ANCIENT MARVEL OF EGYPT
Labyrinth Constructed Some $500
Years Ago Was 4 Structure
Of Colossal Size.

King Minos, with his labyrinth on
the island of Crete, Is generally sup
posed to have been the originator of
the maze idea but Egypt has laby-
rinth, too, and Egypt manages to hold
the record for antiquity in almost ev-
erything, labyrinths included.
This Egyptian labyrinth Is $500
years old. 1t Is merely chaotic mass
Of rocks piled up in the desert few
miles out OF Medinet. The outlines Of
the walls merge dimly here and there
from the ruins. and from these out
lines, and the carvings on the stones.
Psychologists deduce that the laby
rinth was built by 4 certain King
Labarys. who was more popularity
known as Amenemhat III.
The structure was 800 by 900 feet.
1t contained 5000 rooms, half above
ground, half below. Remember that
the largest hotel In our present day
world boasts about that number Of
rooms on 4 dozen floors and covers a
city square, and some idea Of the size
Of the two-story labyrinth can be
gained.
Nobody has figured out yet why King
Amenemhat built this enormous pal
ace or tomb. In the lower story, his
tory says, the sacred crocodiles and
kings were buried, while the upper
floor was. few centuries after King
Amenemhat's time. used as a seat OF
government.
The labyrinth WAS wonderful
place, one of the most wonderful in
Egypt. if our ideas Of it are correct.
and Its greatness was its downfall.
The citizens Of a nearby town. who
worshiped the ichneumon, resented
the sacred crocodles of the labyrinth.
And 50 they made an attack upon one
of King Amenemhat's successors and
reduced the largest structure in Egypt
TO a ruin.

without some iconoclast getting on the
first page.
For example, there's that German
astronomer and scientist Prof. Albert
Einstein, with his theory Of "relativi-
ty." This ''relativity" theory is so
wonderful that only twelve men in all

established theories into cooked hat
The professor holds, it Is generally
understood that our IDEAS of time and

In the State of California, on the
Pacific, is the Cabrillo national monu-
ment. 1t was created October IA, 1913,
by proclamation of President Wilson,
under the act for the preservation of
American antiquities approved June 8,
1906. All regular, you see; here's
something, moreover, on which the
president and congress agree.
Cabrillo national monument was ded-
icated by the United States to the
people because it is believed to be on
the identical spot first sighted by Juan
Rodriguez Cabrillo September IS, 1912,
on his voyage Of discovery Of the Pa
cific coast. Vasco Nunez de Balboa,
first of Europeans to see the Pacific,
gazed on 1t from a high peak of the
Isthmus of Panama in 1913. Cabrillo
was the first of Europeans to see Cali

STATE GAME WARDEN
 SERIOUSLY INJURED
 IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Thrown into a ditch when the car in which he was riding was over turned, Joe Prochaski, state game warden. was taken to hospital in Mesa Saturday night seriously in jured from cuts on the head and body. The accident occurred on the Florence Superior highway about five miles this side of the Queen Creek bridge shortly after 10 o'clock.
 Prochaski. with Burt Gillespie, also of this city, in the latter's car, was returning to Phoenix Saturday night. Approaching a wash where, unknown to the motorists, the bridge had been washed out by recent high water, they suddenly were confronted by several Fresno scrapers turned upside down on the embankment. It is said that the highway department had started work in repairing the road and re- placing the bridge and that the scrap CTS had been placed on the embank- ment as guard to the wash-out bridge
 There was no time to stop the car which swerved to one side in an effort to dodge the scrapers. The ear, however. struck some of the scrap CTS and was overturned into the ditch at the side. It is believed that the steering knuckle of the car had been broken in the crash, Prochaski and Gillespie both were thrown out as the car went into the ditch.
 Behind the Gillespie car. at a short distance, was a car driven by Frank B. Baptist of 2034 West Washington street. MT. Baptist and man accom- panying him saw the car ahead crash into the scrapers and go into the ditch When NIT. Baptist and the man reached the scene. MT. Prochaski was on his feet, supported by Mir. Gillespie. The state game warden was bleed ing profusely from several cuts on his head. Mir. Gillespie fortunately had escaped without injury.
 Mir. Prochaski was taken in the Baptist car to a hospital in Mesa where his injuries received treatment and where he spent the night He was taken to his home in this city Sunday morning. Word received last night was that the injuries to the state game warden were well taken care Of and that he would soon recover

FARMERS ALARMED
 AT FIRES IN VALLEY

Farmers in many sections of the valley have taken alarm at the dis S covery of phosphorus in hay stacks near Litchfield following the fire there last Saturday and are taking extra precaution in guarding their posses sions. This Sheriff Montgomery has found while working to arrest the in eendiary responsible for the destruc ton by fire of hay valued at about $30, ,000
 II don't want to appear as an alarm st but I feel called upon to advise that the law abiding element in this valley must be prepared to protect themselves from a dangerous force which is raising it's fangs out of the brushes to strike" Sheriff Montgomery said last night. The Litchfield fire convinces me of the nearness of this evil clement
 lief that the man responsible for the Litchfield fire only served as tool for a lawless element which is plan ming on making a concerted movement of destruction and terrorism.
 With his deputies Dewitt and Price Sheriff Montgomery went thoroughly over the scene of the fire yesterday and returned to the office last night much encouraged

MACHINES ARE LOST
 WHEN GARAGE BURNS

Two motor cars were destroyed by fire last night when q garage in the rear of the home of Francis ]. Archer, 2415 North Central avenue. burned to the ground. The origin of the fire is thought to have been in the ignition system of one of the motor cars. The theory is advanced that a short circuit may have occurred in the electrical equipment of the car, causing the gasoline in the tank or carburetor to ignite.
 The loss was total although the exact amount of money involved has not yet been reckoned. One of the motor cars in the fire was a new Chandler. the other was an electric coupe.
 Phoenix fire department squad No. 1 received the call by telephone at 9:20 o'clock. and although the fire was half mile outside the city limits, water from an irrigation ditch to quell the flames which had gotten a big start by the time the fire squad ar rived. The firemen battled for nearly an hour before the fierce flames were finally extinguished. They were sue cessful in keeping the fire from spreading to surrounding houses, which stood at short intervals from the burning garage
 It is not believed that incendiarys, who are said to be operating in this valley. were responsible for the blaze
 Several hundred motoring parties attracted by the blaze, parked their cars along Central avenue and the Thomas road while the occupants got out to witness the fire.

From Egypt by way of the European press, comes news of the ending of remarkable court case at Cairo. It orig mated in vendetta, not between fam1 ies but between the two whole villages Hamidt and Ashraf. near Keneh, Up per Egypt. northeast of the ruins of Thebes.
 One hundred and fifty years ago a dog from the village of Hamidat bit an Ashraf man. who died. quarrei followed between his relatives and the owner of the Hamidat dog. which de- veloped till the inhabitants of AShraf considered that all persons of Hamidat blood were guilty of the death. The hatred of one village for the other be came hereditary. and assassination was common between them whenever the conditions of the country favored dis order.
 Last spring Ashraf attacked Hami- dat in force. score of Hamidatians were killed. 12O houses were burned and all movables. such as cattle and harvests. were carried off. Hamidat remembered the dog and bit back, killing 16 of the assailants. These slayers have just been tried. 1 Fl accused being brought into court and one lawyer assigned to every five persons by the defense. Twenty one received sentence of 10 years penal servtude.
 It is noteworthy that the vendetta
 did not deaewomen, who during the 150 years had indulged only in
 verbal warfare.
