ROME, May 22.~<With impressive
military and civil ceremonies of SOL
emn splendor. Italy's unknown soldier
was laid to his final rest today under
the altar in the center of the Victor
Emanuel Monument.
The sound of military drums and
mournful music resounded as the

cred Briefly.

Further progress was reported by
members of the Senate foreign rela-

dealing with adherence by the United
States to a world court
The plan for membe rship in the
pres esent court, with reservations which
would divorce the tribunal from the
league of nations, con ntinued the CEN
ter of discussion, but again no indi-
cation was given as to the probabil-
ity of an early report.
So Consider Other Plans.
The committee also considered brief
ly the Lodge plan. which would in
volve creation of an entirely new or.
ganization. and one proposed by Sem
ator Lenroot, Republican, Wisconsin.
Adjournment was taken subject to
call. but members indicated a def
mite proposal would be reported be-
fore the session is terminated
Senator Pepper, Republican, Penn
sylvania. laid before the committee
today tentative drafts of amendments
to the plan proposed by Presidents
Harding and Coolidge, designed to
define the jurisdiction of the court
in rendering advisory opinions, to
place election OF Judges in the hands
of the signatories to the court proto-
col, rather than in the hands Of the
league, and to make it necessary that
amendments to the court statute in
corporated in any plan Of American
mem bership be given formal ratifica-
tion by other members.
Charging in the Senate that the
world court proposal put forward
recently by Senator Lodge was an
apparent attempt to torpedo" the
Harding Coolidge world court recon-
mendation. Senator King, Democrat,
Utah, offered an amended court reso-
luton for reference to the commit
tee. 1t is identical with the one that
failed at the last session, except that
in place of reservations it proposes
amendments to the world court stat
ute.

Rules Governing Judges.
| The low-point total system of
| judging the contestants will be used
by the board of judges in the national
event, which is expected to be the most
| brilliant oratorical meet of its kind in
the history of the country, having the
President of the United States pre-
siding and Chief Justice Taft of the
head of the board of judges.
The low-point total~system allows
each judge to rate the contestants S
which he has heard strictly in rela-
tion to one another, rather than max e
| any attempt to mark the contestants
| according to a theoretical perfect
standard. Each judge ranks the con-
testants as to position, placing this
one first, another secopd, and SO on.
The contestant whose score" is the
lowest wins first. the second lowest
| second, and so on. In this way the
composite mind of the judges is
thought by the authorities to be best
arrived at, and the opinions of the
entire board play part in the final
result.

Odd Marriage Customs
of Russia and Egypt

A queer marriage custom exists
among the Circassians of the eau
casus mountain district OF southern
Russia. At the time Of his daughters
betrothal the father pays only half of
her dowry to his son-in-law. The other
half Is not due until the birth OF the
first child. Then the woman Is given
her long veil to signify that her dowry
has been paid in full. ..
1t Is not until after the wedding
ceremony that the Egyptian sees the
face of the woman he marries. She is
always Heavily yelled and seldom APP
pears outside her home. Many ONE
make a profession of matchmaking,
and often u man entrusts his choice Of
a wife to n of these, who conduct
matrimonial negotiations for a price.
On the day before her marriage the
Egyptian girl goes to her bath, under
a canopy drawn by four lei After
this. the bride and groom give a din
aer to their friends. When the feast
is over a quantity Of henaa paste is
spread over the brides hands, and the
guests make her contributions by
sticking coins into the paste, until her
hands are covered.
