Exploding the "King Tut Curse The recent death of Arthur Weigall, noted writing Egyptologist, has given fresh impetus to the legend of the "curse" of old King1 Tutankhamen. The superstitious pointed point-ed out that there were now few living of the party of archaeologists who broke into the tomb of the pharaoh after it was opened in 1923. But now arises Dr. Maynard Owen Williams, who tells the National Geographic society that at least 100,000 persons per-sons instead of just a few,, went into the burial chamber of King Tut. Among those in the party at the official opening of the tomb was the Queen of the Belgians, and prior to that time several score of workers, supervisors and Egyptian officials had been in and out of the tomb. This ought to dispose of the notion that Weigall's death, like that of Lord Carnarvon and others preceding Weigall's, was in any way connected with any ancient "curse." The Ring Tightens Slowly but surely, the law seems to be catching up with the gunmen. The last year's most impressive development, in this field, was the rounding up and imprisonment of the Urschel kidnaping gang. Recently certain other notorious outlaws have come to the end of their rope. Wilbur Underbill, Oklahoma Okla-homa bad man, dies of wounds inflicted by officers of the law. An associate, Elmer Inman, is wounded and captured. Chicago's Jack Klutas goes down before police bullets. And so it goes. Bit by bit, the authorities are succeeding succeed-ing in their fight to make the nation an unhealthy place for the strong-arm tribe. The fight is by no means oveiv of course. Plenty of desperate criminals still are at large. But it is becoming evident that officials all over the country at last are carrying-on their fight with determination determina-tion and a good deal of efficiency.

Finland, in case you have forgotten, is the one European Euro-pean nation which has been paying its debt to this country punctually and fully. Finland is a small nation and a poor one but while such great ixrvvers as France and England have found their debt payments too irksome to meet, Finland Fin-land has paid 100 cents on the dollar whenever a note fell due. -Now the state department is negotiating with the Finnish Fin-nish government for a substantial reduction in the debt.

Vidal, director of aeronautics, department of commerce, com-merce, has inadvertently opened up a new field for commercial air-piane air-piane manufacturers. In his recent queries toihose holding licenses askinefhow many people would buy plan e3 if they could be placed on theTfiarket to sell for as little as $700, Mr. Vidal apparently was seeking to discover a potential market for small planes. Instead, he was swamped with replies, indicating indi-cating that eight in 10 queried would buy a small plane of that nature if it were produced. Hi.s replies will be turned over to civil aeronautics industry, and manufacturers manu-facturers will be permitted to do as much as they cure to regarding this information. British scientists have been experimenting ex-perimenting with a new drug that will greatly aid in reducing, altho the person taking the treatment eats hearty meals during the course of taking the cure." Prof. K. C. Dodds of the Court-auld Court-auld institute and Dr. J. D. Robertson, Robert-son, of Middlesex hospital, are making the investigations and experiments. ex-periments. Chemically, the drug is known as dmitro-ortho-cresol and is said to be five times as strong as din-itrophenol, din-itrophenol, a drug being tried out clinically in this country. Both drugs can be taken only upon the advice of a physician. We hear that 125 carloads of whisky passed through Chicago in four days. Which proves that Al Caponc still is in Atlanta.

BRITISH DISMAYED British diplomats were dismayed, dis-mayed, almost horrified at the in genuity Roosevelt showed in put ting across his devaluation of the dollar. With one stroke he re moved British hopes of stabilizing the pound at a low figure as against the dollar. . . Roose velt did this by creating a stabil ization fund of $2,000,000,000 just a trifle larger than the Brit ish fund of $1,800,000,000. With so large an amount at his dispos al, Roosevelt can buy and sell dol lars, in such a way that it should be almost impossible for the Brit- isn to nammer tne aonar up or down. . . .

Eccles, new assistant secretary of the treasury, looks like a good appointment. He is a big banker from Utah, but one who fits in with the , New Deal psychology that bankers shou?d not run the show and that sooner or later the government may have to take over the entire banking system. Eccles is a Mormon, a hotel operator, coal miner, beet sugar executive, railroad director, bankei and former lumberman. Do You Know? These Curious Things The original "Ku Klux Klan" originated in Germany during the 14th century. It was during this period that the "Femgerichte" as these secret tribunals were called, came into power shortly after Emperor Henry, the Lion, was deposed de-posed and anarchy prevailed everywhere. These men, whose object was to preserve peace and protect the innocent and helpless, at one time numbered 100,000, and their power was limitless. The secrecy of their operations and the power they manfested in carrying out their sentences struck terror thru-out thru-out Germany. Their courts were either open or secret, the former being held by day, and the latter by night in the forest. Those tried at night were men aecused of murder, robbery, attacks upon women, theft, heresy and sorcery. Members of the "Femgerichte" were all armed, and wore black cowls which were likewise hooded, hood-ed, covering their faces. Both the accuser and the accused ac-cused were permitted to bring witnesses to the trial. They operated oper-ated . with secrecy that struck terror to the hearts of guilty persons, per-sons, for their summons always were affixed to the doors of the dwellings. Those who failed to heed the summons were hanged upon sight, while those who answered an-swered the summons were seldom condemned, but merely cautioned to mend their ways. This organization was broken up in 1461, when political power was claimed by the organization, princes and cities in Germany rebelling re-belling against secret trials.
