The archaeologists live In un .,retentions stone and mortar houses with nothing but the barest rough en furniture and the most primitive household equipment. The house - oc upied by the American experts wag built" through the generosity Of the late J. Pierpont Morgan, wno was moved to pity by their privations end !'XPn?ure. The natives of the valley ar* Pathet ically poor and untutored. Food is scarre and expensive. Water, where it exists at all, has to b* brought from afar in hand-buckets. The nights are told, and fuel is difflcult to obtain. Many of the other needs of life also are iacking. The heat of the valley is distressingly severe during the day, and the entire area is plagued with flies-and pernicious insects. The archaeologists hav* few sooial contacts. They live like recluses. The whole west bank of the Nile in the neighborhood of ancient Thebes is a desolate, forbidding waste of mud, sand and rock. No flower Or geveta blp or blade of grass has reared its head above this barren terrain for 60 centuries. Only the most primitive roads exist. Houses are few and far between. In selecting'this place for tl^elr eternal entombment, the ancients choose with an eye to its solemnity, seclusion and silenoe. The only human beings that move among ths sequea-1 tered ruins of what was once the most flourishing city In the world .are lean and spec! , o-like Arabs dressed in white robes. The American visitor to the caver, nous valley which holds the imperial dead of by-gone ages is over-awed by the majesty and dignity of the great, precipitous sandstone cliffs that stand sentinel on either side of the necropo lis He is reminded of the heights '■f the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, nr of Tellowstone Fans when the noon day sun transforms them into a golden valley. By day nothing disturbes the deep repose of the place except the sound of the pick-axes and shovels of the crowds of native boys and men em ployed in combing the earth for its still hidden archaeological treasures. By night the stillness, of th* valley of death is broken only by the hooting of owls and the cries of jackals and wildcats, jn the midst of the silence and solitude one feels himself stand ing upon the brink of two worlds, with eyes gazing into a vista of the un known. . . - Sleeping in the heart tit these moun tains are Tutankhamun and his royal kinsfolk.

Lw «' ■ -- Aged German Magnate | Never Shuns His Work HAMBORN, Germany, March 24.— Unemployment may rule In the Ruhr, miners be idle. and railroad men on strike, bricklayers working halt time and jewelers not at all, hut there is one man who works on forever. His name is August Thjsssen, aged 81, founder of the steel dynasty bear ing^ his name. Promptly at the stroke of eight the venerable old man is at his desk. Eleven at night very often finds him still at work. This steel man is indeed a man of steel. Personally, twice a day, he visits one or the other of (its large plants, either at Hambern, Mulheim, Duisburg, Bins taken or Fussaldorf. Tall and gaunt, walking with' a brisk, springy step for one so advanced in years, stopping- here and there to exchange a word with some of the veteran employes In his service, his progress through the works seems to assume the sacredness of a | rite. j Frugal and modest, this millionaire j spends less for his personal upkeep I than many of his yard bosses or sec tion foremen. The correspondent met him the other day at the conclusion of his tour around the Hamborn works. "I don’t know what I can tell you about the situation,” he said in re. •pones to a query, “ask this man there, he is much more competent than I am,” he said, pointing to one of his mana gers. '‘Hay* you sver met Clemenceau?” the correspondent asked apropos of nothing except the extraordinary simi larity of expression of the upper part of the fact of both men. Thyssen is much taller than the “Tiger.w “No, but 'i should very much like to." Going to a desk, the old man took from a drawer what appeared te be a document and handed it to the cor respondent: iJCl UIKJ e A V C ; UU a. nine Ot/UVClAi*, I he said. It wap a signed photograph of him self. "Workers who have been in the ser vice for 15 years receive this photo graph,” said the employe who es corted the correspondent te the door. "You have been here only 25 minutes. It is now going 22 years slnae I began to work here. I will receive ope of these photographs in 1928.” ‘Why did Herr Thyss^n frown when I mentioned the kaiser?” the corre spondent asked of the employe. "Herr Thyssep has much cause to frown,” replied the clerk, ‘t‘he kaiser treated him shabbily. He would ac cept drawings, plans, new inventions for guns, light and heavy aratillery, drawn up and perfected by the chief, and then the war ^office would have the guns made in the Krupp works. It was quite wrong.” *18-000,000 COST OF A IHOPgRK BATTLESHIP I LONDON, March 24.—The cost of building a flrst-elaas battleship in 1914 was approximately 600,000 pounds sterling, or about 52,500,000, but the post of a similar ship today is about 8,500,000 pounds, Or about 216,500,000, according to Coinmander Eyres.Mon sell, parliamentary secretary to the ad miralty. Explaining this inorease the expert says: —It must be borne in mind, howeve'f, that a modern capital ship> embodies features found neoessary in the light o4f war experience whioh in volve a considerably greater tonnage, offensive and defensive armament, and consequently cost.” ^ PHILIPPINE YOUTHS. DISPOSED TO GO EARLY TO THE ALTAR MANILA, P. 1., March 24.—The mar mlage laws of the Philippine islands face revision. A bill now before the house provides, among other things, that males may not marry before they are 14 and females before they are 12 years of age. Males under 20 and females under IS must Jmve the con sent of their parents. The bill also would liberalize the divorce laws of the Philippines. De sertion by either party for a period of not less than six years would be a cause for divorce. Women Can’t be Equals Of Men Outside Home, Woman Preacher’s View CLEVELAND, March 24.—Women never will attain equality with men in politics, business or other interest outside the home. Vet tb* men of America treat their countrywomen more like equals than ever they have been tJ eated before—more like equals than they are treated by the men of any otner land. These Ere the conclusions of Misr Agne3 Maude Royden, noted London preacher, n visitor in the United States. She reaches them in the light of long experience and active participation in women’s affairs in her won country, "Your men’s attitude toward wo men,” she says, "is most civilized in the world. Wome nare treated here more as human brings, more like equals, than anywhere else. j It’s Only Soolal "Rut that is socially. “Outside of social relationship, wo men can not be men’s equals. “Take business, politics, religion, art. The women who equal man In these fields always must be in a min ority because children have the first claim on women. Their vital forces always will go, as now, into the mak ing, not of art. and politics, but of men and women.” This does not mean, Mias Royden adds, that women should refrain from any part in public affairs. In fact, she herself has been active tn the English movement for wider recogni tion of representatives of her sex. As for the matter of a double stand ard for the sexes, she says: "The church stand* for a double standard in teaching that, women should be chaste and men brave: wo, men submissive and men independent. “How, then, can religious ■ leaders i criticize the double standard outside the church? Thev can not, ant their criticism I* without authority so long as they themselves give a continual ob ject lesson in their ebllef In women's supposed inferiority,” In urging more freedom in the re* lationsKip between husband and wife. Miss Royden conoluded: “Marriage is permanent and should remain so, but the old way In which i amrrled people used to be shut up in j Just one another was an awful wis take. “A woman, like her husband should have friends—men as well as women. Only one husband, but more friends! And she should have interests out side the home. It would make hus band and wife appreciate each other more and help to keep them together.” DOCTORS WILL TOUR ITALY ROMHJ, March 24.—Doctors of medi cine of all nation* to the number of 200 have been invited to join an ex cursion this summer to the principal thermal resorts of Italy. The journey will last a fortnight, begin in northern Piedmont, and end at Naples. Inter preters will accompany the medical man, who will have a special train at their disposal and be housed in the' best hotels.

It is in Cache township, Woodruff County, and is said to have a population ef about 00. Cotton and almost any southern farm crop can be, and is, grown around Wiville. The residents are prosperous and contented. Most of the Wiville families own their Own homes and run their farms, producing their; own meat, fruits and vegetables. j Health of thp community has been very good, and au I * sited to spoke of enjoying life in Wiville amid its pleasant, fulet, farm-town simplicity. As in other towns recently visited, Cardul and Black-Draught have been used in almost every home.
