Bobbed hair, con cealed ears, short skirts and all the , other fads and foibles associated with modern women's styles are as old as the ; pyramids, according to the mute story told by the mummies of both Egypt jand Peru in the Field Museum I Wrapped in their pitched shrouds ' and encased in sarcophagi covered with , curious painting arid heiroglyphs in col 'ors still bright after three thousand i years and more, these mummies, all that was mortal of a human being of ages ago, today link the present to a j civilization long since dead. The daily center of thousands of cur ious eyes, for the mummies seem to hold a strange fascination for every visitor to the museum, they are silent spectators of the passing throngs, but the paintings which adorn their resting places tell more plainly than words of styles, customs and manners of a for gotten age. "Why, ma, they're dressed just like j J ine gins we see on juicmgan boule vard," exclaimed an aged visitor to his wife as he gazed at the strange figures adorning the sarcophagi. "It appears like they did not wear a bit more then than they do now," the woman answered as the pair mov ed away. IS FAR CRY BUT! It is a far cry from the Nile of Cleopatra's day to the Pacific coast of ,i-iu iii ouum -rvmci lua, uui mummies M i from both regions lying almost within ffl ! reach of each other now, but in life ignorant or. each other s existence, bear j graphic evidence of the greatest simi j larity and proficiency in many arts l at a time when the Norsmen were ravaging: all of Southern Knrone and J ' the old world had almost sunk into bar- rs uiirism. xjv. j. Aiaen iviason, Assistant 3 ; Curator of Mexican and South Ameri can Anthology at th? Museum, has pre pared an outline of the known history of tht- Peruvian Mummies. Both wove cloths in every weave known to the modern textile artist and made, in some cases, finer than are : duplicated today by the best mechanical I means and the most skilled artisans. j Their pottery is unsurpassed even today i in its type and their work in gold and copper challenges the modern craftsman- Unlike the Egyptians, the Peru- . vians us,ed no process of cmbilrmnc; but so dry were the sands of certain of their deserts that the dry bodies with their wrappings around them ha. e been preserved perfectly to this day with the . objects placed around them. I Near the town of Anc.m on the coast of Peru was found the greatest cemetery jot the people. A great desert waste, ; no evidence ot o : .iiuation is seen on S3 ;the surface. Even when the iirsc Span tm ish cenquerer passed this wav in 1533 every vestage of human occupation had entirely disappeared and the location of the town was quite fcr ,otten. It was not until about seventy years ago that . the first graves were discovered and for half a century they have yielded fortunes to treasure seekers who des- . poiled them to recover the golden orna ments left beside the bodies. I And now the mummies of both of .these peoples tell of strange similari 'ties in style, adornment, manners and industries to those of the present gen ; eration. It is a linking of the past to the present which holds a peculiar at ; traction, for the mummies, lying in I silent state, the most popular exhibit for the thousands of visitors who daily i crowd the museum. $1.98 One lot of child's brown kid Mary Jane pumps were $5.50 to close out at $1.98 If you want Bchool shoes see us We have some odd .lots cheap to start the season.

E Li L o FN ifjijaiTiril COUNTY SCHOOL MEN TO CONFER SATURDAY Since 1868 The Home of Good Shoes A meeting of the principals of all eight-month schools in the county will be held in the county superintendents office Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. These schools are scheduled to open their 1921-22 session September 5, it has been announced. At the Saturday meeting gene'vil plans for the coming year will be dis cussed, and important schools matters looked into. Superintendent Joseph Tvl. Matthews urges every principal of an eight-month school to attend this meet ing. Schools in session less than eight months will not begin their fall work until a month or two later than Sep tember 5. School buses have been overhauled and repaired during the last few weeks preparatory to being put in service. Six motor buses are used in the county to take the children to and from school. Excellent teachers, well prepared schedules, and prospects of an excep tionally satisfactory year are the fea tures .f the outlook for the coming school year, declared Superintendent Matthews. THREE MUSKETEERS KEPT THEIR PLEDGE Winnipeg, Sept. 2. Three modern musketeers yesterday kept a pact made on Vimy Ridge on Christmas Eve, of 1916. That night, in a little hut back of the front tiz.e, an artilleryman, a bom bardier and a signaller inscribed on the back of a photograph of one's father, the following pledge: "We solemnly promise on our word of honor to meet at Winnipeg on Sep tember 1, ft-Sl, if alive, to renew ac quaintances." A few days later the comrades-inarms F. L. Yeomans, of Bellville, On tario; J. J- Crilly, of Saskatoon, and G. H. Sealy, of British Columbia were separated. In the next few weeks, all were wounded and Yeomans spent 14 months in a German prison camp. Scarcely a letter did the comrades exchange since the war ended, but yesterday they all showed up in Winni peg to attend a baseball game and theater party and to dine at the ex pense of Crilly for Crilly had agreed to foot the bills if the war did not end within a year. LI DEFENDED HIS WORK IN DRAFTING TREATY Ajaccio, Corsica, Sept. 2. Georges Clernenceau, former Premier of France defended his work in the drafting of the Versailles treaty between the Allies and Germany' in the course of an ad dress at Sartena, near here, yesterday. M. Clemenceau, who will, during the next few weeks, make a tour of this island, received an address of welcome from the Mayor of Sartena upon his arrival there, and, in reply, said: "I stand by the Treaty of Versailes. It may not be perfect, but it will give genuine satisfaction to France if its con ditions are carried out. If revisions are necessary, they should be accepted only if compensations are made. "It may be that I gave way on the question of holding a plebiscite in Up per Silesia, but this was because I yielded to the urgings of the majority of the Allies and because the holding of a plebiscite is in accord with the . sacred principle of the doctrine that people have the right to dispose of themselves It is that principle which will enable us to safeguard the legitimate aspira tions of Poland, the friend of France."
