For th< preset r a* leas: tr?d probably fo? 'onH1 time it will be impossible to get a comitryhfensive view of the gigantic granite sarcophagus ;>f Pharaoah Tutankhamen. surrounded as ?t is by the 'nest of shrines. There is-abundant evidence, how'ever, that it fully bears out the -minise of the archaeologists that the Sarcophagus of Tutankhamen, the magnificent, would in everywise be worthy of the great era of art in which that Pharaoah reigned. The coffin of Harmahib his successor, now lies in the depths of Harmahib's ruined tomb not 100 yards front the Testing place of Tutankhamen, is also of pinkish stone and is of a purity of design and delicacy of workman-j sh*p that, represents the great sculp-1 ture of Egypt at its best, notably the protective goddesses at its four corners, covering with outspread wings, as it were, the body of the dead king. It is considered probable that the excavators will arrange for a view of the sarcophagus in its shrines for the official world within the next I week or so.

Since the organization of the ' J[ nures training school in 1914 as a feature of the Sanitorium service a large number of young women have become tuberculosis nurses and have entered into a wide field of usefulness where hitherto trained nurses were r.ot often to be found.

In the first place the nurse.-, for the most Dart are the young women who have had tuberculosis and nave become arrested or quiescent cases by sanatroium treatment. They are given a two years' course at the end of which time they receive a diploma certifying that they arc qualified to do tuberculosis nursing or that they may take the third year in a general hospital, their holth permitting, and then become registered nurses. The course of study, says Miss Connally is the same as that given $ in general hospitals and in addition pupil nurses are required to take the courses offered in and are required to assist in the diet kitchen, drug room, charting, the operating room i Newspaper Published in a $1.50 Per Vcair BOONE, D 3KF.LL W;?RTH MiGLIOWS ro SOUTH * ATLANTA A of cheer * f? : state?. in tiu- grip * "t tile co d waV'.' sweeping: the ' country vva^ ot.fered here by C. * ? . \ on lb : iiiai.r. meteorologist * ' at the Urittd States weather bu- *! rcau, who .said that the below *' freezing temocat tires existing in A the cotton belt states were poten * j * tialJv worth millions <d dollars * ! to southern farmeis Mr. Von Herrmann said the * extremely low tempt raturea had * * already wrought havoc in the , ranks of the hibernating boo! *\ v weevil and other cotton and plant * * insect pests. * =f * * * * * * * j BIGGEST PAPER EVER PRINTED IN THE WEST What is believed to have been the largest newspaper over turned out in | the v est was issued by the Denver Post on Sunday Dee.

A. Graham has sum-j med up the wonderful agricultural j progress of the state and shows that the state's 1923 record shows that crop values climbed from $22.10 in 1909 to $59 during the year justj eiid'id Tnhain?< averaged $160 per ii.'tc. and cotton averaged $100 per acre, despite the boll weevil, while sonu farmers actually averaged $200 l"r.*r acre with cotton. This state ranked fourth among the states in the value of 22 leading crops and it has kept that rating with states a great deal larger in area! than North Carolina, where even the acreage under cultivation is comparatively smaller than it is in any of the states which take first, second and third places. One may judge of the ttemendous agricultural progress pf the state when it is stated in Commissioner's Graham's annual report that the value of staple crops in North Carolina last year totalled $431,400 000, compared with $131,073,000 in 1909. For a period of 14 years that is some record. The average per acre | production in the United States was I $10.31 at the last census, compared j with $24.80 for North Carolina. The per acre production in the great state of Iowa was $17.01, and now North Carolina show? up with a per acre production more than 3 1-2 times greater per acre pvoduci ion in the entire nation, and con! sidorably more than three times the ] per acre record in Iowa. That mean? of course that farm wealth is rapidly increasing in the .state. That will help the world to get a fair idea of the immense pos| sibilities in the state. North Carolina ha,- ju^t begun to make progress. Tarheel farmers are begin nftig to ' want better bunaingc.

New York World*, j 20, ! in YEARS OF 13 MONTHS MAY Ve BEGIN IN 1928 IF LEAGUE AGREES WITH ASTRONOMERS j;v Plan to Add Four Weeks to Caleudar and Divid.- it into 28 Day Periods Explained to Scientists. Vo Every year beginning with 192> will consist of thirteen months inatee.d of twelve if the astronomers rej haw their wr.v at the Leairuc of Na- .... isons committee meeting on revision I fQ of the calendar next year. The plan for inserting an extra month in the proposed world-wide calendar to be,^. evolved at the meeting, was explain-1 |il( ed before the American Association of Science in Cincinnati, recently by ro M. B. Cotsworth of Vancouver, its ^ originator. th Each month under the plan would consist of twenty tight days or four f0 complete weeks, the thirteenth month t.j be inserted between June and July cc and to be known, as "Sol." In leap ^ year, "leap day" instead of falling; |U1 . ,n. k rj . uvid be is ., sorted at the end of the new month! p, and there won'id aiso be an extra ho-j ^ liday on December lillth, not desig-' jj nalcd as any particular day of the \\ v. < k. Sundays always would be the yi rlrst day of the month. Jt Easter also would be set at a per yj maucnl time instead of being govern- (v ed by the position of the moon as J under the p v ent Gregorian. ralen-! "] dar. Tentatively, April S, the middle point between the earliest and the latest vaster has been selected. The Gregorian calendar/ with its J< month of uneven length, is inconve-, a] nivnt to present day business and p domestic life, Mr. Cotsworth declar- pi ed. While salaries, rents, accounts,} and budgets in many cases arc on a i i\ monthly basis, the discrepancies in i n the length of months cause much con- , d t usion, he said. 1 < .Should the new calendar, .-aid to 1 A have Uv approval of representatives! ri of a number of countries, he adopted ' e national holidays might he dated at u will, but a translation of birth dates ! i! into terra.- < : the new system would* be noces-ary. j ? QUESTION: Are the long-range fore casts of the almanac* arid! some of i the. newspapers reliable ? . . Answer. The weather 1 orecarts by c uays as set forth in the many a;ma- : riacs is unquestionably based on the willingness of many to accept with- ^ ! out question most anythiu- hat ap-4 pears in print. Actually such fore-1 ^ casts ait not based on sound principles and therefore are without any ^ value whatsoever. The farmer who r attempts to carry on his business' ^ with these forecasts to guide him } must necessarily lose rather than gain | v by following them. Similar forecasts i of weather and temperature for a j t long time in advance that one sees I c in the newspapers should be regard-j ed as not worthy of consideration and j ? mereiore snouia not Be !o!!"\vod in planning farming operatlor.s.
