Inilale-ExiIale.

Chinese, from the remotest times of
which we have knowledge. consid-
cred an elaborate equipment of the
tomb very important, if not an es-
sential to the future happiness of The
deceased. In the Three-Dynasties
period (2205-1767 B. c.; the Shang,
1766-1122 b. C.. and the Chou. 1122-
255 B. c.. the tomb fittings, at least
of those who could afford 1t, were
sumptuous jade and bronze objects.
The collection included many speci-
mems of these-bronze vessels for
sacrificial purposes, incense burners,
food containers-in fact, all the
equipment of an elaborate ritual. As
sociated with these were timely
wrought jade objects, connected with
the early cosmic worship of the
Chinese Jade objects of well de-
fined forms were sacred to the cos
mic gods of Heaven, Earth. the West,
ETC., and each of these deities was.
in turn. devoted to the protection Of
some particular part of the body of
the deceased and was placed In the
tomb--in It's Jade form-attached TO
that part of the body 1t was sup
posed to protect.
Precious Jewels.
Finally there came time when a
great quantity of gold and silver,
precious jewels and precious art. had
been so buried; a time when rivalry
as to who best equipped dead an
cestor was reaching a dangerous
stage. This brought opposition to
the custom. We may well imagine,
too, that opposition arose from the
burial Of servants and attendants
who were to accompany and attend
the dead one in his life beyond the
tomb.
Strange Objects Warned OF Evil
Spirits.
For that reason, particularly In
the Han Period (2O6 B. C. to 22O A.

the centuries Immediately preceding
and following the introduction of
Christianity; to these pieces attach
number of tales and incidents
showing both customs and beliefs of
these ancient peoples.
The Hereafter.
This belief of the ancient Chinese
in life hereafter was common to
many aboriginal tribes, including
the American Indians, to whom the

the custom was gradually replaced
by that of burying with the dead

the deceased had found useful In life
were included in the burying list;
and the tomb of person might con

utensils, domestic animals, servants
priests and relatives--eyen mode
of a furnace upon which his food
might be prepared.
In addition, to these useful"
things. certain images of strange
gods and terrifying monsters, whose
particular job was to ward off evil
spirits, would be buried in the grave
to protect the dead man In his new
status.
Strict Laws.
But there was continually tend
ency toward extravaganza, even In
the preparation of these articles, so
that il the seventh and eighth cen
turies strict laws were promulgated
regulating the number of objects
which might be so sent on with the
dead and insisting that they be made
from plain earthenware. So 1t is
that most of the collection in this
branch shows pottery of a different
sort from the porcelains OF later
years.
Yet not all was plain earthenware.
Most of the pieces of the Han dy-
nasy are glazed with quality al

They also lost the benefit given them
in recent weeks by expanding car
loadings. The decline in traffic was
due almost entirely to the coal strike,
whose effects will soon wear off. Esti-
mates of loadings for the remainder
of the year indicate a considerable rise
over those in preceding months and
in comparison with the totals OF 1884.
In contrast, the volume OF business
reported by the power and light in
dustry is highly satisfactory, with cur
rent production close to the best on
record. Again it may be emphasized
that the yardstick by which holders OF
utility stocks and bonds should make
their measurements of values is that
associated with earnings and not with
legislation. The preferred shares of
holding companies, whose dividends
were passed or reduced as a policy of
protest against the exactions of the
Wheeler -Rayburn bill, have steadily
increased in real worth since the be-
ginning of the Summer. And, when
it is stated that the Standard Gas &
Electric Co. would not ref1nance its
maturities because of the condition of
the money market and so sought re-
organization of tangled mass of Sc
curities, it is well to remember that the
ease in money and the abundance of
investment funds have permitted the
power and light industry to refund the
largest sum of obligations at the lowest
interest rates in the history of the
industry.

Federal Agent Comments
on Co. Operation in
FingerprintS.

The Indianapolis Police Depart
ment was commended today by Har-
old H. Reinecke, special agent in
charge of G-Men here, for its CO.
operation with the Identification
Division, Federal Bureau Of Investi-
cation, in submitting flngerprints.
The indianapolis department has
increased its criminal f1ngerprint
supply to the Federal Bureau from
90 in 1925 to 1910 this year.
Begun in 1924, the Federal finger
print collection has increased from
810.199 cards, the first year, to
100000.
According to J. Edgar Hoover,
Federal bureau chief, 48 per cent of
the criminal fingerprints submitted
last year were identified as COM
pared with IA per cent in 1924. Each
month at least 400 fugitives are To-
Gated through the system.
The bureau recently opened a civil
identification section, in which eff
forts are made to identify unclaimed
dead, kidnapped persons, disaster
victims, and others whose identity is
in doubt. Here are filed the volun-
teered $4,000 fingerprints of law
abiding citizens.
