The Juniors Nnf Sed

TO begin with you might as we'll
concede us the title now instead of
waiting till later and then giving it
to US just the same, we are the life
OF the Winslow High School and we
admit it,
Just glance over the list of not
ables in our class and you will find
more honest to goodness students
than in any othe including the high
and mighty Seniors. To begin with
there is Speed" Smith of basket
ball and Junior Prom fame, pres
ident of the class and one of the
coming top notch Seniors for next
year. John Paul Clark is another
one of our notables and we venture
that no class in the school can boast
of a member who is better known
by the faculty than John Paul.
Our heavy weight and hard boiled
top kick Familiarity known as Scoop"
is also one of the members of the
class that is hard to beat as his
football and baseball record shows.
We honestly think that the Junior
class has the present Senior class
backed off the map especially when
1t comes to class rushes and pie
fights.
Now of course we are not bragg
ing about what we will do as SEN
fors but you can rely on us that if
the Seniors of next year don't put
all the past Senior classes in the
shade We sure resign in favor of the
Freshmen.

FIND 4,000 YEAR OLD.BODY
 OF EGYPTIAN PRINCESS
Body Is in Remarkable State of-Prcs- eryation. With Hair and
 Teeth Intact.

Luxor, Egypt. Jan. P (By Asso- ciated Press) ).-Interest in the tomb of former King Tutankhamen was temporarily diverted vest e q a y through the discovery by the Amer ican archaeologists of the body of an Egyptian princess 4,000 years old, and apparently one of the beauties of the first Theban dynasty which four ished 2,150 years before Christ.
 The bosom and neck of the princess are delicately tatooed with small bluish symbols and traceries emblem atic of her caste. The body is mar velously preserved. The hair and teeth are intact Slight -indentations on the neck. wrists, fingers and an- kes indicate that the princess wore necklaces, bracelets and rings in her death sleep, which were stolen whef vandals desecrated her tomb.
 The body appears to have been that of a slender and statusque, but inn mature girl There is a long mark across the stomach, evidently infict- ed with a hot iron. This has inclined the medical experts to believe the princess succumbed to an organic dis ease, which in ancient times was treated by violent counterirritants. The body will be sent to the Cairo medical laboratory for pathological examination.

Syracuse Boy Dug Out Unconscious
 But Will Recover.

Syracuse N. Y. Jan. 22.-Buried IS hours under a pile of snow in a yard adjoining his home, Antonio Fal- cone, 12, was dug out unconscious at noon yesterday and last night was in a serious condition, although physi- clans believed he would recover
 While police and relatives kept up an all-night search for the child, he was lying hidden and helpless while rain packed the snow about him. That the boy was alive when found was regarded by physicians as almost a miracle. His clothing was frozen stiff. ..-
 A rubber near the snowpile gave the first clue to the boys where about. It was thought he was play ing in a snow house he had built and was trapped when it collapsed.

 The speaker told his audience why congress had decided upon one+ half Of one per cent as the maximum alcoholic content Of beverages. When the question Of defining intoxicating liquor arose. congress investigated laws passed by legislatures which had made states dry" and found that many of them had established one half Of ono per cent as the safe standard of non-intoxieaiing drinks.

AUSTRIAN CROWN WILL
 STAY AT PRESENT VALUE
Financiers Arc of Opinion That Ex- change Rate Has Become
 Stabilized.

Vienna, Jan. 22.-That the Austrian crown will remain indefinitely at about the present exchange value of TO- 900 to the dollar is the opinion of Austrian financiers.
 The league of nations plan for re- storing Austrian finances provides that there be no further increase in the quantity of paper money in cir culation, but it makes no provision for reduction. The quantity of paper issued is regarded as absolutely neces. sary for the normal working of bus mess. since it's purchasing value is something like 14,o00 times less than before the war.
 Eventually all bills of denomina- tions. lower than a hundred will be eliminated. Even a hundred crown note is of little use; it is scorned even as a tip.

Austrian business is in such a sem sitive condition that any sudden rise in the exchange value of the crown would be disaster almost equal to a sudden fall. Interior affairs, as well as foreign business relations, have gradually been adjusted to the ab- normal relation of the crown to other money and it is considered best that it remain unchanged for the present.
 At there is nothing left in Austria so insignificant as to be reckoned in single crowns, tens of crowns, or hum dreds, bills of those denominations will gradually disappear to be re- placed by five hundreds and thou sands.
