Women graduated from tennis and golf into football and track meets with only a slight shock to Euro pean sensibilities but their demand that they be permitted to enter the Olympic games and other contests with males has brought Frenchmen to an active defense of what they consider their rights to the place of chiefs of the human family A commission of the International Am ateur Athletic Federation has just decided that women must not enter competition with men, or even ap- pear on the same program with them; that they must appear only in approved international reunions. difference that Is not explained
 The women's athletic commission has decided that women should com pete under the feminized rules in separate meets under the supervision of the male federation, until it should be considered desirable to incorporate feminine athletics in the Olympic games" which time it was said had not arrived. The commits sion also has counseled thewomen to hold private competitions in the presence of invited guests, instead of the usual paying public Com menting on this one sportsman said, "it is not very clear, but the inn portant thing to know is whether the women will accept these restric- tions."

NAPOLEON'S TROPHIES
 ARE SENT TO ITALY

VIENNA, Feb. 10.-The crown, the sceptre, the seal of state, the mar shaPs baton and the mantle, all used by Napoleon I at his coronation at Milan on May 26. 1906, have been sur rendered by Austria to Italy in &C., cordance with clause of the treaty of St. Germain. The house of Haps- burg became possessed of these trophies in Italy and carried them off to Vienna in 1S4S, since when their return has more than once been urged by Italy. but without success.
 Of the gold-gilt crown, surmounted by cross and richly inlaid with mother of pearl and paste stones, 1t will be recalled that Napoleon set it or his own head, exclaiming: God has bestowed 1t on me; woe to who ever attempts to touch it." The one sleeved coronation robe of green velvet, trimmed with ermine and em- broidered in gold and silver lace, in which in gold leaves of clover Ma poleon's initials recur a hundred times, always has been regarded as perhaps the most magnificent robe ever worn by monarch at his corona tion.
 II was with many regrets that the release of these objects was pro- nounced by the national assembly here.

DISTRUST AND DELAY /. ABOUND IN EUROPEAN .
 POLITICS, IS CHARGE

PRAGUE, Feb. 1o.-Dr. Eduard Benes. the Czechoslovak minister of foreign affairs. has published n the newspapers of this city his views on the present political and economic situation in Europe.
 the states of Europe characterize po- litical relations at the present time, he declares. In Russia the internal situation is not clear, and distrust exists between Russia and his neigh bors. Any immediate solution here seems improbable. The German problem centers on Germany's re- lations to France, and protracted ne- gotiations seem inevitable.
 The Lausanne conference will hardly solve the outstanding ques- tions of the Orient. Dr. Benes as- serts. Attempts to revise the peace treaties, especially the territorial clauses, constitute a further cause for dissatisfaction. But 1t should be remembered that these treaties are necessary basis for the solu- tion of political problems. Repara- ton and the inter-allied debts are another factor in the situation, and handicap to the attempts at re- construction in Europe.
 The victory of democracy, 1n out come of the war, will be lasting. the minister continues. The philoso- phical thinking of today zee. to be moving in two directions, na- tionalistic and democratic.
 Democracy wishes to avoid future international conflicts through in- ternal Characterization of states, and by the solution of internal social problems. Europe finds itself in a long convalescence. and the solution of all the European questions will require many years. What Is need ed Is an atmosphere of political tranquility, which can be achieved only through the recognition of the peace treaties as the basis for any further action. In economic matters it Is necessary to work hard to es- tablish new system of commercial treaties and to improve the internal administration. This, the minister said. is what Czechoslovakia is es- pecially seeking.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most eff cient disnfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when properly prepared and taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t is not a drug at all but simply ab- sorbs the gases and impurities all ways present in the stomach and in testines and carries them out of lhe system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, and after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and emnently safe cathartic
 1t absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrn.
 Ali druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Loz- enges; they are composed of the finest quality Willow charcoal DOW
  pressed in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting Lozenges. the charcoal being sweet ened to be smooth and palatable
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much improved condition of the general health, bet ter complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of it is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
 Many physicians advise Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges to patients suf- fering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat. They are also believed to greatly benefit the liver. These lozenges cost but thirty cenes box at drug stores.< and you get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Ab- sorbent Lozenges than in any of the or dinary charcoal tablets.-Adv.

NE W EXCAVATIONS STARTLE VISITORS AT EGYPT'S T0MBs
Human Skulls of Early Ages, Found Near Assiot, Are Being Examined at
 Cairo
By ARTHUR wEIGALL

Copyright, 1923, by North Ameri- can Newspaper Alliance and London Daily Mail, New York World and Birmingham Age-Herald)
 LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. 10.-Excava- tions on Tutankhamen's tomb were interrupted yesterday and the atten- tion of the many visitors in the valley of the kings was centered on news of an important discovery made near Assiot, z47 miles up the Nile from Cairo. Mr. Brunton, working near Assiot for Professor Flinders Petrie, British Psychologist. has found a number of fossilized human and animal bones in the shaft of tomb of the First Dynasty. Judg- ing from their condition they seem to be very old remains from some neighboring cavern and had been used to fill the shaft.
 The human skulls found are not of the Low Neandethal type but never theless must be of an immense age and are particularly important as being the first traces of remote man found in the Nile valley. They are now being examined in Cairo
 ] have not yet had an opportunity of seeing the excavators to apologize to them for calling their supposed kings dummy an exquisite portrait of Tutankhamens queen, Nefertiti, as it unquestionably is. but I hope they will not take it amiss. Some years ago German eXcavators founI bust of Queen Nefertiti, wearing this particular crown, but it is one of the objects the Germans are keep ing in the dark. I do not suppose that Carter has seen a photograph, as l have, and therefore can be ex- onerated from having made what school boys call a "howler."

SOUTHERN PAC|F U
 ME ERGE UP HELD BY COMMERCE: BODY
Commission Favors Plan ot Control With Only One Dis- senting Vote-- Nations
 Changed

WASHINGTON D. C., Feb. 1o.- The application of the Southern Pa cific company to retain it's present control of the Central Pacific rail- road by ownership of it's stock and lease of it's lines was granted today in full by decision of the .iuter- state commerce commission.
 Although the supreme court in 1922, at the end of l 1 years of iitiga- tion over the existing merger. held the two roads to be combination in restraint of competition and or dered them separated, the commis- sion-with but one member dissent ing-declared their maintained union was necessary.
 Further. the majority declared the former policy of the nation in de- manding maintenance of competi- tion service. had been reversed by the transportation act of 1920, per- hitting general consolidation of rail- roads under government supervision. On this ground the maintenance of the merger, notwithstanding the courts decree, was declared to be legally authorized and advisable. in view of public necessities.
 The commission pointed out. how ever, that it's conclusions would be subject to review by the courts be- fore they could become effective.
 Commissioner McChord. in a dis senting opinion, declared the find ings of the majority contrary to the will of Congress as expressed in the legislative act which conferred the powers invoked in this case" With Commissioner Campbell. who en- tered a partially concurring opinion, he concluded that the Central Pacific company could not legally lease its line to the Southern Pacific with out specific legislation.
 Chairman Mayors and Commissions CTS Atchison and Campbell said that in consideration of receiving the au- thority to hold the Central Pacific the Southern Pacific should be re- quired to construct the Natron cut off, a contemplated new line in Ore | Gon.

CLEMENCEAU HAS TAKEN ON
 NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

Every day in every way I am getting younger and younger" seems to be the thought of former Pre- mier Clemenceau, even if he does not say it. The dose of American energy he imbibed during his re- cent trip has enabled him to attack the abstruse philosophical work he is engaged in writing with renewed zest. No one who sees and talks with him would imagine Clemenceau is in his eighty third year.
 Dr. Voronoff, the monkey gland specialist is said to have offered to rejuvenate Clemenceau by his cele- brated operation.

Cost Of American Debt Problem Noeu Worrying the People Of Great Britian

LONDON, Feb. 10.-(By Associated Press.)-WheneVer Englishmen talk about financial matters these days and ever since the war money has been the burning question in this country they begin to discuss the probable cost of the American debt
 One authority estimates that the settlement of the American debt will cost every person in Great Bri tain a pound year as long as the payments are made Another au- thority figures that every income taxpayer will be charged an addi tional two and one-half per cent This prospect undoubtedly is sadden- ing. It is made the more so by the enormous increase brought by tlfe war in what is called public assist ance" of various kinds. primarily dolea for the unemployed.
 Godfrey Drage. the publicist, finds that the total expenditures from taxes on this account has risen from 25,000.00 pounds in 1890 to ask how they are to stand this. There is no doubt but that they are standing it in one way by a de creased scale of living. Some critics point to the continued gaiety In the fashionable London restaurants, but the part of Great Britain's popula- tion that never sees the inside of such establishments is a small frac- tion of one per cent.
 The newspapers are still crowded with advertisements offering coun- try mansions and town houses for sale at bargain prices. A London art critic commentin gon the open ing of popular exhibition at the Grosvenor Galleries. said that the most notable feature was the con gregation of celeberities of all sorts. He added, however. that he had never seen such a shabbily dressed group at an art show.
