Statute of Tut’s
Aid in Museum
New York. —Tutankhamen’s great
army chief, Harmhab, sculptured in
Immortal gray granite, has just been
placed in the Egyptian department of
the Metropolitan museum, where it is
regarded by Director Edward Robinson
and his associates as one of the most
noteworthy accessions of recent years.
Furthermore, it cemes to the museum
enriched by the romance of the party
now working in the “Valley of the
Kings,” for on the very day that mod
ern eyes pierced the gloom in which
Tutankhamen lay, this statue of the
man who played an Important part in
the great king’s life came out of its
hiding to take a place once more in the
public view.
Director Robinson, commenting on
the esthetic and archeological value of
thp statue before representatives of
thfe press, laid special stress on the
Buddah-like pose of the figure and the
classical modeling of the face planes.
He attributed this to the tradition of
art minds working through the ages
rather than chance influences of the
moment
In Good Preservation.
Quite as noteworthy is the state of
preservation in which the statue
comes to the museum, for with the ex
ception of the loss of the right hand
the material and condition Is as perfect
as If it had just come from the work
shop of the sculptor. The other pieces
of stone that have come from the time
of the eighteenth dynasty show most
plainly the buffeting of 3,300 years, but
the spirit of new sculpture is strong in
this Image of Harmhab.
The figure is represented seated with
legs crossed and a scroll of parchment
spread across its lap. The left hand
grasps one end of the scroll, while the
right, missing, very evidently held the
quill pen, as a shallow ink container,
similar to those In the Egyptian depart
ment, rests upon his left knee.
In this pose of a scribe It Is quite
fitting that he should be composing a
letter to Toth, the letter writer of the
gods and the divine protector, whose
influence obtained promotion for all
RUSCO BELTING
Solid Woven -Waterproof
for greater power transmission
RUSCO transmits greater pulling power
„ from the pulley to the job because it is
solidly woven. Ply belting, whether stitched
or “stuck” together, pulls unevenly and
comes apart at the ply.
You want belting that has a holding-grip
and a mighty-pull. That’s Rusco! •
You want the belting that returns the
greatest service for dollars invested. That’s
Rusco!
Rusco has no joints, exposed stitches or
plies; besides it is durable, water-proof—
and guaranteed by a concern that has had
93 years of “knowing how”.

who followed a clerical career on
earth. From his involved phrases on
the scroll, which have been Interpreted,
It is gathered that Toth guides him
who is In error and recalls every for
gotten thing. The writer further in
vokes the good graces of Toth In a
prayer that Is engraved around th«
base of the statue.
Claimed a God as Father.
Pendant to this prayer there is a
second, chiefly interesting because by
invoking Ptah, god of Memphis, it indi
cates the finding place of the statue.
Rumor has it that it was under th«
palms of Mitrahineh, which cover th«
ruins of the great temple of Ptah In
the very heart of ancient Memphis
Since other recent finds have located
similar statues near the city gateway!
it is thought most likely that this stood
immediately within the entrance ol
Memphis.
It might be judged from this that
Harmhab was a bit egotist and
such was the case, for he claimed as
his father the god Horus, saying that
at birth he was equipped with the
strength and complexion of a god.
When he was still an untaught child
the form of a god was apparent in him
to all beholders.
This superb sculpture, in many re
spects the finest in the department
comes to the museum through the gen
erosity of Mr. and Mrs. E. Everit Macy,
who. during the past year, gave the
museum the sum of $27,000. The size
of this sum the donors fixed by giving

Eskimos Have
Strange Laws
Detroit, Mich. —The strange and
democratic laws of the Far North
where the Eskimos are ruled by a
code of ethics all their own and where
the hunter cannot claim the game he
kills but must share it with his fel
lows,' were discussed recently by Roy
J. Snell, the Arctic explorer who is
spending two weeks here, addressing
Detroit school children.
“The Eskimo had many strange
laws before the white man came,” Mr.
Snell said. “They were communists.
If you killed a bearded seal, walrus or
polar bear, the meat did not all belong
to you. You were obliged, as soon as
the killing was accomplished, to stand
up and wave your hands while you
shouted as 'oud as you could.
Kill Man With Whale Gun.
“AH those who answered your call
were entitled to a supply of the meat
and it very often happened that the
successful hunter got less than some
of the others. If you neglected to do
this and hid the meat away you were
likely to be overtaken with some ca
lamity. You might suddenly become
blind, it was thought, or your children
might die.
“The Eskimos killed the first white
man who had my job; shot him with
a whale gun. Three young men did
it. One man set the gun in place, an
other marked a spot on the door, then
knocked, and the third pulled the trig
ger. • Since the whale gun is as large
as a small cannon, my predecessor
was instantly killed.
Relative Must Kill.
“The Eskimos themselves captured
two of the young men and executed
them. When the United States reve
nue cutter arrived she sent a shell or
two over on the beach to let the Es
kimos know what could be done, then
told them to go and get the other
young man.
“When he was found, it was learned,
he too was condemned to die. And
just here comes one of the Eskimo’s
strange customs. If a man must die
he must be killed by one of his near
est relatives. A young man by the
-name of Teragloona was appointed
executioner. Teragloona was a cousin
of the condemned man and one of his
best friends.
“He asked his cousin whether he
would prefer to be shot or stabbed.
The cousin said shot, so aiming at his
temple, Teragloona fired. Talk about
an iron nerve; surely Teragloona had
it. I afterward came to know him
very well, he was one of the finest
Eskimos In my village.”
Carries Secret of Dye
Formula to Grave
London. —A secret formula for mak
ing dye by a method which is said to
have required but a fraction of the
usual cost has been carried to the
grave by a London pauper. The pau
per, Robert Culver, learned the secret
from a German relative many years
ago and brought it to England, where
he organized a company for manufac
turing dyes.
The company, however, failed
through the dishonesty of some of the
officials and Culver was reduced to
poverty. He continued to live in the
hopes that better fortune would one
day come his way and that he would
be able again to manufacture the dye.
He was ill last winter and taken to a
poorhouse, where he died recently
without telling anyone of the secret
process.
At the time of the war his German
relatives died or were killed and this
left him in sole possession of the
formula.
Door Shut on Woman’s
Foot Causes Her Death
Rome, Ga. —Mrs. Lulu Crisler, twen
ty-four, of Cedar Bluff, Ala., died at a
local hospital as the result of an injury
sustained when her two-year-old daugh
ter shut a door on her foot.
There was nothing at the time of the
accident to attract especial attention
to the hurt Mrs. Crisler sustained,
which was not especially painful. The
place refused to heal, however, and be
came painful. She was brought here
for treatment and It was learned that
blood poisoning had set in. The Infec
tion had progressed too far at that time
for medical science to check it and Mrs.
Crisler died after more than a week of
Intense suffering.

THE TEUCE CITIZEN SATURDAY, FEBRUARY IML
New York Beauties
Swamp Artist
New York. —Ernest Llnnenkamp,
Viennese artist, whose quest in this
country is the 15 most beautiful wom
en, whose pictures he will paint for
the Amalthea Verlag of Zurich and
Vienna, said recently that beauty
hunting was a nerve-wrecking under
taking.
Herr Llnnenkamp has been over
whelmed with applications. To date
at least 1.500 women in this cityjfce
lleve they are among America’s 15
fairest. Society women, actresses, pro
fessional models, shop girls, home girls
and waitresses are among those who
have sought Herr Llnnenkamp out in
his New York hotel.
“I have been quite amused,” said
Herr Llnnenkamp. “Many of the love
ly creatures who have been In touch
with me thought I was here on some
advertising scheme or publicity stunt
My quest is perfectly serious. I have
a definite job to execute for this Swiss
house while I am In this country, and
I am not going to put brush to canvas
until I am reasonably convinced that
my selections are incomparable.
“Up to the moment I have made a
preliminary selection of five. Whether
these five will ‘last the course,’ I can
not say. I am seeing thirty to forty
beauties a day, and it Is a delicate
task to pick the winners. Compari
sons are odloui especially when ap
plied to the fairer sex.
“I do not want to announce any
names before the fifteen are complete.
I am constantly in touch with leading
theatrical men, but though I said I
thought I would find the majority of
my beauties in New York theatrical
circles, I am not quite so sanguine
now.
“One of the troubles, strange as it
may seem, with New York women is
that they dress too well. You see a
woman in a morning gown. She has
then a distinct type of beauty. She
changes for lunch. She is a different
woman. Her afternoon creation makes
her another woman. For evening wear
she has another robe, her hair is dif
ferently coiffured, and she is again
another charming but equally varied
personality. How can I choose fifteen
of the loveliest under these conditions
when nearly every woman has four
different appearances daily?”
Frau Llnnekamp, who Is considered
one of the most beautiful women in
central Europe, refuses to assist her
husband to make his selections. “He
brought all this trouble on himself,“
she said laughingly. “Let hizr fight
It ont himself.”
Device to Save
Helium Perfected
Acting in co-operation with the army
air service, the bureau of standards
at Washington has perfected appara
tus which will enable the saving of
enormous amounts of helium, the non
inflaramable but scare and costly gas
with which the Shenandoah is now In
flated. The apparatus In question is
a new condenser for retrieving mois
ture In the exhaust gases from the
engine, rendering it unnecessary to
▼alve helium.
To maintain the equilibrium of an
airship inflated with either helium or
hydrogen it is necessary at times to
“valve,” that is, to permit some of the
gas to escape to compensate for the
weight of the fuel consumed by the
engines, or to overcome the expansion
of the gas caused by the heat of the
ann’s rays.
This need for the “valving’’ of
helium used In rigid airships was one
of the reasons why it was so difficult
to get enough of the expensive, safe
gas to substitute for the hydrogen In
flation which caused many disasters in
the past.
How to compensate for the weight
of fuel lost and also to maintain the
lifting gas at an even temperature so
as to conserve helium presented a diffi
cult problem. As early as 1915 the
British government made some efforts
In the direction of the recovery of the
water vapor component formed as a
product of combustion from the ex
haust gases of the engine, but the re
sults achieved were not of sufficient
promise to warrant the continuation
of tests.
The information gained through
these experiments proved of value
when work began on the project for
the army air service. While the ex
periments we“ r e financed and sponsored
by the army nir service, It was the
scientists at the bureau of standards
who worked c4?t a solution of

They are standardized in order to bring about uni
form therapeutic efficiency to the patient whenever
required. This efficiency is most needed in the sick
room —not merely in the laboratory.
What is true of drugs must be true of foods. Purity
and efficiency in the can is only part of the problem
—purity and efficiency in the kitchen is the true test.
The law requires that baking power contain 12%
leavening gas at the time of sale to the consumer.
This measure insures uniform leavening efficiency
and protects the health of the public.
In order to comply with this fixed standard for bak
ing powder, manufacturers must produce and pack
their product so as to avoid the deterioration which
may result from absorption of atmospheric moisture.
Baking Powder manufacturers to avoid violation of
the law, also spend thousands of dollars yearly in
testing grocers’ stocks and removing "spent” goods
from his shelves, in spite of the fact that every pos
/ sible precaution had previously been taken against
deterioration.
With the exception of Texas, the pure food laws are not applied to bak
ing powder mixed with flour at the mill and sold in bags as “Self Rising
Flour ” There is no penalty on the manufacturers if this fails to “self
rise”—the consumer is the “goat”—he is the one that pays the penalty
through indigestion and ill health that comes from eating bakings that
are not properly raised. The standardization of baking powder is a pro
tection to both the consumer and the manufacturer—who welcomes
such laws and co-operates in every way possible. But!
Not so with the self rising flour manufacturer—he resents such laws
and fights such legislation. Why? Because a standardization of self ris
ing flour would require moisture-proof containers instead of cheap sacks
—because low grade “clears” could no longer be sold as “fancy patent
flour.” It would also mean he must maintain expel t chemical control
such as is now maintained by baking powder manufacturers.
Calumet Baking Powder contains only such ingredients as have been
officially approved by the U. S. Food Authorities.
