historically that may be, but the way the public has
taken it.
Never has the reading public paid one-tenth as
much attention to any archaeological discovery it has
paid to this Archaeology has always been regard

ject something for scholars rather than for the

ly. Writers and editors seemed to think the stuff
worth while, but were not the public would think
so.
To their surprise, they found the public "eatng it
alive. People read everything they could find about
Tut and his tomb and his treasures and his period,
and demanded more. Curiosity is not yet stated. In
fact to be in for regular Tut period. There
is old Egyptian fashions as we'll as Egyptian

How account for it? The American people have
discovered history. The big awoke their historical

GIRL RESER YES
HOLD MEET In G
AT HIGH SCHOOL
200 Participate in First
Conference in This
County

Saturday was history making
day for the Imperial Valley Girl
Reserves. The first conference to
be held in Imperial Valley was held
at the high school of Ell Centre. 1t
is estimated that 200 girls and adj
visors were in attendance, at the
conference.
The meeting was called to order
by Mrs. r. l.. Glasby of Calexico,
county president of the Y. w. c. A.
Mrs. j. F.. Steintorf Of CaleXico was
appointed secretary.
AS the piano gave the chord of
our national anthem the girls rose
in a body, mingling their voices
with an intensity Of purpose that
thrilled all who listened.
Miss Anna Hurd of Los Angeles,
chief advisor of Los Angeles City
Girl Reserves, then reviewed the I'M
perial Valley girls in some of their
work. They gave their code and re-
cited their purpose in business like
way, showing the good training they
have received from their advisors.
Miss Hurd had them give an ex-
hibition of songs, teaching them the
new state song. At the close of the
singing she lined them up for q
grand march and led them off into
all kinds Of fancy figures. 1t was
beautiful sight to see nearly 200
girls moving as one body with
grace and ease as they demonstrated
one phase of the Reserve work.
Lunch Served
The Ell Centre Girl Reserves set
the tables in their domestic science
room and served coffee and choco-
late to their many guests during the
noon hour. Instead of toasts the
girls put all their "pep' into
"yells'' suited to the occasion.
They remembered every person, no
one was left out of the fun.
The afternoon session was opened
with "stunts" by Girl Reserves
from the various towns. They were
clever and showed poise and ability
to rise to an occasion.

Myer and Miss Martha Klindt, the

its kind, stood in tract of pine timber purchased for

The Fox sneaked off to the store
and bought jug a molasses. Then
he spilled some outside of his den,
making a long, sweet, sticky trail
or line of molasses from the outside
of his den up inside-the molasses
leading to the deep, dark, dismal
part of the cave where the Fox hid

"Uncle Wiggily will come along,

Fox, as he hid himself in his den.
He will see the molasses outside
and will follow it up inside, for he
will think a barrel Of molasscs has

"Then when he follows the mo-

Uncle Wiggily hoped on and soon
