Scholars differ in their opinion as
to It's exact age. but it certainly is

There are about 100000 blocks

Saturday Roundup

Colorado Springs: Are there two
ways of saying the word AR
MADA?-H. M.
Answer-All of nine dictionaries
consulted list abr MAY duh as first
choice. The second choice of three
Is: ahr-MAH- duh.
Wilmington: Why do we sound an
r" in COLONEL?-Mrs. K. N.
Answer-The pronunciation 'KER-
nj" is a corruption of the Spanish
form coronel, which once was cur
rent. Later the French spelling
colonel" was adopted, and for
awhile the pronunciation "KULL-
nj" was IN vogue. But the pro-
nunciation soon reverted to "KER-
nj" although the spelling with 81"
was retained. English is like that.
Columbus: When ABSENT is used
as q verb, as, IF members absent
themselves -" how is it pro-
nounced?-W. G. H.
Answer-The second syllable is
accented, as, absent.
Charlotte: What Is DIREC-
TIVE?-Mrs. M.
Answer-In military use, direc-
tive is any general order outlining
the procedure of an operation.
North Island: In the Army, the
word AERIAL is always pronounced
"AIR-ee-ul." Why does the radio
pronounce the word with four
syllables?-C. B. M.
Answer-The pronunciation "ay-
EAR-i-ul'' is the first choice of all
dictionaries. However, "AIR-ee-ul"
does prevail in America, especially in
military and radio parlance.

measure about three feet in height.
The average block contains about 80
cubic feet of stone.
The Great Pyramid can be called
a tomb because 1t was built to hold
the body of an ancient Egyptian
King. Ancient Greek travellers spoke
of that King as "Cheops," and his
tomb has been called the pyramid
OF Cheops." 1t has been learned,
however. that the Egyptians called
him "Khufu." and 1t Is best to speak
OF him by that name.
To reach the burial chamber of
King Khufu, climbed a long, high
stairway. About half the way, the
passage was less than four feet high,
and I had to stoop over a great
deal so as not to strike my head.
The Kings chamber is "a and a
half feet long and II feet wide.
The ceiling is 10 feet above the
floor. Inside the chamber I saw
heavy stone coffin. 1t is believed
that the mummy of the King lay in
that coffin for many centuries.
No one knows where Khufu's
mummy is at the present time.
Probably it was taken out by rob-
bers who entered the pyramid to
steal what treasure they might
find. They had no good reason to
take away the mummy unless it
was in a valuable case.
In Cairo I saw the golden case
OF the mummy of King Tut, and
it may be that Khufu also was
encased in solid gold. In their
haste, the robbers probably did not
take time to remove the mummy
from its case before running out
of the pyramid.

The fact that white workers have absolutely nothing

happy to welcome employment cooperation with Negro
workers. But whether not white workers have the
the disposition to that their problems and

really not very important insofar employment in

understand the valuable lesson of such cooperation
