f1ummies Found at Saqqaga
Throw New Light on Egypt

The patchwork story of ancient
Egypt, gradually emerging through
dusty finds in tomb. temple and
pyramid. is richer by 10 more mum
mics, discovered in deep-under'
ground, rock-walled tombs at the
Saqqara cemetery of Egypt's old
capital, Memphis.
This burial ground by the long.
vanished fountainhead of early
Egyptian power already has
yielded a rich store of detail for the
historians, notes the National Geo.
graphic society. On the Nile about
Is miles south of Cairo, it saw the
beginning, in 1880, of epoch-making
searches into the secrets Of the
First and Second Dynasties Of
5000 years ago.
Archeologists' digs" at SAG.
CARA have revealed complex pat.
terms of royal and other burial
structures, significant inscriptions,
and thousands of personal articles
limiting at life during various periods
of Egyptian development. The re.
Gently explored tombs, buried near
the famous and far older Step
Pyramid, have been attributed by
the experts to the Twenty-Sixth
Dynasty, about 900 years before
Christ.
The tombs and their valuable
contents were turned UP in con
nection with the extensive pyramiC
project of the Egyptian antiquities
department. One Of the mummie'
has been identified as scribe il
the temple of the god Ptah. Anothei
is believed to have been his wife
whose wrappings contained COLDER
heart buried with her.

Paint Price
Small Part
OF Job Cost

The labor cost of painting usu-
ally is two or three times the cost
of the paint itself, says American
Builder, magazine of the building
industry. Because of this, a large
variation in the price of materials
changes the total cost of a paint
ing job by only a relatively small
percentage.
Durability, appearance, cost OF
repainting and similar factors Of
ten are much more important than
initial cost alone, the magazine
says. All of these qualities should
be considered in paint selection.
For use in homes, low-cost paint
is considered suitable only if fire.
quent redecoration is desired.
However, a durable paint should
be used as a printing coat to min
imize the expense of surface prep
aration for repainting, American
Builder explains.
If a paint cracks, scales or peels,
it must be scraped or burned of
before the surface can be re-
painted satisfactorily. A paint of
this kind is excessively expensive
no matter how little it costs at
first.
American Builder lists numer-
Gus specialized paints which are
available for specific uses. lnclud-
ed are fume-reSistant paints for
use where sulphurous gases are
present, fungicide paints to resist
mildew, and DDT paints as pro-
lection against insects.
A special rubber paint has been
developed for use on masonry,
concrete and metal. An all-pur-
pose varnish for both exteriors
and interiors is virtually immune
to ammonia, soap, mild aIkali,
ink, iodine and fruit stains.
A one-coat paint for exteriors
has been put on the market.
American Builder says this paint
is intended primarily for repaint-
ing and is not recommended for
application to new wood.

Maybe you just wear sneakers or

better part of the day? If you want
to get out of that routine. try fol-
lowing the advice of the foot ex-

ommending all-leather shoes for

out that the natural resiliency Of

Check Closely
On Structure
Of Old House

Before buying an old house,
make sure it is structurally sound.
The foundation, the roof and the
framing should be checked closely
to determine whether expensive
repairs would be necessary.
Settling of a foundation usually
can be detected by plaster cracks
in interior walls. Most founda-
tons will have settled slightly,
but this is not serious provided
the settling stopped after a few
years.
Big new plaster cracks, how
ever, indicate that the settling has
not stopped. Uneven floors, stick
ing doors and sagging door frames
are other signs of severe founda<
ton weakness. From within the
basement, check the foundation
walls for cracks and for damp
ness.
An easy way to inspect the roof
is to examine the underside of the
roof deck. If the roof leaks, there
probably will be water stains on
the deck sheathing. Water marks
and paint blisters on ceilings and
walls sometimes are caused by
a leaky roof, too.
If the roof deck is sound, the
condition of the roofing material
on an old house is not of prime
Importance, because reroofing is
not expensive. Asphalt shingles,
which also add the new charm of
color to an old dwelling, ordi-
narily can be used for reroofing
without removing the worn COW
ering.
When inspecting the framing,
look first at the joists. Light ioists
indicate the framing is tiimsy
throughout the house. Check sillS
for termites and dry rot"
Make sure framing is nailed
properly. This can be checked in
the basement. If the cross braces
between joists are nailed solidly,
is usually can be assumed that
mailing in other parts of the house
also is satisfactory.
