The prosperity the country Ls enjoy- mg from bij; crops nnd the boom In war order.s wore Koiie ovor tlmroughly. Bolh capital nnd labor were urgoil to work in the coramon Interest of the nation's welfare.
"Shortly after the war." Barr said. "by the time Iho foreign governuimts cen reconstriKjt their manufncturliijj; tadu.stiies, the rnited States wlll fac.^ the greatest (Mimpctltlve stnigulp In Its- hlstorj-.
"We should huslmnd our resources: the people generally should be more thrifty and more etonomtcal; we should improve our mnchlner.v appliances In onr plants.
"Further thau that," he continued. "from a purely luunufncturliig view¬ point, we might assume that the for¬ eign countries may during thc early reconstruction period follow thoir mo¬ bilization plan In iudustry, ns they have In arms, which from a produc¬ tion standpoint would mean the low¬ est possible cost."
Colonel Pope talked earnestly to tho manufacturers on "Industrial prepared¬ ness." He said American Industry needs greater uniformity and standard¬ isation.
Colonel Pope said American Industry requires preparedness in its sphere ex¬ actly as in tlieir spheres the army ami navy require jireparedness. The meth¬ od and means are difTerent, he assert¬ ed, but tbe underlying principles are tiie same.
Colouel Poi)e said that from many quarters there constantly arise mis- ffuided, unfair attack and hostility toward Industrial and business sys¬ tems that retard development and growth seriously, and they should be guarded against.
Referring to tbe attacks made on business through politics. Pope said:
"Politics should meau a fahr and frank discussion as to the best ways by which our commonwealth may be ad¬ vanced and the welfare of our citlxens promoted. Would that this were trae! Politics, however, often degenerates Into a systemajjc method.of attack, ar- mignment. Indictment, charge and ac- CQsatlon.
"Almost there exists at times a war sone In the fleld of American bushieas. .Industry Is tbos put on tbe defensive, and this situation cannot continue without disastrous results to those wbo are sincerely Interested in oor national Indostrial progress and who are at loart as patriotic as any group of men Ja mIo wurtd."

ROYAL MUMMY HEAD A HOODOO
Widow Blames It For Daiths of Rusiiand and Son.
IS DONATED TO MUSEUM.
Ooclaroo Sho Bolieves That Mummy tkull of sn Egyptian Quoon Worked a Spoil Ovor Hor Family—Hopeful That Sho Can Broak This by Giving Hoad Away.
Pittsburgh. — Because her husband and son have ^ied jijnce the.acquisition of the mummy skull of an Egyptian queen nearly 3,500 years old Mrs. Jere Bauman of 4C6 Nesbannock ave¬ nue, Newcastle, haa donated the head to the Carnegie museum.
Mrs. Bauman says she believes that the mummy worked a spell upon tbe members of her family, aud she is hopeful that she can break tbis by giv¬ ing the bead away. Hcr son died four years ago, and her husband* died iast month.
The skull is tbat of Queen Hatshep- antt. or Natasu, of the line of Thothmes. It was unearthed by Mr. Bauman In September, 1900, while he and his wife were traveling In Egypt. The head weighs about flve pounds and is cov ered with a brown black clolh, which is glued tight to the flesh. Openings In the cloth show glistening eyes, and It Is believed that they are polished agates. The ears and markings of the face show distinctly.
Queen Hatshepsutt, uccording to Mrs. Bauman, ruled about 1578 B. C. She followed the relgu of Amasls, of the eighteenth dynasty, who overthrew tho Hyksos, or shepherd kings. Amasls' son Amcnophls, or Amenhotep I., be¬ came tbe patron saint of the Thebnn Necropolis. Thutinosis, or Thothmes I., next to rule, penetrated Into Xubin be¬ yond the Third cataract and also Into Syria as far as the Euphrates.
Queen Hatshepsutt followed her <athpr and ruled with her brother. Thothmes 11., and independently. She is characterized hi history as a most energetic ruler and oue accustomed to have her way.
"Tradition tells lis that moving a body from Its native soil and tomb will bring iniln to the holder," said Mrs. Bauman. "I did not give this much thought. I did not like the head, but my husband seemed lo place no belief In the superstltWn.
"The eyes seemed so penetratln;^. They were a kind of a.i;ate and spar¬ kled dimly out of the folds of cloth. Four years ago raj' son died bere while my husband and I were traveling in Germany. We came home at once. This may have been a warning.
"Recently my busL'ar.'.l was taken ill. One nighl while slttln.: in hl« chair he called my name, and tlve minutes later he wns dead.
"I am through with tho bead—In his notes of the Egyptiiin trip Mr. Bauman calleil the head a 'treasure'—aud 1 wlll feel safer with It out of my home. It seems to have worked Its evil spell here."
