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

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.

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.
They found nothing, except a boy's
nat iymg outside tne church, but
this led them nowhere.
Meanwhile dozens of notes have
been pouring into police headquar
ters every day, most or tnem ex
plaining that a corpse may be
found buried In this place or that.

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

a large amount of export business
In North American wheat had been

later held near to the initial figures.
Corn and oats were likewise firm

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."

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

YALE INSTITUTE

which Is to house Yale's radical ed

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

BILLS CUT OUT
JURIESJBY CASES

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

proceedings is expected to be called
to tlie attention of the house. Mem

LATE HOURS OF
SPANISH MEALS
Madrid (LP) A renewal of his at
tack on the schedule ol late hours
prevalent in most parts ot Spain
among the upper and middle clas
ses has been made by the dictator.
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

I for those who rise early there could
j be a cup of coffee between 7:30 and
