Discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb
of perfumes, which still retain their
scent, recalls the equally amazing
| find in 1905 of a jar of honey, still
liquid and still preserving its char
acteristic scent after $500 yearsi
This remarkable announcement
was made in a communication to
the National Geographic Society by
Baikie. The honey was found in the
tomb Of Yuaa and Thuaa, father and
mother of that Queen Tyi, whose in
fiuence played so great a part in
Akhenaten's religious reformation.
THE tomb was intact and the
objects it contained were as perfect
ly preserved as though they had
only been shut up a few weeks be-
fore" Mr.. Baikie wrote. "An OBJ
server described his sensations on
entering the place as being very
much like those of man who en-
ters a town house which has been
shut up for the summer.
"Armchairs stood about, beauti-
fully carved and decorated with
gold, the cushions on one of them
stuffed with down, and covered
that they might have heen sat upon
CIR tossed about without injury. Two
Leds of fine design decorated with
gold occupied another part of the
chamber, while Il light chariot in
perfect preservation stood in a
corner.

Rarely does the man who remains
calm in all emergencies lose an ar
gument to the one who is prone to
get excited.
The tale of the two apartment

a knock at the door and Mr.. Browns
servant appeared.

WILMINGTON STATE FAIR

Auto polo, the most sensational and
thrilling of Americas outdoor attrac-
tions will be one of the biggest fea-
lures each day at the Delaware State
Fair. In addition to the sensations,
auto polo is the costliest attraction
ever brought to Delaware. The State
Fair management determined to make
The 1928 Fair the greatest exhibit ever
witnessed in Delaware, and has left
no stone unturned to provide the high
est class features obtainable and ar
rangements have been completed with
A. c. Wilson, nationally known pro-
ducer of auto polo to bring his cele-
brated aggregation here. The auto polo
games will be played on the race
track in front of the grandstand every
afternoon of the Fair. Automobiles
stripped for action and carrying two
persons, one the driver and the other,
the mallet man will play the game Of
polo mounted in cars instead Of on
horses.
This big sensational act provides
amusing features with every thrilling
expectancy, and roars of laughter
from the spectators follow chills and
thrills in rapid succession, as the
stripped cars careen around the track
in tail spins and head-on collisions,
turning completely over and hurling
drivers and mallet men through the
air, side-swiping each other with
crash of broken wheels, accompanied
by the roar of open exhausts and the
bang of exploding tires. Auto polo is
declared by those who have witnessed
it, to provide more thrills in one min
ute than the ordinary act produces in
an hour, and it is believed that it will
prove the greatest drawing card ever
introduced here.
Among the many interesting fea-
lures of the woman's department at
the Fair will be sewing, crocheting
and knitting done by women over 20
years of age. The Judging for the
awards of prizes will be under the
scoring system in which workmanship
will count for so points, design 25,
cleanliness 10, and colors, Is. There
are nine classes in the competition
comprising displays of old-fashioned
sewing to include: Felled seam, over
seam, hem, tucks, and gathers done
on strips; plain handmade garment
(any kind; bedroom slippers knitted;
specimen Of cotton embroidery; plain
hemming on any article; handmade
sheet or pair of plain handmade pill
low cases; apron, any design; rag
