New Daley Block
Nears Completion

In a single Summer Rawlins has
witnessed the early beginnings,
slow or rapid progress step by step
of the two most important COM
mercial buildings erected here dur
ing the last decade. These build
ings are the new Daley Block on
Fifth street, and the new First Ma
tional Bank building on Buffalo be-
tween Fourth and Fifth. The Daley
block is virtually ready for &C.
cupancy, and it is with this building
that this article is concerned.
So often persons look upon a
business block as merely a thing Of
materials. But into any such pro-
ject there goes a great deal Of fore
thought, courage, and faith in the
community that does not show upon
the record. There is no doubt but
what the history Of the Daley Block
goes back much farther than May
Is, 1928, when bids were let on the
actual construction.
Less than half a year ago a fence
appeared across the sidewalk. bar
ring passage on the West side OF
Fifth street between Cedar and
Buffalo streets, and the citizens of
Rawlins patiently accepted the tenn
porary annoyance in their firm hope
of a greater Rawlins brought a lit
tie nearer by the building about to
be. Soon teams appeared, and the
Daley building became a hole in
the ground. There were short waits
during which Alfred Wickstrom,
the general contractor awarded the
job. stormed and the general public
looked mildly on. But the waits
inevitable apparently in the cree
ton Of all important buildings,
were not long, and walls arose,
front and roof grew into being un-
til the building became what 1t is
today. There is a business like
Keeling o the new structure, yet
much of beauty in that the building
fits In so thoroughly with it's pur-
pose: that OF providing store and
office space for busy Rawlins mer-
chants and professional men.

building is two stories high and

Service That
Really Serves

Service is giving, not receiv-
ing. When one person helps
another, it's service. That help
may be personal or material or
both.
That service which has made
this Company a factor in the
great field of providing the
public with its personal needs
is twofold-
1t serves with helpfulness
and with courtesy, but chiefly,
it serves SO that you can save
money.
Each of our ATS Sores is a
service center.

How This Stores
Goods are Selected

The Manager of this Store
selects and orders all his goods
the same as is done by all Man
ayers of this Company.
While the Company main
tains one of the most efficient
merchandising departments in
existence, thus reaping all the
extensive benefits that are de-
rived from collective buying,
the final selection of goods for
a particular Store is made by
the Manager of that Store.
Thus, each Store presents
only such goods rs are required
in its own community. This Is
worth remembering.

Luxor. Egypt, Feb. 1I-Tutenk-
hamen. lord of all Egypt 5000 years
ago, died at an early age, experts
who viewed the Pharaoh's sacrophasus
believed tonight.
The mural decorations in the inner
chamber to which Lord CnrnavOn and
Howard Carter penetrated yesterday
were found upOn examination today
TO be unfinished. This leads to be-
lief that the tomb the king picked out
for himself was in the course OF
completion--which required many
years-when Tutenkhamen died pre-
maturely.
When an Egyptian ruler died his
followers believed he would need
many things in heaven, such as tables.
touches, food, clothing. oars with
which to row on the celestial waters

use of on earth.
Naturally the objects selected to go
along to the next world with Tutenk-
hamen were the finest procurable
5000 years ago. Their splendor is
unsurpassed many of the funeral
trappings defy duplication. The
artisans secrets are no longer known.
Belgian Queen There.
Magnificent jewels are among the
additional discoveries reported by
those who entered the inner chamber
this afternoon.
Tomorrow, with ceremony, the Off

formal entry to the shrine of the king
of 30 centuries ago. .
The queen of the Belgians. here

prominent in European and Ameri-
can society, will go out to the Valley
of the Kings for the occasion.
They will enter the inner room,
where he lies in the innermost of a
series of concentric boxes. just as he
was locked away by his followers
after an elaborate funeral ceremony,
IN re than 5000 years ago.
Tutenkhamen lies undisturbed by the
excavators. 1t may be some time
still before the mummy can be brought
out, for the priceless shrines that
cover the inner case muse be treated
with extreme care. The heat viii

Saved From Bandits.
The relief of the eXcayators at find
ing evidence that the sepulchre of the
ancient monarch had escaped viola
ton at the hands of Nile robbers who
pillaged the outer tomb is boundless.
The bolted doors and locks on the
concentric shrines gave evidence that
none had entered the final room that
holds the sarcophagus. Treasures of
inestimable value were added to the
store gathered by the excavators when
the funeral furniture and outfits
placed about the sarcophagus by the
Pharaoh's mourners were discovered.
The arrangements within the inner
tomb are such that the visitors, in
Guiding the queen Of Belgians, who

WHO Is HIS SLAYER?

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. IA mys.
terry woman, whose slender s'letto
ended the life of Earl Remington, avis-
tor and wealthy clubmsn, was being
sought tonight by police.
The "loYe trails" of the dead man
are being traced by police, who arc
convinced that hatred and jealousy
were responsible for the murder.
A special effort is being made TO
trace his whereabouts on the day of
the murder. he had planned to go to
his romantic Rincon ranch near Chino
that day, but teIephoned his EN-
ployes there that he would be unable
to make it.
His whereabouts bef-re he returned
at midnight, TO be accosted by his un-
known assailant, one of them a wom-
an, is the problem which the police are
trying to solve.
Who Were Women-Eriends:
Remington was known to be close
mouthed about his personal affairs.
He had women friends-but no one
knew just who they were. His wife,
Mrs. Virginia Remington, was too po-
lite to ask him, she admitted. although
she knew he was assOciating with
other women.
A few weeks before his death she
had taken steps looking to a divorce
and had consulted an attorney with
the intention, it is understood, Of max
ing charges Of infidelity.
Mrs. Remington is beautiful, So
ciety leader and charity worker noted
for her bizarre entertainments. Only
a few weeks ago she was the sensa-
ton of the bachelors ball. the most
brilliant event of the social season.
At another time she rented road
house and ran it for society card
games. The proceeds went to charity.
An autopsy performed today re-
vealed that Remington had received q
fatal wound from a charge of fine shot
fired from a gun shot at close range,
and had also been stabbed by stiletto
in the heart as he was staggering
from the wound.
The identity of the persons who con-
cealed themselves behind tree in the
yard until he drove home. then accOst-
e, him. ended his life and left with
out touching his jewelry or money is a
deep mystery.
Abandon Business Quarrel.
Police. tonight had practically dis
carded the theory that he might have
been killed following business quar-.
rel. He had business enemies and
business quarrels, but these are not
believed TO have been of sort to in
cite murder.
Police are still investigating one
man who was very bitter over the loss
of his money. for which he blamed
Remington. They are also inyestigat-
ing a rancher near Chino, with whom
Remington had a dispute over water
right, but neither of these theories are
being regarded as the correct ones by
the police. although no angle is being
overlooked.
Remington. it is known. was fire.
ouently seen in company with beau
fiful woman at his Rincon ranch,
Other women, too. were members OF
the gay weekend parties there. The
identity of this circle of friends is be-
ing investigated. for the police believe
that some one of the group knows the
motive for the murder-and probably
welded the fatal stiletto herself.
