800 was his brother,
Cheops, who built
- the largest.
e..-- aksszzA - ------z-- Those pyramids
..., ,., were tombs for
kings, and search
ers found the princess in one of
them. The Nile mud seeping into
the tomb had helped to preserve
her.
That princess, living 5000 years
ago, could tell an interesting story
for the movies. She 'built herself
small pyramid with stones given
to her by her many lovers" Where
do you suppose she is now? In
some strange Egyptian heaven,
perhaps, with all those admirers
around her.
England, alarmed by European
war threats, issues an official
white paper" explaining why
9s'The relation of our own armed
forces to those of other great pow
ers should be maintained at fig
ure high enough to enable us to
exercise our influence and authori-
ty in international affairs"
Unfortunately for all plans, the
airplane in the hands of a des-
perate nation might upset all ma
tional authority" just as pistol
in the hands of desperate man
upsets individual and police au-
thority.
One bullet will stretch individ-
ual authority in the dust; 1000 air
planes, attacking the heart of a
great city, might cause national
authority to end in demoraliza-
ton.
England's new defense increase
will be largely in her air force;
that wise nation knows that the
real ocean" in future wars will
be the ocean of the air.
In a desert of southeastern Utah,
men and women, belonging to the
cult of truth seekers" were gath
cred around the body of Mrs. Edith
Dakhal, who died more than a year
ago. You read about it., perhaps.
Mrs. Ogden, leader of the truth
seekers" prayed over the body,
which appeared marvelously pre-
served. The truth seekers" be-
lieve they will bring the woman
back to life, but the pathetic fact
is that it would not in the least
matter if they did.
The important thing is to inn
prove the condition of 100000, 900
actually living on the earth. For
one safely out of it to be brought
back would be unimportant, in
these days, and perhaps cruel.
America holds the worlds "mur-
der championship for all kinds of
murder, at all ages-quantity, quail
ity, variety, volume.
A New Jersey boy, 16 years old,
was sentenced to death.
In Wisconsin, a coroner reports
that little David Holl, two months
old, was killed by two boys four
and three years of age.
They each held one hand of the
younger one, and dropped it on the
floor. It cried and would not stop.
Then, one of the small boys ex-
planned, "We pounded him."
These youngest "killers" puzzle the
law. You can't "try" a four-year-
old child.
Railroads tell the interstate COM
merce commission they would like
fares reduced to two and a half
cents mile, instead of two cents.
The railroads should have all posi-
BILE consideration, for they have
built up this country, but at two
and half cents mile they will
not compete successfully with auto
mobiles carrying passengers for
one-quarter Of a cent a mile.
New York proposes to fngerprint
everybody, new babies included.
The baby of the future will be
busy, with finger-printing, tonsil
and appendix removal, vaccination
for smallpox and a half dozen 9TH
er diseases.
The new treaty with France, re-
ducing the duty on French wines
and liquors by so per cent, inter-
ests California and other wine
growing states. 1t should persuade
them to stabilize the production of
wines, establish official guarantees
of purity, freedom from adultera-
tons, mixtures, and especially
'fortifying" with alcohol.
In Europe, notably in France,
adulteration of wines is an offense
against the law. With us, it is a
business.
For advertising reasons, a group
of men made long distance hike
on a diet of broken grain to prove
the superiority of that diet. They
were surprised when So mixers
showed a total loss of I'll pounds
in weight, while one, 66 years old,
showed a gain of three pounds.
