Mongolia Yields Evidence
OF Fabulous Civilization

MOSCOW, USSR.-The far-away
reaches Of Mongolia have yielded
up evidence of a fabulous civiliza-
ton which flourished there 1000
years ago, a Leningrad professor
said.
S. l. Rudenko, writing in the
newspaper Evening Moscow. de-
scribes a natural "super-refriger-
ator" containing the mummified
bodies Of a tattooed man and a
girl musician.
The discovery was made deep in
the isolated Altai mountains of
Outer Mongolia, where other ex-
cellently preserved mummies yer
found in 1947.
Rudenko said the tattooed man
must have been a noble or a chief.
The tattooing covers the entire
body and is "astonishingly fine
artistic work. consisting mostly of
pictures of animals.
The woman, said Rudenko.
must have been a good musician,
for she had fine, long, thin fingers
and many musical Instruments"
Other discoveries in the tomb of
petrified logs-which because of
the extreme cold and its construc-
ton turned into a natural icebox
Included a gilded chariot, leather
carpets, diadems of wood covered
with thin gold; round bronze mir
rors; exquisite tables and jewelry
and partly dyed furs.
Thousands of articles found
there" said Rudenko, give a
clear picture of the life and Gus
toms of an ancient tribe that
lived in the Altai region more
than 1000 years ago. Judging
from many articles discovered,
such as the skins of leopards and
cheetahs, it can be guessed that the
tribe traded with distant countries.

However, Charles P. Griffin w.

Of the word. No, indeed. He's

Charles, a blue-eyed. one-year-old

management in the university's
school Of home economics. Mrs.
Griffin brought him here when
she arrived to take up her teaching
duties last fall, and installed him
in the home management house
on the campus.
Since then girl students in the
course have shared with Mrs. Grit

Says Mrs. Griffin:
MY son has made a great deal
Of progress and very definitely is
not experimental on. despite the
fact he is Delaware's first home
management baby"
The students take charge of
Charles for a week at a time in
rotation. Their first week at the
home management house is spent
helping Mrs. Griffin care for the
child. It's really a week of allowing
Charles to familiarize himself with
the new students.

The girls plan their hours so that

put him to bed. Some of them-on
their W initiative-make some Of
the child's smaller things like
argyle socks and mittens.

JOE DI MAGGIO'S HEEL

Although we're in the business of gathering ana

about we can understand the irritation that Joe
DiMaggo feels when he is bounded by reporters ana
photographers at time when the only thing on the
Yankee sugger's mind is trying to get hlmse1 IN
shape to play baseball again. However, Joe ought
to realize that when the time comes that the puphc
isn't interested any more in reading about the cono-
ton of his famous heel he will be finished as a
baseball player and he go back to running res
taurant Despite the mental strain he is under now
he should realize that continued good public relations
are almost important to him as getting Ills heei
cured.
Some public figures smart enough to unoer-
stand that their success and prominence Is largely
dependent on good relations with the press ana some
never seem to quite know how to handle themselves

col, a substance similar to purified
anti-freeze for automobiles, has nc
nutritional value.

names "Sta-Soft" and "MYRJ-45.'
