While the articles and the mummy itself are of the highest archeologi cal value, probably the most startl ing find was one that revealed a drama enacted probably centuries ago within the dark fastnesses of the tomb. Thrust into the open coffin of the mummy was the dismembered skele ton of a man’s hand. It’s fingers still clutched a necklace and a quantity of precious stones. NEW YORK.—How closely relat ed are man and ape ? This question is about to receive an authoritative answer. Three of New York’s leading sci entists, attached to Columbia Uni versity and the American Museum of Natural History, have just returned from Africa with the embalmed bodies of two huge adult gorillas— the first ever to be brought into civ ilization’s laboratories in such com plete condition. The bodies are to be dissected for a thorough anatomical comparison with the human body. The leader of the expedition is still in Africa. He is Henry C. Raven, associate curator of comperative and human anatomy at the museum. His associates, professors at Columbia, have returned to resume their class room duties after an eight-month absence. 4!

Do Most College Students Demand?” College Humor Magazine Asked 137 College Pen Healers In a recent nation-wide magazine poll of 12 vocational pen markets, Parker was first in 9 out of 12 voca tions representing 94.72% of the vocational market. In the new census of 137 college pen dealers, 45.11 % say Parker is the official college pen — more than 2 to 1 the favorite over the next two nearest makes. One big reason for Parker Duo- fold’s overwhelming popularity is its convertible feature—like two pens for the price of one—for pocket, for study desk. Attaching a taper con verts the Parker in 10 seconds from a Pocket Duofold to a Desk Pen. So whether you want a Desk Set at once or later, if you now get the Convertible Pocket Duofold Pen, all you’ll need is a base to complete the set. A tapered end comes free. You save the price of a second pen. See Parker’s new streamlined shape that sets lower in the pocket because the clip starts at the top — not halfway down the cap. And see the name, “Geo. S.
