He'll Just Quit.

I'm going to quit this job next
week." said the barber as he lathered
the customers face. 81 haven't had a
vacation in seven years and 1 think
I'm about due. This is one of the few
trades in which the bosses and en-
ployers seem to think a rest is unnec-
essary. / guess 1t began to take root
in the days when shaves were ten
cents and haircuts were 10. 1t was
hustle for the chicken feed, and any
thing that interfered was looked upon
rs being harmful. The only way a
chap could get a vacation was to quit
the job, The same rule obtains today,
so I'm going to quit. Maybe when /
come back l can get job here, maybe
not, but I'm tired."-Detroit News.

Wisdom of Babes.

Dorothy, age five, lives in the edge
Of a village where two of the neigh
bors keep cows. One COW is kept in

other usually is tied in the yard or
along the street in front of the house
where boys tease her. When children
pass she jumps at them with bel
low that sends them running in all
directions.
The other day as Dorothy stood by
the owner of the gentle COW she said:

RICHES IN T0MbS
levels Buried With Rulers of An.
cient Egypt.
Possibility That Wonderful Gems and
Priceless Works of Art Are Still
Beneath the Sands.

A popular interest in Egypts won
derful history has been aroused by the
unprecedented discoveries made at
Luxor. But even the jewels unearthed
in the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen are not
more beautiful than many which have
been previously found.
The trouble has always been that
the tombs hitherto uncovered have in
variably been rif,ed by robbers, and
only the things they overlooked have
been left behind.
A jewel with wonderful history
lay In glass case Of the Royal society
some years ago at Burlington house,
London. It was of cornelian, lapis la
zuli, and turquoise, and was made by
order Of the pharaoh who reigned
about 5000 years ago. The king gave 1t
to one Of his court favorites and when
he died 1t was buried with him.
A robber Of ancient Egypt broke into
his tomb. and upon him q heavy fate
fell, In the shape Of weighty slab
which formed the entrance to tho
sepulcher, and crushed the thief fiat.
Year by year the ruined tomb with
the thiers body was buried deeper and
deeper, so that like the tomb Of
Tut-Ankh-Amen, 1t lay for long CEN
turtles hidden beneath the desert.
A few years ago Prof. Flinders
Petrie and his excavating party found
It. The fallen roof and the crushed
body Of the thief told their tale, and
the excavators were encouraged to
search for what they knew the thief
had not been able to carry of. Thus
at last they found the beautiful jewel
which the court jeweler designed fifty
centuries ago.
The same explorer had another
stroke Of luck in exploring the tomb
Of one of the pharaohs. 1t was found
that at some remote period the tomb
had been entered by robbers, and that
the plunderers had broken of the num-
mified arm Of his queen and hidden it
in a crevice in the wall-perhaps on
being alarmed-and had never returned
to retrieve 1t.
On taking of the wrappings, the e1-
plorers found four magnificent brace
let's of gold, with amethyst, turquoise,
and lapis lazuli in varied and elegant
The gold work was pc
culiarly fine and delicate, though the
metal, being pure, was soft, owing to
the absence Of an alloy.
On another occasion explorers were
clearing the floor of the passage to a
tomb when they discovered secret re-
ceptacle which had escaped the tomb |
rifers Of bygone ages. In this secret
receptacle was little wooden box.
quite rotten, filed with jewels Of per-
sectly marvellous workmanship, which |
was carefully conveyed to the State
The principal Jewel was a breast
olate Of gold, encrusted with precious
stones of great beauty and fine work
On the breastplate were de-
,icted two eagles guarding the tomb.
The rest Of the jewelry consisted OF
girdles, bracelets, and scores
If various little trinkets.
With the recent record find, the
world has been set wondering wheth-
sr, under the piled sand at the edge OF
he desert, there may not lie great
boards Of riches, for the ancient Egyp-
ians seem to have been in the habit OF
,urying with their kings all their bar
)aric wealth.

Alias Warsa1u, Poland

"One feels that. like the lines OF
force about a magnet. Warsaw :
lines OF trade must have existed
from the first. though invisible. Now
they have taken shape in steel and
wood: railroads extending from the
city like spokes OF a great wheel. of
toward Petrograd, Moscow. Odessa,
Vienna. Prague. Berlin and Danzig.
In a Europe at peace IL would oc-
cupy much the position OF ST. Louis
in the United States. lying in a
strategic position between the raw
materials and foodstuffs OF the West
and the factories and consumers Of
the East. and at the same time
helping TO exchange products be-
tween the North and the South. In
addition Warsaw is itself an i'm
portant manufacturing center. Its
trade and industry and politics to-
close to the million mark. making
it one of tho half dozen greatest
cities OF the European mainland.
THE country Of which Warsaw is
the capital must not be looked upon
as one OF the little lands that
sprang into existence after the
World War 1t is more than half
as large as Texas. and has a popu-
lation six times as great. To put
1t more emphatically, Poland's pop
ulation is practically a quarter that
OF the United States.
Situated half way between Pet
rograd, which may be taken as rep
resenting the north. and Venice on
the warm Mediterranean. Warsaw is
probably thought OF usually as in
temperate latitudes. IL is in reality
as far north as the southern shore
OF Hudson bay or the northern
coast Of Newfoundland. Its winter
however, is not so severe as the
location might suggest. but is more
nearly comparable to that of New
England.
He who wanders about the
streets OF Warsaw cannot remain in
ignorance OF the glorious past of
Poland nor of the parts her sons
have played in the world drama.
He will encounter palace after
palace-a large enough number to
entitle Warsaw to dispute with
Genoa the nickname. city OF pal
aces. They were built mostly dur
ing the seventeenth and eighteenth /
centuries when Warsaw was with /
out peer in Europe save Paris.
Among the world famous Poles /
TO whom monuments exist in War 7
saw are Sobieski. who saved Chris
tian civilization from the Turks;
Copernicus. who gave the first ade-
quate conception OF the universe.
and Chopin. who brought into the
world and left for its inspiration
music OF the rarest beauty. His
heart lies enshrined in one OF the

TAKE REFERENDUM ON
FEDERAL EDUCATION

Special to The Evening Jaurnal.
WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-A refer
endum vote on the question OF ex-
tending the Federal governments in
terest in education was begun today
by the Chamber OF Commerce OF the
United States. Organizations making
up the Chambers membership were
asked 10 vote on these questions:
DO you favor the creation OF a
Federal Department Of Education
with secretary in the Presidents
cabinet?
Do you favor enlarging the pres
ent federal bureau OF education?
Do you favor the principle OF fed
eral aid to education in the States
on the basis Of the States appropri-
ating sums equal 10 those given by
the Federal government.
Some Of the principal arguments
made by the majority members OF
the committee against Federal aid
and against creation OF a new gov
ernment department are summarized
as follows which is the same argu-
ment used by Representative Caleb
r. Layton Of Delaware. on the floor
OF the House:
