and sewed and wrote stories and

There was nothing unusual IN
my doing all this. Most country
people do a great variety, of

city people are the versatile,
capable creatures. That is pure
hokum. The average country

The city dweller knows his little

Obelisks from Egypt
Find Way to Memphis

Memphis. Tenn. -LR- Two OBJ
elisks, which in 600 B. C. formed
q doorway for the King Amasis,
twenty-sixth dynasty, at old Mem
phis on the Nile, now rest in the
geological grounds Of Memphis on
the Mississippi.
The stones, with their mystcri-
Gus hieroglyphics, attractivencss and
tremendous weight were taken from
the remains of old Memphis, a city
which was destroyed by the waters
of the Nile hundreds Of years ago.
Memphis on the Mississippi, form
rrly known by the military name of
Fort Pickering, was named by Gen.
James Winchester, who was one Of
the co-proprictors with Gen. An
drew Jackson and Judge John Over
ton of the soil on which eMemphis
now stands.
The name Of the Tennessee city
was suggested to General Winches-
ter by the resemblance Of Memphis,
Egypt. at the head Of the Nile, to
Memphis. Tenn, at the head Of the
alluvial basin of the Mississippi.
The word Memphis means, "Good
Abode"
The obelisks were brought to
Memphis about Is years ago by the
late Col. Robert Galloway, who was
on . world tour. The stones were
purchased from q museum At Cairo,
Egypt, with . fund subscribed by
Memphis citizens.

BISMARCK MUSIC LOVERS TAKE
THE DESERT SONG TO HEART

score Of songs that We'd in popu-
larity.
Bismarck became acquainted with
Perry Askam for the first time last
night. A baritone with a modulatcd
voice in a robust body, he looked,
acted and sang the romantic char
acter he portrayed. At no time did
he permit his abilities to overshadow
the fine work Of his colleagues. He
was a capable Red Shadow.
His vocal foil, Elvira Tamil,
Italian prima donna, was delightful.
Possessing a mellow soprano, she
cast a spell, not to be loosed during
the course Of the production. by her
beautiful Interpretation Of "Ro-
nance" With d~clicacy and dash she
limned Margot.
David Reese as Sid FL kar had a
full, wcll-rounded tenor that shared
with Askam and Tamil.
To Charles Boyle and Myrtis
Crinlcy fell the comedy roles.
Young, vibrant, possessed Of more
than native abilities to act, they
maintained a steady flow of dialogue
and song and acrobatics that did not
have a weak moment. Boyle scored
heavily in 1T" and "Onc Good Man
Gone Wrong"
Sharing honors with the principals
were Gary c. Breckncr as Captain
Paul Fontainc, Charles Villar as Ali
Ben Ali, and John Wagner as Hassi.
Nennctte Vallon's dancing was
good but her salient work was as
Azuri, fiery daughter of the desert.
She was ably set off by Violettc Der
beck, as Clemcntina, whose appear
ance was all too short.
A good operetta is not good with
out a good chorus. The 80 male
voices that pealed out their thunder
the footlights last night we're
exceptional. 1t ranked with the stu
dent chorus in 1.-THE Student Prince"
Thirty dancing girls cavortcd their
graces to make up for their lack of
equality, vocally.
Luxurious settings and a SYM
phony orchestra directed by Cecil
Stewart provided harmony to the
production.

RUM TIP REWARD
AWAITS CLAIMANT

The United States Treasury, which
makes it a business of receiving monies
collected from the taxpayers, had $500
on deposit waiting for somebody to call
for it today, but the prospects were that
the money in question would stay in the
vaults for a long time.
The item is made available to the
person whose information led to the
seizure of the palatial yacht Mango,
owned by Bert A. Massee, wealthy soap
manufacturer of Chicago. The Mango
was seized in Detroit about two weeks
ago and was found to have on board
approximately 40 cases Of choice
liquors. The boat had been chartered
by Louis Mendelssohn of Detroit.
The person who gave the information
which led to the seizure is entitled, un-
der the tariff act of 1922 to 25 per
cent of the net amount recovered by the
Government, not in excess OF $4,000.
MasSee, as an innocent party to the al
fair, was allowed by the Treasury De-
partment to redeem his vessel upon pay
ment of a $4,000 fine and the $500
which can be claimed by the person who
suggested the seizure is IS per cent OF
that amount
The Treasury Department has no in
formation on who might be entitled to
the money. but If man, woman or child
can prove that it was his or her tip that
brought about the seizure the money
will be paid under the terms of the act,
and the department will not disclose his
or her identity, secrecy being a depart
mental policy in such cases.
Pending the submission of any such
claim, there is some uncertainty as to
how to account for the money, and in
the event nobody claims 1t final DISPOSE
ton will be another problem.
