approaching. the scientists can see
more clearly what the value Of the
discovery Of King Tut-ankh-amen's
tomb has been to the world.
General speaking. the excavation
has only provided much material
which better illustrates facts about
the lives and customs of the ancient
Egyptians that were already known.
1t is the historians who have proflted
most. Before the discovery they
knew the dates OF the dynasty Of the
reigns Of the separate members Of
the family. Their problem was that
the total years Of the various reigns
greatly exceeded dhe period which
could be assigned to the whole dy-
nasty. When King Tut-ankh-amen's
tomb was opened tho answer was
found in the fact that several menu
bers Of the family often reigned
simultaneously as co-regents.

The necessity for care in ham

BIOLOGISTS STUDY
MOUNTAINS BY AIR
Relate Adventures Over Rugged
Alaskan Ranges

Washington. Nov. . R-FlyinG
over rugged mountain peaks that
ordinarily require weeks of weary
travel by foot and pack train to sur
mount them, three American geolo-
gists have recently returned from
Alaska to relate how natures bar
riers to an uneNplored section OF
the Alaskan Mountain range were
broken down by seaplane flight.
With no prospects of smooth
landing fields after they should
reach their rugged inland objec-
tive, the American scientists of the
United States Geological Survey
who set out to map and study one
OF Alaska's blind spots were
forced to trust to d seaplane's abll-
ity to fly over jagged peaks until
some inland lake near their work
ing base was reached.
They took off from the harbor at
Anchorage and in an hour and 20
minutes the pilot set the plane
down on Chakathamna lake-a dis
lance inland from Anchorage that
requires three weeks by pack train
over treacherous country. He made
four trips from Anchorage to the
mountain base, carrying the three
scientists and 5000 pounds of sup
plies. The seaplane's flight made
possible 90 days Of exploration -
the fullest span under existing eli
matte conditions in Alaska.
