"Tomb of Alexander the Great",
In Turkish Museum, Is Mis-named

ISTANBUL I XV) While llow-
aril Carter dies In Alexandria,
Kpypt. for the tomb of Alexander
the Great, guides of this Turkish
metropolis continue ns for years
past to point out I hut tonvh to
tourists who visit the National
museum here.
Splendid though it is, with its
marble buH-rcliers depicting- battle
and hunting scenes, the mtrcopha
. sua In the Ituubul museum never
held the hones of Alexander, nor
have Turkish authorities ever pre
tended that it was his tomb. Hit
lit Hey, diroctor of the museum
and brother of the great Turkish
archaeologist Uaimli Bey, who dis
covered the farcuiiliiiffui jn SIdon
in 1887, states that It wus con
structed towards the end of the
fourth century B. c by a l'hlenl
ehin king, well after the death of
Alexander,
4 Of tho nuiny different supposi
tions as to who.se hones this sar
cophagus contained, 1-Dilll Bey be
lieves the most plausible to bo the
conjecture mado . by Gustavo
Schlumbcrger who has It that tho
l'hoeniciau king Tahulth construct
ed it. fur a Greek slave ghi of Ma
cedonia whom he greatly loved.
VThUK tho king had carved upon the
sarcophagus tho effigy of Alexan
der, tho great hero of tho dead
girl's native land.
The theory that the tomb was
made for a girl Is substantiated,
Halil Hey argues, by the feminine
attiifosphere which tho. sculptors
created in the tenderness of tho
colors and , lines and; In. the deli
cacy of the marble lace-wo.rk.

right for his right arm was left

1EIGILT or WRONG!
A soldier lost his left arm In
the war. and so his right arm was
left. His left arm was not left
since it was cut off and his left
arm wfis right.; If he hud lost

The vogue today is to have floors
that harmonize with the color
ic heme of the room and its furnish
ings. For small homes, particularly,
colored floors are appropriate and
stylish.
. To meet the demand for a w ir
resisting finish for floors and all
other surfaces subjected to hard
everyday wear, the General Paint
Corporation has introduced a new
finish QUICK-STEP. But do not
confuse QUICK-STEP with var
nishes, enamels or ordinary paints.
It is like none of them. It is very
easy to apply, goes further, dries
overnight. Once on it forms a tough,
iron hard surface that defies the
iteady tramp of feet.
In order that floors may be colored
to blend perfectly with the coloi
scheme of any room QUICK-STEP
comes in eight beautiful colors.
And there is a Clear QUICK-STEF
for use on hardwood floors or lino,
teum. It brings out the colors o
the designs and protects the sur
face. It enhances the natural grain
and gives a finish that is hard and
wear-resisting.
QUICK-STEP is not only a supcrl
finish but is equally beautiful foi
any surface that must stand hard
wear. Let QUICK-STEP prove iti
good qualities for you. Your rcgu
far dealer carries it.

When Goodyear puts the words "Heavy
Duty" on the side-wall of a tire, everybody
knows those words mean extra strength,
extra service, extra wear.
But in its new Heavy Duty balloon, Good
year now puts something more an out
ward beauty quite as superior as its inner
excellence.
This . great new tire is ruggedly hand-,
some, massively proportioned, and around
either side-wall below its extra-thick and
extra-safe All-Weather Tread runs a single
identifying stripe of silver

A striking feature is the way in which the

balloon tire for those w ho want to drive
fast arid far without worry, and are willing
to pay a little extra for that privilege.
