Scripture tells us was built by Israel

masters. The main construction of the
CITY gate and side walls is $50 feet in
length and 100 feet high. -Four huge
colossi of the Pharaohs guard the APP
proach which is led up to by an ave-
nue. of twenty-four Sphinxes.
AS is we'll known, the fine arts OF
porcelain pottery, glazing, veneer, in
lay and gem work generally were lost
to Europe for a thousand years till
the Renaissance revived them by new
technique or by discipleship in the arts
of the Far East. Three thousand years
before that, Egypt boosted of the most
cunning artihcers. Their productions
equal or surpass those of modern Eu-
rope, China, Japan and India. One can
have little notion of their real mag

epic. Masculine jewelry is today asso-
ciated with effeminacy whereas the
heroic proportions of the Pharaoh
played by De Roche seem to become
more virile by the scintillating wealth
of sceptre, diadem, neckpiece, scarab,
stomacher, armlets, signet rings jew
eled sandals and greaves.
The profuse use of ornaments by
all the higher ranks is shown. To sat
isfy the demand many thousands OF
artists were busted, and besides the
real stones and precious metals which
were carved into myriad shapes OF
beauty. the glass smiths made doub

Khan counsels Confused.

Observation-Disclosures to the
announced intention of khan leaders,
who are gathering for an attempt to
agree on legislative program, to
promote anti-evolution and anti-im-
migration measures, the editorial
columnist in the Washington Post re-
minds them that the ban on immigra-
ton is bringing the Negro race into
a far better economic position toward
the whites that it has ever before
had.
Republican politicians, pulling khan
wires in spite of the official disowning
of the khan by Coolidge, admit priv
ately that the Negro problem may
yet swamp the republican party
chiefs. Negroes are handling more
machinery in industry, each year, and
are organizing among themselves
more effectively. They are getting
more actual power into their hands
than the politicians think is safe fol
the party.

Letters from Our Readers

To the Editor of The DAILY
WORKER-There is another one of
those capitalists grab and get rich
quick schemes" whereby they fool
the hard working people out Of their
small earnings. This time it is the
DE Haven Studio located at $50 So.
Wabash Ave.
This studio sends out agents from
house to house to solicit patronage
from people who like their pictures
taken.
These agents sell a Photograph
certificate" for one dollar down, the
balance. of one more dollar to be paid
at time the picture is taken and full
satisfaction guaranteed"
A friend of mine, an elderly work
ing man, went with his wife to have
his picture taken, in accordance with
above mentioned certificate" which
says that the regular price for one
picture is $500, but for advertising
purposes they agree to take ones pic
ture for two dollars as good as thu
sample and full satisfaction" guar
anteed.
My friend was not satisfied thu
least bit with the proof of his photo
graph, would not take 1t for anything
They offered him to sit for anothe
picture, for which they would charg'
an extra of only" one dollar. M,
friend refused, insisting on the guar
anteed satisfaction" according to for
mer agreement.
The management Of this studi
treated my friend as tho he cam
there to beg some favors instead o
service for his money. They mad
him feel very bad and disappointe
by their high-handed crooked metf
DDS, so he demanded his two dollar
back so long as they do not mo7

vention has been held; according to
reports this year the area seeded with
cotton is 661.0OO dessiatins against
461 900 in 1924. 1t is expected this
year that the production Of fibre will
be 1874 million pools against mil
lion pools in 1924. The program Tor
1866 is 20 million pools.
