IN THE GALLEY OF KINGS"

Impressive in many ways is the story of that great
discovery made by eXcavators in old Egyptian tomb
in the valley of Kings Perhaps the most powerful
impression it makes most minds is sense OF Won
der at the antiquity of the objects found and the
wealth. intelligence and artistic standards they show.
There are priceless suits of armor, made all OF
turquoise. There alabaster vases and falence
pieces and carved ivory figures and dnlad boxes and
ewebedeced furniture and thrones and gold and sill
yer ornaments and statues and charots Of artistic
quality which has been surpassed in history, and
many of which the best artists living would find
it difficult to match There evidences of fine arts
which themselves have been forgotten in the long lapse
of years so that no scientist artist guess how
they made.
And all this was but the furnishing of a nausol-
What must have been the visible life and cvlllza-
ton of Egypt in the time when those things were made
some $500 years before Christ? -.
Be it observed, too, that highly complex civiliza-
ton of which the new-found relics are fragment eX
isted only about 600 years afe the date people used
to assign for the creation of the world What thous
ands of years must gone to the development OF all tha
knowledge, art and wealth!
Man seems incredibly ancient and new discover
les continually pushing his beginnings farther back
in the night of time.

THE DTPPEL OPERA COLLAPSE

When Andreas Dippel proposed to take an opera
company from town to town. giving one opera month
in the chosen cities this winter there was much reJoc-
ing among music-lovers 1t going to be pretty
fine thing for those cities, which ordinarily nave no
opera or few days at best, to have company COM
ing in every month with fine artists and orchestra
The organization made good beginning 1t gave
Waqner's HValkyries with great artistic success IN
many cities of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and ONO
Then in Detroit arrived financial smash Dr. Dlppel
has issued statement saying he hopes to resume ms
effort to spread opera the country in this way II
he can get hold of a comfortable working capital"
which he says he made the of trying to get along
without.
Young American artists given their chance to
show what they could do in their country critics
were unanimous as the artistic quality of the work
Perhaps Mr.. Dippel tried this out on the country
too soon but those who believe that America is ripe
for the enjoyment of opera are hoping that IN some
wav the project may be revived and made to pay for
itself Musical taste is developing rapidly The pro-
portion Of those who willing to support such ven
ture is perhaps greater in the little cities than IN the
larger centerS.

THE EMPLOYEES CHANCE

New York merchant has turned over his business
to his employees. The concern had been doing over
81 900 900 of business year. The owner wishing TO
retire intended to sell it. but decided to give the en-
ployees a chance to operate 1t. He has lent them
working capital to start with. Six of the employees
will direct the business and every worker who COM
petes three years in any of the plants Will be gwen
stock in the concern.
This particular business has been unique in its
previous operation in its policy The employees
have worked only five days week, and it is one of the
few dress goods businesses that has had strike
Whether this business will continue to thrive as a
cooperative institution managed for and by the en-
poyees remains to be seen. If those who are con-
cerned show the same shrewd business sense, COM
bined with kndliness to their associates, which the
former manager possessed, little change may be
tced If on the contrary power makes for greed and
errac innovations take the place of sound policies the
end is not far off,
One Of the financial authorities of the day thinks
that continued prosperity in America depends how
permeates all industrial and commercial relations.
Here is a beginning full of promise. If the scheme
works, it may set example for many similar acts
of generosity.
The unkindest cut of ALL in movie criticism, is
the verdict of Penrhyn Stanlaws that of the fem
mime stars are physically perfect.
What this world needs is more peddling and less
meddling.
OF course it is too bad to break nice new resolu-
ton but then you always replace 1t and not spoil
