LUXOR, Egypt, December 29.-
With the removal Of the roof Of the
great canopy over the sarcophagus
of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, the next
operation confronting the excavators
Is the dismantling Of the sides of
the outer shrine. The completion of
this task will virtually conclude the
preliminary work Of this season and
Howard Carters men then will enter
upon fresh discoveries.
Hopes are high here that the sec
ond casket, which the correspondent
is assured never has been opened,
will contain one of those bewilder-
royal jewelry with which the records
of Egyptology are starred.
Heights of Artistry shown
The exquisite golden crowns. neck
laces. bracelets, mirrors and daggers
belonging to the princesSes of the
twelfth dynasty, known as THE
Treasure of Dahshur," which are
now in the Cairo museum, show
heights of artistry the goldsmiths of
that most fiourishing era Of ancient
Egyptian history were capable of
attaining.
Such pieces of the jeweIry of
Tutankhamen as the tomb already
has given UP suggest the workman
ship of the eighteenth dynasty to

twelfth, while 1t is consid ered more
than likely that the royal insignia
and personal ornaments of a reign
ing king will exceed in splendor any
thing hitherto found.
Burglars Left sepulchre Alone.
In their work on the canopy, the
excavators say, they found nothing
to indicate that the burglars who
ransacked every part of the royal
sepulchre had in any wise tampered
dangerous to prophecy as to the
contents of a tomb, it 10 considered
not an oversanguine belief that the
whole collection Of Tutankhamen's
jewelry will be found intact-part Of

shrine is opened in the immediate
future.
There is believed to be scarcely any
doubt, either, that the workmanship

as buckles, clasps. amulets and toilet

refuses to obey the command to come
out. possemen are to riddle the. struc-
ture with bullets from the army rifles.

father-in-law apparently has not
been. definitely established, however.

wooded hills. Bryant was said to
have been seen in the house the af-
ternoon before. he was reported to

RACE zON|NG LAW
DECLARED VALID
Baltimore Ordinance Upheld
by Judge-WiII Be Benefit,
He Insists.
Dispatch 70 The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, December 29.--That
segregation of the races has been
made constitutionally possible by
the Baltimore coming law was the
Heuisler of the supreme bench
yesterday. Judge Heuisler's at
tention was called to the fact
that the working of the de-
cision rendered by him in superior
court on the constitutionality of the
zoning law had caused a great deal
of comment as to just what he had
In mind with reference to the move
rnent OF races about the city.
He was asked If he had in mind
the belief that in the discretion of
created within the city into which
white people could not move and
other zones into which coIored peo-
pie could not move. He said: ''Of
without the slightest discrimination.
The whole ordinance is merely q
proper exercise OF the police powers
of the municipality to promote the
safety, health, morals anu welfare
of the community.
Would Bo0sf Values.
Certainly one of the most potent
effects of such promotion is apprecia-
tion OF property value, and no one
will for moment deny that such
segregation zones would appreciate
values in such zones for all races
alike. 1t would promote neighborli-
ness and work for the advancement
and hetterment OF all races alike"
This statement by Judge Heuisler
reopens tho whole question OF race
segregation, which has been a live
topic in Baltimore for more than a
decade. 1t recalls the fact that at the
time the West segregation ordinance
was declared invalid by the court of
appeals February 4, 1911, the way
was left open for segregation legis-
lation that would be valid, but upon
which no action has ever been taken.
Text OF Ordinance.
The West ordinance was passed by
council in October, 1910. This ordi-
nance provided:
That no negro can move into a
block in which more than half of the
residents are white.
That no white person can move into
a block in which more than half the
residents are colored.
That when a new block Is begun
the builder must specify IN his ap-
plication for a permit what race the
houses are intended for.
In an unanimous decision the court
| of appeals declared the ordinance in
valid on purely technical grounds, but
| stated that the mayor and city coun-
| ell had the right to pass a law segre-
eating the residential districts of the
white and colored races. A few ef-
forts to secure similar legislation
were made later, but were never car
! ried through.

U. S. reclamation service, will be in

osition OF furnishing lands OF the
Gem irrigation district with power
from Arrowrock reservoir. Accord
ing to the Statesman, the plans do
not call for direct delivery of water
from the reservoir to the lands, but
the idea is to have the government
construct a power plant at Arrow
rock and furnish power to the mo-
tors at the districts pumping sta
ton for raising water to the lands
of the district.
In addition to building the plant
the government will be required,
should it decide to furnish water to
the district, to construct a transmits
sion line from the dam either to Bar
Der or diversion dam just above the
town. Power will then be delivered
to the districts pumping plant on
the Snake river over the Idaho Pow
er Co.'s lines according to plan
that is now being worked out.

FISHING BEGINS
TO GET BETTER

Jack Stockton and Tom and Fred
Lindsay took two-day fishing trip
last week over in the Lime creek
country. While this section of the
country does not yield any large
trout, one can catch plenty of the
small brook variety, and the fish
are row rising to the fly.
We had a pleasant visit Friday
evening with Dan Mizer, the ranger
at the Hunter creek forest reserve
station, swapping yarns and being
put next to the topography of the
country. We were invited to go over
some time in the near future and
make the 1000 foot high lookout
station a visit, and we are looking
forward to the trip. Dan is a sweet
little youth about six feet tall, and
it way a pleasure to talk with him.
Fisherman on the Boise tribu-
taries report that the fishing is get
ting better, and some good catches
are admitted.
From all accounts the grouse and
sage hen crop will not be so large
this year as formerly. Many of the
hen grouse are being tagged by but
two or three young ones, instead OF
eight or ten as in other years.

LITTLE DOTY BOY
SERIOUSLY BURNED

The little 2-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. H. Doty was seriously If
not fatally burned a few days ago
while out camping at Hot Springs
near Mountain Home. The little one
fell into a hole of hot water. The
family had gone to the springs to
recuperate for a few days, especially
for the benefit of the child's father,
who is suffering with stomach trou-
BILE. A large hole was dug in the
ground to enable them to dip the hot
water out with a good sized bucket.
The little boy was STOPPING over the
hole and accidently fell in, but in
some manner managed to drag him
self out on the bank, which caved
in, and the child was again thrown
in the hot pool before anyone could
arrive and rescue it. After Caking
the baby from the hole it was rushed
to Mountain Home, where it has
since been under the care of a ply
sician and everything possible is be-
ing done in the hope of saving its
life. The baby was badly burned in
the roof of it's mouth, its tongue also
being blistered, and it was otherwise
seriously burned about the arms and
legs. The little one is still lying in
an unconscious condition and little
hope is entertained for its recovery.

EXPECTANT MOTHERS SHOULD
CONSULT THE IDAHO BUREAU

The purpose of the Idaho Bureau
Of Child Hygiene is to give informa-
| ton concerning the health of moth
ers and babies. Every Idaho baby
cannot be born into luxurious
home, but 1t is the right of every
Idaho baby TO be we'll born and TO
be born into a healthy home. If
every baby Is so born, the home, the
community, and the state are richer,
for as the safety OF a building de-
pends upon its foundation, so the
safety Of race depends upon its
foundation-the baby. And just as
II is needless TO repair the building
If its foundation is weak, so 1t is
useless to try to build up a strong
civilization except through healthy
children. Physicians tell us that
many of the ills of childhood and
many of the serious ills of the moth
er can be prevented by the proper
care of the mother during the
months prior to the birth Of the
baby.
The state bureau of Child Hygiene
has prepared a series OF letters for
expectant mothers. They deal with
the care that the mother ehould take
Of herself in order to have a strong
healthy baby. If any mother would
like these letters for herself or
friend, please send name and address
and the approximate date of con-
dnement to the Idaho Bureau of
Child Hygiene, State House, Boise.
These letters are free and the serv-
Ice is confidential.
