GET LITTLE GLIMPSE UNDER 7UT'S SHRINE Carter and His Aides Ex- perience Trouble in Rais-
 ing Heavy Lid
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Luxor. Egypt. Dec. 22.--The first of the three sections of which the heavy curved roof of the canopy in Tutenkhamun's mortuary chamber is composed was raised something over three feet by Howard Carter and his assistants today, They labored four hours. but were unable in that time to detach the section. The lifting of the lid is proving a most formidable business, owing to the care with which it must be handled and to the fact that it is much heavier than was anticipated.
 The work of raising it is done by wedges, which Mir. Carter taps into position with mallet immediately under the lid. The raising of the first section has made it possible to see from above the great linen pail, blackened with age, that covers the second shrine immediately within the canopy or outer shrine,
 Chemists were busy today in the laboratory applying restorative treat ment to some of the larger articles of furniture removed last year from the ante-chamber of the tomb. These include the so-called hathor or cow headed couch. inlaid with ivory and ebony tHathor was the Egyptian goddess of love, to whom the COW was sacred1; a bed,. one of the cere- monial chairs and part of the chariot harness. The gliding and colors are coming ID we'll under the treatment, and Tntenkhamuns cartouche has been found on all the pieces.
 Chicago, Dec. 22.--Dr James Henry Breasted, director Of the Oriental in- stitute at the University of Chicago, will leave the latter part of next week for New York to sail about the first of the year for Luxor. Egypt to be present at the opening Of the sar- cophagus Of King Tutankhamen. He said today that he had been invited by Howard Carter to be present when the kings remains are disclosed, which is expected to be about Janu- ary Is.
 Dr. Breasted attended the opening of the tomb. He said that Cambridge history had accepted his spelling of as most closely con- forming to the context of historical data.

Water Pressure Too Low For Some Sec tions, Department Un- dermanned, Equip ment Not Up To Re- quirements.
Building Regulations Below Standard--Large Part of Mercantile District Open to Risk of High Loss.

In report to the National Board Fire Underwriters, made public to. day, Engineers A. F. Ballou, G. l..
 Swan and Allen Roberts who made a survey of New Britain conditions last
 July, point out numerous alleged de- fleets in the fire fighting system here and make many important recom- mendations
 Salient features in the reporti n- clude the following findings of the engineers:
 Methods of appointment to ths New Britain fire department are un- satisfactory, opening the way for political preference; the water pres- sure here is too low to effectually fight fires in some sections of the city; the department is undermanned and equipment in some respects de- ficient; the fire department is fairly competent, but weak in engine capa- city; the fire alarm system has unre- liable features; building laws are de- cidedly deficient and structural condi- tions poor; explosive and inflammabls laws are meagre and inadequate a poorly enforced, and inadequate be- cause of garage conditions and the burning of rubbish; old wiring in houses and buildings is in poor con- ditions; n considerable part of the mercantile district is subject to se- rious fires. and practically the entire district is in poor condition from fire prevention standpoint

district is in poor condition from a fire prevention standpoint.
 3i Recommendation
 Among the 3f recoMmendation made for improvements thase uuder- lined as most urgent includ@ .Exten. sion Of the water distribution sys- i tenn; establishment of at ieast two new engine companies with 700 gall lon bumpers, one in the vicinity of Stanley and Allen streets and one near West Main and Jerome streets: purchase Of A new system for receiv- 1 ing and transmitting alarms Of fire; inauguration Of a new and strict building code; restrictions on the handling of explosive and infam- mable materials, and prohibition of rubbish burning within the city l limits.
 i The report comments fayorably upon the organization Of the water department and its records with the exception of those for consumption oe water. Treasures are found 10 be too low for effective hydrant hose streams. Sufficient protection was ! found in the manufacturing districts, | residential districts. while the north- ern section could be properly served cnly by use or the high pressure r. servor system, the report says Valves and hydrants are found to be well spaced,
 Since the survey of 1911. a ground water supply has been perfected which permits a larger use of the supply line from Whigville and safe guards against undue depletion of storage in Shuttle Meadow reservoir. Improvements contemplated for sup- ply and distribution will. when con- pleted. deliver the supplies in a de- pendable manner and improve fire protection in all parts of the city, the report predicts.
 Stlertiou of Tirtmen Criticized.

The dspart- ment is found to be under mainly satisfactory supervision commanded by competent and experienced chief officers. The methods of appoint. ment and promotion are unsatisfac- tory but the tenure Of office is pro- tected other findings pointed out ia the report are:
 "Eetirement conditions mainly adequate. Manning slightly deficient. Engine capacity inadequate. Chemi- cal service adequate Ladder service slightly dehcient Apparatus in good condition.

PLANS STATIONS
FOR BRAKE TESTS
Maryland Officials Proposal
for Ten Roads Leading
Out of Baltimore.

BALTIMORE. September 15.--Au-
eomobile brake-testing stations are
TO be established by John N. Maekall,
chairman of the state roads commits
sion, on ten of the main roads leading
into the city Mr. Mackall decided
to establish the stations after n con-
ference with Paul t. Stricken. dirsc-
tor of the Baltimore safety council.
Mr.. Stricken pointed out the grow
ing number of automobile accidents
resulting from defective brakes. He
told Mr.. Mackall he felt confident that
tt the average motorist had an oppor-
tunity to test his brakes he would be
glad to avail himself of 1t. Mr..
Mackalll agreed and pormised Mr..
Stricken he would have the stations
within a week
The plan is to erect large signs on
the roads 500 feet ahead of the sta
tionss announcing that there is a
brake testing station ahead: that mo-
torists are requested to approach it
at a speed of twenty miles an hour,
apply their brakes and endeavor to
bring their cars to q standstill with
II the lines marking the station.
These lines will be broad white
bands across the road, thirty-seven
feet apart Failure to bring the
car to a standstill within the lines
will indicate that the brakes are not
functioning properly, that they are
dangerous particularly where traffic
IS heavy, and that they ought TO be
tightened up or refined Immediately.
Mr.. Mackall said he would have
men on duty at each station TO make
4 check of the number of motorists
who test their brakes, and that these
will be reported
The state roads commission" Mr..
Mackall said, '1s glad to afford this
facility to the motorists of the state,
and L am confident they will take ad-
vantage OF it. No man wants to
drive a car with defective brakes, for
II may result in his own death or in
killing some one else.
Might Have Avoided Accidents.
"A large number of accidents that
have occurred in the last few months
could have been avoided If the brake
on the cars had been In good shape.
We will pick the locations for the
stations Wednesday or Thursday. We
VIII determine what is to go on the
signs and the order will be given for
them by the end of the week. We
expect to have the stations in opera
ton about the middle of next week.
