Face to Face ; With r Howard Carter The Man Who Turned Back The Pages of History 3300 Years. J (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) i A most dramatic event occurred in I Egypt, on November 4th, 1922. In the , vicinity of Luxor, a place where the i government Department of Antiquities i is very importnat, an Egyptian King by the name of Tut-Ankh-Amen made a re-entry into civilization. The attention of the entire world was focused upon him and his words. The page of history were turned back 3,300 years. Howard Carter, with the late Earl of Carnarvon, is the man directlly responsible for this, the most important archeological event of our times. A few days ago his distinguished Egyptologist arrived in America by the way of New York City. In company with Lee Keedlck, one who has introduced to the United States many celebrated people whose accomplishI meats have been great. I sought him .out in his suite at the Waldorf Astoria , I found him a quiet, soft-spoken, un- , obstrusive man, medium in height, thigh forehead, bushy eyebrows, black searching, eyes of rather large features and wearing a dark, closely | cropped mustache. In dress, he was decidedly English, which was somewhat surprising to ine as the report had been circulated that Howard Carter. which admittedly is American sounding in name, was a citizen of the United States. "I would be very glad to claim that honor were it true. This impression was gained probably by reason of the fact that I appeal <1 to Americans for aid. The representatives of yonr Metropolitan Museum joined us and rendered very great'assistance,” he commented. Very little conversation was necessary to correct the impression, for his broad pronunciation and slow English drawl stamps him immediately. As a matter of fact. Mr. Carter was born in Swaffham. Norfolk. England , in 1870. His inclination to probe among the rocks and ruins of the Old World was acquired, rather than inherited, for his father was a n<ned animal iwinter. and as a young man he also tiatk up painting, but his health failed him and in the hope he might regain his strength he joined an English nrcbeotagical survey. “Ixird Carnarvon's death was re sponsible for the report that the

F IML c .. y P 1 HOWARD CARTER says: I “Lord Carnarvon's death is re- . sponsible for the report that the t Pharaohs left a deadly curse. This of course is not true.” Pharaohs left a deadly curse upon those who would enter their tombs. This of course, is not true. It is wholly superstition, as 1 have bt en very healthy M all times with the possible exception of a headache or bites from insect or flies." I found Mr. Carter saying Tut-Ankh- , Amen, pronouclng Tut-Ankh-Amen as |“Toot-Ank-Amond." which competely 'shook me loose from ray Tut Tut verI sion. However, I found myself enable to grasp his "La-bor-atory." So on this score I will divide fifty-fifty with him. It is Interesting to note the walking sticks of King Tut, of which are several designs. One in particular was veky noticeable, it beink exceptionally carved at the part held by the hand, which contained two figures, one of an African, the other of an Asiatic, apparently Semetfc. both symbolic of captives. Can it be that King Tut-Ankh-Amen was the original Ku-Kluxer? Howard Carter has added to human history yet unwritten, and it is intensely interesting dramatic history. It is the greatest since the Rosetta stone was found at the Delta of the Nile, which enabhsl the reading of the hieroglyphics. His own work has shown us the true archeologist whom some see as a colorless personality. when as a matter of fact the archeologist is the world's real he-man. He risks his life. pt-aetrat ing aqueducts and entering unknown passage*, doing unhelievFable things in fighting with savage animals, and risky fevers ami exploring the dark places of the earth —all for the sake of the knowledge of humans before history Is-gan. t

Gasoline Prices Lowest ‘Xiasoline is and has been the lowest nriced commodity generally used during the nest SS years, and its average cost during that has been al ways lower than the average priced all commodities. Taking 1913 price level as 100, the January 1924. pnee level of all commodities is 151—while th* price of gasoline is only 97. Thus it is shown that in January, 1924, the dollar wouldl actually buy more gasoline than it would m 1913. The statement of the Oil & Gas Journal bean out the statements oft repeated by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) that the price of gasoline is low., That the petroleum industry has been able to keep down the price of gasoline is an achieve ment worthy of note. It demonstrates the efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and other similar institutions. This result has been accomplished without in any way sacrificing quality of product, nor has it been accompanied by any decrease of service For example, the Standard Oil Company < Indiana) is constantly expanding its vast net work of senice stations, located, necessarily, on high priced property in order to be accessible to the main arteries of travel. These stations are open for service, days, evenings, Sundays and holidays. In addition, huge sums of money have been expended by this Company for other equijxnentbulk storage depots, pumps, tank wagons, and other items necessary to render a complete and comprehensive service-yet with ail these large expenditures the price level of gasoline in 1924 was lower than in 1913. All of which is in support of the ideals animating the Management of this Company—a combination of high quality, best senice, and low prices. » Standard Oil Company (/ndiana) Home Office: Standard Oil Building .910 So.
