PRIVILEGE GRANTED T. Nj. DAVIS
BY EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT.
Only American Allowed to Make Ex-
cavations in Quest of Royal
Resting-Pl Places-InterestinJ
Things Revealed.

BOstOn.-The problem OF a wealthy
business man of how To occupy his
time after retiring has been happily
solved by Theodore IS. Davis OF New
York and Newport
Mr.. Davis has spent his winters for
the past five years in conducting .eXca-
yatiOns among the tombs of the kings
near Thebes, in Egypt. His summers
are spent at his villa in Newport, the
Reef.
Here an interviewer found him not
long ago. He was then preparing for
his annual trip TO Egypt, to which he
is now en- route, TO begin his sixth sea
son of research.
In a drawing room cabinet in Mr..
Davis house was an exquisite Egyptian
relic, an alabaster head of one of the
ancient queens of Egypt which formed
part of his treasure troVe last season.
Before sailing for Europe, on his
way to Egypt, Mr. Davis sent this
treasure to the Metropolitan museum
OF art in New York, where it is now on
exhibition.
The head is that of Queen Thy, and
is one of the four that were found in
her tomb. 1t represents the art of
Egypt 300 years ago. and is one OF
the rarest specimens of its kind ever
found. The heads formed the Orna-
mentation of four canOpic jars found
in the tomb. Although the tomb of
Ouppu ThV contained no ieWalry the
finding of these four heads was con-

sidered sufficient reward for an entire
winters search.
Mr.. Davis is the only American en-
jOying the privilege of excavating for
the tombs of Egyptian royalty. The
government of Egypt gives him eX-
elusive right to work in the Valley Of
the Kings near Thebes.
In return for his expenditure of time
and money in this fascinating pursuit
Mr.. Davis finds ample compensation in
the pleasure OF bringing to light price
less relics of the early Egyptian dynas-
ties and of recording for circulation
among EgyptOlosists the character of
mis- findings.
He is not permitted to keep the
relics found. the Egyptian government
lays claim to them all and places them
in the museum at Cairo, except in
such instances as that of the finding
of four heads of Queen Thy. when Mr.
Davis was permitted to bring one to
America and give it TO the MeropOli-
tan museum.
As soon as a tomb is discovered the
Egyptian government takes possession
of il, posting guards TO prevent the
workmen carrying away any of its con
tents. This is a necessary precaution,
as otherwise the men would carry off
much of value.
Mr.. Davis employees about $50 men,
under a competent superintendent and
several bosses. All are natives.

something like mining. 1t is necessary

The cOnhguTatiOn of the land and of

The only way to find a tomb is to
dig for it," said Mr.. Davis. Like the
miner, one must take his chance of
finding anything. Thus far l have been
fortunate in uncOvering a tomb each
year: still. one might dig an entire
season and find nothing to reward him
for his work.

Why Do You Wash Woodwork ?

Most househeepers if asked why
they wash their woodwork would look
contemptuous and say: Why, to keep

Yet there is another reason that
makes it imperative that the wood of

week with a soft damp cloth.

from drying out and shrinking and our
