tional Rivers and Harbors Congress,

There is more for us to get to-
gether about" was the laconic way
in which S~enator-elect Joseph E.
Ransdell Of Louisiana, president Of
the congress, characterized the forth
coming meeting. There is much
yet to be done before the dreams of
the National Rivers and Harbors
congress is realized" continued Mr..
Ransdell, land we can not afford to
rest from our labors yet a while. A
comprehensive policy Of waterway
development must be written into
the laws of the nation and a yearly
supply bill for meritorious projects
must follow to the end that we may
live to see a number of the great pro-
jects completed"
Before leaving Washington for the
summer capital at Beverly, Mass,
President Taft stated to Mr.. Rams
del that he would be pleased to ad-
dress the congress during its sessions
in this city and it is also expected
that Governor Woodrow Wilson will
be present.

A Long Way Back.

The earliest authentic date that has
been handed down to US was inscribed
on the foundation stone Of the temple
to the sun god at Sippara by Naram-
Sin. son Of Sargon. This stone was ex-
humed by Nabonidus. who reigned over
Babylon about 554 B. O.. and 1t is as
serted that Naram-Sin ruled $500 years
previously. From these dates we learn
that the chronology OF Babylon began
with the reign Of Sargon L. king Of
Agade, $500 B. c.
