Mummies' Wounds Tell
of Egyptian Battle

on the river Nile 4,000 years ago. as
revealed by the mum ml (led bod! s of

Theban tomb, Is told in a bulletin of
the lloyal Metropolitan Museum of
Art;
Dr. II. E. Wlnbk'k, assocfate curator1'
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 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. It
vvas sealed and not opened until recently.
Meanwhile the expedition devoted

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."

of Chevrolet History

* _ ?, ?* ' 7*~,
.... represents ^j- years of Development ~
and over a Million miles of Testing
Never has a new triotor car come to
the public more thoroughly proved
in every detail than TheOutstanding
( 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
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.
You owe it to yourself to see and O
inspect this Remarkable car. Come
in today!
