OBELISKS FROM EGPYT LOCATED AT MEMPHIS Ancient Stones Transferred From Old City on Nile to Ten nessee Zoo. ME! 'PHIS, Tenn. (A 3 ).—Two obelisks, which in 600 B.C. formed a doorway for the King Amasis, twenty-sixth dynasty, at old Memphis on the Nile, now rests in the zoological grounds of Memphis on the Mississippi. The stones, with their mysterious heiroglyphics, attractiveness and tre mendous weight were taken from the remains of old Memphis, a city which was destroyed by the waters of the Nile hundreds of years ago. The obelisks were brought to Mem phis about 15 years ago by the late Col. Robert Galloway, who was on a world tour. The stones were pur chased from a museum at Cairo, Egypt, with a fund subscribed by Memphis citizens. — —— Britain’s trade commissioner in India reports “a marked increase of commerce between India and the United States, which now ranks second only to Great Britain.” Aluminum f PERMIT c lheßcst OilinthclivSSd " Many motorists think j oil is oil, until they get acquainted with Autocrat Motor Oil.
