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
"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 des-
perate nation night upset all ma
tional authority" just as a 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

A New Jersey boy, 16 years old,
was sentenced to death.
In Wisconsin, 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

merce commission they would like
fares reduced to two and a half
