FUNERALS IN CUBA ARE
ATTENDED ONLY BY MEN

When a death occurs among the
Cubans the women, even OF the I'M
mediate family, do not accompany the
body to the cemetery, nor even attend
the services at the church. They rare
ly go to the cemetery at all; once. a
year there is day for visiting the
graves-Nov 2. The carriages which
follow the bright-colored hearse, with
its gaily caparisoned horses, contain
only men.

CHANGES IN CABINET

In naming Senator Harry s. New ol Indiana postma ster- general 10 succeed Dr. Hubert Work, and in selecting Dr Work for secretary of the interior II succession to A. B. Fall, resigned, the President has made cabinet changes anticipated for some time.
 Senator New is ahe second membel Of the President official family chos, en since it's original organization. The first was Dr. Work, who entered the cabinet to take the place made vacant by the resignation from the Postotlice Department of Will H. Hays, Sena- 1or New, who has been prominent in .he politics of his state and ot the na- ton for twenty-seven years, has been d consistent supporter in the Senate of presidential politics. He and the President are warm personal friends, and the senator may be relied on to give his best efforts to insure the sue cess Ot Hle administrator.
 Appointment of Dr. Work to the h. terior Department promises to make that prominent division of the govern ment much stronger He is renowned as an organizer, and he will have the opportunity to test this phase Of his ability in his new office, which has jurisdiction over twelve important, and in some instances quite diverse branches of the public service. His home being in Colorado he is sympa- thetic with western views and under stands the needs of Western States.
 The Pacific Northwest, with eXten- siye public lands and great reclama- ton projects, and Alaska, with vast mineral resources, probably are more concerned than other parts of the coun try, in the administration of the h. terior department. Alaska, particular ly. is affected by the policies of the secretary of the interior. Her progress in no small degree is dependent on his attention to her and her problems. Mail service in the North has been ma terially improved since Dr. Work took over the duties of Postmaster-General. Often he has evinced his desire to help ,he northern territory in every pos sible way. With the greater opportun- ity now presented him in the admins tration of Alaska's richest resources, greater interest in her welfare may De expected of him.

BATTLING OF BONES CANNOT BE
 STOPPED

While our professor was declaring trat the treasures taken from the tomb of King Tutankramun were stol- en bootv-cached thare thousands of years ago by native priests-another professor was shedding tears over the motives that lead men ito show such utter irreverence for dead mems bones." One statement offsets the oth- or and we conclude that if the Phara- oh,s show of wealth was stolen goods perhaps it is not irreverent to take the goods a second time and raUle the kings bones about in museums. The fact is that mankind is persistently proping for facts, for we see scien- lists spending years in trying to un- earth some minor piece Of evidence that will establish the missing link and offer a cue to the identity oi the "first man." It is not from sense ol that such explorations are carried on, but from an unquenchaDie desire for knowledge. The discoveries in the Valley of the Tombs, according to archaeologists, will supplement information of value con- corning the early Egyptians, ana so lonp as the early chapters of mans history remain unfinished, the search will go on
