YOUSRY PASHA CITES
EGYPT’S TRADITIONS
Women Used Cosmetics in Dawn of
History, He Tells Arts and
Letters Society.
In the tomb of King Tut-ankh-
Amca and of the parents of Queen
Tal are samples of tho greatest
achievements of the renaissance of
art, science and literature shat be
gan in Egypt during the rule of the
twenty-sixth dynasty about 650 8.C.,
It was pointed out by S. Youery
Pasha, minister from Egypt, in an
address before the members of the
International Association of Art and
Letters last night.
“Not only were the ancient Egyptians
desirous of surrounding themselves
and their dead witti beautiful jewels
and objects of art, but the people
demanded beauty in the everyday
utensils of life,” explained the min
ister. Painters and sculptors, he said,
were looked upon as artisans, while
the architect was held in high rank
and frequently married the Pharoah’s
daughters.
Showed the Age of Art.
The minister showed that the age
of art in Egypt passed away after
holding sway for 3.000 years, but not
before it had influenced the whole
of the orient and, through Greece, Eu
rope. Much of the Greek art and
myths arc variations of the Egyptian
and the Doric order, and the Tuscan
took much of its origin from Egypt,
he declared.
The alphabet, he pointed out, was
formed in Egypt. Taken first from
1,700 hieroglyphs at the command of
the monument maker or sacred
scribe, forty-fire characters wore
selected for the alphabet, which were
finally reduced to twenty-five, the
number at which nearly all other
alphabets remain.
AndcsM I'mfd Comedo.
He pointed out that cosmetics were
an invention that came with the dis
covery of metal ore. - "Long before
metal copper was known the crude
copper was used as an ingredient of
the cosmetics with which the women
painted their faces.
There is. In fact, perhaps food for
thought, for those among ua who are
Inclined to look upon the use of
roufro and other similar embellish
ments as a wicked contrivance used
by the young generation to speed its
progress toward destruction will find
that the urge to put something on
the face to increase Us attractiveness
is an instinct at least as old as man's
knowledge of metals, declared the
minister.
••Once Morn Independent.”
j In speaking of modern Kgypt, Min
ister 'Vousry declared: "Kgypt is once
' more an Independent nation and re
solves to make for herself in tho
family of nations a place worthy of
Us great history. in that develop
ment the sympathy and understand
ing of the American people will !><■
of high value to the people of my
land.”
MRS. E. W. GRILLS DIES.

LEGION POST PROTESTS
OUSTING OVER BONUS
Action Called Un-American by San
Francisco Organization That
Opposed Payment.
By the Associated ri.ss.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S. —Tele-
graphic protest against the posts
suspension was made today to John
R. Quinn, national commander of
the American Legion, by Dayligh;
Post. No. 299, of the American
Legion here. The port was suspend- «
ed ten days ago after publicity was
given to its anti-bonus resolution.
The suspension order was called
“an un-American action.” The tele
gram declared its effect was to "give
the impression that membership it
the American Legion is conditioned
upon holding a view in favor of
granting a cash bonus to able-bodb-o
former service men.”
