Tomb of Egyptian
Priest Unearthed
LONDON.—A great tomb, con
taining relics of life in Egypt almost
5,000 years ago—the burial place of
Raouer, the high priest of the god
dess Nekheb—has been uncovered by
excavations near ttre world-famous
Sphinx.
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! K
fear for the safety of the nation and
wonder where Uncle Sam will find
sufficient officers to command his
army, need only take a glance at the
number of members of the Officers
Reserve Corps on the A. and M. cam
pus to find at least an indication of
how the problem will be solved.
Ranging from the rank of lieuten
ant-colonel down to second lieuten
ant, at least 36 members of the A.
and M. College faculty and advanced
students of the college hold reserve
commissions and meet regularly
every other Wednesday evening in
the Military Science Building to
study under the professors of the
Military Science Department and re
ceive credit for promotion. Instruc
tion is given in minor tactics and in
the various forms of technique re
quired in carrying on modern war
fare.
Frank G. Anderson, coach of the i
Aggie track team, is the ranking re
serve officer on the campus with a
commission as lieutenant-colonel of ;
Bolton and Dr. J. T. Lonsdale are
majors while the captains include G.
A. Geist, E. H. Steel, H. R. Bray-

gue, J. C. Cheatham, C. W. Crawford,

A lesson in criminal jurisprudence,
or what-have-you, was completed at
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., recently, when
Ralph Colburn, 18, of Kingston, rob

was sentenced at 11 a. m. the same
day to spend ten to twenty years at
hard labor and pay a fine of $5,000.

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. Parker—DUO
FOLD,” that guarantees it for life !
