Gcwish TclegraphIc Agency

:
Athens Notwithstanding the ener-
setlc protests cf the Jewish population
of Salonikn the hill imposing Sunday
closing on Jewish shops there was pass
ed hy the Assembly yesterday.
The Jews of Salonika. numbering
about S0,OoO. hitherto have enjoyed the
privilege of keeping their offices and
shops open on Sundays. whereas those
of the Christians remained shut. As
the result of repeated complaints by
Greek trade unions and the Chamber of
Commerce of Salonika against the priv
ilege. the question was brought before
the Assembly.

plying To Deputies who We're opposing
the bill. said that If they permitted
Jewish offices and shons to open on
Sunday they would place Greek busi-
ness firms and shcpkeeperS M disad

JEWISH sc H OIL A X. WHO
PROVED SIMILARITY OF
EGYPTIAN AND HEBREW,
APPOINTED PROFESSOR
OF EGYPTOLOGY AT JOHN
HOPKINS.
(Jcwish Photographic Agcncy)

Baltimore.-Dr Aaron Ember of
Baltimore has been named to fill the
newly created chair Of Egyptology ut
John Hopkins University. The ap-
pointment of Dr. Ember was in recog-
milton of his research work establish
ing that the Egyptians spoke Ian
guage of Semitic origin.
Dr. Ember, who formerly was asso-
ciate professor Of Semitics, is credited
by leading Egyptologists of the world
as the discoverer of the phonetic laws
showing that Tut-ankh-Amen's people
and the Israelites spoke languages of
common origin. While suggestions as
to the Semitic character of Egyptian
have been made by Egyptologists, DIR.
Ember was the first to discover the
phonetic laws which govern the rela-
tonship between Egyptian and Sem
itic. In order to accomplish this he
was obliged to determine the exact
phonetic equivalents of the Egyptian
alphabettic symbols, which in many
cases formerly had been given mac
curate and arbitrary values.
A careful study of the lexicographi-
ical material of Egyptian and Coptic
formed the basis of Dir. Ember's in
vestigations, for which he was pecu-
lairly fitted by reason of his native
control of Hebrew and his acquaint-
ance with Arabic.
The first part of DIR. Ember's work,
in which he describes the similarities
of the two languages, soon will be
ready for publication.
