From the small heud wounds and the downward course of arrows found In the bodies. Doctor Wlnloek says the men must have died storming a castle, the head wounds evidently having been caused by small missiles from above. They were soldiers of King Menthuhotep. and the unusual honor paid them of bucjal In a rnyah tomb led to the conclusion they fell in on Important engagement. Other wounds on the bodies, the article says, shows that the soldiers were dispatched with clubs hv the victors, after their comrades had ?etrented."" Another attack, however, must have been successful, as the bodies were recovered for burial, p. The tomb was first discovered^ 1923, but because of the disorder, showing previous visits of thieves.

The Pausing of the llorae It seems as if the day of the horse is about over,, at least in the city. For centuries the horse has been the symbol of speed and power, lie was transportation. The oldest sculptures represent rampaut battle steed/., | and heroes have generally been | sculptured riding on horses. Hut this age of motor cars is finding him too slow. We may love horses ami delight in them, but apparently they are bound to go. Agitation is now taking place in London to ' bun the slow-moving .horse-drawn vehicle from the crowded streets. One daily paper says: "Officialdom stands by idle while everyf* day lumbering horse-drawn vans und carts cause long traffic blocks in congested thorough fures^ The loss and inconvenience caused by ' the traffic deiaya are incalculable, and yet nothing is done to ameliorate the nuisance." f . In some congested regions of Pari*, such us the Place de I'Opera and the Place Vendome, horse traffic is banished within certain prescribed hours. The indictment ugainst the horse seems to.)be that lie is slow und that | he is dirty.ci j There is strong support for the suggestion that London should follow i the example of Paris. , Others would banish the horse if only for the sake of the animals. One cannot watch without pity horses struggling on the slippery streets. They are oft^n stationary in tho traffic blocks with their noses just above the exhausts of motors giving ? . v-' . 1ft out foul fumes which have been known to kill human beings. Altogether it looks as if thia ago of r?|> d transit is going to do away with the horse*,' which has been Vailed "the greatest friend of man." _<o - ' The big it t iny transport plane C-2 1 cart led seven men to death when it was smashed to pieces in a desperate attempt at a forced landing a few minutes after taking off from the ' utyny air depot ut Middlotown, Ph., Friday.

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 y ^ one of the greatest serieB 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. White the new six-cylinder motor was in process of development, other Chevrolet engineers were perfecting other parts of the chassis. Ana 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 V/ 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.
