Dr. IL K. Win lock, associate curator of Egyptian art at the museum, reconstructs the battle from reports of the wounds found on the mummies by the museum's Egyptian expedition. From the small head wounds and the downwurd course of arrows found In the bodies, Doctor Wlnlook says the men must have died storming a castle, f Tie head wounds evidently having been caused by small missiles from above. They were soldiers of King Menthuhotep. and the unusual honor paid them of burial In a royal tomb led to tlie conclusion they fell In an Important engagement. Other wounds on the bodies, the article says, shows that the soldiers were dispatched with clubs by the victors, after their comrades hnd 1-etreated. Another attack, however, must have been successful, as the bodies were recovered for burial. 1 he tomb was first discovered > 1 'i-.l, but because of t lie disorder, showing previous visits of thieves.

Six in the price range of the represents 4- years of Development and over a Million miles of Testing Atrn* ' " .ivTvt *??o * new motor car come to the public more thoroughly proved in every detail than The Outstanding Chevrolet of Chevrolet History. ? Years ago, the Chevrolet Motor Company designed and built its first experimental six-cylinder motor. This far-sighted step was taken because Chevrolet engineers knew that the six-cylinder motor is inherently the most perfectly balanced motor ? the ideal power plant to meet the growing public ^ demand for greater reserve power, faster getaway and, above all? smooth, quiet performance. During the last four years, over a hundred six-cylinder motors?representing every conceivable type? were built by Chevrolet engineers and tested on the General Motors . Proving Ground. This constituted one of the greatest series of tests ever conducted with any automobile. From time to time, the experimental models were torn down for inspection, redesigning and further testing ? until the present motor was developed and pronounced correct. While the new six-cylinder motor was in process of development, other Chevrolet engineers were perfecting other parts of the chassis. And another great automotive organization?the Fisher Body Corporation ?was devoting its gigantic resources to the creation of the finest, sturdiest and most beautiful bodies ever offered on a low-priced automobile. As a result, the Outstanding Chevrolet offers an order of well-balanced excellence that is extraordinary in the low-price field. From every standpoint?power, speed, smoothness, acceleration and quietness ? its performance is truly amazing. Its handling ease and roadability are exceptional. Its economy of operation is so great that it delivers better than 20 miles to the gallon of gaso* line. And its outstanding beauty, smartness and luxury are exciting widespread admiration.
