Egyptian government offi- - cials announced the find buried 150 feet under sand and rock within a "stone's throw" of the temple of Queen Hatshepsut, his-tory's first great woman ruler. Pictured at the left is the huge statue of Queen Hatshepsut. She was queen of Egypt nearly 3,000 years ago and per-sonally led expeditions that spread Egypt's trade and culture over the Mid-dle East. Mentemhet held the title of "Sacerdota (priestly) Primacy of Egypt" and was one of the wealth-iest of all Egyptian priests. His burial temple, discov-ered in almost perfect con-dition, reflects the pomp and pageantry of the Egyp-tian kingdom of that pe-riod. in ' prince of Vhees Vm& 'Ha, sM j 0 The amazing picture ot the right is the burial palace as it looks today excavated to t h e first level. Openings on the tight and left lead down to burial chambers where members of the Mentem-- h et family were found.

C. And Egyptian government officials are still searching for the most fabulous of all, the tomb of Cleapatra. According to legends and the history of Egypt, treasure worth $200,000,000 is believed to have been buried with her. At left is the picture of a mummy after 30 centuries of mummification. The mummy is a priest and is in a remarkable state of preservation. Modern sci-ence with all its resources has been unable to discover the secret used by the Egyptians to preserve the bodies of nobles and priests. Even the features of the mummy can be dis-tinguished in this case. SPORTLIGHT I Minors Have Legitimate Squawks Bv GRANTLAND RICE ' THE WEST COAST Is on the edge revolt, unless baseball does something about its status. There are more sides to this argument than an octopus has fingernails. The west coast thinks it should be the third big league. One argument is that Los An-geles is bigger than three cities now enjoying this hon-or. San Francisco is no minor-leagu- e town. But neither is Baltimore or Buffalo or Houston or other cities now rated in the minor-leagu- e row. After all, there is only one Los Angeles and one San Francisco f f i 'Ml on the coast. An-other barrier is the size of most west coast ball parks. Most of them seat from 20,000 to And no one can build any 35,000 or 45,000 or even 1,000-se-ball parks day television ts a wrecking In-stitution for the smaller people In sport. It is crushing out their lives. Minor leagues and minor football games are being wiped out. Army has played to capacity plus television this year. Down in Texas, S.M.U. and the Longhorns have filled the stadiums with tele-vision thrown in. Notre Dame crowds have held up despite tele-vision and a poor season. Michigan had its games televised last year and played to capacity 563,363 for six home games. This year without television (it is banned in the Big Nine) the Wolverines total was but 508,000 for the same number of games at home. All of which proves nothing from a television standpoint for the ticket sales declined be-cause of Michigan's disappointing showing. Figuring an 80,000 crowd this week-en- d at Ohio State, the Wolverine total will reach 715,000 spectators for nine games. But these are only a few from the vast mass. Why pay out good money (pretty good, anyway) for a smaller show, when they bring you a much bigger show for noth-ing? It might be said here that baseball will have its troubles at the winter meeting and there can be no answer that will please everybody. Football also has Its television problems. This new instrument has suddenly stirred up more trouble than Noah's flood once brought to the world. Everyday an endless number of new sets are being sold, which only adds to the numbers of the stay - at - homes without any charge. These "free spectators" don't help the sport financially. Case of Joe DiMaggio Ty Cobb came from Royston, Georgia; Babe Ruth from Balti-more; Tris Speaker and Rogers Hornsby from the overwhelming state of Texas. Here are four of baseball's greats. But Joe and Dom DiMaggio report from San Francisco, and San Fran-cisco takes as much pride in these two stars especially Joe as any city could feel about a ballplayer. In San Francisco they move Joe up with Cobb and Ruth. They ask you around the Golden Gate how much longer Joe DiMag-gio can carry on. Who can say? More than a few of the sombre in-spectors were saying back in June last summer that Joe was reaching or had reached the end of the road. But DiMaggio answered by hitting .380 the rest of the way and playing in 139 ball games. Joe DiMaggio was born Novem-ber 25, 1914. He is 36 years old. He broke in with San Francisco in 1932, 18 years ago. He reported to the Yankees in 1936, and since then has played in over 1.600 ball games. Grantland Rice The west coast has one deserved squawk. They build up some young, popular star and the big leagues either make them sell said star or else they draft him. This is not so pleasant for the west coast fan. It isn't so pleasant for the American Association or the International League or other strong leagues either. But no one has worked out a substitute. It isn't any too pleasant for Montreal to have three or four popular stars hauled back to Brooklyn In The main wonder is that with the draft, plus television, there is any minor-leagu- e baseball left. One answer is that it is crum-bling rapidly and there will soon be little remaining. Certainly Los Angeles and San Francisco are far above many big league cities in population and sport interest. How many cities could draw 105,000 to a football game or 85,000 to a race track on a single day? On New Year's Day, the Rose Bowl will play to 97,000 and Santa Anita will entertain 0 or more. But the problem of a third major league is a heavy one. The problem of the draft Is a heavy one. But if a young istar was never sold or drafted, he would never reach the big league. Same Old Problem Television offers the same tangle on the Pacific coast that it offers everywhere else. It cost west coast college teams from 10,000 to 20,000 a game in the matter of attendance. Only the top affairs had the e crowds. Television cut heavily in Pa-cific coast baseball. No one knows what the future has to offer. All they know is that to-- Christmas Legends Explain Origins Of Decorations There are many legends concern-ing the origin of Christmas trees and why we decorate and cheerish them through the Yule season, And for many of us it would not seem like Christmas without a green and graceful fir standing in its place of honor in the living room, decorated with bright lights and stars. Why the evergreen? The most beautiful legend of all goes like this: As Christ lay in the manger after his birth, the wise men came to worship bringing their many gifts. Then came the shepherds and the people of the village to kneel and pray in the presence of this wonder-ful child. After them came the trees to pay homage to the Christ child. First the native palms from the hills around Bethlehem, and then the stately maples and oaks and birches and hemlocks. Then, last of all, timid because of his smallness, came a tiny fir from the frozen north. It was so small and modest that none paid any attention to it until suddenly a star dropped from the sky and twinkled on a bough of the tree. Another and another fell until the little tree was the most beautiful of all aglow as if from a celestial light. Holly has become an accepted dec-oration for Christmas. Reference to it has been made in numerous stories and carols, such as: "Deck the hall with boughs of holly Tis the season to be jolly!" The custom dates back to the time of the ancient Romans who used holly in connection with the celebra-tion of their Saturnalia which oc-curs about the same time as Christ-mas. The holly tree was most beautiful at a time of year when other trees were barren and for that reason was ideal for decorations. And be-cause it was most beautiful at Christmas time, many persons thought the tree must be sacred, Correct Use of Water Keeps Holiday Greens Looking Fresh, Bright JUST A LITTLE WATER, correctly is the answer to keeping Christmas greens fresh and bright throughout the holiday season. Since the decorations are usually cut well before Christ-mas, they dry out rapidly un-less given plenty of water. The greens not only look dilapidated, but form a serious fire hazard. For many years it was thought necessary to use chemicals in water to keep the Christmas tree and other greens fresh and bright. It is known now, however, that water does the trick just as well. To condition the house for better survival of Christmas greens, the first thing to do is to keep the heat down. High temperatures hasten drying by increasing the water loss from plants. Then, keep a pan or two of water on the radiator or heating stove to add moisture to the air. Water house plants often during the Christmas season. Growing plants transpire a lot of water Into the air. These precautions will increase the humidity in the house and pro-long the freshness of evergreen dec-orations. Taking care of the Christmas tree itself is no more difficult. Nail a small wooden base (6 inches square) to the bottom of the tree. Stand the tree in a pail of water. Weight the pail with gravel to hold the tree erect. Trees kept standing in water will remain in good condition for as long as 30 days.

Body of St. Nicholas Buried at Bari, Italy The body of Santa Claus other-wise St. Nicholas, the onetime bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, is buried at Bari, Italy. The body was stolen from its original tomb in Myra by Italian sailors in 1087 and taken to Bari. Europeans in those days thought that a saint's body brought pros-perity and good luck to the town where it was buried. For that reason it was stolen from Myra. |
