Bare SECRETS
OF MUMMIES
X-Ray Gives New Angle on
Egypt'S Religion.

CHICAGO, June 12.-The theory
that ancient Egyptians were in
tensely sincere worshippers of their
dead is challenged by X-ray studies
OF mummies now being carried on
at the Chicago Field Museum by
Miss Anna r. Bolan, staff roentgen-
ologist.
Specimens thus far studied re-
veal that, while the outside wrap
pings were always elaborate. the
bodies inside we're not always so
carefully treated. One mummy
case contained only a skull and legs
with a few finger bones carelessly
thrown in. The X-ray revealed in
another specimen, that of a small
child, that both arms had been
severed and the upper bones of both
legs broken to make. the body fit
into the case. a long animal bone
was discovered inside the body of
a female mummy, indicating that
embalmers were sometimes careless
in their work.
One Interpretation Of these dis
coveries is that the Egyptians cere-
monious care of their dead soon
became only formal rite, main
tanned through force of tradition.
The X-ray Investigations will be
extended to all the Egyptian and
Peruvian mummies in the museum.
rms technique, which is not in ex-
tensive use anywhere else in the
world, will make it possible to UNI
earth a great deal of new material
without damaging the specimens.

KANSAS CITY
PROVES IDEAL
FARLEY TOWN
There Are Enough Hotels
and Weather'S Good,
Delegates Find.
BIZ Times Special

By Times Special
KANSAS CITY, June 12.-Citi-
zens of this city, at the gateway
to southern hospitality and west
ern breeziness, have every right to
regard delegates to the Republican
convention with injured faces.
For Kansas City has been ma
ligned by some of the Republicans
and camp followers for many
months. Ever since William M. But
Ter, national chairman, threw his
support to this town for a conven-
ton site, he and his municipal
choice have been questioned.
But Kansas City has been royal
host.
1t has more hotels to the square
inch, perhaps, than any city of
similar size. Some of them are old
fashioned, but fashioned with
quaintness and appeal. They are
roomy and we'll arranged for con-
vention purposes. It's athletic club,
which houses 200 newspaper CORE
spondents, overlooks the country
side and offers the luxury of break
fast on the roof.
Frisco itself hardly could have
been more ideal in weather. The
gods Of sunlight and soft breezes
smile upon the party and Kansas
City.
Kansas City is not OVERRIDING the
party stuff, but the delegates are
enjoying the bus rides through out
lying districts. There have been
enough evening entertainments to
relieve boredom. But, in their smiles
and manner-even when merely
answering questions about street 10
cations-the Kansas Cityans-that's
what they call themselves-show
their appreciation of the honor be-
slowed upon their city.
Festoons, banners, bands, hawk
ers-all those color the streets, but
in moderation. The city has not
turned circus; it is retaining its dig
nifty

TO FIGHT AL
Although Not a Delegate,
He May Hire a Hall to
Make Speeches.
BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Sena-
tor Thomas Heflin, most articulate
of the anti-Smith faction in the
Democratic party, will be among
those present at the Houston con-
vention.
Although not a delegate, Hef1in
has decided to attend as guest OF
the party" prepared to take what
ever steps seem necessary to pre-
vent the nomination of Governor
Alfred E. Smith of New York for
President.
Every Senator and Congressman
is entitled to a seat on the conven-
ton platform but this courtesy does
not privilege them to speak. The
oratorical ALBANIAN, however, has
no intention merely Of sitting.
May Hire a Hall
Hef1in said his plan of attack is
not definitely decided, but intimated
he might try to hire hall near the
convention building where he could
crate to Southern delegates on
Smith and Tammany.
Senator Borah was not dele
gate to the Republican convention
in 1920" Hef1in pointed out, "but
he made the best speech of his ca
reer at a meeting outside the con-
vention hall against selling the
nomination"
The Alabama Senator's original
plan was to stay away from the
Democratic convention. His change
OF heart was prompted, he said. by
the outcome of primary elections in
West Virginia, North Carolina and
Texas.
Confident of Whipping AL
an the light of Smiths defeat in
these States" he said, Il am con-
fident we can beat him. I predict he
won't get a single delegate from the
South.
II look for the boys to get to-
gether at the convention and decide
on some one else. Perhaps it will
be Senator Reed. Although I am
not for him, he would be acceptable
to me and I think the South would
take him"
Heflin is to speak at Lima, Ohio.

day. Later he plans foray on AL

WOMEN CROW |
'HARD-BOILED' |
AS DELEGATES
Fewer at This G. 0. P.
Farley, but Those There
Are 'EduCated.'
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Stan Correspondent


KANSAS CITY, June 12.-Won-
en- are fewer in this Republican
convention tina min 1924-but they
are politically more hard boiled'
and wiser.
The majority of the siXty-four
women delegates know a political
trick or two-or more-and particle
pate on the same basis as men in
the numerous pow-wows here which
are going on continually in a dozen
hotels large and small.
They speak out in meeting, and
know what they are talking about.
They are learning to trade and
compromise.
Women Are Educated
The last four years has been an
education. The women who came
here this time, for the most part,
are the educated" There were Ill
delegates to the 1924 convention
nearly twice as many as sit in the
present body Many of those were
designated for the honor" of the
position.
That type has disappeared large
ly from this convention. The wom-
EN- here this year have earned their
positions by political service.
In this convention there are 239
alternates, and among them are
women who have begun their edu-
cation in practical politics.
Women have taken a prominent
part in the Hoover and anti Hoover
fight which preceded the conven-
ton opening. Women yet of local
and State Importance have shown
their political shrewdness-and a
female taste for a fight. Two women
stand out large as factors on the
opposite of this battle-NIrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, assistant attor-
ney general. Hoover advocate, and
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick of IL
linois, leader of the Lowden forces.
Grumble But Little
While the West gave women the
ballot first, they apparently are TAX
ing more active practical interest
in the East. New York leads with
nine women delegates. Massachu-
sets is second with five.
The men are not entirely re-
signed to woman's participation, but
they take their presence philosoph-
ically with only an occasional
grumble when some woman refuses
to yield her position-and refuses
and refuses.
