What Is Behind Sealed Door? First Stories of Excavations. Most Fascinating . Find of Kings of j» the Ancients. That the art and ‘ulture of ancient Egypt surpassed that of Greece and Rome in their greatest days 1is at- tested by the discoveries receatly * made by Howard Carter, the Ameri- can Egyptologist, working under the auspices of Lord Carnarvon to un- earth the tomb of King Tutankha- men at Luxor, Egypt. Anticipating the most important revelations of treasures vet brought to light when the sealed chamber of the tomb is opened soon, the North ‘American Newspaper Alliance and the London Daily Mail have assigned Ar- thur E.

For over 40 years the Associated Charities has been trying to prevent, as well as relieve, distress in the District of Columbia. For the past 25 years the Citizens’ Relief Association has joined hands with it. Unitedly, without respect to race or creed, these family service organizations have been endeavoring to bring hope and cheer to families overborne by misfortune. More and more the emphasis has been placed upon giv- ing the children in these families the same opportuni- tiés for education, good health and: preparation for citizeirship enjoyed by their more fortunate fellows Last year there were 3,032 children in the 1,346 families under our care. . . Last year 5575 different contributors supported this work in its various branches. Will not those of this number who have not renewed their gifts do so now? Will not others who have never joined in this community work lend their aid? The need is urgent. Contributions may be designated for one or both of the societies and sent to Howard S.

King Tutankhamen was a ruler in the eighteenth dynasty of the ancient Theblan kings, and, according to our system of dating, ascended the throne some thirteen centuries before the Dbirth of Christ. The magnificent rel- ics that have already been found the antechambers of his tomb are s lent, though eloguent, testimony to the splendor of his reign and the high state of civilization at tlat time.

There is a solid gold crown on_each statue, and on the feet of each there are sandals of the same precious metal. The faces shaw marvelous workmanship on the part of the sculptor, besides an artistry in advance of anything vet Throne Room Discovered. In this same chamber is a throne which, according to those who have seen it, 1s a marvel of the crafts- man’s and jeweler's art. There are the chariots of the king, the royal _couches and the robes of the queen. The work has barely begun.
