YEIRS OLD I MUSEUM
LONDON, July 23. </P)—Face paint
used by some Egyptian flapper 5,000
years ago is among exhibits at the
British Museum. It was discovered
at Ur of the Chaldees by the joint i
expedition of the British Museum
and the University of Pennsylvania.
The paint is contained in dainty lit
tle shells. There are also fragments
of toilet combs and silver articles
which figured on ^ome .beauty’s
dressing table in those days. A!
series of clay tablets, bearing school !
exercises, religious and grammatical ;
texts, multiplication tables, and di- j
rections for finding square and cube
roots are also on view. A diagram ;
illustrates the methods used for
measuring the area of an irregular
■plot of ground.
NORTHERN LIGHTS
*Dr. Will Chase contributed an art
icle entitled “A Sportsman’s Para
dise” to the last issue of the “North
ern Light,” a publication issued per
iodically by the U. S. Bureau of Edu
cation industrial school at Eklutna,
Alaska. This issue is the third one
to be printed by this school and is
of particular interest not only on ac
count of the excellent workmanship
displayed in printing and binding but
also on account of the most unusual
ly fine drawings and border designs
decorating the manila pages. The
art work is that of Dick Johns, 17
year old native boy, who shows mark
ed talent in this art, especially in his
pictures of birds in flight, flowers I
and animals.

SCIENTIST DESIGNS ABED
: SIMILAR TO CRADLE
LONDON, July 23. (JP)—The cradle
idea of rocking an infant to sleep is
to be applied to adults as well. Sir
Alfred Yarrow, Britist scientist, has
constructed a bed which rocks the
occupant to sleep. Sir Alfred con
ceived the idea of his new invention
Iwhile traveling. He found that
jwhen the train was in motion he was
| able to sleep better than when at
rest. He then constructed his crad
le-bed, which experiences 80 motions
per minute, ' varying from three
eights to three-quarters of an inch.
Nausea is .prevented by making the
movements irregular.
SMALL BOYS ENVY HER
NEW LONDON, Conn., July 23. (ff)
Anita May Andrews' idea of a per
fect summer vacation is to travel
with a circus as an acrobatic clown—
and she’s having the idea fulfilled
this summer. Mile. Anita is eight
years old. While Anita comes nat
urally by her talent, since her father
has been a circus down for years, it
is not intended that she shall spend
her life in the saw-dust ring. Her
father believes acrobatic “work” is
beneficial for a child.
