BLAME CURSE OF TOMB FOR EIGHTH DEATH London CP) There has Just died at the early ace of 40 Captain the Hon. Richard Bethel, son and heir of Lord Wcstbury, and there arc , those who say that he was eighth victim of the curse of Tut-Ankh-' Amen. 1 8ix years ago the tomb of that Pharaoh was opened In Esypt by a British archaeological expidition headed by Lord Carnarvon. Within a year Lord Carnarvon died In Cairo from an Illness which developed from a mosquito bite on the face. A month or two later Col onel Aubrey Herbert, Lord Carnar von's half-brother who had also entered the tomb and was stated to have had a premonition of impend ing disaster, also died. Howard Carter succeeded Lord Carnarvon In command of the ex pedition, and Mr. Bethell acted as his secretary. In 1924, there died In Switzerland Sir Archibald Douglas Reid, a fa mous radiologist who had agreed to make an X-ray examination of the body of the dead king. A little later. Professor Laffcur of McOlll university, died at Luxor while on a visit to the. tomb. H. O. Evelyn-White, scholar and Egyptologist, committed suicide the same year. Two sudden deaths connoted with the tomb took place in 1026. They were those of M. Benedite, a French archaeologist attached to the De partment of Aniquitics at Cairo, and M. Pasanova. Both had taken part in the excavations in the Valley of the Kings. i One inscription is commonly found on various Egyptian tombs. It var ies in Us actual wording but its sense is this: "Here lies the Great Kinjr, And whoso disturbs this tomb, on him may the curse of Pharaoh rest." i PRAIRIE OYSTER RIVIERA DRINK Mont Carlo (U) While the side car cocktail makes furore in Paris, the Riviera drinks nothing but prairie oyster" and tiie coster's cocktail as Its aperitif. The prairie oyster cocktail Is made lvth the yolk of an egff, a dash of Worcestershire sauce and malt vinegar, a little enke of Cay enne pepper and a pinch of salt. It has to be washed down with cham pagne, as a sort o( fire extinguisher. The sherry pearly, or coster's ocktail. is popular with the golfers atop Mont Ayel. It is only a glnss of dark sherry In which Is placed a little pickled white onion It Is said to have an immediate effect on Jaded nerves.

GAINS GENERAL IN STOCK MART TRADING LIGHT New York IW Further evidence of Improvement In business brought stock prices into higher ground Tuesday. However, trading while ahead of Monday by 3 00 00 shares still was dull with tickers easily able to keep abreast of the dealings. The lL,t rose by fractions more than two points. Some special gains of as much as six points were noted throughout the majority of different groups. Copper shares were exceptional, easing off on further reports of lack of buying orders. Greater confidence In the Im mediate future of the market was installed by a series of bullish fac tors. First, President Hoover called attention to a turn for the better In employment as set forth in de partment of labor figures; second steel operations increased from &o to 69 for the industry as a whole and 67 to 72 per cent for United States Steel; third, call money was easy at four per cent; fourth, Wall Street expected reduction in re-discount rate Thursday; fifth, auto mobile production for January was expected to rise sharply. New York -(.V) Trade news was rather colorless In character. A receiver was appointed for the Kol- ster Radio company, shares of which were heavily bought last year on the prospects of the manufac ture of home television sets. Call money again drepped from 43 to 4 per cent with the supply plentiful and the demand , lischt. There were nq changes ' in other . monetary rates. London dispatches indicate that there is a 50-50 chance of the Bank of England reducing Its discount rate Wednesday, and a change in the New York reserve rate is expected soon afterward. The close was strong, sales ap proximated ,200,000 shares. SEEN AS KEY TO U. S. RELATIONS Washington, (LP) The problem of American relations with Mexico and Central America Is expected by officials to be greatly simplified by consummation of road buildings projects upon which reports are now being comuiled In Washington. Governmental difficulties in Cen tral America, notably in Nicaragua, have resulted in great part from ineffective systems of communi cations. Every move toward better roads is considered here to decrease the likelihood of revolution with Its frequent accompaniment of intervention and ill feling. A preliminary canvass of Mexi can and Central American highway projects show that six countries will spend in the neighborhood of $100,000,000 in the next ten years on their arterial and connecting roadways. Survey of the highway problem confronting Mexico and the small er Republics shows that the re quirement to be met is adequate funds although engineering difficul ties are tremendous in much of the area. The highway programs being de veloped to the south of the Rio Grande will find a link through the United States the project for a sys tem of Canadian and Alaskan high ways which would open to the auto mobile tourist an uninterrupted pleasure route from the rim of the Arctic Circle to a point below the Equator and to the truckman an unrivaled chain of commercial routes. Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua, Salvador, Costa Rica :id Panama have undertaken Or contemplate important road making projects. NEW BRITISH DIVORCE LAWS MORE LIBERAL London (LP) New divorce laws now hi effect in England tend to temper justice with mercy. A mod ern spirit of broad thinking has re sulted in the new code. Women arc now placed on the same level with men in regards to facilities for pursuing divorce peti tions. Women up to about seven years ago In order to secure their freedom had to establish against men both unfaithfulness and cruel ty or desertion. This code of statutes had the ef fect on the authorities that legal cruelty was not established until an adverse eMect on the wiles physical health and well-being was shown. Bandit Returns Judge's Favor porta. LP A bandit who had received a lxvorable ver dict from a judge, returned the compliment by Baring the judge's life In holdup here recently.

P Glannlni as head of Transemcrica corporation, announ ced Monday night, and the practi cal turning over of the reigns to Elsiha Walker of New York. Tues day furnished the chief topic of comment ft San Francisco broker age circles. The move was not un expected, but the actual announ cement was considered due some time next summer. DUESSELDORF'S MURDER SERIES STIRS CITIZENS Berlin (LP) Ducsseldorfs myster ious series of murderous attacks has given rise to numerous startling and unusual suggestions of ways and means for trapping the killer. One of these was innocently pro posed by a young lady of 21, who, in a letter to the police, offered her self as a stalking horse through which the man mizht be tracked down. All she required, her letter said, was a coat-of-mail to be worn un der her street dress and a steel helmet camouflaged with flowers to look like a real hat. She would then go about the streets an lanes near ine scene ox me auacits, inus hoping to bring the mad assailant out Into the open. Her letter was filed away with the hundreds of others that lately have come to the police in connection with the crime wave. Duesseldorf, for a number of weeks, has been running around in circles, particularly its police de partment. The olllcers dare not overlook a single clue or alarm, even though they know in advance that it is false or misleading. One night they received a note that the body of a child would be found near a certain church at 7 o'clock in the evening. A squad of 30 po licemen was Immediately dis patched to the church; they searched the entire neighborhood; throughout the night, several of their number patrolled the district.

FACTS MAKE REPORT UPON E JOKE (Continued from pnge T) as a fanciful Idea comparable to supplementing the hauling capacity ol a live tone truck wltli tne addi tion of a wheelbarrow. The capacity of these two 48 inch pipes would not Increase the flow pant the bridge by 15 per cent. There Is a suspicious trace ox personal spite in the report con demning the deposed bridge engi neer by the members of the bridge committee, two of whom were par ties to the conspiracy to discharge him and the third at constant log gerheads with the engineer during his service here, when the report of engineers who studied the situa tion at the time of the high water is considered. These engineers place the entire blame upon the contractor who, running way behind his construc tion schedule, had failed to get Uic false work cut from beneath the bridge bjfere the high water period. They base their statements upon tho fact that there was at least three feet of dllference In the "head" of water above and bolow the bridiie. Indicating that the false work was obstructing the flow to that extent. The bridge was designed to ac commodate the maximum flow of Mill creek as determined by the studies and surveys made for the city In connection with the sewer and drainage project by the engin eering firm of Cupper, Simpson & Cooper, and with the falsework removed from beneath It provides ample clearance for the highest water. In the opinion of K. u. uoop- er, who was In charge of the survey and who has studied the stream In detail. None of the bridges present any obstruction to the free flow of Mill creek, as anyone familiar with hy draulics and who has studied the situation will recognize." said Mr. Cooper Tuesday morning. The "bridge In question was de signed to carry the maximum es timated flow of tile stream. Cooner shrows a new light on the situation In explaining what hts study of the stream and Its flow discloses. One of the principal causes of flood conditions which always pre vail along the stream during high water is what is known as tne Wlnslow dam, Just west of Church street, which adds from three to ;ur feet to the head water and is felt as far upstream as the ice plant at 15th street. Encroachment upon the free flow of the stream by privately construc ted wing walls and fills along Its course through the city are a great er obstruction than all of the bridges, savs Cooper. The stream channels below the bridges here, as elsewhere over the city, are blocked with gravel which mill not permit of a free flow of the water after tt has cashed under the bridges- Cooper a&ferts that the menace ot floods along Mill creek will never be removed until the entire stream as been dredged out and widened. "Mill creek should have ft clean 40-toot channel." said Cooper. "And by that I mean 40 feet, not IS. The bridge are of ample width and with the stream properly cleared out will offer do obstruction.' WHEAT CLOSES HIGHER AFTER STEADY RISES Chicago 0J Wheat prices turned shortly after mid-session on the board of trade Tuesday and rose steadily under commission house absorption and short covering. A report from Kanias that the west ern part of the state lacked ade quate snow covering for the zero temperatures caus3d some of the buying; corn firmed with wheat but oats remained steady. At the close wheat was I's to l'i cent higher; corn was up H to U cent and was unchanged. Pro visions were weak. The board of trade closed 15 min utes early out of respect to R. S. Chandler, former president, who was buried Tueseday. Chicago (A-Whet prices tilted upward here early Tuesday helped by unexpected advances at Liver pool. Word also was at hand that a large amount of export business In North American wheat had been due overnight. Starting unchanged to cent higher, Chicago wheat later held near to the initial figures. Corn and oats were likewise firm er, with corn opening a shade to i cent up, and subsequently re ceding but little. Provisions in clined downward. PROFESSOR IN UNIFORM LIFE Columbus, Ohio The life of the average man, in the opinion of Dr. William L. Graves, professor of Englhh at Ohio State -university, is epitomized by the following: He got him a Job. He married a wife. He bought him a Ford. And was fixed for life. The average man. Prof. Graves believes, Is living in the material ism of a noisy, mercaanical civi lization and if he would save him self he must draw away from the machinery of existence which "tends to destroy his capacity for much that is finest in life." Prof. Graves, a genial favorite among the 10.000 students at Onio State, addressed the graduating class. ' 'Jobs you must have," said the instructor, "but you are trained for those; and wives you will take whether or not you are trained f' matrimony; and automobiles, well I read of one man who traded his wife for a used car. "Domestic happiness is not enough nor are all such pleasures as are typified by the symbols of swift transportation, physical ex citement, personal risk and dan ger. If your capable and mater ially successful life is to be given breadth and richness and color, if you are to achieve maxnamimity as ell as wealth and power, if art and music are to lend their indis pensible aid in making you a cul tivated person, if in a word, you are to enjoy the enlarged happi ness that only culture can give, you wilt have eto save yourself, even desperately, from some of the things that will tend to draw you into tho machinery of exist ence and destroy your capacity" for much that Is finest In life."

COPPER REGGVERY PROCESS IS FOUND Pullman, Wash. (A Discovery of a new process for the recovery of practically pure copper from cop per sulphide ores by means of a hydro-electric metalluriglcal pro cess has been made. The process was developed by the school of mines and geology at Washington State college after a year of research. It will depend upon cheap hydro-electric power for its chief advantage over the old methods, said A. E. Drucker, dean of the college of mining. "During the last 15 years certain electrolytic processes have been highly developed for tine ore, so why not for copper?" he said. "We have at last solved the various problems and are able under the riuht conditions to get a very pure cathode copper. 'The small mine op?rator. with the proper conditions at hand, can treat his own ore in the mine from beginning to end, producs pure value, and eliminate the deductions electrolytic copper of marketable in extractions and various Densities usually charged against the ship per when ore is sold outright to the smelter.

(IB The gaunt steel framework of an Im pressive Georgian-style structure which Is to house Yale's radical ed ucational experiment the Institute of Human Relations Is rising where dingy tenements and shops once stood. While workmen swarm over the framework completing the home of the Institute. Yale university offi cials are assembling a faculty of noted biologists, psychologists, so ciologists, physiologists and psy chiatrists In preparation for under taking the unique educational pro ject. The Institute buildings will be located near the Yale medical school-New Haven hospital group. When completed, they should com pose one of the greatest concen trations ot facilities for scientific observation of human beings ever established in this country. Just how the Institute will func tion or what will be its results not even the foundere know. Presi dent James Rowland Angell of the university ha3 been frank to say that the Institute is "purely ex perimental." Millions have been made avail able for the project. Among the contributors have been the Rocke feller Foundation and the General education board of New York. The Yale Dally News, student organ, finds a recent statement, by rresiaeni KObert M. Hutchins of the University of Chicago, the first "lucid explanation" of the insti tute. Hutchins, who as dean of Yale law school helped found the In stitute, is quoted by the news as saying the institution "means the destruction of departmental bar riers that have destroyed the ef fectiveness of the university In many fields. BILLS CUT OUT JURIESJBY CASES (Continued lrom page 1) solutely constitutional." The winning over ot the commit tee clears the road for considera tion of the most criticized phase of the commission's plan, but stormy debate is expected in both houses before the bills can be passed. Many dry authorities in the senate take issue with Wickersham and Pound, doubting the wisdom or the con stitutionality of "tampering with the Jury system." as they call it. The first bill, Christopherson said, would permit commissioners to Inflict line or sentence upon all dry law violators willing to plead guilty. This system would avoid grand jury Indictments. The judgment of the commission er, however, would not be bindinc until upheld by a federal Judge. If the law violator pleaded not guilty, the commissioner would be empow ered to conduct a trial. If found guilty, the violators would have three dr,ys to demand a jury trial. If no such demand were made, the com missioner could impose sentence which In turn would have to be cer tified by the federal Judge. The second bill would place pos session, single sales and small man ufacturers, where only one person is employed, in the catagory of "ca sual or slight violations." Transport ing small quantities ot liquor and assisting in trnspor'iing also would come under this heading. This violation would carry a max imum penalty of 5U0 fine and 6lx months in Jail instead of the heavy penalty of the Jones "five and ten" law. Wickersham and Pound appeared In executive session. Wickersham would say only that he "had a plea sant visit." The secret nature of the proceedings is expected to be called to tlie attention of the house. Mem bers of congress have been criticiz ing the commission lor holdlnir se cret hearings.

General Primo de Rivera, The Marquis of Estella this time ex pressed himself in an article te contributed to tho Barcelona news paper La Vanguardia during one of his viiiU to the capital ot Cata-lun?-. The dictator. In the past, haa frequently Inveighed against old established customs ot mcal-timca and bed-times. On his Barcelona visit, however, he linked these cus toms with the unfavorable trade up to the point where Its imports and exports will at least be equal. "A change in our customs is im perative." he said. We eat much and work little. Ten per cent less of the first and ten per cent more cf the second would be sufficient to balance our national economy. "The plan of life among (he mid dle and rich classes in Spain Is nonsensical. To have dinner or luncheon beginning at 2:30 or S o'clock in the altemoon, and din ner or supper beginning at -.30 or 10 o'clock at nlcht, is absurd and ridiculous and serves to enslave all the household servants, who are forced to work until midnight, when fires in the stoves are put out and the tables cleared. "Or.e formal meal, served be tween 5:30 and 7:30 in the after- inson, would be sufficient, ror those jwho do not stay up late at night, ! nothing eke would be necessary, and for those who do, a cold sup pcr. And before this meal, a lunch iecn between 10:30 and 11:30 and I for those who rise early there could j be a cup of coffee between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning.
