str'kingly beautiful girl, and, of
course, she had many suitors,
but, for reasons of state, she was
obliged to choose a prince OF
royal blood for her husband.
Thotmes was selected, and al,
though Aahmes had unquestioned
rights of priority over him, be-
cause Egyptian law permitted q
woman to exercise all rights Of
rulership, she soon yielded en-
tirely to him the government OF
her country. The mystery deep
ems when an examination of rec
ords shows that she possessed a
brilliant and perhaps aggressive
mind.
At any rate, she gave birth to
a daughter, who was to dominate
Egypt completely through a long
reign. Because of Hatshepsut's
devotion to her, we possess the
beautiful portraits of Aahmes,
which are carved and painted in
the temple at DER ell Bahari. One
of these is accompanied by an in
scription which reads. "Aahmes

rulers who preceded Cleopatra in
that land, and also the mother
of Egypt's most brilliant queen,
Hatshepsut. The mystery Of
why she failed to exercise her
rights of rulership and gave them
over to her husband has never
been solved.
One wonders II perhaps
Aahmes was in love with some
commoner whom she dared not
acknowledge, keeping her love
secret, since Egyptian laws
against infidelity were the most
abhorent a beautiful woman could
imagine. It was decreed that any
woman found guilty should have
her nose cut off.
The surmise is strengthened by
a little fairy tale that her daugh-

death Of her father, Thotmes I.
There is evidence that it was &C.

story was that .Thotmes. was not

Even if the airplane is forced down upon the waters of the Channel, the passengers may be rescued so quickly that they will have to use their maginations in order to interest their friends with an account of the experience when they get back home. The air ministry is seeing to this.
 Arrangements for hurrying chan mel craft to the aid of a plane that falls in the water have just been completed and successfully tested.
