Just as long as pepsin, pancreatin and other digestive ferments are supplied to the stomach from out side sources, just that long will spells of indigestion continue.
 To effect permanent relief, the stomach must be conditioned to produce it's own ferments.

ARRANGEMENTS DUST NOT TO BE DISTURBED
 DURING THIS SEASON

7 LUXOR, Egypt. Feb. 1s.-Tutank- hamen's dust will not be disturbed this season. By the end of the week it is most probable that the apcra- ture in the sealed door Of the tomb will be screened with wadding on a wooden framework and that the debris of centuries will be piled into the tomb shaft as the most effective protection from theft. A police guard wilr remain throughout the summer.
 The crowds seeking admittance to the fourth chamber Sunday were of such proportions that the Egyptian authorities this morning forbade any further incursion.

OPPONENTS OF SHIP BILL USE FILIBUSTER
(Continued From Page one)

quoted Senator Underwood as con tending during the filibuster against the anti-lynching bill that such course was justified in that that bill violated a fundamental principle, and added:
 "A great governmental principle is now at stake. This Congress is not going to vote yes or no on the ship subsidy bill, but on the question of whether there shall be fastened on the country a contract which was repudiated at the last election
 The additional statement was made by Senator Hitchcock that he could speak with freedom as he was lame duck" and that never was filibuster more justifiable" than against the pending Legislation.
 Senator Underwood differed with the Nebraska senator, declaring that the greatest question before the country today is the guarantee of fundamental rights and that the anti-lynching bill was violation of that guarantee. He added that un- less a change was brought about the Senate would reach the time when it would be discredited by the American people unless it learns how to transact business"
 O O O
 Opposed Bill.
 The democratic leader proposed that the Madden amendment making government aid to ship operators contingent on annual appropriations by Congress be voted on first. add ing that if that were adopted. all though he still would oppose the bill, it's passage would be fraught with no danger to the country. Incidental ly, he declared that 35 out of the 37 democrats in the Senate were op- posed to the shipping bill, but that a majority of them were in favor of allowing it to come to vote.
 Senator Harrison urged republican leaders and the administration to withdraw the ship bill, saying "ev- eryone knows this bill, cannot pass and that it should not be allowed to drag it's weary way along and keep out other legislation" He men, tioned half a dozen measures that should be passed and warned the ad- ministration leaders that unless the shipping bill was laid aside there would be continual stream of mo- tions to displace it in favor of other legislation. mentioning that the Cap- per truth fabric bill next would be brought up as a measure to dis place the bill.
 III lHe pdrildneHldry maneuVerlng the republicans early in the night sessiof defeated a motion for ad- journrIfnt made by Senator Heflin, democ, 1t, Alabama.
 A Jumber of republicans who earlief had voted against tabling the filled poilk bilr rejoined their party majori~y on this vote.
 In the midst of the debate Senator Mcclellan, democrat, Tennessee, asked unanimous consent for a reso- lution inquiring into the liquor sales on government ships before the order prohibiting such sales. but Senator Calder. republican. New York. blocked its consideration The reso- iution asked for detailed information from the shipping board regarding liquor sales during the wet" period.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE, LYRIC.

Few bright spots serve to redeem rather mediocre bill at the Lyric for the first half of the week Wnre none of the acts presented come in the category characterized as poor. most of them seem just to miss being good. The trouble is hard to find for all the performers work hard and at subsequent presentations may make the grade" and get over big.
 First honors must go to Betty Washington, The Sweetheart of the Violin" who opens the show. De- spite her scared voice, and it may be an affectation, she has quite a bit of personality and was well likec by the audience Monday night. Her costumes are a little unusual and make one wonder "why?" She scored most when in the second part of her performance she swung into Love Will Find 8 Way" and two other numbers from "Shuffle Along"
 She is crowded for the palm by the act which follows her on the pro- gram. Will and Gadys Ahern, in "A Spinning Romance This act, billed as an oddity, is bothe finished and subtle. It is well equipped for a warm reception. The girl is a good dancer and better locker, while the man does some unusual work with a lariat. His work is casual and is interspersed with some good lines and some not so good.
 Acrobats, aerialists, jugg1ers, and those presenting acts of a similar nature are as a rule unfortunate in that they must open or close show. Consequently the Three Remarks presenting Up In The Clouds as the closing number of the bill, are hard put to get the appreciation their offering merits. They demonstrate to perfection the value of good teeth, and all in all have a good act.
 Marie Russell in a southern skit entitled, At The Cabin Door," sings well and has a few good laughs. She is assisted by Sambo.
 The headliner introduces Master Gabriel and company in Captain Kiddo,' fantasy in three scenes. Master Gabriel shows talent as juvenile actor, but would shine to a better advantage if his work were a little less studied. He is assisted by Dorothy Webb and Georgia Mack. The vehicle is well written by Jack Lett and is well staged.
 Ashamed of Parents" is the pie ture for the first half of the week.
 The show could be better It could also be a lot worse and if one has no too heavy he should be able to spend an enjoyable two and one-half hours. ". H. l..

AT LOEW'S BIJ0U.
 Snitz Moore and Harry Goodwin. a comedy sketch dealing with the operation of Hungarian restaurant. and Kirkwood and O'Neil, acrobats, supreme, deserve equal honors for enlivening a somewhat draggy offer ing at Loew's Bijou Monday night. Three acts, composed in the main of singing and dancing failed to draw much applause, and but for the di- version offered by the last two acts, there was too much sameness evil dent throughout the entire program.
 In their presentation of some of the best acrobatic stunts ever seen in Birmingham, Kirkwood and O'Neil drew unstinted applause. as did Snitz Moore and Harry Goodwin for their original rendition of some clever Hungarian restaurant scenes and songs.
 Cliff Blanchard was passable with an offering of comedy songs and sayings dealing with domestic diffi- culties, and fractlous home life, as was Rolling On" sea side siesta in which two young city chaps fall prey to the bewitchlng beauty of Miss Woolworth and Miss Childs, clerks nt the aforementioned shops.
