exceptional range Of bargains
will be offered to the large num-
Der of both local and out of
town visitors who are expected
to visit the city during the day
and evening. Everywhere the
bargains are exceptional in their
generous offers.
1t has been a closed season
since Christmas. People resid-
ing in the outlying districts have
come into the city with difficult
ty. Meanwhile their need for
necessities has grown. In rec
ognition of this fact and because
the snow has held Off for at least
week. allowing the roads to be
made fairly passable again, and
also because a kindly calendar
tells US that spring cannot "be
far behind" the merchants have
arranged this Dollar Day as the
signal for the opening of a new
season. Consequently the varie-
ty of bargains offered is large
and varied, and ranges through
the stocks Of practically every
store in the city
Get your money changed into
dollar bills-to save your own
time and the clerks-and then
consult the Dollar Day folder
and the advertisements in this
issue Of The Patriot and then
come to Putnam and join the
buying throng
Dollar Day comes only a few
times a year. See that you get
your share Of the splendid bar
gains that are offered on all
sides.

WOODSTOCK MAN
AT EGYPTIAN TOMB
Albert NJ. Lythgoe of Metro
pelitan Museum Is Among
First to See Sarcophagus
Enters With Howard Carter and Lord
Caravan

Probably no discovery in the course
Of modern history has created so
much interest throughout the entire
world rs that Of the tomb Of
the Pharaoh Tutankhamen in the Val
ley Of the Kings outside Of Cairo.
Egypt, and during the past week the
discovery has raised an especial local
interest in the fact that at the
opening Of the actual sarcophagus a
man weli-known to Windham County
was among the first five to enter with
IN the room which for nearly two
thousand wears had not known the
sound Of Q human football. This man
was Albert NJ. Lythgoe, director of
the Egyptian expedition of the Metro
politan Museum of Art. Mr.. Lythgoe
is a son-in-law of Mrs. Rufus b. Rich
ardson of Woodstock and the late DR.
Richardson who was for many years
the well beloved head of the Ameri-
can Academy at Athens and one of
the best known of all American
archaeologists.
Mr.. Lythgoe, after being held in
the United States during the war,
returned 10 Egypt with Mrs. Lythgoe
last Fall. arriving shortly after the
astonishing discovery of the tomb OF
Tutankhamen was made by Howard
Carter and Lord Caravan. Before
leaving England for Egypt, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lythgoe dined in London with
Lord Caravan and Lady Evelyn Car
navan and heard from them the story
of the discovery of the great tomb.
Enters Kings Tomb
As il IS now history. Immediately
after the opening TO the tomb was
found and the great antechamber or
funeral chapel was entered, 1t was
discovered that beyond this first cham
Der lay another room. But for several
months. due to the necessity for max
ing arrangements for the proper hous-
ing and transportation of the vast
amount Of treasure taken out OF the
anteroom, the further room, when
was supposed 10 contain the actual
body of the dead Pharaoh, was left
untouched. The date for the open
ing Of this room was fixed for last
Sunday and the party selected to
make the first entrance was most
carefully chosen. This party was com
posed of Lord Caravan, to whose
private expedition goes the credit for
the great discovery, and Howard Car
ter, the American archaeologist, who
made the actual discovery. Mr.. Lyth-
zoe, one or two more high officials
