but it will smooth out under
heavy pressure. and if it is made
damper it is liable to blister.
1t is sometimes said that little
baby upsets the schedule of the whole
family, with the many things that have
to be done for it, the constant de-
mands for attention or services of
some sort. Here is days schedule

Fruit Crafts Successful.

At the Morre orchard below Dayton,
Wash, now owned by the Israel-Erbes
Orchard Co. about 100 outings from
Rome Beauty apples were grated on
Spitzenburg trees this spring. They
are nearly all living and growing but
the most Phenomenal thing is that one
graft had four well-formed apples on
it last week. All but one of these were
taken off in the process of thinning to
allow the graft to make greater
growth. Fruit rarely appears on a
graft the first year it is made, and ap-
pie men have been greatly interested
in this unusual occurrence.

Origin and history of the names
of the Lummi Indians, Mount Baker,
and the towns of Nooksack, Sumas,
Deming and Blaine, in Whatcom
county, Washington, are described by
Professor Edmond s. Meany of the
University of Washington, in ar
ticles published recently in the
Washington Historical Quarterly.
According to Professor Meany,
Lummi is the name of tribe of In
dams in Whatcom county, which has
been applied to bay, indian reserva
ton, Island, point, river and rocks,
all in the vicinity Of Bellingham bay
The Spanish chart of 1892 by Gal
liano and Valdes show Lummi Bay,
northwest of Lummi island as En-
senada de Locra" Lummi island was
given the Spanish name Of "Isla de
Pacheco," which was part Of the long
name of the viceroy Of Mexico. The
Wilkes expedition, 1S41, changed the
name to "McLaughlin's island" an
honor intended for DR.. John Nc
Laughlin, chief factor Of the Hudson's
Bay company at Fort Vancouver. The
name was again changed in 1853 by
the United States coast survey to
Lummi island because inhabited by
that tribe" The name has been used
on all subsequent charts and has
been applied to several other geo.
graphic features in the neighborhood
The Bureau Of American Ethnology
says the Lummi tribe was quite dis
tinct from the Nooksack tribe neigh
boring on the north.
Mt. Baker.
The Indian name of Mt. Baker is
said to be "Kulshan." The Spaniards
called 1t Montana del Carmelo." The
explorer, Vancouver wrote on April
30, 1892: 1.-THE high distant land
formed, as already observed, like de-
tached islands, amongst which the
lofty mountain, discovered In the aft
ernoon by the third lieutenant, and
in compliment to him called Mount
Baker. rose very conspicuous OBJ

that.

elements of mystery and suspense
that are found in the most exciting

1t is a true story, a vital part of
the worlds history. 1t tells of real
people who breathed and fought and

this happened more than 5000 years
ago only serves to intensity the in

British capital, furnished by Lord
Carnarvon, and American initiative,

combined to give this new archeolog-

contribution to human knowledge in
many lines-history, art, science.
Among the dozen or more books
that Mr.. Weigall has written are
two novels of life in the Egyptian
desert, Madeline of the Desert" and
Burning Sands" which have had a
wide sale in this country and are an
indication that he is fully aware of

Most Fascinating g
Find of Kings of

That the art and culture of ancient
Egypt surpassed that of Greece and
Rome in their greatest days is at
tested by the discoveries recently
made by Howard Carter, the Ameri-
can Psychologist, working under the
auspices of Lord Carnarvon to un-
earth the tomb of King Tutankha-
men at Luxor, Egypt.

Exclusive Stories in Star.
When his dispatches begin to ap-
pear in The Star, where they will
have exclusive publication for this
city, the public will be given the OPP
portunity to read an absolutely new
chapter OF the most fascinating his
torical revelations of all time.
Only the bare facts of this greatest
archaeological find in centuries have
Yet been told. The success of Howard
Garter In digging up the tomb or King
Tutankhamen after years of search
ing Is dramatic enough in itself. His
work has been marked by enthusiasm,
intelligence and an infinite capacity
for taking pains. His reward has
been the uncovering of one OF the
superlative monuments of a bygone
civilization.
Ruler OF Eighteenth Dynasty.
King Tutankhamen was ruler in
the eighteenth dynasty of the ancient
Thebian kings, and. according to our
system of dating, aScended the throne
some thirteen centuries before the
birth of Christ. The magnificent rel
les that have already been found in
the antechambers of his tomb are si-
lent, though eloquent, testimony to
the splendor of his reign and the high
state OF civilization at tl.at time.
Guarding the sandals of goldseal-
ed door that is to be opened early in
February are two life-size statues of
the king. They are made of wood

ebony. There is a solid gold crown
on each statue and on the feet of
each there are sandals OF the same
precious metal. The faces show
of the sculptor, besides an artistry
far in advance of anything yet

In this same chamber is a throne

the chariots of the king, the royal
