Lausanne conference.
It is impossible no, te feel that energy
directed in a crusade te keep Arbuckle
in oblivion would be wasted. If the
movies and Mr. Hays can stand Fatty'
lflturn the public -.heuiu, a the -aying

that the movies can stand tins -en. of

THE PAST UNLOCKED
rpHE
most extravagant, e: .- miuht
almost say the most piepostereus.
remance pales before the epochal dis
coveries in Egypt, te-creating for mod
ern comprehension a civilization of .'leOO
years age. After thitty yeais of the
Thrlst assiduous labor, Heward Carter,
representing Lord Carnarvon, wealthy
patron of archeology, has penetrated te
thS outer chambei of King Tutan
khamen, who reigned in the Nile Valley
in the fourteenth century B. C.
Pisclesure of the tombs of pharaohs
in Jn itself no novelty. The final resting
phjees of nearly all the important mon
arch s of ancient Egypt have been dis
covered. But, save for what seems te
hayc been a hurried and wither harmless
visitation of plundering prowlers in some
remote age, the treasure of Tutan
lihttmcn appears te have escaped these
depredations which have proved .e
embarrassing te aicheolegists.
Here for once are the butial chambers
nrly intact as en the day en which
they were sealed. The actual tomb
chamber itself, where the ntumitied ruler
Ubb, will remain tantalizitigly closed
until Lord Carnarvon returns te Egypt,
but the esthetic, cultural, ritualistic and
historic riches already disclosed are
enough te fire the imagination even of
persons with the met ininerfect con
ceptions of arehcoleglcal thrills.
iCartcr, amid all the astounding opu epu opu
Ipjice of the ante-chamber, has been com
pared te Balboa en his first glimpse of
the majestic Pueidc. But the conquista cenquista
diir was tnly dimiy awnru of what he
had feuijd, Carter and his fellow ex
plorers & the long-lest tomb were
, -aeutely cinscleua of the revelation. A
iclepnl .ptipe. and jewel-studded
crowned statute were viewed sliamin: in
esthetic splendor, it is reported, the high
est achievements of Phidias or Praxit
eles; gorgeous tapers and candle?,
diaphanous "beaded robes of the pharaoh's
conert, geld sandals, royal couches and
domestic articles levitalizing a civiliza
tion of asteundinu magnificence.
The funerary treasures sealed with
Tutankhamen will compel te an unprcr
cuenU'd decree the tewritinif of much
of our histeiy of the manners, customs,
achievements of the ancient v urld.
Archeology, tnat patient science, enjoys
tedaj an unmatched triumph.
The present, cas Anatel" France, i !

wealtn of Nations. The rumor bears tne
stamp of plausibility in tnat the chancre
j in some quarters would net be ielent.
ie far as the self-governing .States of
Ireland, Canada, .Seuth Africa, New
Zealand and Australia aie concerned,
the mtegritv of their sovereignty, not
withstanding cettain conventional ties
with England, is incontestable.
But although question- of numen
clatuie are, strictly speaking, technical,
it is possible for alterations in titles te
exercise profound effects. A perceptive
nnd happy sense of taste was operative
when the term Irish Free State was
devised. A simiiaily favorable construc
tion may be pmced upon the choice of
Commonwealth instead of empire for a
great community at nations
It must be remembered, however, that
many et tne British dependencies,
ether tropical possessions, de net new
occupy the fortunate status of the
dominions and their equivalents. An
immense problem in organization is
ahead of British statesmen in adapting
ccrtnin territories te the new order.
Hut forces that have changed the com
plexion of the empire already are net

indeed, extravagant te suggest that
Jamaica, Trinidad and Ceylon will some
day be found sending their plenipo
tentiaries 'e Washington and ether
world capitals.

A NATIONAL THEATRE I
A':'
UGUSTUS THOMA.s' conception of
a national theatre, a- revealed te a
Philadelphia Forum .tjdience, bears j
1 scant resemblance te the gilded menu-
' merits (,f princes or ev.-n of Metropolitan
opera Heuse milliena.ie.-. Ner is the (
, toy or bijou playheu e lauded by the
author of "The Witchir l Heur" as the
salvation of the Amnican stage.
Mr. Themas has ..M-rceme the blue- i
punt obsession wh.ch t as been the King
i harle' head of se ruay putative feet-
ligh reformers. Tn. Cetireid idea, ex-
! i.re-ssed in the Nev '1 heatrc, new the
Century, was e-i .eighted with archi
' tects, builders, intir.er decorator-. But
' the house for all it-, grandeurs was
i unfurnished, s!r.(e marbles and tapes
' tries had te a ceitain extent subordinated
the drama.
1 Mr. Themas' ..ttentien is concentrated
upon the play. 1 w this rea.-en his recipe
; for revitalising the stage i the pro
duction throughout the country, imul
. taneeusly with :iir presentation in New
Yeik, of the most ditu 'tive accom
plishments of the modem treatie, by the
I iest actets obtainable. A- a beginning
he recemni'iids the circulation et two
play, one a contemperai product nnd
tin- ether a Shakespearian uvival. The
irviuieus, mediocre "-e.ond-cempnny"
procedure is te be discard, d.
The plan is by no means as imprac
tical as it might appear te some classes
of playgoers, since shortage of dramatic
ability i net a problem of the stage.
! abi
I The trick is te fit an abundance of geed
I acieis te worthy mateiial. If Mr.
Themas hns his way the -e-culleu prov
inces will reflect the r,iet authentic
and invigorating ideal. of the drama.
A national theatre in the soundest and
most pervasive sense i thus envisaged.
Naturally, it cannot be built ever night,
but when the structure is finally raised
it should endure.

things which the (.nmtry must take Iinmc

davs until the severity of the case is ascer

The (heat Mortality Diseases

IehIs and cancer are the three gient mortality
diseases of the country, nnd heart disease is
showing a steady increase, ('niieer remains
about stationary and tuber. ulesl-, lias shown

"Anether ireunistnnce showing the piev
lleme of heart disease is that during the
draft period of the war there were "Uil.nOII
voting Americans rejected hy the military
authorities either for .tetlve or incipient
heart disease.
"In the schools of Philadelphia it is im
possible te make as thorough examination of
the children as should be made because the
1-iw forbids the opening of the clothing of
the child below the first button, and it is
impossible te use the stethoscope through the
clothing. AH that can be done, therefore,
is te fellow up cases of acute iheuuiiilic
fever St. Vitus dance, etc., in tin- clinics
te see that these de net develop into cases
of henrt (Unease, or if they de se develop, te
keep it in a -tage where it will net de

Nt Necessarily Fatal
"Onie a person has heart dleae ,t is
very seldom that a cure can be crTected, but
if the life of the sufferer is properly regu
lated he can live a useiul life and probably
die from some ether cause in the end.
This of course, relates te Incipient uises;
net much can he done with advanced cases.
"It is necessary, first of all, te educate
the public te the danger of heart disease
and te the danger of neglecting ciincs of ton ten
Hlllltis and ether diseases which lend directly
te heart disease. When the public ami the
parents understand that such cases of Illness
should he given Immediate anil careful nt nt
tentlen much will have been done te ciire for
the heart disease situation throughout the
country.
We have in Philadelphia thirteen heart
cllnlcH and ten diagnostic clinics under the
direction of the Department of Public
Health. The diagnostic eltnlcs locate the
-fiOie and send the patient te the heart
cll.tica for special examinations.
