Instead of praying directly to the sun, the Egyptians gave worship to a god who was supposed to carry the sun from east to west each day. This god was for a long time called 'Ra," but in the city of Thebes the people began to call the sun-god Amen" This led to double name-"Amen-Ra."
 Tall. pointed columns called "obelisks" were reared in Egypt, and these are believed to have been set up in honor of the sun-god. Within recent times, one of these obelisks was taken from Egypt and set up in London, while another was taken to New York.
 Egyptians believed that when a person died his spirit or "doublc'' went to place under the earth. If it escaped certain dangers, it would reach the Fields of Aalu.'
 Life in the Fields of Aalu was supposed to be very much like life on earth. There were fields to blow and crops to raise.
 Men who were in the custom of having work done for them, feared that the next life might not be pleasant if they had to work. This probably explains why small images of servants were often buried with mummies of wealthy folk.
 There is reason to suspect that servants were sometimes put to death when the master died; but this practice was not common during the period for which we have good rec ords. It was much less unkind to bury images of servants with the master than to bury the servants themselves.

 cngers.
 Somewhere at Sea (Aboard the s. S. France) Upon the fourth day, as if by magic, the stowaway makes his appearance.
 This time it's rather good-look- ing young lad by the name of Joe that appears in his passport-and he was discovered occupying a room in the tourist class.
 For two days he had gone without food He had stood hunger as long as he could. And then he had sneaked into the dining room, claim ing that he had been seasick in the interim.
 He was asked for his ticket and couldn't produce one. Instead he flashed his passport. Under ques- tion, he had to admit that he had no ticket. And then he -old a rather strange story. He was a New York lad, he said, with a sea urge. One the Battery wondering where he might go, and then started tour of steamship office windows.
 A stranger came up to him and asked if he didn't want Mediter- ranean cruise. Of course he did. Well, said the stranger, that could be arranged. For $25, one could be slipped aboard a liner and the rest was matter of a few extra dollars to a steward. So. said Nelson, he had been shown 8 cabin and gone in.
 The story reeked of fabrication, and he was taken to the brig. There. few days later, in a grand gesture have made a suicide attempt. At least 9 rope was found about his neck, but no one knows how serious might have been the intention.
 And so everyone had plenty to chatter about over their evening cocktails and the hero may learn some day that he was quite the talk of the ship for several hours.
 And there's Bozz, boyish deck steward. Bozz is going to be an art ist, or know the reason why.
 His father is in charge of B deck. And Bozz was given minor chore of wrapping feet in blankets. He father. But Bozz took his sketch book and his pencils and began making drawings of passengers. While on the Lafayette, he made pictures of fighters and actors and mere deck chair users. And now he has several hundred, and so good are they that he has attracted the attention of famous ones who wan der back and forth and stands a good chance of finding friends to help him.
 Characters stand out upon a boat, for it is-after ala tiny world in which intimate inspection is possi- ble.
 There are the groups who will play bridge hour upon hour, when the beauties of sunset are creeping upon them. And one wonders why they ever decided to take a trip. There's the good-looking athletic girl who is always at ping pong or at deck tennis. All she needs is uku- lele and two college lads on either side to make her completely happy. There's the old lady who is having her first sip of champagne. And there's the callow lad who says he knows the Vanderbilts and upon meeting sparkling wine for the first time marches about the deck in ec- static eulOgy.

OUR DAILY NEWS, LETTER
By THOMAS l.. STOKES

United Press Staff Correspondent Washington. (UP)-Members of
 the house are growing restive under
 a peculiarly heavy fire of criticism recently from the senate.
 They are getting heated up be-
 cause they can't answer back.
 There is rule in the thick book
 which sits on Speaker Longworths 5 desk, written by Thomas Jefferson. which says that members of the house can't refer to members of the
 other branch or legislation before t
 in derogatOry way.
 Longworth revealed just the other day that as long as he wields the |speaker's gavel this rule will be en- forced. He pointed out to the house that it could change it's rules. That, however, does not appear likely. The house thinks that if it can
 not answer back. then the senate at least ought to quit throwing verbal
 brick bats.
 But Vice-President Curtis has
 ruled that senators can say what they please about house members. So there you are.
 But under unusual circumstances, there is way to get around this rule, as Representative Louis C. Cramton, republican, Mich, proved the other day. fred over insinua- tions of Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, that he was seeking a fed eral job at $10,00O a year through
 his influence on the appropriations committee, Cramton pleaded a ques- tion of personal privilege" and pro-
 fo lao A,,Iy fn,, a liar" That started the famous feud between the two which never went beyond a few threats.
 Such verbal tilts in the past have resulted in fisticuffs. It has been some time since there was hand-to- hand fighting on the floor. There are members now in congress who have participated, however. Rep- resentative Blanton, democrat, Tex, had a scrap with the late Represen- tative Hammer, democrat, N. C., in a committee room one day a few years back. On another occasion. Representative Blanton hurled an ink well at well-known lawyer, Frank J. Hogan, who was counsel for Edwin l.. Doheny in the oil suits. That also occurred in 0 committee room.
 Hot words between Representative Rankin, Miss, and ogden l.. Mills, now undersecretary of the treasury, resulted in a scuffle on the house floor that did not get very far. And Senator Carter Glass, diminutive democrat from Virginia, once sidled up to Senator Wheeler, democrat, Mont, very threateningly, during an altercation in the senate, but with out bodily harm to either.
 It was about the time of these

 You can still walk down the street How about the man who hasn't got a leg? Take the problem of payment on your car: You know what great convenience motors arc And know how nice you feel,

WOMAN TAKES REFUGE
IN CAVE BENEATH BARN
General and Husband Crushed as
They Sought to Rescue Her
From Slide.

BY the Associated Press.
TOURS, France, May 20.-Police and
volunteers, directed by Army engineers,
today recovered the body OF Gen. Rob-
ert H. Dunlap, United States Marine
Corps, from the ruins of a barn ad-
Joining the Chateau of CinqmarS, where
he was buried under a landslide yes
terday.
They also brought out the body OF
Denis Briant, farmer on the estate,
and rescued Nine. Briant, alive but
badly injured
Nine. Briant'5 leg was amputated by
a surgeon who had remained at the
place all night in the hope that all the
three might still be living when the
debris was cleared away. She is in a
critical condition.
Takes Refuge In Cave.
The woman had taken refuge in a
Stone Age cave over which the barn
was built. There was air there and
when the rescuers heard her cries early
this morning they managed to run in a
tube, through which they fed her some
milk.
1t appeared that the general and
Briant had been crushed to death as
they rushed into the barn to save the
woman when the landslide came. A
huge rock wedged between two walls
probably saved her life, but another
wall fell upon her, crushing her leg.
Briant and his wife occupied one of
the cave houses which are found along
the banks of the Loire River. The
caves, which are cut into the chalk
flifs, were occupied when the Romans
FIRST visited the region. In modern
titmes glass window fronts and other
Improvements make the cave houses
