On the other hand, there will be a few suits with coats extending almost to the knees and skirts of moderate width. These will be just as smart, the best mo- distes declared. Men's sack suits, to be smart, must have very short coats with a cut-away effect in front. Their top- coats will be very full and very loud. In fact, the designs for both will be largely plaids. Neckwear will be al- most Paisley in design, which means extremely gaudy, with a few polka- dotted fdulards and bow ties. The Stiff collar is coming back into favor and every really up-to-the-minute dressed man will wear in his upper coat pocket a handkerchief to match his tie. Fashions Overlook Feet. No changes have been madé in foot- wear_for eigther men or women, and Easter hats for the men will be either derby or soft felt. The colors, how- ever, will be lighter and grays will be seen to a- greater extent this Easter than ever before. An advance showing of straw hats, however, indi- cates extreme styles this summer. The brims are to be almost half an inch thick, one shop declared, and the crowns moderately high. In ap- pearance they are very top heavy.

Everything is in readiness for the| opening tomorrow night of the Kal- lipolis Grotto's two-week carnival, which will be held in the Central Coliseum, at 9th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue. The big auditorlum has been transformed into a play- ground for the occaslon, which is ex- pected to surpass anything of its character ever before staged by the iled Prophets. With a message of greeting to the Grotto fraternity, E. Craige Pelouze of Richmond, Va., grand monarch of the Mystic Order of the Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm, will formally open the elaborate fair at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow evening. A number of other special feutures also have been arranged for the opening celebration. “57 Varieties” of Fun. The proverbial fifty-seven varieties of attractions have been corralled by the Grotto committee in charge for the entertainment of those who are expected to attend. They range from vaudeville shows to extensive ex- hibits by merchants and manufac- turers of Washington. Headlining the aggregation of vaudeville stars is Bebe Rohmouje, an Egyptian dancer, who will present her latest sensational creation, “the King Tut” dance. Other outstanding vaudeville attractions include the fa- mous Dixie Minstrel Troupe, both end men of which were at one time with Lew Dockstader, and Jerry Ripp, an orlginal jazz dancer. Besides 'the vaudeville performances there will be novelty games, side shows and con- tinuous dancing, music for which will be furnished by the Grotto's own orchestra. Concerts also will be given by the fraternity's band. Will Exhibit Engraving.

Commissioners Proclaim Tuesday, April 24, Arbor Day In proclaiming Tuesday, April 24, Arbor day in the Nat.onal Capital the Commissioners vesterday took occa- sion to appeal to the people of Wash- ington to co-operate in the harmoni- ous planting of shrubbery and flow- ers and in the upkeep of thelr lawns. Ordinarily the District observes the third Friday in April as Arbor day. The change was made this vear be- cause President Harding has set aside the perlod from April 22 to 28 as For- est Protection week, and Tuesday of that week is to be known as Tree The prociamation is signed by Com- missioners Rudolph, Oyster and Kel- ler, and reads as follows: “With the approach of spring, as| Washington appears to us once more in radiant verdancy, the Commission- ers of the o that magnificent gift bequeathed to us through the foresight of the fath ers of the city—our trees. To Wash- ington have been given spaclous, shady avenues; gorgeous, leafy as- pects; that set her first in rank among the well planted citles of the nation; and to her, by this gift, long as her citizens recognize their | responsibilities.

The report picks up the main outlines of the history of Ethiopia from 300 B. C., where Dr. Reisner's earlier report of Tesearches at Napata left offt. The cap- ital of Ethiopia was changed from Nab- ata to Meroe at that time. Dr. Reisner, whoser report from Nap- ata made it possible for the first time to write the history of Ethiopia from 750 B. C. to 300 B. C., now brings the story of the kingdom in main outline through the following six and one-half centuries up to its conquest by the Abss- sinians. about 350 years after Christ. Determine Chronologieal Basis. The principal” achlevement of the e pedition during the past three years. under the auspices of Harvard Uni- versity and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, probably has been scientific ex- amination and analysis of the ffty royal tombs in the cemeteries at Meroe and the resulting determination of the chronological basis for the history of Ethiopla during the Meroetic area, the report indicated. “The period is a long one, and to the layman the effort to,fix the order of fifty royal Yombs situated in apparent confusion on two sepatate hills may p pear almost hopeless, although the pro- cedure is really quite simple, Reisner. The identification of the tombs with the names of the kings and queens buried in them Hhas been com- pleted, except in the cases of twenty- three of the royal persons buried in the north cemetery. “The rest have been found by the inscriptions in the chapels or on the cofin benches or on the altars. However, the work of piecing together the fragments of altars is yet incomplete; a few more names may still be connected with their pyramids, and the task of the identification of the kings promisas to reach a fairly satisfactory con- clusion.” Observed Sati-Burial Custom. The custom of sati-burial, accord- ing to which the members of the king's household killed themselves or were killed when he died, and were buried in the same tomb, prevailed at Meroe from the second century, B.C., onward, says Dr. Reisner. “The great outstanding feature of the history of Ethiopla was that the | Ethioplan _cultural unit stood as an outpost of Egyptian civilization in middle Africa,” Prof. Reisner said. “Ethiopia had become thoroughly Egyptianized while it was under the sway of Egypt, and the Egyptian in- fluence, though gradually diminish- ing, remained dominant for hundreds of years. The Ethlopians, however, were not so entirely dependent on Beyptian civilization as this might seem to in- dicate, for they invented a script of their own, as few other nations have done, unique in the form of letters adapted only to the writing of their own peculiar language. The cursive was invented first for the practical purposes of daily life and caused an immediate decline in the knowledge of Egyptian, and when the knowledge of Bgyptian hieroglyphics was lost they invented a hieroglyphic script of their own. These mventions are warnings that the genius of the peo- ple of Meroe is not to be under esti- mated. Little Art Uncovered. dThe excavations also uncovered a few objects of Greek art, a consider- able quantity of objects of Hellen- istic-Roman art, nearly ail ‘of them manifesty imported, and some forms of native pottery derived from Hel- lenistic -forms, showing that —there was a Greek influence on Ethiopian ‘As always, throughout Ethiopia,” Dr. Relsner said, “the burial cham- bers of every tomb which he exca- vated had been plundered, and usually very completely plundered. The gold objects actually found by the expedi- tion were therefore oaly those over- looked or dropped by the thieves. “There had been elaborate gilded mummy cases, sometimes with inlaid stones, carved wooden beds and toilet boxes with decorated ivory in-- lays, rings, earrings, necklaces, brace- lets, girdles and crowns of. gold on the mummies; vessels of alabaster, glass, bronze, silver and pottery in the burial chambers; mirrors, sceptres, wands, bows, arrows, quivers, and even flutes, laid with the mumm Evidences were found of all these. The most important objects of local manufacture foupd by said Dr. | | tion were the products’ 6¢ the gola- | smiths, Dr. Relsncr said. These in- | ! cluded’ o serles of twenty gold seal | rings dating from about 100 B. €. to about 100 A.

PRESIDENT LACKS POWER ‘TO REDUCE TARIFF ON SUGAR| (Continued from First Page.) a pound would have been sufficient to absorb the added tar!ff burden. Yet by '‘March 27 of this year the price has gone up to 7.28 cents a pound, Secretary of Commerce Hoover has received a letter from A. E. Carlton, representing extensive beet sugar in- |terests in the west, charging that |the New York refiners and financiers now own properties representing more than 70 per cent of the Cuban output. This is one of the phases of the sugar situation which the govern- ment is investigating. “Just now,” says Mr. Carlton, “these linterests are operating under the |Buise of the United States Sugar As- |soctation. A few years ago they operated under the name of the ‘Wholesale Grocers’' Association and |admitted in congressional investiga- tion that not a wholesale grocer in R T e e |organization.
