Presbyterians Make Big Plans.
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.

Opera House Attraction.
love, thrills, mystery and intrigue will
be the attraction at the opera house,
Bellefonte, Monday night, February
26th. 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. The play hinges on the ef-
forts of daring and cunning Japanese
agents though watched by secret serv-
ice men, to gain possession of the Ha-
waiian islands by intrigue and situa-
tions of an intensely dramatic charac-
ter are developed. Prices, 50c., $1.00
plus tax. Seats on sale now.

THE GRAVES OF THE ANCIENT
PHAROAHS CONFIRMING
HISTORY.
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-
