Another mummy which made news last week was that of Harwa, an agricultural official who was attached, some 2,800 years ago, to one of the God Amon's temples. Harwa was exhumed in Egypt some time ago and now belongs to Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History. Recently the General Electric X-Ray Corp. arranged to borrow him so that he could be fluoroscoped full length for the edification of visitors to the New York World's Fair.

Only 33 miles west of Dallas, Fort Worth, where blustery Publisher Amon G. Carter of the Star-Telegram gives $20 Stetson hats to distinguished guests, prides itself on being a thoroughgoing Western cow town. Boasting itself the Southwest's No. 1 grain and livestock market, Fort Worth likes the virile stench of its stockyards, hates cultured Dallas, of late years has found the excitement of its annual rodeo surpassed by the excitement of watching its fast, rangy Texas Christian University football team play Dallas' fast, rangy Southern Methodists...
