EGYPTIAN WOMEN
 USED COSMETICS
Recent Excavations Reveal Sur.
 prising Secrets

Philadelphia, Nov. 15 Pt-The modish woman of ancient Egypt had all the equipment of the modern woman to beautify herself, and more.
 Recent excavations of Egyptian palaces and homes. Mrs. Walter Nowak, Of the Egyptian section of the University of Pennsylvania Mu- scum, said today, had revealed many varieties Of cosmetics similar to those used by the modern woman.
 These cosmetics" said Mrs. No yak, were so carefully prepared and Of such fine material that large quantities have been preserved down through the centuries.
 The Egyptian woman had all the modern woman's equipment to beautify herself and many addition al secrets unknown to us. In addi- ton to liquid and paste rouge and eye preparations the modish woman Of Egypt used carefully prepared oils in order that her skin might have an added luster.
 ''The reason that the woman Of Egypt passed so many hours before the altar of beauty was that she was not permitted to work or par ticipate in sports like the modern girl. Almost her eDtire day was oc- cupied heautifying herself for the magnificent banquets that were the nightly pastime of the Egyptian so- ciai set"

 Meisterknecht considered his brother-in-law's opposition unrea- sonable and threatened to have him arrested on further provocation as a mentally unbalanced person, these friends said.

FRIEND AT PHONE HEARS MAN SHOT
Lawyer at Elizabeth, N. J.,
 Summons Help

Highlands, ,E. J.. Nov. 15 R-An Investigation %tarted when shots were heard over the telephone led today to search for a brother-in-law of Herbert o. Meisterknecht, Ger man-horn inventor and described as a former American naval officer, who was slain at the telephone in his work shop.
 Sound. that P. J. Olde, a lawyer. heard in Elizabeth, fifteen miles away, carried first tntimation of the shooting.
 Olde. talking to the inventor about newly invented gasoline gauge. heard five shots. The receiver crashed against a wall. Then came a thud.
 Olde telephoned the police and Dr. J. H. Rowland, mayor of High lands. found Meisterknecht's body slumped by the telephone. There were three bullets in the back and one in the skull. Police found six shells of .3s calibre on the floor near the doorway.
 Irving ParkeI a lobsterman, said that a man who walked from the workshop yesterday after the shoot ing had handed him a card bearing the name of Alex Schreiber and a Cleveland address, and said, T have just shot my brother-in- law" The man then drove off in an automo- bile with another man, Parker said.
 Parker added schreiber had told him that Meisterknecht had a wife and children in Yonkers N. T., when he married Miss Schreiber, his sister.
 The lobsterman told of an argu- ment Saturday between Meister- knecht and Schreiber.
 Don't believe anything he says" the inventor told Parker. He isn't all there"

RANKING ARMIES
 TAKE OFFENSIVE
Chinese HationalistS Open Drive on Northern Government

Peking, Nov. Is Pl-The collapse of Nankow before the drive of the Nanking nationalist armies has been followed by a resumption of the Ranking offensive against the north ern government of Marshal Chang Tso-Lin and the Ranking troops have been marching northWard ra- pidly until they are now on the Hwai river.
 Even northern dispatches from Tsinanfu admit that the Ranking troops have occupied the town of LingsWaikWan in the province of Anhwei. but claim that the troops of the northern General Sun Chuan. Fang repulsed an effort of the Nan king forces to cross the river at Pengpu and HHaiyuan.
 Although the northern General Chang TsungChang, is hard pressed on the Shantung- Honan border, he is rushing endorsements to General suns aid.
 IL is recalled here that the Hwai river wartime was designated during the nationalist spring drive on Pe- king as the point at which q nation- alist crossing would be the signal for the British legation at Peking to prepare for the evacuation of it's nationals to the sea. At the present time, however. there is no evidence that foreigners here feel the same uneasiness that was felt last spring.
 The new drive of the southerners toward the north fits in with pres sure of Shantung by Marshall Feng YuHsiang. Tsinanfu reports, how ever, tell of a counter offensive by the Shantung troops to regain the kweiteh railway station. The town itself is still believed to be in the hands of Feng.
 There is much evidence that the elimination of Rankings rivals at Hankow is enabling the Ranking leaders to double their forces on the northern front and that Sun

 section warrant such action. The committee from the school board is
 made up of Secretary H. I. Dyer, Mrs. E. V. Woodruff and John H. Fish.

 most of the equipment. Ii is under stood that a special meeting of the
 board of selectmen will be held soon
 in order to take up this matter.
