King Farouk financed the ex cavation In which workers spe cially selected for their delicate touch used shaving brushes to clear the last grains of sand from the coffins of grass In which the bodies had reposed for 50 cen turies. From First Dynasty A young archeologist, Zakl Saad. headed the expedition which found the burial site, dat ing from the first dynasty, in this suburban town 15 miles south of Cairo. The old. dry grass disintegrat ed at the slightest touch as the coffins were being removed and the bodies It had protected since the dawn o! history began to be visible for the first time since about 3000 B.C. The first body uncovered was that of a woman. As the grass was cleared painstakingly away, her head still showed locks of hair. The skull and teeth were well preserved, and there was a distinct feminine contour to the rest of the body.

Jars and skilfully worked small alabaster vessels and necklaces of colored stones lay under the body. There was no indication of her name.

(U.R)-rA female cat with two-thirds of a brain has been put to work here for the betterment of mankind. Dr. Averill Stowell, Tulsa neu rosurgeon said some misconcep tions of the human brain are being corrected by his experi ments on the cat. One-third of the animal's brain was removed in 11 delicate operations. The cat appears normal, ex cept for an exaggerated, pon derous walk. Stowell believes that humans, like the cat, could operate with as much as one-third of their brains removed. One of the false Ideas being corrected in the experiments is that the cerebellum, a principal organ in the central nervous sys tem, functions only to co-ordinate muscles. "We now believe that the cerebellum has other functions," Stowell said. "We also believe that other parts of the brain have to do with co-ordination." New Toothpaste Tube To End Squabbles Stillwater.
