FACT FINDERS
HEAR REV. BUDD
Little Vets" Described as
Insignificant Minority
by Minister
MET IN WILMINGTON

Describing vividly and at length
the good old days when men had
personal liberty and women and
children had none," the Rev. Henry
G. Budd, Dover, addressed a meet
ing of the Delaware Fact Finders
at noon Friday at the headquarters
1118 King Street, Wilmington,
Horace G. Eastburn, local at
torney, presided and introduced the
speaker. Relating his own exper-
ience with Drunken men during
pre-prohibition days, when even
railroads employed police to ride
on trains to keep drunks in ORDER"
the speaker urged that those who
are fighting to keep the Eighteenth
Amendment intact concentrate on
the multi-millionaire "wets" as the
little vets are an insignificant
minority" Take away the back
ing of the moneyed men, and the
prohibition cause would soon be
settled" the minister stated.
Temperance workers were COM
PEELED to take 100 years to accom-
plish their desires under the Con-
stitution. The associations for pro-
hibition reform attempt to defeat
the will of the American people by
so-called referendums and by
straw votes conducted by private
citizens who have no authority to
call the public to their elections"
The Rev. Mr.. Budd stated that the
funds of the anti-prohibitionists
are so large that there is no legit-
innate use for them, and they
therefore constitute a menace to
politics" He asked if the vast
many of whom were
"once wretched and sorrowing, and
who paid the rich mems taxes will
vote this burden on themselves
and relieve the mu1ti-millionaire
who ought to be patriotic enough
to pay his own taxes"

Early Christian Burial
Custom Not Understood

Strange burial customs of the
early Christians were discovered by
the University of Pennsylvania mu-
scum expedition during its third sea-
son of excavation at Meydum. Egypt.
in the vaulted chamber Of a
burial of the Christian PERIOD" re-
port from Alan Rowe, field director of
the expedition, said, ''many of the
Christian bodies were buried in very
bright garments and some Of them
had small pieces of sheepskin piled
over their faces to height of al
most 20 inches. The significance of
this custom is not known to u.s."
One of the most important discov-
cries of the excavators was a lime
stone slab bearing the only known
contemporary portrait of King Sene-
feru to be found in Egypt. Seneferu
was an Egyptian ruler who lived al
most 5000 years ago and who was
responsible for the building of the
great pyramid at Meydum.
Carved in relief, 1t depicts the
king wearing a close-fitting cap,
above which are the horns of q ram

Chirnpanzee Proved He
Had Curiosity, Anyway

Some time ago scientist was
anxious to discover whether Chin
panzees possessed any power of rea-
soning. In the cage of one of them
he hung a banana out of the apes
reach. He also placed in the cage
two or three wooden boxes. The
chimpanzee took long while to
think it out eventually he placed
one box on top of another, stood on
the pile and reached the banana.
Then the scientist gave him an
other test, but it occurred to MIN
that the chimpanzee might think
more quickly if he was not being oD-
served. The chimpanzee was placed
In a room, and the scientist. going
outside, put his eye to the keyhole
to watch the proceedings. He was
amazed to find that he was looking
into another eye The chimpanzee
had got there first.
Chimpanzees seem to have some
kind Of reasoning power. and many
believe that IL taken in hand young
enough they could be educated to a
remarkable degree.
