HIGHWAYS KEEP PACE.
Roads to Be Ready for S5, 600, 900
Cars in 1885.

When In 1885 there are IS 5000 900 au-

Nation Is nearing point as yet far dis
tant in the future, when all roads will
be built and maintenance win be the
only roadwork. Tile work toward that
end keeps pace with the increasing num-
Der of motors.
That is as near to q prediction of
what can be expected in years to come
that could be had from the Bureau of
Public Roads of the Department Of
Agriculture. The bureau is more con-
cerned with the amazing progress that
has been made to date in the country
as whole in a bodybuilding way, and
is willing to discourse on that at any
length.
The prediction was based on a gen.
eral idea Of the progress in recent years
in road-making, automobile registra-
lions and the belief that increases will
continue on about the same level as
before.

It is not to be expected that there
will be as many new automobiles pro-
duced in 1880 as in 1929, and 1929
taught us there shouldn't be. There
should, however, be a strong demand
for the product of the manufacturers
in our association. Cars now in use
will have to be repaired, and this calls
for replacement parts and shop equip
ment. Probably some who might nor
mally have thought of trading in the
old car will decide to overhaul and
dress it up for another season. This
may also stimulate the demand for ac-

 For Soft Coal Too Hiqh

Washington, March 31 P}-Tbe interstate commerce commission to- day held unjustitiably high the pro- posed rates of the railroads on bitu mlnous coal shipped by river to Colona and Conway, Pa, and from there by rail to Youngstown, Ohio,

MUMY 0F WOMAN
 WELL PRESERVED
Americans Make Find ill Egypt
 Jewels on Body

Philadelphia, March 3t (uP) - The finding of the mummy of a woman about 4,00O years old by the University of Pennsylvania museums expedition at Meydum, has been re- ported by museum authorities, it was announced here today. The mummy, that of Sat Elm Hat. which was in perfect state of preservation, is believed to have been a subject of Scneferu, the ruler whose pyramid is close to where it was found. A number of ornaments rich in informative value and interest to archaeologists were found with Sat-FIer- Em-Hat.
 Around the neck of Sat-Her- Elm Hat" according to Alan Rowe, field director of the museums eNpcdi ton, was hung scmi-circular pendant formed by several concen- tric rows of faience cylinder beads, alternately green and black. In ad- dition to this, a string of large graded beads of polished amethyst was found, as well as a string of exquisite miniature amulets cut in carnelian, jaspe and lapis lazuli.
 "A scarab found in her coffin bore the proper name 'Her-Em-Tat, the Elder doubtless a relative of the deceased"
 Coffins Damaged by Rocks
 Rocks which apparently fell dur ing the years the tomb lay buried by sand, did considerable damage to other cof1ins in the vicinity of the pyramid proper, Rowe said. The name of the original owner of the tomb had not yet been determined accurately by the explorers but the director said all available evidence indicated it belonged to some one connected with the royal family.
 Rowe's report also contained a description of the tomb of Zcdi. a magician who lived about the time of Cheops, about o,So0 E. C. Of this magician, Herdedef, son of Chcops, is said to have written:
 "He knoweth how to put on again head that hath been cut off
 Rowe said that the eNpedition's s excavation work at Meydum proved far richer in results than expected and predicted other and more inn portant finds will be made there in the future.

Pastor Uses Schmalz
 As Example in Sermon

George F. Schmalz, slayer of Mary Nelicka. IT, was used as an eX- ample indicating that a life of crime does not pay by Rev. Dr. George w. c. Hill pastor of South Congrega- tional church, in his comments on film, "The Last of Mrs. Cheney" shown in the church last night.
 After stating that the world was made for good living and righteous
 ness, Dr. Hill said, Docs crime pay? Ask poor Schmalz. I am not trying to single him out but his case is familiar to all of you. If he could have looked forward years ago and seen Wethersfield as his destination do you think he would have done differently? He would and so would all his other com- panions in prison. I wish I could take the boys and girls who want a fling at life through our lails, asylums and poor houses. They wouldn't need to have the moral pointed out to them. It is obvious. Crime doesn't pay because the man who leads a life of crime IS going against the current of the times
