Cheops, who built

Those pyramids
Arthur er,.n.n. 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
a 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
1.-THE relation of our own armed
forces to those of other great pow
ers should be maintained at a fig
ure high enough to enable us to
exercise our influence and authori-
ty in international affairs"
Unfortunately for all plans, the

planes, attacking the heart of q
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 q 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 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-
ieve they will bring the woman
back to life, but the pathetic fact
is that it would not in the least
matter If thew did.
The important thing is to inn
prove the condition of 1900, 1000, 900
actually living on the earth. For
one safely out of it to be brought
back would be uninportant, 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, 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" four-year-

Railroads tell the interstate conf
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 a half cents a mile they will
not compete successfully with auto
mobiles carrying passengers for
one-ouarter of a cent mile.
New York proposes to fingerprint
everybody, new babies included.
The baby of the future will be
busy, with finger-printing, tonsil
and appendix removal, vaccination
for smallpox and half dozen 9TH

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
