to the valley Of the Tombs of the

more uncomfortable. than visit TO

THE most comfortable way to make
the trip is to have carriage fer
ried across the Nile-and to drive the
six miles TO the entrance 10 the val

turesquo to make the journey on the
back of a doukey-but that takes
twice as long and is four times as
, hard-to put il mildly. As the valley
, of the tombS Of the kings is located
on the opposite bank of the Nile from

river in rowhoat. an incident OF the
Journey that requires nearly half an
hour, despite the fact that the Sweet
Nile. as it is called in upper Egypt,

1t is necessary to have Il drago-
man. or native guide, no matter how
! many times YOU make the trip, or
how familiar you are with every
tomb and temple. For, while d
dragoman will not be able to protect
you from the flies. he will be able
TO ward off some of the beggars and
he will prove useful in tipping the
custodianS at every tomb. Every
Egyptian guard and caretaker has
his hand out for a tip and unless you
follow the custom of the country,
, which, of course, is the easiest thing
to do, your life for the time being
is not worth living.

a dragoman who speaks Spanish,
Italian or some other language you
don't understand. Then he can talk

Excessive Legislation.

1t would require lawyer three
years of his life to read the laws
passed by Congress and the state
legislatures every year. 1t is i'm
possible for attorneys to keep we'll
posted on the law. Government
regulation is cramping every in
dustry and every individual. The
country is not improving. Some
system of repeating laws should
be advocated instead of agitatipg
to create new ones. On the aver
age, people are fairly decent.
They need less regulation and
more opportunity. We should
vote for candidates for public
Office who will pledge themselves
to repeal laws not needed and to
create no new ones restricting
personal liberty or corporate de-
velopment. A government was
not intended to hamper, it was
intended to help. We need fewer
laws and more enforcement of
those few. LAwmaking has gone
too far. We should turn back.
Going over our governmental ma
chinery, we could find many rough
spots caused by excessive legisla-
ton. Let US take rasp and
smooth off the distractions with.
out adding unnecessary contrap.

Indians Beliefs.
Contradict Darwin,

The Santa Barbara Channel In
dams of California, before the
influences of white civilization
came among them, believed just
the opposite of the modern theory
of evolution, according to j. P.
| Harrington of the Museum of the
American Indian.
These Indians, says Harrington,
thought that all the animals once
had been people and had attained
their various forms by slow pro
cess of evolution. There had been
q time, according to the lore, when
people were the only form OF life.
Gradually the first people" came
to resemble certain animals, into
which they eventually turned.
The ancestor of the owl was said
to have been an ordinary looking
Indian, but rather fat and hairy
and with a habit of inserting the
syllabes "muhu" between his
words. The bullsnake had been
an excessively thin Indian, with
shifty eyes, fleet runner. The
coyote, the most popular animal,
was declared still to resemble an
Indian man, though, it Was ad.
mitted, his hands had become
paws, his nose projected rather
far, and his lips we're black and he
bad grown a tail.
The medicine men used, to say
the coyote still had human speech,
though he uttered little yelps be
tween his words. This creature
was credited with magic powers.
