LEAGUE OF NATIONS TAKES TO

EUROPE'S most notorious blunderer-the League of

Nations-has made still another blunder.

For two years the Secretariat of the League has been collect-

Gold Leaf Shroud

Cairo, June 28.

Professor Selim Hassan, of Cairo, this afternoon, penetrated a tomb found at Giza and opened the sarcophagus of Ka Niht, director of granaries and chief scribe and priest to Pharaoh Sahure (B.C. 3200). He found the body enveloped in gold leaf and wearing a thin gold crown and a bead necklace. A gold- encased walking stick was beside the body, Reuter.

about the traille in drugs.

The League spent the time of many officials, and large sume

of money.

A report was prepared by the Secretariat for, the considera-

tion of the League's Advisory Committee on Drugs,

The report was prepared as a document, printed and cir. culated to the representatives of various countries.

"Just Hypothetical”

Suddenly, before the representative of the British Govern- ment could properly consider the report, it was taken from him and was withdrawn from circulation.

An official of the Home Office told just what it was all about. He suid:

"Apparently someone blundered by making the report public before the Advisory Committee had been given the report.

"In an annexe, a hypothetical conclusion as to the number of drug allets in this and other countries had been prepared, assuming that the number of drug takers was in the same ratio per thousand population in this country as in Egypt.

"This gave Great Britain a possible number of drug addicts running into tens of thousands, while artoally, of course, the number is only 700.

"The League's figures tre absurd. Objections-Then Withdrawn

"Although this number was entirely hypothetical, Great Britain's representative and the representatives of other coun- tries felt that an entirely misleading impression of the number of drug addicts in their respective countries might go out to the world as a result.

"Following objections from a number of representatives, it was decided to withdraw the report.

"It is possible that the Advisory Committee of the League, which is still deliberating, may make a further reference to the withdrawal at a future meeting of the Committee."

Yankee Meat Inspector Who Became Famous

:.

Washington, July 1- WPA workers are on Uncle Sam's trall and they believe they have removed all doubt as to the identity of the venera- ble gentleman of the high hat and striped trousers.

A score of research workers throughout the nation, directed by the Federal Writers' Project headquarters here, traced the legend from coast to coast and pinned "Uncle Sam" upon Sumael Wilson, a Yankee most inspector during the War of 1812.

Findings of the research workers confirm the opinion of the Daughters of the American Revolution,, who recently erected a statuo to Wilson commeniorating Him as "Uncle Sam." the name given him by his contemporaries.

Almost a century ago, according to facts gleaned in the survey, ah early writer originated the nickname as a “joke,” adding: "Who knows but a hundred years from now, some 'learned commentator' may puzzle his brain to furnish some ingenious explanation of the origin of the national appella- tion....

A picture of the original "Uncle Sam" (Samuel Wilson) tentatively was traced by the WPA workers to California and from there to Kansas City, where It is believed to be in thờ possession of the great-grandson of Wilson. It probably will be published this fall, embodied in the American Guide, as the story of Uncle Sam and Ils Origin."

Experts have not duolded whether the picture should be an early tin-type or a portrait by a contemporary artist. They are. certain, however, that the original Uncle Sam" will not be wearing the high, hat, long-talled coat and striped trousers

In announcing the maneuvres, the navy did not mention the location Hor give the slightest indication as to the nature of the problem. The navy's au- nouncement said:

"Under such circumstances not only the direct military equipments and establishments in naval" ports), military arsenals, arms, etc., but also All the resources, power re- sources, factories and other peace- time establishments which are to be included among the militany eccrets' under the forthcoming law.

The ban heretofore placed on photographing the prohibited areas would not be confined to the fortified tones but would be extended to hy- dro-electric power stations, water reservoir equipment, factories and aleo larger buildings in elties which would become the objects of air raids in war.

"When the bill is enacted into law, cameramen will be required to exer cise caution in photographing even beautiful scenery."

In the case of Mr. Holm, the petition was opposed by G. H. Kikabhoy, n money-lender, who said he had not received any interest from the ap- plicant. He admitted, however, that he had been paid back more than half of the $100 lent.

The Oficial Receiver (Mr. J. B. Prentls) remarked that the petitioner had paid back more than 50 per cent. of the debts.

Granting the application, IIIs Lord- ship said that even money-lenders in these hard times had to take the rough with the smooth.

Mr. Best was granted his discharge on condition that he consented to judgment,
