AT TUTANKHAMEN'S TOMB

In reading of the remarkable discov-
cries made by eNcavators in Egypt during
the last few weeks. Americans will think
mostly of the practical uses to which such
information may be put. Their imagina-
ton will be fired. and their sense OF the
romantic stimulated, by descriptions OF
the objects found. For example there
were several vases, each carved out of
solid block OF translucent alabastcr and
each containing perfume As antiques the
vases are, OF course, priceless. But no
doubt the average Americans thoughts
will dwell longest on the report that this
perfume. after 5000 years, still retains its
scent. May not something Of value to
science be learned from such discoveries?
Naturally the imagination will be cxer-
cised in other ways. By-gonc glories will
be pictured in the minds eye as the rich
furnishings-th gold chairs, the ivory
stools and similar objccts-arc contem-
plated Just how much wealth the ex-
Cavatcd articles represent is another sub
jcct for speculation. But Americans in
general, it may be assumed, will approach
King Iutankhamen'S tomb-through the
medium OF imaginatiOn-in a spirit OF
scientific research rather than in one OF
awe or reverence.
Somewhat different, it seems, is the at
titudc OF the English, and probably of
other Europeans. While they, too-at
least the EngIish--rcgard the discoveries
from a scientific standpoint, they are APP
HarcntIy inclined to apologize for what
they fear might be defined as desecra-
ton Of royalty. That feeling on their part
finds natural antccedent in their own
customs and ideals. They would not UNI

the speeches in the House of Represen

And why not?"
Because we never could agree on

congressman.
One of the new simplifying devices
has been installed in the House. Six
"lillies" attached TO the ceiling over
the speakers desk shoot sound waves
in as many directions. There are six
microphones at strategic points in the
body of the House. One Is in front
of the clerk, two others on the desk
of the floor leaders. and the Others
disposed where they will be most use
full. In the front row Of the gallery
reserved for members and their wives,
sits an alert young man at a key
board. When a member rises TO speak
he turns on the miCrOphone nearest
him, for only one of the amplifiers
can be used at one time

| derstand how Americans-"even' Ameri
cans-could enter the tomb of a king
albeit he had been dead thirty centuries
without treading more lightly than they
would in entering the last resting place
of one who never wore a bejeweled crown
or welded a gem-studded scepter.
So, it is not surprising to read, in an
English magazine, Il rather naive attempt
to justify the project which Lord Carna-
Won and Howard Carter have laboriously
patiently carried to such high degree OF
success as recent cable dispatches have re-
ported. Recalling that the tomb of Tu-

Systematically robbed" and again, during
the reign of Ramescs * when the royal
tOmbs were inspected and re-sealed-the
Spectator says: 1T must exercise the
thoughts Of the scrupulous to determine in
what light we should look upon this, the
third entry"
There are further words of apology For
example: ut is certainly for no private
gain that the dead king has been visited
in his tomb; certainly,atoo, the sentiment
al objections to the elimination of corpses
will not weigh with us in dealing with a
man who died so long ago" Similar in
spirit is the Spectators suggestion that,
if the objects discovered should be re-
moved for the sake OF safety and in the
interest of science, replicas of them ought
to be placed in the tomb out of respect
for Tutankhamen's obvious preference for
the place OF his interment.

Chinese guide, in whispered awe: "Allee

plain that there were no kings in Ameri-
ca; that when a president died his body
was placed in a comparatively simple
tomb, and that the erection of such tomb
did not require such slavish toll by thou
sands of poor workmen receiving barely
a pittanCc for lifetime of labor; and that,
above all, death in this country, even Of
the greatest, did not mark the beginning
of such reign as is recognized in the
OF the Chinese. But of

MILWAUKEE,. Sept. 17-The coal
situation and its problems will be
joined in discussion with those of the

Equipment The relation between EN-
ployer and employee in industry will
be the principal subject.
A preventative OF, the federal coal
commission will attend for the purpose
of resenting the viewpoint of the com
mission relative to the bituminous
and anthracite coal industries. The
report of this commission as 1t affects
the soft coal industry will be pub

The industrial cooperation confer
ences during the convention will be
directly related to the coal industry,
in which all points of view will be
represented. The INDUSTRIAL ooper-
ative Division of the Congress is now
organized in 23 states. James j.
Davis, secretary of labor, will speak
on the essential factors in the de-
velopment of policy in obtaining
permanent industrial peace in the
mining industry.
In the metal mining section, three
problems will be presented for dis
cussion-that of silver producers in
connection with the elimination Of
