 Sister Did at Vassar

New Haven. March 7.-Simon New | comb Whitney of New Haven, a mem- Der of the Yale News Board and one of the leaders in scholarship of the sophomore class of Yale, has done a most unusual thing in college annals by turning down four of the five big fraternities during the recent hold offs" at the university It appears that the Beta Theta Pi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Alpha Delta Phi and Zeta Psi fraternities all offered MT Whit the honor.
 When asked regarding his refusal today young Whitney declined to make any comment. It is against his principles, it is said, to take part in fraternity activities.
 Simon Whitney is brother of Miss Carolina Whitney, who refused the Phi Beta Kappa election at Eassar college last year. His mother is Jo- sephine Whitney, who was candi- date for the State Senate on the Democratic ticket last fall She is the daughter of Simon Newcomh, the astronomer. His father was Edward B. Whitney formerly Attorney Gen. eral of the United States and author of the peoples gas bills in New York city His grandfather was William c. Whitney, the modern language scholar. He is grand-nephew of ex- Governor Simeon F. Baldwin, former ly Chief Justice of Connecticut.

No warrants for J. F. Ford and Sam Cargo in the sheriff's office yet was the report Thursday night from that office, although bonds on which the men were released from the city jail were sent to the sheriffs office Monday. Ford and Cargo were held as suspects in the flogging last May of pr. J. D. Bowling, following a statement by c. w. Tyson in which he is said to have implicated them.

 along not to care tuppence what hap pens to his bones."
 Among the scoffers was a member of the department of Egyptology at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He declared that if the threats of the pharaohs were efficacious, all the scientists who had worked in the Valley of the Kings would have been dead years ago.
 O O O.
 Explains Inscriptions.
 Mrs. Caroline Williams of the New York Historical society. former as- sistant curator of Egyptology at the Metropolitan, was among those who secuted the ancient superstition. un- like the others, however, Mrs. Will Hams was interested in finding its origin and tracing it's growth, and in doing so cited some of the tomb in- scriptions which have given rise to and strengthened the belief.
 "One of these" said Mrs. Williams, was found on tomb of about 2,500 B. C., and read: After any man who shall enter this tomb to usurp 1t will receive him like a wild fowl. and he shall be judged for it by the great God
 Another inscription contained a threat against any one who should deface the inscription on the tomb. To understand this it is necessary to remember that certain parts of the tombs were open so that various rites might be held there in perpetuity. The inscriptions contained, in many cases. the form of the rites, and so any defacement of the inscriptions made it impossible for others to fol- low the prescribed ritual.
 Usually there was a promise of reward for those who protected and preserved the tomb and it's inscrip- tions,' as, for instance. one of about 2,00Q B. C. which assured protectors that they shall become elders in their cities.'"
 It was pointed out that Carnarvon expressed the desire to have the mummy of Tutenkhamen remain in the tomb.

Federal Reserve Board Adds Optimistic Note to Mel
 Ions Statement

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Declara- tions were made in two official quar- ters today that general business con- ditions throughout the east were nearly normal. The central and west ern parts of the United States were said, at the same time, to be making rapid strides towards recovery and the prediction was offered that those sections soon would be in better con- dition than at any time since the prosperity incident to the war.
 Secretary Mellon asserted, on re- turning from his first vacation since he became head of the treasury, that the industrial and financial situation in the east appeared very satisfac- tory" His trip included visits to several important centers. and in all of these, he reported, he found re- newed evidence of prosperity and op- iimisnl concerning the future.
 The federal reserve board declared in its official monthly bulletin, is- sued today. that continued active business conditions in every section were shown by the maintenance of a high rate Of industrial production. Along with this, the bulletin said. there had been increases in freight traffic and employment and larger volume of wholesale and retail sales.  Few Commercial Failures.
 The bulletin also called attention to the unusually low number of com mercial failures reported In Febru- ary, which, according to its figures, was the smallest since September, 1920. The number. the report showed, was A per cent less than in Febru- ary, 1929, and If per cent below the record reached In December. 1921. near the height of the deflationary process through which the country went. There was a marked decline in the number of failures in Feb ruary a S compared with January. and incomplete reports for March tndi- cate another reduction.
 Some concern has been expressed by government officials recently re- garding marked tendencies toward Imitation. but these were discounted by the Treasury Secretary. He said that while there undoubtedly was some speculation, as is true always during periods of prosperity and ex- pansion, 1t need not be considered dangerous.
 Little Increase.
 MT. Mellons views on this phase were substantiated by the bulletin. which reported little Increase in the

borrowings from the federal reserve banks. Commercial banks which are members of the reserve system, how ever, have greatly increased their loans and investments. The total of the two items of assets a few weeks ago was something like s25,70o, 900, whereas the highest point reach ed by loans and investments at the peak of the 1920 expansion was only $400,- 900, 900 greater.
 It was explained by the bulletin that continued gold imports have acted to build up the reserves of commercial banks, permit them to maintain a low indebtedness to the reserve banks and a the same time allow them to make new loans to their customers without calling on the rediscount privilege of the re- serve banks. The reserve board re- garded 1t as important to know that the commercial banks with the con- tinued inflow of gold could meet the extra loan requirements without calling on the reserve banks for ad- ditional accommodations.
 This statement was accepted as a desire by the reserve board to call the attention of the commercial banks to prepare for the time when the steady stream of gold cannot longer be counted on or when ex- ports of gold may actually take place. No reference was made, how ever, to any expectation of an imme- diate turn in the tide of gold.
