The Presbyterian denomination plans a nation-wide canvass of its con- stituency on March 11th to raise $14,- 500,000.00 for the denominational work in this country and the world. The Presbyterian church has a mem- bership of 1,756,978 and an enrollment in the bible schools of 1,500,000. The total additions on confession of faith for a period of fifty years have aver- aged 172 per day. Work is carried on among 67 nationalities. The work in the United States is carried on by a strong force preaching the gospel in forty-two languages and dialects. Fif- ty-seven colleges claim allegiance to the Presbyterian church. The pioneer work is indicated by the fact that last year Presbyterian Sunday school mis- sionaries conducted 3,000 mission schools in places where there is no other religious instruction. 974 min- isters and missionaries are on the pen- sion roll of the denomination and 1,026 widows and orphans are aided. The following lines of activity are carried on in the interest of christian Americanization: Immigrant work, rural work in the south, west, and the mountain region, city missions, Span- ish-speaking work, Alaskan work, southern mountain work, Indian work, work among the colored people, Sab- bath school missions in the spiritually neglected parts of the country, church erection, christian education, work in the interest of temperance and moral welfare, young peoples’ conferences for the training of christian leader- ship. It costs $47,000,000.00 to main- tain the various Presbyterian churches of the denomination. Virtually 66 per cent. of all money raised for benevo- lent purposes is spent in this country , for Christian .Americanization. The . administrative expenses for all this . work is about six per cent. The Pres- byterian congregation of Bellefonte has accepted as its budgets, $6225.00 (current expense) and $4500.00 be- nevolent). Forty canvassers, in " teams of two, will visit the homes of the local Presbyterian constituency on March 11th and secure pledges for the above amounts. ——The biggest event of the year —the Bellefonte Auto Show, March 8-1t Boys Enjoy Pictures and Talk on : China.

The play is a blending. of mu- sic, song, comedy and melodrama and story is distinctly different. The scenes are laid in the Hawaiian islands and the atmosphere of the tropical isles is reproduced with fidelity. The opportunities for elaborate scenic or- namentation are unlimited and it is said that they have not been overlook- ed in this production, numerous strik- ing effects being promised. The real- ism of the islands is accentuated by a band of native Hawaiian players who render their plaintive and charming music and unique dances during the unfolding of the plot, which grips and holds the interest throughout the per- formance.

Exploitation of the Tomb of King Tutenkhamun Revealing Secrets of Centuries Before the Birth of Christ. For weeks the dispatches form Lux- or, Egypt, have been freighted with more interest to the world. Seven years ago archeologists began digging in the Valley of the Kings for the grave of 'Tutenkhamun. While the rest of the world was pressing on with thoughts only of the future this little band of scientists plugged steadily away in the stifling heat of Egypt, what for: They had no thought of financial advancement. Like all men who give their lives to science they were merely hoping to check up on some of the beliefs we have of what and where the race came from and thereby make our theories of the foundations of civilization facts upon which we can stand firmly. The revelaticns that have come from the actual discovery of the tomb searched for may have far greater re- sults than the searchers even hoped for, for now that they have found it, hieroglyphics on the walls of the tomb, when deciphered, may reveal much that will everlastingly silence those who question the accuracy of the records of the Old Testament. Search for Tutenkhamun’s tomb, which it has been agreed by Egyptol- ogists was the last important royal burial place in the Valley of the Kings, was begun seven years ago by Howard Carter, famous Egyptolo- gist, who was financed by Lord Car- narvon. Starting at the mouth of the bar- ren, desolate valley, Mr. Carter began the slow and uninspiring work of re- moving every bit of fallen limestone and debris from the narrow valley. He set up a little tram road, hauling all the debris out, so that in moving it from one spot it would not cover up a possible tomb. . Month after month he worked with his little crew of natives, utterly un- rewarded. More than once Lord Car- narvon was on the point of abandon- ing the expedition, but Mr. Carter in- duced him to keep on. : The search was finally successful and on February 16th the actual mor- tuary chamber of a Pharoah who was buried 3300 years ago was entered by explorers. It is by far the richest trove ever uncovered in the necropo- lis of ancient Thebes, and in all like- lihood is the richest that ever will be discovered, Ambrose Lansing, acting curator of the Egyptian section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, declar- ed recently. oh Tombs of virtually all the early rulers of Egypt have been accounted for, most of them thoroughly looted by native grave robbers, said Mr: Lan- sing, who has spent much time with Metropolitan expeditions delving in the cld burial places. : “There are only two or three royal tombs left to look for,” he said, “and they are those of lesser kings—for in-. stance those of Semenkhare, who reigned for a few months before Tut- enkhamun, and Ay, who reigned for an equally short time after Tutenkha- mun’s death. : “All the others have been opened, a few by archeologists, but the most of them by vandals, who left nothing of importance behind them.” + TREASURES WORTH MILLIONS. Royal furniture, garments, chariots, ornaments and works of art, of rare beauty and exquisite workmanship, al- ready have been found in unprecedent- ed quantities in the outer chamber of Tutenkhamun’s tomb. The funeralry equipment, much of it heavily encrust- ed with gold and semi-precious stones, is valued at millions of dollars. But treasures of greater value in the eyes of the Egyptologists—bits of historical data of the era antedating Christ by thirteen and a half centu- ries,—are hoped for when the hiero- glyphic inscriptions - within the tomb itself have been translated. One of the most fascinating theo-. ries, the records in the tomb may con- firm or explode, is that advanced by Arthur Wiegall, former inspector gen- eral of antiquities to the Egyptian government, and one of the best known Egyptologists, that Tutenkha- mun was the Pharaoh who oppressed the children of Israel and whose army, the exodus, is declared in Biblical ac- counts to have been swallowed up in the Red Sea. ABANDONED MENOTHEISM. Tutenkhamun, previously discovered records, show, took the name “Tuten- khaton” when he first acceded to the throne, thus indicating his sympathy with the so-called “heretical” mono- theistic worship of Aton, the “All Loving Father of All Creation,” which had been introduced into Egypt under his predecessor, Akhnaton. ] In the midst of his eight-year reign, however, he changed his name to Tu- tenkhamun, indicating a return to the polytheistic Ammon worship of his ancestors. Mr. Weigall’s theory is that the “Aton” worship was in reality the Jehovah, initiated in Egypt by Moses, and that when Tutenkhamun returned cluding the enforced brickmaking without straw, which resulted in the exodus. : A comparison of the biblical record with records giving the Egyptian side of the story long has been awaited by critical students of the Bible with keen interest. Mr. Lansing exhibited a series of photographs of the Valley of Kings, one showing the exact location of Tut- enkhamun’s tomb. Tucked away in a sandstone cliff, it is but a stone's throw from the looted tomb of Mer- neptah, previously believed by Egypt- ologists to have been the “Pharoah of the exodus.” . RAMESES’ TOMB NEARBY. ' The tomb of Rameses VI is imme- diately above it, and somewhat high- er up the side of the cliff and a little to the left is the tomb of Amenhotep, opened by the French explorer Loret twenty years ago. The Valley of the Kings is a deso- ‘late waste and almost wholly made up of limestone, burned brown by ages of blazing suns, and is utterly devoid of vegetation. The roads and path- ways made by Egyptologists show chalky white, however, where the “burn” has been worn from the white rock. The valley is about five miles from the Nile, across the river from the site of ancient Thebes. It was select- ed for a burial place because of its remote location, which the royal Egyptians of the seventeenth and eighteenth dynasties hoped would save them from desecration by tomb rob- bers. Their hopes were vain, however, for ghouls found the spot and looted al- most all of the tombs. During the opening of Tutenkhamun’s tomb it was discovered that vandals had loot- ed it at least once, and many of the more valuable funeralry articles, made of gold, were carried off. State Grange May Build State College Dormitory. A special committee appointed by the Pennsylvania State Grange is to consider in the near future a propos- al that the organization provide a res- idence hall for students at The Penn- sylvania State College as a share in the college emergency building fund campaign for $2,000,000. At least a dozen county Grange or- ganizations have already given finan- cial aid to the State College fund. At the last State Grange convention at Williamsport the appointment of a committee was authorized for the pur- pose of investigating the proposal that was brought out at that time. P. H. Dewey, of Gaines, is chairman of this committee which he expects to get together at the college early in March. Others on the committee are My. B. Orr, Mercer; Mrs. Howard Van- Kirk, Washington, Pa.; Mrs. Louis Piollet, Wysox, and Professor R. G. Bressler, of the State Grange agri- cultural school faculty. Clarion and Crawford Pomona Granges were among the first to sug- gest and recommend this plan. The ‘Crawford organization adopted reso- lutions favoring more adequate finan- cial support for State-College and ad- vocated Grange interest in the “erec- tion of a Grange hall at State College which shall take the form of a dormi- tory for agricultural students.” AARONSBURG. Paul Krape, a student in Albright College,” Meyerstown, Pa., has been home for more than a week, owing to having had an attack of grip. Andrew Stover and Paul Beaver, employed in Burnham, spent Sunday with their parents in this place. These young men. are each holding good po- sitions in one of the public works in Burnham. . A regular old-time "epidemic of grip has been prevailing throughout the community for a number of weeks and as yet there seems to be no end of it in sight. Some familiés have all been down at one time. Thursday, the 8th inst. that busy old bird, the stork, paid a visit to the C. E. Musser home and left their son- in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Wingard, a bright little - daughter, Hester Hannah. Sunday, the 18th, Rev. J. S. Hollen- back filled some of the appointments on the Centre Hall charge. They are considering a new pastor at this time. We would wish them success, such as the Aaronsburg Reformed charge has met with in having procured such a splendid minister. Stover Durst came down from Belle- fonte and spent Sunday with his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. John Durst. Mrs. Durst has been sorely afflicted with rheumatism and lumbago for some time. She is slowly growing better and her friends and neighbors hope she may soon be quite well again. BOALSBURG. Miss Ellen Dale spent Friday in Bellefonte.
