FOUR TOMBS, $500 YEARS OLD,
FOUND BURIED IN MUD OF NILE

CAIRO, Egypt, April II. U.P)-Four
tombs. buried under the mud of
the Nile for some $500 years and
unviolated by thieves. have been
discovered near the great pyramids
of Giza, Prof. Selin Hassan an
nounced today. A fifth tomb is
about to be uncovered.
They are in the vicinity of the
tombs in which the skeleton of an
Egyptian princess was found re-

are of the 4th dynasty which built
the three great pyramids.
Prof Hassan, jubilant over the
discovery, said he had not yet ex-

former discovery, they will greatly
enrich knowledge of Egyptian early
history.
One of the tombs is that of a son

More Men Needed in
Government Bureau,
Air Chief Complains

WASHINGTON. April II. WP)-
Reports of two commerce depart
ment bureaus that they uo not have
sufficient man power or equipment
TO meet safety requirements focus
ed attention today ON recent air ana
sea Investigations.
The reports were made to n SEN
ate appropriations subcommittee by
Eugene Vidal. youthful Tread of the
bureau of air commerce, and Joseph
B. Weaver, director of the bureau
of navigation.
Vidal's department has been in
vestigating recent airplane crashes,
some of which critics charged were
caused by failure of the depart
ment's air beaconS. Most recent
was the crash in which u persons
were killed near Uniontown. Pa.
The bureau of navigation has
been criticized for alleged ''negli-

ALL-ADJUSTABLE
SEATS FEATURE
DE SOTO AUTOS

With a view to increasing COM
fort, the 1886 Airflow De Soto cars
are equipped with new all-adjust-
able front seats.
Ordinarily, seats are adjustable
only forward or backward. Accord
ing to exhaustive tests made by
De Soto engineers to determine the
relation between seat design and
fatigue. comfortable sitting posture
is equally dependent on the height
and angle of the seat, Russell Haas,
El Centro dealer, pointed out
The new Airflow seats may be
raised or lowered as we'll as moved
forward or backward, to suit the
requirements of the individual
driver
The De Soto engineers report
that the angle Of the seat is an
important factor in assuring com
fort. Lack of support under the
knees of the driver, they say, in
duces fatigue. BY fitting the Air
flow seat back, the front of the
seat comes up snugly under the
knees of the long-legged driver.
His feet, free from the necessity
of supporting his lgs. may mani
pulate the foot pedals without
strain. At the same time the
back of the seat tilts backward
permitting the tall driver to relax
at a greater angle. increasing com
fort and reducing fatigue
Tilt Seat Forward
The short driver or the woman
who prefers to sit upright may
do so in comfort by fitting the
Airflow seat forward. This opera
tion lowers the front end of the
seat to facilitate the manipula-
ton of the foot pedals. The driver
no longer has to sit on the edge
Of the seat, or exert undue foot
pressure. The back of the sea:
also tits forward, providing sup
port even when the driver sits
bolt upright.
Comfort reduces fatigue. The
relation of fatigue to safety is
shown in the film, DE Soto's An

Morgue Attendants
Charged With Being
Drunk While on Duty

LOS ANGELES, April l6 UP
Charges that morgue attendants
were sometimes drunk while per-
forming their official duties kicked
up a political furore here today.
The Civil Service commission pre-
pared to decide whether a hearing
would be held TO examine the
charges. which were made by dis
charged attendant.
The public welfare and safety
committee OF the board of Supervis-
OrS demanded Il hearing. Officials
of women's clubs and civic organi-
cations were said TO favor such a
procedure in order TO get a clear
picture of conditions in the county
morgue.
The controversy started after
Coroner Frank A. Nance dismissed
Robert B. CreaSey for alleged drink
ing and improper conduct while on
duty. In appealing to the civil SER
vice for reinstatement, the attend
ant said he only joined in activities
that were prevalent" in the morgue.

Outlook for Truck
Price, Fair, Spotted

Truck crops intended for fresh
market consumption may be alb
scrbed by the trade in greater
volume this year at about the
same level of prices as 1885. This
is stated i'll 4 timely agricultural
outlook issued by the College OF
Agriculture OF The University OF
California.
The smaller-than-average supply
of old potatoes, combined with
increasing consumer income. in
dicates that the present level OF
potato prices generally will be
maintained, or possibly raised. in
the immediate future. Prices may
be strengthened from April to July
due to the smaller supply from
the southern states.
The green pea market was faced
with the Overwhelming increase of
100 per cent in Florida and Texas
production, and average California
prices are expected to remain about
the same as they were last year
Since 1929 the California acreage
of green peas has been more than
half the total United States acre
age

particularly favorable. or yields are
below normal there may be danger
OF excessive paintings of fall let

The outlook Tor early planting of
cantaloupeS, including Honey Ball.
Honey Dew, Casab3 and Persian,
appears to be promising. Prices
are likely to be higher than in 1885
barring bad weather. Here, again.
prices are likely TO induce an eX-
panded acreage in both Arizona
and California, which may produce
an excess volume.
1t IS likely that. due to expanded
acreage. watermelon prices will
decline further and there may be
dif iculty in marketing the entire
crop. A considerable number of
melons remained unharvested in
1885. all of them outside of Cali :
fornia. Average prices received by
all growers in the country declined
from Sl08 to a thousand in 1884
TO S97 in 1885.

POWER FIRMS
ATTACK DRAWS
SHARP ANSWER

An attack made by a privately
owned power company on the
Seattle municipal system in which
charges were made to the effect
that it Was "a costly adventure for
taxpayers: that il would take 36S
years for this plant TO become debt
free and that the bonded indebt-
dneSS OF the city. because of this
plant, was a great burden 10 the
people. was given a spirited an
Swer by those responsible for the
opration of the Seattle system.
AS reported in a bulletin answer
ing the attack il is shown that
bonds for the Seattle plant are 80
year bonds and are being paid off
as they come due. Therefore they
will not need 10 run for nearly 400
vars as charged. In this connec-
ton it is noted that in 1882 the
plant paid off, from previous sur
plus, an amount OF S2,l46.0 900 for
the redemption of bonds. This
surplus was gained on rates that
are lover than those asked by the
private corporation which brought
the charges.
Instead of being a costly ad-
venture" this Seattle system has
proven a great benefit TO the peo-
pie of that city and instead of be-
ing looked upon as a failure. plans
are under consideration TO enlarge
the system in order to serve an
number of custom
erS not only in the city but in the
neighboring territory as we'll. This
system has always lei the way in
ownership OF light and
power and has consistently proven
that such a program can be oper-
ated with great success and to the
