GEOLOGISTS STUDY | MOUNTAINS BY AR Relate Adventures Over Rugged Maskan Ranges Washington, Nov. 9 (P—Flying over rugged mountuin peaks that; ordinarily require weeks of weary | travel by foot and pack train to su mount them, three American geolo- gists have recently returned from Alaska to relate how nature’s bar- riers to an unexplored section of the Alaskan Mountain range were Lroken down by seaplane flight. With no prospects of smooth landing fields after they should reach their rugged inland objec- tive, the American scientists of the United States Geological ~ Survey who set out to map and study one of Alaska’s “blind spots” were forced to trust to a seaplane's abil- | ity to fly over jagged peaks until some inland lake near their work ing base was reached, They took off from the harbor at Anchorage and in an hour and 20 minutes the pilot set the plane| down on Chakathamna lake—a dis- tance inland from Anchorage that requires three weeks by pack train | { purchases he reported were mostly | for the army.

He is now finishing his laboratory work which will mark the end of one of the most important archeological discoveries ever made in Egypt. During November and December Carter will reconstruct several hun- dred ancient Egyptian game boards and elucidate the games themaselves. These are different forms of primi- tive games of checkers and cheas. Now that the end of the work is approaching, the sclentists can see more clearly what the value of the discovery of King Tut-ankh-amen's tomb has been to the world. General speaking, the excavation has only provided much material which better illustrates facts about the lives and customs of the ancient Egyptians that were already known. It is the historians who have profited most. Before the discovery they | knew the dates of the dynasty of the reigns of the separate members of the family. Their problem was that the total years of the various reigns . greatly exceededathe period which could be assigned to the whole dv- nasty. When King Tut-ankh-amen's tombh was opened the answer was found in the fact that several mem- bers of the family often reigned simultancously as ce-regents.

Mackensie, now aged 24. as a youth of 14 tricked the enlist- ment officers at Jacksonville by pre- jsenting a signed document from his .uther stating he was of serviceable age. In an emergency, when enlist ment authorities insisted his father lappear in person, he canvamsed the ‘city docks on the waterfront and for two dollars persuaded a grayed old sailor to appear in the role of parent and swear the youth was telling the truth. John A. Boucher, 84, veteran of Boucher journeyed to anether city and giving his age as ¢35, was ac- cepted and passed by medical ex- aminers. Not long later he sailed for France, active duty and an act of heroism netted him a decoration. Boucher, who still stands erect, with head and shoulders thrown back to display stamp of the military man, is known around these parts as a fighting democrat and on all occasions during the campaign furthered Smith's candidacy. They differ in respective attitudes toward any future war in which the United States may engage.

Boucher, in fighting and the unmistakable | things military may be more deeply rooted, stands ready to go to arms again. That he could again succeed in drawing the wool over any enlist- ment officer’s eyes all may doubt and in so doing disagree with Boucher. “As long as a man can carry a gun and step smartly under orders,” he says gesticulating “he is never too old to fight.” SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT Memphis, Tenn., Nov. § UP—A cavity in a tooth may be as small as one-fifth the size of the tooth brush bristle and still hold 8,400, /000,000 germs, dentists at a recent | clinical meeting here were told.

Although the region has hitherto | heen shut off from civilization, the airplane may make possible its opening, he believes, if there is suf- ficlent interest among scenery ! hunters and prospectors to fly into | the interior, “We saw no traces of civilization and received no word from the out- dé world from the time our sea- plane pilot left us at the head of Lake Chakgathamna in June until he landed on a nearby lake with a party of trappers en route to an- | other section in the middle of Au- gust,” Capps says. | Plans for further exploration in| the region next summer may in-| clude more extensive use of sea- | planes In penetrating the interior | tion Chancellorsville when he party of Lis horsemen, miste the darkness for members of the federal cavalry, were fired upon by confederate soldiers.
