KING TUT MARRIED
WHEN BUT A Child
Expert Thinks He Became
Husband at Age of Five.

New York.-That King Tutankh-
amen, who died in Egypt some 5000
years ago, was only fifteen years old
when his body was laid in his tomb in
the Valley of the Kings, has been def
nitely ascertained by Psychologists.
The age of the dead pharaoh had
been the basis for much speculation
among those who uncovered the tomb
near Luxor. Howard Carter, who was
the chief assistant to the late earl
of CarnarvQn In the work of eXcavat-
ing the tomb, had believed the youth
was eighteen years old when he passed
away, while others placed his age
higher.
When, however, the mummy was
taken from It's golden human-shaped
coffin and the wrappings about it were
removed until the goden-sheathed body
came into view, the experts, after an
examination, established the age.
Wears Crown of Gold.
On the head of Tutankhamen was
a tall crown of gold. The hands
were elapsed across the breast On
the side Of the body were strapped
two gold-hilted swords and two knives,
the handles Of which also were gold.
On the breast golden stars were placed
to mark the heart and lungs.
. Tutankhamen inherited the throne
of Khun-Aten through his marriage to
that kings third daughter, Ankh-nes-
pa-Aten, afterward Ankh-nes-amen,
two years after her royal father had
passed away. This was during the
reign of the pharaoh, Saa-Nekht, his
brother-in-law. Saa-Nekht is various
ly estimated to have reigned from
eight to sixteen years after this event
before his death and the succession of
Tutankhamen. The latter is estimated
to have reigned from two to nine
years. The former figure is Howard
Carriers and the latter Sir Flinders
Petrie's. Sir Flinders is a noted
Psychologist.
Five When Married.
Thus, if Tutankhamen were fifteen
years old at the time of his death he
would have been only five years old
when he married on the basis of the
lower figure, while the larger figure
would seem to be wide of the mark
Five years of age for marriage ap-
parently is out of line with the Gus
toms of the royal houses of Egypt. for
few, if any of the pharaohs, married
before the age of twelve. They did
not become of age until sixteen years
old.
On the female side it was different,
some of the princesses marrying when
only one year old in order to acquire
rights of royalty for the husband. In
Egypt royal descent passed through
the daughters.
The finding Of the high gold crown
on the head Of Tutapkhamen is dis
covery unique in archaeology, as also
was the discovery of the swords at
his side and parts of the royal re-
gala, for despoilers and thieves usual
ly ransacked royal tombs so thorough
ly that generally the mummy was
stripped to it's wrapping.

Cut Ireland's Number
of Drink Shops in Two

London.-Several thousand of the
$4,000 drink shops in the Irish Free
State will be wiped out if the recon-
mendations of the government COM
mission which has been inquiring into
the liquor traffic are adopted
- These recommendations would leave
one drinking place for every 400 of
population, or about 5000 for the
whole country. The liquor sellers who
would remain in business would be
obliged to compensate those forced
out by levy.
Selling of liquor on Sunday would
not be abolished, but travellers, to
whom liquor may be sold on Sunday,
would be required TO travel ten miles,
instead of three as at present, to
qualify as bona-fde travellers. The
idea of making st. Patrick's day,
March II, wholly dry, has been
abandoned. and the commission has
recommended that this holiday take
the same status as Sunday.

"Old Maids" Hailed at
Church Meet as Asset

London.-"Old Maids" and their
great value to the community re-
ceived whole-hearted recognition from
the church congress at Eastbourne.
In ringing speech, Miss Rosa
mond Shields, educator, who was not
ashamed to admit that she spoke "as
one of Them" declared that single
women of mature age were not fully
appreciated.
She urged them to adopt the slogan:
Forward" and to scorn such
phrase as marrying WELL" for never
before were there such opportunities
for single women.
Relative freedom from home ties
and restrictions gives single women
far more chance than the mothers of
children and the very young women
to go outside their immediate circle
and become interbridge builders be-
tween the different sets and classes"

Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh

THE VOICE
The stalwart Baptizer was moved
by a supreme confidence in himself;
he was not an echo, but a voice. He
was intensely interesting, passionate
ly convinced that new day was at the
dawn and that men must be prepar-
ed to enter into it by cleaning the old
slate and beginning to write anew
The son of priest, he would inherit
the position and very likely saw some
service in the temple from which his
open-eyed honesty bred in the spirit
ual atmosphere of home and nurtur-
ed by his days and nights of solitude
with the sheep, drove him in shocked
surprise over conditions that reused
the wrath of Jesus and caused Him to
the corded whip in protest. Home
less by the death of Zecharias and
Elizabeth, the desert in which Elijah
had disappeared called him and from
its wastes he suddenly appeared like
a flaming torch or the reincarnated
prophet, and taking his place where
the pilgrims streamed over the Jordan
on their way to the holy city, he turn
ed their eyes toward holier city still.
Small wonder that there was vast ex-
element or that a religious move
ment began that was the stalk on
which Christianity grew. Jerusalem
became interested and appointed
committee of priests and Levites, all
Pharisees, to investigate. To them
John claimed nothing except his con-
viction of his sense of mission de-
nying with all modesty and distinction
beyond being a trumpet set to the lips
of God. There's man for you. He
was as honest with himself in the face
of popularity as he had been with the
sham of Jerusalem. And when the
tide turned and began to ebb he was
still the same sincerely honest body
who could not be disheartened by it.

"Bill" Tennil, Of Taylor, whose fast
Fronty was barely nosed out by Mil

worked on his car and expects to turn
the tables on the Duesenberg driver.
Tennil had hard luck last Sunday.
After forcing Milburn to eat his dust
for three laps in the first race, his
hood dropped down and short circuitcd
his first spark plug. In the free-for-

the race only to have the same trouble

the establishment Of an automobile

A meeting of the leagues legislative
committee will be called soon to frame
the bill and rs soon as the prelimin-
airy work has been finished the board
Of directors will be called TO consider

COMPULSORY TITLE.
The law. as defined by Mr.. Edge
comb. would make it compulsory for
every car owner to have attic to his
car, as every real estate owner must
have n deed for his property. This
title would he issued when he applies
for a license.
Similar to the manner in which In
diana. which has had great success
with the idea, handles it, the car own
er would be required to carry his GER
tificatc Of title in a little metal con-
tainer in his car Mt all times. The
certificate shows his name. address,
the license and motor numbers Of the
vehicle. Not 10 carry the title in the
car is a punishable offcnsc.
Under present laws officers can
not even raise an engine hood TO look
at the motor number when they think
they have spotted a stolen car" Mr..
EdgcCOmb declared. With the tide
law in effect it will be easy to find
the true owner"
ASKS SUPPORT.
Under existing title laws in several
states, no car can be sold unless the
seller has a legitimate title and the
title must then be transferred to tho

included in the leagues prospective

''The league will start this, but We
ask support Of all San AntOnions."
