They were soldiers of King Menthuhotep and the unusual honor paid them of burial in 2 royal tomb lead to the conclusion they fell in an important engagement. Other wounds on the bodies, the article says, show that the wounded were dispatched with elubs by the victors after their comrades had re- treated.

He was inspired by refusal of merchants to cut prices in accordance with the fndex of living costs on the pretense that prices must stay up during holiday business rushes. The 20,000 sworn members of his league now plan to abolish tips by the same system. Instead of tipping cierges and taxi-cab drivers, mem- bers will hand them cards upon which are printed their names as members of the Anti-Gift and Tip league. Where for business or family reasons, it would be imprudent to discontinue entirely the giving of gifts, league members are authorlzed to exchange small gifts of symbolic. ther than monetary value, such as nall bunch of violets, a bottle of wine or a sack of gumdrops.
