Why expose him after he’s been put #ay more than 3,000 years? It’s grave-robbery.” “Well,” said the little Man in specs, Arthur admits Tutankhasen—wherever his s today—has probably forgtten his earthly body as you might forget the worn-owf overcoat you threw away 20 years ago. So he doesn'tmind. “The thing to think aut now is—now—and the fu ture. Don't you agree?” bs “Sure, I agree!

Maybe we'll read how Moses killed one of Pharaoh’s slave-drivers and hid the body in the sand; of the revolt of the ‘children in captiv- ity,’ and their flight across the dry bed of the R a; and of how Pharaoh's army got ‘drown-ded,’ as the dar- keys say.” e «es “But what good will that dous—even if they do find it all out?” asked the big chap. “Tt will put more distance between us and the apes,” the little man replied. “A dog ora monkey has intelligence. But they lack knowledge. That's one thing we've got on them. And, as the copy-book says, ‘Knowledge is power.’ “Then there’s the imagination. And inspiration.

Yet the day Co- Tumbus discovered America, Tutankhamen had already been in his grave for more than 2,000 years. When sav- @ges were roaming England and France, knocking each other in the head with rocks, Tutankhamen had already led over a great civilization a thousand years before, and ad died, and. been buried with millions of dollars’ worth ff jewels and gold and works of art, “We think we’re the greatest ever. We have just fought e terrible war and are about to plunge into another. sLet’s pause a second, and consider ‘old Tut,’ as you call him. He thought he was great. And he was, too. But look at him now. And the civilization he represented. All gone. Wiped out. How long will we last—eh?” “Does make you think, doesn’ aid the big man. tupt A FORCED SHORTAGE There is no logical reason why there shuld be a shortage of coal any where in the United States at any time. It is a fact that coal is to be found in all of the states except 13, and mines are being operated profit ably in 29 of the states, and there is enough coal here to meet the needs of our own people for at least 1,000 yeats and maybe much longer.— Representative McSwain (D.), They claim it was smoke which overcame a fireman when 735 Bryn Mawr girls marched out in night clothes, One reason Washington never told a ne is a traffic cop never asked George how fast he was going. Hearing Lincoln’s Master piec When Abraham Lincoln finished delivering his burg address, no one applauded. The 20,000 in hi aud ence merely exclaimed: “Oh!”—in surprise at the brevity 1 of his speech. Accustomed to political orations, they hi settled themselves for an uncomfortably long-winded talk. Such is the recollection of Mrs. Rebecca C. D. Long of Somerville, Mas: was raised in Gettysburg, and heard Lincoln’s famous add when she was 12. None in Lincoln’s audience realized at the time that he yas hearing an immortal piece of oratory. d probably e finest composition ever penned in the English lan- a lage, according to many competent critics It takes the perspective of time to dis great from the mediocre or near-great. Most of the really great people and events of our genera- tion are not getting much attention. Later generations will appreciate them at their full worth. The Wright brothers’ first flight in an airplane will be remembered as long as the world war, possibly longer. Their invention, which enables man to move in the air instead of confined to the earth’s surface, is a gigantic step forward in evolution, the same as the first fish that grew fins into flippers or crude legs so it could crawl on land, or fins into wings so it became a bird, Let’s continue Mrs. Long’s story—and from philosophy turn to something ridiculously ironical, yet too pathetic to laugh at. Mrs. Long recalls: “In the front of the great stand were 20,000 men, women and children. Edward F erett, rated as the greatest orator of his day, delivered an address of two hours’ length.” After this long introductory tirade, Abraham Lincoln Tose slowly to his feet—and “said his say” in 266 words, the immortal Gettysburg address. Isn’t that human nature for you, that long introduction by the chairman! And, no doubt, when he got home he confided to his family that he made the better speech of the two.
