rz4p OF NALEY OF zzE KINGS

discovered by Carter The diagram below shows
the location of these tombs In the Valley of
the Kings The mummy is that of Sethos ], pow
erfu Pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty G32s-
1908 B. c.. This mummy is in the museum at
Cairo. Tut-Ankh-Amens mummy, If found will
look much like 1t.
The photograph at the lower right Is part of
what the eXcavators directly in front of them
when they broke through the door of the first
chamber. The spotted animal is of gilt in
laid with ebony, of the supports of royal
ceremonial couch; its head is emblematic of Hat
hor, the cow-headed goddess. Piled up under this
couch are boxes containing mummifed food
To the right is the foot of another couch,
the supports of which lions. The big box In
front of 1t contains the kings underwear. To the
left is the head of third couch, the supports be
ing a NEUROLOGICAL animal of the underworld. Upon
this couch Is large wooden casket, with white
panels bearing the cartouches of the names of the
king and queen. Under this couch is the kings
chair throne.
Under the same couch is an ancient breach
through the sealed doorway of annex to this
first chamber. Through this can be seen masses
of objects stacked up five feet high.
The four alabaster vases shown are piled up at
the head of the Hat-hor couch. They are of de-
sign never before found
These articles but part of those in this cham
ber. There is apparently everything that n king
could use, from silver boomerang for hunting to
chariots and personal jewelry. In the northeast
and northwest corners are two enormous portrait
statues of Tut-Ankh-Amen
Here Is a minds-eye diagram of Tut-Ankh-
Amens tomb. far as 1t has been opened up:
The tomb is in the form of T, with the entrance
at the small end, facing east First twenty steps
down. Next an east and west passage 80 feet long.
Next north and south room. 81 by Is feet and
feet high At the south end is second room, not
yet opened. At the north end is the room contain
ing the catafalque believed to hold the mummy.
OFF this last room is another. without door, full
of miscellaneous articles, including works of art.
The catafaque, on which the attention of the
archaeological world Is centered, gives every evil
dence of containing the mummy of Tut-Ankh-
Amen 1t Is 10 feet by IL and 10 feet high. 1t
practically fills the chamber. The outer case Is
apparently cedar elaborately ornamented both out
side and inside; only an Psychologist can describe
It, Heavy doors, which oren few inches disclose
a second case equally elaborate. which Is sealed.
Between the two cases is a mass of 1ewelry, prin-
cipay scarabs. A section of the wall will have to
be demolished to remove the several cases.
Perspective of Egyptian history: 1t should be
remembered that Egypt was old In Tut-Ankh-
Amen's time. It's continuous civilization dates
from about 5000 B. G. and Its written record begins
about 5000 B. G. The Sphinx, hewn from the liv-
Ing rock for purpose not yet settled, is believed
to be older than the pyramids, which were built

tomb of Rameses VI This particular Rameses
didn't amount to much a Pharaoh, but he dug
himself whopTing big elaborate tomb in the solid
rock, SO now it's swept and busted and lighted by
electricity and is one of the approved sights.
Twice did Carter dig in front of this elaborate
tomb and twice he missed by few yards only.
Last fall, n spot just 10 feet from the wall of
the big tomb his "hunch" said Dig here" First
he struck some ancient workmen's huts. Then he
came upon step cut in the solid rock He went
down 20 steps and found door covered with In
tact seals of the royal cemetery
Now the work has been stopped and the tomb
reseaed until cooler weather next fall. This gives
Mr.. Everyman, who is neither an archeologist nor
an Egyptologist a chance to catch up and find out
what all the excitement is about, to be ready
Tor the doings when work is resumed. These will
be in the way of climax to a romantic and dra-
matte story. What follows is intended to be in
formative.
Howard Carter is American who went to
Egypt thirty years ago to paint in water colors.
He did work for the Egyptian Exploration fund
and achieved a large reputation an archeoIogi-
cal draughtsman. He was made government In
srector of antiquities for Upper Egypt The late
Theodore NJ Davis of Boston obtained concession
In 1901 and Carter took charge of exploration.
Davis Mt first very successful. Later his luck
changed and Lord Carnarvon took over his conces-
sion In 1914. During the war Carter was In the
British Intelligence service. This Is Carriers first
big find for Carnarvon who got discouraged more
.han and now gives Carter full credit for per-
ssicnt belief In his 'hunch."
George Edward Stanhope Moyneaux Herbert Is
the NTH earl of Carnarvon. He was born In 1866
and succeeded his father In 1890. He was edu-
cnted at Elton and at Trinity college. Cambridge
He married Almina Wombell I'm 1898 and has
son and daughter. He owns about 10000 acres and
has a racing stable.

THE REFEREE
(By Albert AppIe)

When we expect coal we are rob-

descendants will not have enough
fuel. His fear is groundless. Amer
ica has sufficient coal, unmined, to
/ last over ! 900 years at the rate it is
being consumed now. And long be-
fore that LOCO years are up, coai

There is never real shortage of
coal. The shortage IS in mine labor
and transportation. Solution of the
fuel problem eventually will come by
burning the coal at the mines to
generate current for country on
an electrical basis.

One out of every four tons of coal
mined in America is consumed by
the railroads.
Obviously, the first logical step to
end coal shortages would be to cleo
trify the roads. This would save
coal. Also it would release thou

coal to points where it is stored until
locomtives take it abroad.

tation problem" may be merely the

Thirty-two million dollars in wages
We're paid in 1914 to candy makers,

In 1921. The raw materials in 1914

Inc liquor theory may be applied
to ice cream but is not done SO as
a general rule. Nor has the ice cream
consumption tluctuated in the same
manner in relation to prohibition.
lhere has been a steady increase.
Ice Cream Statistics
In 1914 the American people paid
$56,00o,o00 for ice cream, in 1918
they paid 100000 and in 1921
they bought 1913. 100000 worth. This
SHOWS an increase OF 2S1 per cent in
the seven year period the census
figures cover.
There were in 1914 1859 ice cream
factories employing 1884 persons:
In 1919 there were ASIA factories
employing 2S,046 persons and in
1871 there were 2,528 factories en-
ployins 27,T35 persons. Nine million
dollars were paid in salaries and
wages in 1914. s30,O00,00O in 1918
and $S7 100000 in 1921. Raw mate
rails In 1914 cost s32,000,00O; in 1918
they cost 100000 and in 1921
they cost s121, 100000.
In addition to the ice cream manu-.
featured in factories, there were
other establishments making ice
cream as sort of by product. Com
tectionery establishments and butter
factories produced in 1919 $4,000. :
900 worth and in 1921, $4,000. 600
worth. There is no record of the ice
cream made in the freezer on the
back porch of the suburban dwelling
or in the kitchenette of the city
apartment.
These figures show that the Amer
ican people spend S2.45 a wear ner
capita for ice cream and SS.i3 a veor
per capita for candy or a total of
So.5S year per capita for sweet
oalnties. AS only about one-third of
