STUDY WAYS TO INEARTH BURIED , EGYPTIAN SHAFT Obelisk Found Below Roman Street —Lost Since Fourth Century. Bu Times Special .ROME, Aug. 20.—Italian experts are studying ways to bring to light a hugh Egyptian obelisk, now resting at a depth of several feet below the level of one of the Roman streets. The obelist, if not the largest of those presently known, is certainly of the same size and length as that which rises majestically in St. Peter’s Square. The difference between the two monuments is that while the former is a genuine Egyptian handicraft the latter is an Imitation, made during the Imperial era of Rome. Found Under Palace Rome has already seven Egyptian obelisks in its public squares and an equal number of imitation ones. The obelisk which it is plantfed to bring to light, lies right underneath the Giustiniani and Patrizi palaces, two magnificent medieval mansions, and right on top of it the masonry of an aqueduct is laid, clearly demonstrating how the present city of is largely built on the ruins of smietimes five different strata of devastation, showing how after the various invasions, the new conquerors leveled off the debris and commenced building upon the new surface. Huge Marble Mass The tip and the base of the obelisk have been located with exact precision, and this causes experts to believe in the feasibility of pulling it out by either end through a tunnel which will run the whole length of the obelisk. The hugh mass of marble would then be taken to its final destination by means of rolling devices. 1 Historians and archaelogists are of the opinion that tlVe obelisk has been In its present place since the Fourth or the Fifth century. They think that it fell btdng taken from Rome to be shipped to Constantinople, probably on the order by a Byzantine emperor. MODERN GIRL ALL 0. K. College Heads Admit They Are Best Types. By Times Special LONDON, Aug. 20—There is nothing the matter with the modern girl. She's all right. Thus was the question settled at a recent conference of the Association of Headmistresses. Mis Annie Morrison, principal of the Francis Holland school, in speaking of modern girls, said: to Grannie's view-point tWr are dll wrong. But in spite of this I think - the modern girls are delightful. Heads of colleges admit they never have had a better intellectual type, or one more imbued with the spirit of service. “As far as that’s concerned, Grannie no longer is content to sit placidly in the corner with her Bible and knitting, but cries aloud for betting tips and dance favors.”

Pays $15,00 for Jug of Real Beer By Vnlted Press BERLIN, Aug. 20.—A daylaborer’s thirst for a stein of good, • cold beer, netted the widow of the local inn-keeper at Bad Ischl, Austria, a fortune of $15,000. * The buxom widow is the winner of the big prize in the latest Austrian state lottery. A few years ago, her husband worked near Ischl as a miner. Today • his widow is one of the richest inhabitants of the district. The winning ticket was first bought by a worker, Johann Bart, at a little tobacco shop at the summer resort of Bad Ischl. But Johann couldn’t conjure up enough patience to await the fateful drawing of lots. And so when he visited the local inn one evening, he decided that a glass of beer in the hand was worth an uncertain lottery-prize in the bush. Accordingly, he ordered a stein of Pilsner and paid his bill with his lottery ticket. When the lots were drawn, the innkeeper’s w-idow was officially advised that she had won $15,000. In order to console Johann for h's loss, the widow invited Him , to drown his sorrow in beer for a whole evening—at her expense.

WINONA IS SUGGESTION FOR TRIP Hoosier Motor Body Gives Route for Week-End Outing. Winona Lake is one -.of the most popular resorts in the middle west and affords the Hoosier motorist essentials for a pleasant week-end vacation. The best route, given by the Hoosier Motor Club, follows: Indianapolis to Winona Lake —From Indianapolis go north on Meridian St. to the Canal. Here turn right along the Canal to Broad Ripple. Turn left in Broad Ripple across the Canal and follow State Rd. 1-through Carmel, Westfield, Kokomo to Peru. From Peru go east on State Rd. 7 to Wabash; north on Rd. 27 to Warsaw. The distance is 124 miles. The road is paved to Peru —the remainder of the route is over gravel and reported somewhat rutted in places. A shorter route Is possible through Rann, but it would be necessary to receive local information from Peru, as the highway is unmarked. Watch out for speed trap between Broad Ripple and Carmel. A weighing machine, designed for use in shops, is so finely constructed that it will weigh anything from a human hair to an article of forty pounds. Postmarks date back over two centuries, the first provincial specimen being marked “Warringtbn,” on a letter dated 1702, long before adhesive stamps came into use.

FORTUNETELLER SAYS BABY WILL ASCENDTHRONE Predicts Princess Elizabeth Will Be Queen of England. Bu United Press LONDON, Aug. 20.—Fortune tellers, working out the horoscope of Princess Elizabeth, baby daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York, declare she will be one day Queen of England. This implies that the Prince of Wales either will not marry or, if he marries, will die childless: and that the Duke of York, his brother, will die without having any sons. Now Princess Elizabeth is third in line of succession to the Prince and the Duke, but either a son or daughter born to Wales or a son to the Duke of York displace her. To Have Long Life The fortune tellers declare the stars decree that the Princess shall have a long life, but that she will be rather delicate, and that she will ascend the throne as Queen Elizabeth. Nine will be the guiding figure of her life, they say, as 13 was Woodrow Wilson’s. The Duchess of York, her mother, has now recovered completely from the great strain which few knew she endured when she gave birth to the Princess. There was at one

time great fear that she would never completely recover. But she is well and happy. Marriage rumors regarding Wales are dormant for a while, and talk is more of the possibility of the baby growing up to be Queen. Plays Golf Wales is dividing his time between official engagements in various parts of the kingdom and seaside weekends of golf and tennis, usually in company of his equerry. Brig. Gen. Gerald Trotter. If anyone Is worrying about his having passed his thirty-second birthday without showing any signs of getting married and providing a direct heir to the throne, it is not Wales himself. In two months now, the hunting season will have begun, and unless he engages himself to one of the sporting British girls, who on horseback chase the elusive fox across country over fences and ditches, he will not have much time for courtship. DIAMONDS ARE POPULAR t Millionaire's Syndicate Flooded With Gem Orders. Bn United Pr ss LONDON, Aug. 20—Diamonds are growing in popularity. The Holborn-viaduct here, the home of the Diamond Syndicate, has recently been flooded with exceptionally large orders for gems. The demand is attributed to the popularity of the stones in America. The Diamond Syndicate, better known as the "millionaire's syndicate,” controls the output of the world's largest mines. It deals solely in rough stones, which are sold to Amsterdam and Antwerp dealers, who cut and polish the gems. Prices of larger stones have risen 15 per cent during the last twelve months.

ARTIST QUARTER MOVES TO SIDE OF ROLUNG SEA Wildly Painted Houses Are Homes of Greenwich Villagers. Bu United PA-ss GLOUCESTER, Mass., Aug. 20. Down on Rocky Point, a little peninsula that jags out into the sea near here, Greenwich Village has settled itself for the summer. In wildly painted huts and cabins that strike terror to the soul of the normal person, the artists are hard at work—painting, writing, acting and sculpturing. They are besmocked, overalled and carefree. Perfect Sdene There is no hint of the prosaic, no touch of commercialism. It is a perfect scene, perfectly set with actors who know their roles. Even the t shops, what few there are, blend into the ensemble with their orange and blue walls, their sea-green bottles that hold candles at night and their cracked and broken china. Romany Marie’s, The Tea Kettle, The Ship and Tiffin’s, they are all old friends, moved here for the season and their proprietors know well the wants and requirements of art.

By United Press * TOKIO, Aug. 20.—Morltaka Kuki, a prophet, seer and revelator, established in Tokio for some years, was doing fine, with about a thousand persons drawing comfort from his prophecies and paying well for it. He had his own shrine and an assistant to help draw the veil back from the future. However, a month ago he made a bad guess, believing that he could introduce a pretty young girl from Kyoto into* his sanctuary and Increase his own happiness thereby. What even his prophetic eye could not see was that his assistant might also fall in love with the Kyoto damsel. The eternal triangle played Its usual discordant note. The girl went back to Kyoto and the assistant prophet went to the police with a long tale of how Kuki duped his followers. The have searched the prophet’s mansion and put the seer into jail on the strength of what they found. Among his victims, whom he had carefully card catalogued, are a number of well known persons, including members of the nobility.
