STOCKHOLM - TAXA Makan. the
legendary city which has lain buried
under the desert sands Of Eastern
Turkestan for 900 years or more, and
has never been reached by explorers,
despite countless attempts. is expected
to give UP its secrets TO the party LED
by Sven Hedin. the Swedish explorer
and archeologist some time In the
near future.
According to tradition, the Takla-
Makan desert, in the center of which
the ancient city is reputed to lie, is
one of the most treacherous IN the
world for travellers because of the great
variations in temperature and terrific
sandstorms which have trapped nu-
merous caravans, and the Hedin party
is prepared to meet with many obsta-
cies in its Journey. A large number
IF camels, several motor cars and
large staff of scientists and experienced
ualavan leaders are being taken on the
trip. and the explorers may take sew
eral months if the city is actually
found to exist
The last attempt by Hedin to reach
the tabled city was undertaken in 1898
and ended in disaster. Starting from
Merket on the southern edge of the
desert with four men and eight camels,
he headed for the River Khoten- daria,
which was reported TO be four days
travel north across the desert. Six
teen days later he crawled on his hands
and knees, dying from thirst, down into
the bed of the river, which was found
to be dry, and he was only saved from
death by pool of brackish water which
had been left from the rainy season.
TWO of his men and all eight camels
died of thirst. and he saved the lives
Of the others by walking back across
the desert in bare feet with his boots
filed with water.
In his book My Life as an Ex-
plorer' Hedin describes the Journey
across Takla-Makan as the most diff
cult in 40 years of Asiatic travel. and
his present trip is regarded with anxiety
By his family and associates in Sweden
One of the strange legends surround
ing the buried city is to the effect thai
gold ingots and Jumps of silver lay ex.
posed among the ruins, protected
against marauderS and explorers by
mysterious power. If a caravan loads
its camels with gold, the story goes. il
,:gili lose its way in the sands OF the
desert and can be saved only by throw
Ing away its precious burden.

Few pieces of legislation in many
years have met with so universal ap-
proval as that providing home OF its
own for the United States Supreme
Court fitting its dignity as one of the
three great branches of Government.
This new Temple of Justice will face
the Capitol from the east and be
companion building for the Library of
Congress- with which it will harmonic

1t is designed to be a memorial to
William Howard Taft, the only man in
American history to have the distlnc-
ton of having been at the head of two
of the three great branches OF our
Government and who has served the
Nation in a wider range Of important
positions than any other man-as So

Capitol was burned by the British in
1914. Although in size it is the smallest
of the three coordinate branches of
the Government. it has the distinction
of being a creation unique among gov
ernmental activities. It occupies what
was formerly the Senate chamber,
where the Nations greatest statesmen
Webster. Clay, Calhoun and others
made some Of their most famous
speeches.
The quarters assigned to the law
library are not adequate. nor are the
other rooms assigned to the clerical
force sufficient for the services required.
II has long been intended that the
Supreme Court should eventually have
a building of its own, and the site
now being purchased at cost OF

aside for such use in the plan for the
