WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—By a vote of 177 to 134 the House today insisted on its provision in the an- nual army appropriation bill pro- hibiting the enlistment of persons under 21 years of age without the written’ consent of their parents or guardians. The Senate eliminated this provi- and Chairman Anthony of charge of the measure, urged that the House accept the Senate amend- ment, declaring that the House pro- vision would “seriously cripple” re- cruiting for the army, since 37 per cent of the recruits were under 21 years of age.

SPECIAL MUSEUN ONE SUGGESTION OFFERED Thebes Apparently Is Being Regarded as More Appro- | Than | priate Location Cairo. | Special Cable to the Poat-Dispatch LUXNOR, Feb. 21.—What is to be done with the treasures of Tutankh- amen unearthed at Thebes? Follow- ing precedents previously esta blished, they are to be taken, according to present arrangements, to Cairo. But i . - there is no reai precedent for a dis- covery of such thrilling magnitude. Whether they are to be Cairo or are to be retained at Thebes some building must be them, as there is no room in the al- ready overcrowdea@ Cairo Museum. Nor is the Cairo Museum the real place for them, nor is any other ex- isting museum an ideal place in which to store them. Unless they are subdivided several times—-which is very undesirable— they would completely overwhelm any other collection of antiquities extant. They form such a distinc- tive and unique collection that they deserve to be kept together and |guarded as ah imperishable tribute to Egypt's golden age. Advantage Over Cairo. The suggestion Mas been made that a museum be built at Thebes, and this suggestion has much to com- mend it, betause, in the first place, it-assures. that these things will be kept.ee” Hite in their} - has possible original setting. Though some place must be built for them, the ques- tion of cost doés not loom serious); against the proposal, because it would not cost much more to build # museum at Thebes than it would cost to add a wing to the Cairo Mu. seum; also, the collection would be much more accessible at Thebes than at Cairo. The advantage of keeping the col- lection at Thebes is exemplified: by the mummy of Xenophis II lying i solitary state in his tomb in the Val- ley of Kings. One can see many mummies in the Cairo Museum, but none of them nor all of them send a thrill through you comparable to the sight of this Pharaoh’s em- balimed remains resting peacefully under a sun glass covering in the tomb where he was laid to await the reall. Climate Not the Rest. Again, the Cairo Museum is built right on the bank of the Nile. It stands in the worst place that could be chosen. Damp air always is pep vading its rooms. Treasures discov- ered by Theodore M. Davis 17 years ago already are beginning to fail. Finally, Cairo is in the center of Egypt, and there is always the possi- bility of the museum being attacked some day. All these dangers would be obvi- ated by the erection of a museum in the Thebian hills to house_ those remnants of Tutankhamen's magnifi- cence except, perhaps, ‘the outer canopy, which may as well be left where it is, so that the visitors of the future may receive a medley of impressions such as overawed those who have stood in front of this glis- tening frame in the last few days.
