MANY FATALITIES CANADIAN FLYING v Ottawa, Jan. 18.--Seventeen per- sons were killed in flying accidents in Canada during 1928 according to figures made available at the De- partment of National defence. Of these 14 were killed in commercial flying and the others while in fly- ing club machines. Serious injuries were sustained by 16 persons, Considering the fact that a total of 2,500,000 miles were flown dur- ing the year, flying officials re- gard the figures as low. The most serious accident took place on Au- gust 25 at Vancouver, when a com- mereial plane went {nto the sea and seven persons lost their lives, ine cluding Alexander MeCullum Scott, British member of Parliament and his wife. For the last quarter of the year 89 private pilot licenses were is- sued, 37 commercial licenses and 21 air engineers licehess. Thirty new mircraft were registered and two mew air harbors. hay number of commercial planes in Canada at present is given ao Commrercial pilot« number 193 and jprivate pilots 148, yw» \ | WOMEN'S RECORDS IN THE AIR MAY BE RECOGNIZED Renewed Pressure Being Brought To Bear Upon Governing Bodies Washington, D. C,, Jan, 18, -- Since the American "flapper has sprouted wings, there is an increas- ing demand that their aviation re- cords for altitude, endurance, bare rel rolls or other stunts be recog- nized by the international body governing all alr performances. Women have taken to the air by the scores during the last few months, and 1929 ig certain to wit- ness a real battle for supermacy in the air among members of the "weaker' sex. e The year opened with the claim for a new woman's endurance flight record when Miss Bobby Trout, pretty 18-year-old Los Angeles girl, remained aloft in her tiny little plane for 12 hours and 11 minutes. The Federation Aeronautique In- ternationale, the 'world governing body for aviation records, never has considered the establishment of an official category for women, re- cognizing new records without re- gard for sex. Men have held come plete dominance of the field under present rules. Although the question of recog- nizing women's air records separ- ately has never come before the in- ternational body officially, it 1s known that the members have look» ed upon the suggestion with their thumbs tilted earthward. How- ever, the renewed pressure expect. ed to be brought to bear upon the F. A, 1. at its Copenhagen meeting this spring may bring about a change of this attitude. WOMEN RE-ORGANIZE Trenton, N, J., Jan, 18. -- Al- though the ranks of the women members of the legislature have thinned this year they have been given increased recognition. In the house of assembly women were given three of the five mem- berships on the appropriations com« mittee, Two of the five members of the educational committee are women, as are four of the five members of that on social welfare. A woman member was also Bppoinied to the taxation commit. ee. For the second time in New Jur- sey's history, a woman is chairman of the appropriations committee. Miss Agnes Jones, Essex, appoint- ed to that chairmanship, also re- ceived the honor at the opening session of being the first woman in the state to nominate the Speak- er of the House, when she placed Guy George Gabrielson's name be- fore the lower body.

Many objects of gold and silver, of price- less archaeolical value, also have been found. In reporting the resumption o. work by the joint expedition, C. Leonard Woolley, the director, in a letter made public here, said the new discoveries included gold dag- gers, a cylinder seal inscribed "Mes Kalam-Dug the King", a painted clay pot belonging to a prehistoric civilization, a copper head believed to be from the statue of a god, gold head-dresses, rings, beads and silver vessels, The copper head was said to have been the first object of its kind found in Ur. The objects were uncovered in the: cemetery where the expedition in 1927 and 1928 discovered sev- erl oval groves, including the tomb of Queen Shub-Ad, and where work was begun again about two months ago at the opening of the seventh season of excavatfons in Mesopo- tamia, Graves Robbed Mr. Woolley reported that grave robbers, Louse builders and layers of drains had "played havoc" with the upper levels of the cemetery, but that it had been possible to ob- serve as never before the vertical relations between successive strata, "At the bottom," Woolley said, "we found, not the tomb chamber of the King, which must lie under the soil not yet excavated, but the d ath pit inseparable from it, In this open part of the shaft measur- ing less than twenty by ten feet there were crowded the bodies of 39 women and one man lying in more or less ordered rows. '"Another shaft opened more sen- sationally with the discovery of a wooden box containing two dagg- ers with gold blades and gold-stud- ded handles and a sylinder seal in- scribed '"Mes-Kalam-Dug the King" This King, one must suppose, was a relative of the Prince Mes-Kalam- Dug whose gold helmet was one of the most spectacular finds of last season, Funeral Feast "Immediately below the box canre a coffin burial with stone and cop- per vessels and a mass of clay ves- sels extending over the whole brick covery was that of a harp, The woodwork of the instrument had decayed and disappeared, but luck- ily workmen noticed the holes which it had left in the soil, and by filling these with plaster of Paris we obtained a complete cast of th harp's body to which was attached the bull's head of copper inlaid with lapos lazuli. "The most astonishing thing was the fact that when the earth was carefully cut away to expose the cast there were found surviving lines of white fibrous powder the ten cat-gut string of the harp. "Prominent among our other finds are a copper statue-head, possibly of a god, having a human face, and the horns and ears of a bull, and a painted clay pot, which {s the first complete one of its kind found at Ur, Painted pots of this type belong to an earlier pre- historical eivillzation, : "We are just starting on the low etratum where, according' to last year's experince and the indica tion of this season's work, the best tombs may be expected." U.S. PRESIDENT 5 STORY TELLER Herbert Hoover Knows How to Draw a Splendid Word Picture Washington, D. C., Jan, 18 -- Herbert Hoover, president-elect of the United States, is an accomplish- ed narrator of short stories, in the opinion of a professional short story writer who knows him well. Ines Haynes Irwin, who is visiting in Washington, says the President. elect not only has plots which a Kipling or a Conrad might envy, but he knows how to tell them. Mrs. Irwin, who is the wife of Will Irwin, has known the Hoovers for many years. She recalls a trip across the ocean with them during which Herbert Hoover entertained a little circle each night on deck by telling of unusual takes of un- usual things he had encountered in out of the way places. "Despite the fact that he has never written for publication he is a masterly story teller," says Mrs, Irwin, "He has the born gift for narration. He tells things in a simple, undramatic manner but somehow one sees the whole epl- sode just as he describes it." 04 Rose by any a a /a "% -- S Other Name'- 5 af 1) S the poet said--"Would smell as sweet." In the same way a Hermit by any other name would taste as good.

Then were found more layers of votive pots and more sub- sidiary burials, all separated by floors of beaten clay or by strat of elean earth. In opposite corner there ap, :ared heaps of ashes anc wood, while lower down were clay cooking pots and animal bones which were the relics of a funeral feast or sacrifice made in the pit itself. "There were in a subterranean chamber six bodies, of which four were men-servants or soldiers, and the fifth a serving-maid while the sixth body was that of the woman in whose honor the tomb had been built, Hre we found the more or less conventional head-dress of gold ribbons and leaves, beads, ear- rings and finger-rings, and a pin of unusual type which is very long and of solid gold. "The bodies in the tomb had been covered with some sort of a wooden canopy and lay on a brick floor above a terra-cotta drain. The outer court of the tomb has yet to be dug. We know only that outside the stone blocking on the door there were set clay pots of food and the carcass of a sheep. Whether there were other human sacrifices it is impossible to say, but at least we have the servants in the tomb,and, in the filling-in of the shaft, tier above tier of food vessels and meat offerings and hu- man skeletons. The burial rits were elaborate indeed and the precise meaning of them fs likely to remain a matter of conjecture for a long time, i Infant's Grave "Other rich graves have been un- earthed. One, which might be call- ed the grave of the baby Princess, contained the body of an infant and with it & gold head-dress which was almost a replica in miniature of that worn by Queen Sjub-Ad. In the same grave was found a set of miniature silver vessels, including a tumbler and bowls, which seemed pathetically appropriate.

Vicks VapoRub is espe- cially valuable because it is applied externally, and so can be used freely without upsetting the most delicate digestion, 1 d osing" How Best to use Vicks Vapo-Rub 1. As A Preventive Several times a day, insert Vicks up the nostrils, also melt a little night and morning in a bowl of boiling water and inhale the steaming medicated vapors. 2. If a Cold Starts If possible, go home and go to bed. Apply hot wet towels over throat and chest until the skin is thoroughly reddened. Then rub vigorously with Vicks. Spread on thickly and cover with warm (lannel. Leave the bed-covering loose, so that the vapors, released by the body-warmth, may be freely inhaled. At the same time, Vicks acts through the skin like a2 poultice. Repeat this treatment every four hours, eat light- ly, and stay in bed until the cold is broken. Com- - plete rest helps the body to throw off the cold more quickly. 3. After A Flu Attack Physicians advise that the chief danger in this epidemic is after Influenza, Then, more than ever, colds attacking the weakened system may lead to sronchitis, sinus-trouble or pneumonia. This is especi- ally true of children or old folks. Heed even the slightest cold as a danger signal and treat it promptly without "dosing." Acts 2 Ways at once VICKS VAPORUB
