This new account of the creation

amount IF light on the early ideas of
the Babylonian and The Sumurains
Like the missing laws OF Hamu-

ago at the university by DIR Arno

ton and the flood was found In GO

Some New Features.
The new features Of the tablet are
many. but as this is the earliest known
commentary on cosmology, geology
and anthropology, the more striking
novel features of the tablet may be
grouped in this manner:
First 1t was a GODDESS who Great
ed mankind. She was known as The
BlackHeaded." from the color OF her
hair.
Second. The document explains
some of the characteristics Of the
goddess, and many are suggested in
other ways. For example. It refers
TO her as the equal of gods.
Third 1t names the first seven
antediluvian cities and the special
god of each.
Fourth. The older Babylonian
name of the scriptural Noah is Ziu-
gidda--this was never known in his
tory before.
Fifth. The deluge ruins OF the an
tediluvian cities were not all de-
stroyed, some not until prehistoric
times. This confirms much OF the
theories OF archaeologists who never
had any written documentary proof
of their beliefs.

application on the same bill to Judge
r. Fl. Cardweli, of the Supreme Court
of Appeals. who without notice to the
defendants, granted the injunction.
and remanded 1t to the Circuit court
Of Prince Edward for further order.
The defendants applied to Judge South
all to dissolve the injunction granted by
Judge Cardwell, which he did. but sus-
pended the operation of It's order until
4 O'Clock August 4th, in order to give
the complainant an opportunity to ap-
ply to one OF the judges of the Supreme
Court of Appeals for a writ of appeal
and supersedeas. Wall INN ediately
filed a supplemental bill to his original
bill, asking for an additional injunction
to restrain the county committee from
using ballots which had been printed by
the order of the chairman OF the county
committee. This supplemental bill on
being presented to Judge Southall was
dismissed.
Wall then without attempting to APP
peal from the decision of Judge South
all dissolving the Injunction. applied
to Judge r. II. Cardwell on his supple
mental bill for an injunction restrain
ing the use OF the printed tickets hay
ing Winstons name thereon: the coun-
ty committee from calling any other
primary election; the election judges
from counting any vote that might be
cast for Winston. Upon this applica-
ton Judge Cardwell granted an In
junction in accordance with the bill
which Injunction became operative that
day August 4th.
No Primary Held.
The result was that no primary for
the house of delegates was held Tues
day and II la now too late to call an
other primary. Should the four other
judges of the Supreme Court of APP
peals decide that Winston Is eligible no
remedy could be accorded and in no
way could the matter be settled in a

legislators have their eyes on plans
which the Japanese are said to be
forming in an effort to nullify the new
alien land law which becomes efiec-
tive next week, and will probably take
steps to circumvent the Japanese at
the next session of the legislature.
They are combining their farm land
units and Incorporating stock campan-
les in the belief that the stock in the
corporations upon their death may be
transferred to heirs.
The maximum life granted to do
nestle corporation under the Califor-
mia law is fifty years. All of the Jap
anese corporations that have been or
ganized since the alien bill was passed
are formed for the limit.
The California law also provides that
a corporation is privileged to rein
on the expiration of its
chapter.

Fred w. Jackson of the Jackson
Auto company came near meeting
with serious accident yesterday
afternoon, and as it was he got a few
burns and a blister Oh the ball of his
right eye.
He was pouring hot babbit metal
into the boxing of an electric motor
which he is overhauling for the In
dependence mine. From some un-
known cause the hot metal blew out
with great force, the bulk of it pass
ing Mr.. Jackson's face, but portion
of it struck him, small particles go
ing into his eyes, nearly binding him
for a time.
He went at once to the office of DR..
J. ]. Raaf, who extracted quite good
size piece of metal from the right
eye. Mr.. Jackson went back to the
shop and continued his work, but his
eyes gave him much pain.-Wood

short, now, you see it and now you
don't. Three men went to see the
elephant and all of them were blind.
But the best story of all comes from
a middle western state where fifty
associated real estate men have pc
titioned President Wilson to appoint
as minister to Mexico Theodore
Roosevelt, our own Teddy who is just
now supposed to be raising a coupe
of companies of Arizonans who will
follow the colonel to victory or death.
These real estate agents had just
been down in Mexico with a lot of
prospective buyers-and returning
safe, on the way home resoluted anc
forwarded their request TO the White
House. All of which goes to show
that Mexico is not as dangerous for
Yankees as some folks would like to
have us believe. Also it conclusively
proves that the true real estate man
always has his cheek along with him
There is little fear of Teddy's Le-
ing asked to go to Mexico as minister,
though he might be betrayed into
leading a filibustering expedition into !
that distracted land, more particular
ly if his friends the real estate men
can rouse his chivalry with their
tale of woe.

NOW YOU SEE 1T - NOW YOU
DON'T.

DON'T.
Most of us have read the story o.
the three blind men who went to see
the elephant because they had heard
so much about the beast. Number
one approaching the animal from the
rear and laying hold of its tail de-
clared This elephant is very much
like rope" Number two put his
hand on the beasts huge ear and said
Der three stopped down and catching
the animals leg, cried "This elephant
is very like post" 1t is a good
story, and told by one of our Yankee
rhymsters in tolerable verse it en-
phasizes the fact that "all of them
were blind"
The moral of this tale certainly ap-
plies to our current news from Mex
leo, concerning which unhappy coun-
try you can read all sorts, colcred
by the sort of spectacles each news
writer wears. For example here is
the letter direct from Mexico, and de-
claring that the non-recognition Of
the Huerta government has lost nit
lions to this country. On the other
hand one j. A. Kent, an eastern fin
ancier, who stands to lose million
or more on his Mexican investments, |
boldly declares that he wants no in
terence from Uncle Sam to protect |
his interests. He'd rather lose it all |
than have one drop of American blood |
shed in its protection.

LATEST MODES AND FASHIONS

NEW YORK, Aug. Modes for the
school girl are beginning to attract
attention. Here, of course, one expects
to find service combined with the
maximum amount of style, and judg-
| ing from the latest models the greatest
expectations are met fully. In this age
of sanitary ideas, the tub frock plays
an important part, consequently each
new season sees additions to the list
of fabrics classed as washable.
Tub Examines, eponges, ratines and
linaires are among the new things for
school dresses this season. These are
added to the already long list con-
tanning such favorites as Devonshire
linen, madras, khaki and galatea. The
heavier materials lend themselves bet
ter to tailored effects and the darker
colors stand a great deal of wear be-
fore it is necessary to wash them.
Linen and Cotton Mixtures.
Hand and machine embroideies are
considered among the smartest trim
mings for frocks of all occasions:
sharing favor with these, however, are
handsome coarse laces of linen and
linen and cotton mixtures. Plaid eff
fects, used for vests, collars and cuffs
are the leaders among the really prac-
teal trimmings. They are used also in
the forms of buttons distributed down
either side of the front of a blouse. on
the skirt and about the neck and
sleeves.
All of the pretty frocks are not de-
signed for practical use, however, ncr
is the demand exclusively for these
models In the midst of mi lsu1nmer

Many limitations.

1t is difficult nowadays for any one
except a connoisseur to tell the diff
pearls and the marvellous limitations
procurable at moderate prices, but
weight is always sure proof of gen
uine pearls. Imitation pearls or even
ordinary pearl beads, gradually ac-,
quire the warm, translucent tint of the
real pearls by contact with the flesh,
and the woman who is presented with
a moderately priced string of pearl
beads should wear it night and day
for a month until the beads lose the
chalk white shade of newness and take
on the warm, creamy tint that is con-
sidered so beautiful.
