Howard Carter for the tomb of Tut
Ank-Ahmen somewhere in Egypt
and how after Lord Carnoyan had
agreed to finance the expedition on
November %. 1922 he knocked on the
door of Pharoah's tomb. Miss Vail
very charmingly told of the findings
of the tomb, and of the preparations
which were made for The opening of
the tomb in which Tut-Ank-Ahmen
lay, but Lord Carnoryan decided to
wait. "One thing that Carter failed
to do was to remove the guards, whom
it was said would place a curse on
the persons who was disturbing their
master. Miss Walls query was, had
this curse of the mumfied guards after
5000 years caused the death OF Lord
Carnorvan. and would Carter, who is
very i'll survive the curse. After
brief tribute 10 Carter for what he
had revealed of ancient history, Miss
Vail left her listeners with the wish
that his work so we'll begun might
be accomplished.

A DEATH BLOW TO
THE. MARION STAR
Men on Harding's Newspaper Recall
Intimate Side of Life. The "Boys"
Are Greatly Grieved.

MARION, O.-At the Marion
Star news of the presidents death
was received with sorrow, for it was
here that Mr.. Harding spent the best
years of his life in the profession he
most loved Most of the employees OF
the Star had been with him since
early in his newspaper career.
The boys" those who had worked
with Mr.. Harding at the type case, or
helped him fashion editorials or per-
haps collect bad account, for there
wasn't an activity in the paper that he
did not take part in, recounted today
as they sat with sorrowful faces, in
true newspaper fashion, the milestones
in the life of their beloved chief.
They told how he earned his first
dollar; of how he made known his
esteem and love for the associates
who helped him make" the Star, and
made known many intimate things
which showed the character of the
late president.
George E. Mccormick, who, e
years ago entered the Star organiza-
ton as reporter and today fills the
managing editors chair, said:
"The world may never come to a
full understanding and appreciation
OF Mr.. Harding as man. Only those
who enjoyed the intimacy of his as
ISOLATION for years can do that"

BUSINESS CENTER
ON HISTORIC SPOT
CHICAGO ERECTS ERN
SKYSCRAPERS ABOUT FIRST
WHITE MANS LANDING.

CHICAGO.-Chicago in a space of
less than three years has broken the
old confines of the elevated loop"
and is fast creating a new business
center about the very spot where the
first white man landed where the
first white mans home was built, and
where the first American fort stood
The shift was made possible by the
completion three years ago this sum-
mer of the boulevard link bridge, a
double-deck structure which opened
Michigan avenue across the Chicago
river
The boulevard link cost $16,000,000
amount is being invested in Office
buildings either completed, under con-
struction or projected along its ap-
proaches.
History Building on Fort Site.
On the site of old Fort Dearborn,
whose garrison was annihilated by
Indians on August IS, 1872, 21-story
building is being completed by the
London Guarantee and Accident Co.
Across the river the 29-story Wrig-
ley building shares honors with the
new Methodist Temple as the tallest
building in Chicago. The Wrigley
building cost more than $5,000000 to
build.
Adjoining the original Wrigley
building Mr.. Wrigley is erecting a 10
story annex at a cost of $4,000,000,
and across the street from the annex
the Chicago Tribune has broken
ground for its monumental tower,
which is to cost $8000,000.
Soap Factory at Joliet's Landing.
Opposite the main Wrigley build
ing, and between the Tribune location
and the river, a soap factory occupies
one of the most valuable sites in Chi
cago, and when the wind is in the
right direction furnishes a strong re-
minder that the old factory, ware
house and dock district which former
ly clustered about the river mouth has
not all disappeared
The soap factory's site, by the way,
is Chicago's most historic plot of land
1t was here that Joliet, Marquette, La
Sale and Tonty first landed on Hi
nois soil in the years 1873 to 1885.
On the same spot the first white
mans home was built and the first
white child born. The log cabin was
originally erected in 1879 by Jean
Baptiste Point de Sable, Santo Do
mingo negro, and was occupied from
1896 to 1904 by the Frenchman lie
mail, who sold it to John Kenzie,
Chicago's first civilian" and father
of the first white child. Kinzie fed
before the Fort Dearborn massacre,
but returned in 1916 and continued to
occupy his cabin until his death in
1928.

Better Roads in 1923
To Absorb $288,0O0,0 900
Expected to Add Hundreds of Miles
To System Throughout Country.

The 1923 road construction season
is expected to add many hundreds of
miles to the country's system of i'm
proved highways. Figures compiled by
the bureau OF good roads of the de
partment of agriculture from II scat
tered states show they will have avail
able $288,000,000 for this purpose,
compared to $273,000,000 spent by
them last year. On federal aid work,
which constitutes something like one
half the total mileage, there was un-
der construction March 81 work esti-
mated to cost $258,000,000, as COM
pared with $233,000,000 on the same
date a year ago.
The general outlook is regarded as
considerably better than a year ago,
when the railroad and coal strikes
were disturbing factors. The designa-
ton OF federal aid highways is now
completed in 80 states, and is almost
complete in the Others Thirty states
