LUXOR, Egypt, -Dec. 24. Six more showcases containing rare and beautiful treasures from Tut-ankh-amen's tomb have just been added to . the collection of seven cases already on display in the Cairo Museum, giving visitors an admirable idea of the artistry of the ' eighteenth dynasty craftsmen. Probably the finest piece in the collection, of which almost every object is a masterpiece, Is the Pharaoh's little jewel box, of solid ivory yellowed with age, with knobs, hinges and feet of solid gold, inscribed on the front with the king's name and on the back with the lotus symbol of Upper Egypt. Interest In King's Buckles Also of interest are the king's buckles, of openwork sheet gold, with scenes inlaid intiny golden granules, representing a process said to be unknown today, while the gold
pendants, scarabs and bezels are exquisitely carved.
There are a number of signet rings and amulets, and four torch holders of bronze and gold. In one of these
holders the wick of twisted linen is still in position in the oil cup. One of the cases contains a collection of green or blue glaze drinking cups and vessels, the latter shaped like modern teapots.

VIRGINIA, Minn;," Dec. 24. Resi
dents of Virginia and persons living
south of town between Virginia and
Eveleth are wondering today just what was the significance of the
burning of a huge cross near the top
of Auburn hill Wednesday night. This Is the second demonstration of its nature within the past five months. The first occurred on a recent evening just preceding the annual school board election and was attributed to the Ku Klux Klan, which, rumors have it, is organized on the.Mesaba range. Call of Klan As the city has no elections in the immediate future, nor any political or. religious question of importance to be decided, the incident is taken by those who believe in the Klan rumors to have been a gathering of the organization, called for an open demonstration or initiation. The site of the gathering for hundreds of footprints surround the charred embers of the cross, lies about half way be
tween the old Eveleth-Virginia road
and the new paved highway connect
ing the two cities near the top of
Auburn hill. Burned at Midnight
The cross was burned about midnight Wednesday, but owing to the
fact that the location is hardly ac cessible by automobile and repre
sents a long walk through woods and snow-covered fields, few, If any, outsiders were drawn to the scene. The burning of two crosses on the nighTof July 22 not far from the scene of Wednesday night's occurrence was followed by rumors of Klan activities and was thought to have had a bearing on the school election that was to be held the next day.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22. Descend
ants of Jay Gould have begun the final phase of a legal fight which .ul
timately will determine what Is to
become of his $82,000,000 estate.
The litigation is the outgrowth of
the application in 1917 by the four executors of the esta'te for an ap-.
proval of their accounting. Its filing was the signal for Innumerable
legal controversies between counter-
claimants, interwoven with fraud and mismanagement charges against George J. Gould, who recently died
in France, and who was vhis father a principal executor and manager of
his business interests after his death.
Numerous affidavits had to be
taken; depositions were necessary
from Goulds in various parts of the world, and other legal complications
delayed ultimate steps toward set
tling the estate until thirty-one years
after Jay (Joujd's death. The hearing, begun before a referee, probably will continue for many weeks.

Practical application of economic
studies to current agricultural prob
lems, was emphasized by Dr. H. C
Taylor, chief of the bureau of agri
cultural economics of the United States department of agriculture as
a pressing need of American agri
culture, in a recent address at the
thirty-seventh annual convention of
the Association of Land Grant Col leges.
"The type of economic discussion
which shows that the present distressed financial condition of the
farmers is due to certain well-de fined economic forces, but which pre
scribes no remedy, will not find
permanent place in our agricultural colleges," Dr. Taylor said. "There is only one thing worse than a passive
attitude on the part of economists and that is political gestures by
those who have no serious intention
of helping farmers, but who would
secure a following by prescribing in
effective remedies.

The old Bat Cave,Twenty-flve miles southwest. of Carlsbad, N. M., discovered twenty-five years ago and which achieved its name because It was the habitat of innumerable bats', has been established as a national monument by proclamation of the president, and named the Carlsbad Cave. A survey of the cave was made by Mineral Inspector Holley of the general-land office, who had to travel several miles through underground
passages and descend a vertical distance of about 800 feet. A statement from the department of the interior says that no passage was explored to
the end and" that the, total depth" ol-

Mack, in court attacked the police department for arresting only "small violators" of the Volstead act. Judge Mack delivered nis attack
when imposing a dollar fine on a negro porter, who pleaded guilty of having sold a 10-cent glass of beer to a detective. "It's a pity," said the court, "we can not get the big fellows. It is too bad we have to arrest poor fellows on these violations. It will be a great many dollars and a great
