MONUMENTS OF EGYPT

A MoNG the oldest monuments.
"A and certainly the most as.
tonishing and impressive in the
world, are the Pyramids. In all
there are some seventy pyramids,
small and large in the vicinity of
the Nile. They were all intended
for the kings who had them
built.
In the Gizeh group, which are
along the road that leads into
the open desert, is the Great
Pyramid (Cheops), the largest OF
the three, which consists of no
less than 100000 blocks of stone
averaging two and a half tons in
weight. Originally it is thought
to have been 481 feet. hut. is
now Ash feet in height and com.

According to Herodotus, the
stones were brought across the
Nile; 1000 men worked at a
time, and it took twenty years to
erect the pyramid. The two other
pyramids of Gizeh are but slightly
less in dimension than the Great
Pyramid.
The age Of the Great Sphinx is
not known. It was hewn out of
solid rock in the shape OF a re-
cumbent lion with the head of a
king. and excavators have round
a flight OF steps inside leading to
a temple. The rulers of Egypt

HER GAME FIGHT
By Garrett P. Serviss.

MRS. NJ. G. MITCHELL, of the
1VA State of Washington, single
handed and indomitabls, is con.
Quoting a most romantic fight for
the name of the glorious Mount
Tacoma. the chief gem in the
circlet of great natural wonders
adorning that picturesque State.
For years she has carried on the
contest, in spite of the most dis
couraging circumstances, and in
face of the obstinate opposition of
a United States Government bu-
reau which chooses to look upon
its opinions and decisions as for.
ever unassailable and irrevocable.
Undismayed by the indifference,
and in some cases the apparent
desertion, of her fellow citizens of
the city of Tacoma, she has taken
the whole burden on her own
shoulders with the resolution to
carry on as long as her strength
and means endure. BY letters in.
Vulnerable to individuals and to
newspapers, by appeals to pa
triotic sentiment, to the State
legislature and to Congress. by
arguments backed with accumu-
lated records, by the production
of most interesting historic and
traditional evidence, by keen and
pointed replies to her opponents,
by cutting rebukes to those whom
she regards as having betrayed
the cause and by unwearied labors
of every kind, she continues the
struggle, burning encouragement
as fuel and making every item
Of encouragement shine like a
new sun in the armament of her
unending endeavor.

Justice and Americanism' seemed

right. then. We'll admit it. So
here's the plan.
You want money-so we'll give
you all we can spare. You want
to spend that money yourself.
Wen let you do that. But re-
member-FROM THIS DAY ON
YOU MUST CARRY THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
SPENDING OF THAT MONEY.
IF you're going to be your own
boss YOU must do a 100 per cent
job. There's to be no borrowing
from mother-no asking for help.
IL you make bad buy YOU
must abide by 1t. If the fash
ionable clothes you prefer wear
out sooner than our more prac-
teal ones have done. you must
do the mending. It's UP to you,
girl"
That's the plan the Smiths
tried. It was more than sensi.
BILE budgetins of expenses-as q
matter of fact, 1t cost them nc
more than they were already
spending. But it was a subtle
and powerful appeal to Betty's
pride AND 1T WORKED. When
that money became Retty's money
she took an interest in it she
had never taken before and she
was immeasurably more cautious
in spending it. She made some
blunders at first, and kid like,
tried to WEIGH on her bargain
and borrow a little extra from
mother. But Mrs. Smith stuck
by her guns and Betty wore her
faded silks and trashy shoes
through to the bitter end. And
she knew better next time.
That scheme saved one family's
happiness.
How about trying 1t?

Teams this WEEK
T0bin's Grew Starts Strenuous
Campaign Tomorrow Night

The Corbin Red sox baseball
team. starting tomorrow. will enter
on one Of the most strenuous weeks
1t has experienced In the past few
years. when it plays three games
against strong opposing teams. Two
Of the game will be played out Of
town while the third game will be
staged on Sunday afternoon at
Willow Brook park in this city.
Tomorrow afternoon the team Is

local players will meet at the corner
Of Church and Main streets pre-
pared to leave at 4:S0 o'clock sharp.

combination this year and the back
ers OF 1t are confident that the local
nine will be on the losing end. Nam
ager Tobin will use his best lineup
in an effort to start the siege off
right.
Saturday afternoon. the sox will
go to Middletown to meet the team
composed OF the employees OF the
state hospital there. This Is an an
nual game and Manager Tobin's

meet the Walllingford Lenox In a

Manager Tobin stated today that
some new face will be seen in his
lineup on Sunday. He was not pre-

be but he feels that before Saturday
he will close with the players he
is seeking and will be ready to an
nounce by then just who they are.

BY SHEER BATTING POWER
Home Runs by Ruth and Gehrig Help Hugmen in Vic
Pittsburgh Pirates Keep up Giant Killing

Chicago Trims Brooklyn-Reds Down Phillies-
Red Sox Beat Tigers Athletics and Braves Win.

BY the Associated Press
Battle flags Of the Pittsburgh
Pirates and New York Yankees still
are flying at the top of the major
leagues despite the efforts OF IA
other clubs to lower them.
All the home run power in the
bats Of Ruth and Gehrig was need
ed by the Yankees yesterday to re-
pulse the charging White Sox, but
the league leaders managed to turn
back their rivals by count Of 4
to /.
Yankee hits off the pitching of AL
phonse Thomas numbered only six,
one less than the White Sox gather
ed in from the slants of Waite Hoyt,
but the Yankee hits were long ones
that counted runs. Ruth made his
sth home run, Gehrig his 14th
and Pat Collins added another
while Clancy OF the White SoX
cracked out one for the visitors only
tally.
In the four times they have met,
the Yankees now have won three
games from the White sox. The
present series which opened with
the Yank victory has three more
games to run.
Opening their series against the
Giants. the National leaders were as
successful as the Yanks. Despite
Two New York homers the Pirates
kept up the Giant-killins streak they
started at the Polo Grounds last
month, getting Is hits off the notori-
ously poor New York pitching and
winning 9 to 6.
Chicago's to victory over the
Brooklyn Dodgers meanwhile sent
the Cubs to third place above the
Giants and only few points below
the Cardinals.

ers won their games. jake Mays
seven hits pitching gave the Cincin-
natl Reds a to ] start on their
series with the Phillies. while the
Red sox Just survived Tiger rally
in the ninth and held the long end
of a 6-5 count.
As Connie Mack's revised lineup
won a hitting match from the
Browns, II to 9. a bit Of added
drama appeared in a fist fight be-
tween Pitcher CASTOR Of the Browns
and q spectator who was riding
him as CASTOR walked from the field

The Stanley Works team had very
little trouble disposing of the Russ
wins as they slammed the ball to

II runs to four for the Russwins.
The Workers collected II safe bin
giles and each one counted in the
run column. johnson and Liberti
held the Russwins to five scattered
bingles,
1t was In the early innings that
the Stanley Works got their eye on
the ball and collected a neat lead.
However, the Russwins played hard
and kept after them all the time -
up to the sixth they made things
interesting. After that the winners
piled up a safe lead.
The Workers In their initial turn
at bat scored three runs. Snyder
doubled to be followed by singles by
Green and Parsons. A long double
across the plate. Again in the sec
ond the Workers batted around and
five runs were scored on five hits,
one a triple by Schroeder. Luke then
entered the box and held the Work.
ers safe for three innings. Then
the Workers again started to hit and
they left little doubt as to the win
ner In the sixth. seventh and eighth
they scored nine more runs.
The Russwins showed their strong
est threat in the early frames and
kept close to the Workers, but the
pace was too hot for them. In the
first, Blanchard got on and went to
second when Green's throw was wide
Of first base. Schneider sent a long
single to right and Blanchard scored.
Two more runs came across the
plate in the third when Morelli
passed ball and rode home on Blan-
chards single to right. Al went to
second and third without much
trouble and finished the trip by
stealing home. A walk to Blanchard
and a long double by Scheidler pl :
duced the final score for the Russ
