COAL STRIKE
SEEN LOOMING
IN THEOFFING
cry The Associated PreanD

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
Va, Aug. 12.-Indications today
are that coal strike is looming
in the offing. John l.. Lewis and
his policy leaders have been I'M
able to reach a settlement with
operators about wages and bene-
fits.
1t was reported that some OPP
orators have decided to discon-
tinue paying 20 cents a ton into
the miners welfare fund.
Should they take that action,
Lewis said it probably will lead
to strike.
However, strike can not be
called, under the Taft Hartley
law, until 60-day cooling off"
period has elapsed.
That period begins the day
after June 30, which was the
date when the contracts expired
between the United American
Mine Workers Union and the
coal companies.

Archaeology in Arabic

Announcement of the discovery OF "a
fabulous ancient city" buried in the sands
of Arabia already has stirred new interest
in archaeological investigation of that
neglected country. Wendell Phillips iden-
titles the remains he has located as those
of Timna, town which the historian
Pliny described as containing forty temples.
During at least twenty-five centuries the
ruins of what must have been con-
siderable metropolis have been covered by
the shifting pulverized rock of the desert.
Thus they have been preserved from a
conclusive oblivion.
But the task of exploring such "a
treasure house" of antiquity must give
all but the hardest Investigators pause.
Mr.. Phillips illustrates the size Of the job
when he says that nomads living nearby
dug fifteen feet in quest of the base of
an obelisk without attaining their objec-
tive. The sand has been piling up around
Timna for so long that any attempt to
clear it away necessarily would require
quantities of time as well as labor.
The results, however, should be worth
while. Even If the shrines mentioned by
Pliny are not unearthed, the excavation
ought to bring to light important cul-
tural remains. Too little is known of the
lost civilizations of the Near East Arabia
is "a missing link" of a sort between Greece
and Egypt. 1t easily may have been a
bridge to India, to China and even to pre-

Allan Davis

Perhaps the explanation of the success
of Allan Davis life might be found IN the
fact that in his youth he chose vo-
cation which brought him enduring
happiness No other man loved the work
of teaching more than he did. He was
natural educator. His interests were
basically social. He developed philoso-
ply, If not actually religion, OF cultural
democracy from which thousands of stu
dents benefited. How much pioneer he
was is evident when it is remembered that
when Business High School was established
in 1890 and he was appointed its principal
such institutions were considered merely
experimental There were many persons
who did not agree that merchant ought
to be able to write intelligibly or figure
beyond simple arithmetic or know anything
about the larger aspects of production and
distribution.
Mr. Davis had to prove the merit of his
faith in commercial classes as distinct
from those which were strictly academic.
The task demanded of him a tireless devo-
tion. But he rose to his opportunities
with an ardent spirit, a contagious en-
InuSlaSW. his pupllS were his 1IIeLuS,
and he delighted in his contacts with them,
both as a pedagogue and as a fellow
citizen The number of his civic affilia-
tions was legion. Whatever helped the
community enlisted his cooperation. His
wife, their sons and their daughter COM
prised a dynasty of "aiders and abettors"
of all manner of good causes. The same
observation applied to many of his grad
yates with whom he kept in touch long
after they had gone out into the world to
test in practice the value of his guidance
and example
Gradually, Mr. Davis earned a national
reputation in his profession. He headed
the business division of the National Edu-
cation Association and was active in other
schoolmasters' organizations. But it was
to Washington that his best efforts always
were pledged. The city engaged his heart
in his youth, and he delighted to serve it.
Thus his name will endure in the annals
of the Capital as that of one who was
useful to his neighbors, and this is re-
ward which he certainly would prefer to
all others.
