SIDELIGHT ON
I G COST LIVING
II ousekeepers Buy Too
Small Quantities Arizona
4 Dealers Say. '....

Bisbee, Ark, Aug. 6.--A committee
of the Warren District Commercial
club, which has a membership in
several towns surrounding Bisbee, re-
Gently submitted a report Of the high
cost of living, together with facts and
figures regarding wage scales, freight
rates, etc. Criticism Is directed against
marketing methods, particularly Of
housekeepers. Following are some Of
the findings along this line:
"A housekeeper can buy w pounds
OF fish for 40 cents, but orders 1t sliced
for frying and pays so cents,
Boiled homeless han is generally
purchased and the added cost Is from
20 to 40 per cent.
Coffee is bought ground and in tin
packages, instead of bought in the bean
and ground in the kitchen.
Few buy a side of bacon and slice 1t
as needed. They buy In small guam
titles, enough for n meal at a time,
and pay to have II sliced as well. The
result is an increase in cost Of 40 per
cent.
Crackers are bought In paper ar
toons, when a ten pound wooden box
would keep them dry and crisp and
could be purchased for 40 per cent less.
There is a tendency to depart from
the methods of buying pr~acticed in the
past and an absence of to be
found on all sides. This explains an
added cost Of living OF at least % per
Gent and probably more to the average
family"

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 5.-The bible
tory Of Noah and the flood Is con-
irmed in many details by h~ieroglyphics
written at least 1000 years ago, by a
historian who lived in ancient Babylon,
according to announcement made last
night by the University OF Pennsyl-
vania. The writing on a tablet. an
epic Of great length purporting to reach
back to the creation has been de-
yaiphered at the museum OF the univer-
sity by DIR. Arno Poebel. the announce
ynent says: The tablet. said to be the
oldest ever rescued from oblivion, was
lug up in Nippur several years age
by a museum expedition.
In strange symbols so finely written
that tbs entire poem Is contained on
seven inches square, the primitive his
torian harks back to the beginning OF
ell things. There were seven gods
chief OF which were Anu and Enlutl
and q goddess. Nintu, the tablet says,
Nintu, 1t a who created mankind
Whom she called "my creations" Like
the first chapter OF Genesis the Baby
the creation. Nintu. godmother OF hu-
mans, is 'amenting that the other gods
seem benz IN their destruction.
Story Of the Flood.
AT that time Nintu walled like a
woman in travail" reads the transla-
ton. "The holy Ishtar walled on &C
count of the people. Enki, god Of wis
Nintu over the proposed destruction OF
mankind. Ziugidda, high priest OF
Shuruppak. made obeisance to the gods
and prayed p~rostrating himself in hui
mility.
The Ziugidda Of the B~abylonians. II
Is believed, vas the Noah of the He
brews. Vhe tablets tell Of ~Ziugidda's
49, ~ NJ
that mankind was to be destroyed by
q rain storm" Then comes a de-
scription of terrific wind and rains.
After seven days the rainstorm had
passed over the land and carried away
the huge boat. Then the sun-god came
forth, shedding light over heaven and
earth. Ziugidda opened the roof OF
his ship and the light OF the sun-god
was let in This version differs in
respect to the duration of the flood de-
scribed in Genesis There 1t was said
to have lasted 40 days.
When the water subsidized Ziugidda
prayed to the gods with a loud voice
the poem continues, and sacrificed an
OK, sheep and something with "a
great harm" Through the intercessior
Of Nintu the gods forgave the surviv-
ing human beings and gave them ina
mortality. which they did not possess
before the flood.
DR.. Poebel has announced he will
make public later a literal translation
Of the epic. From other tablets found
by the expedition, It would appear. the
announcement says that AGO, 900 years
interviewed between creation and the
flood. although one epic writer asserted
with painstaking accuracy hat the ex-
act time was 1929 years. some months
(exact number undecipherable) and Is
days.
The particular tablet on which the
story of the flood was written. the an
n"ouncerlent says, may be as old as
4.4OO. years and is reasonably certain
to be no more recent than the reign
of Hamurabi, about 2.100 B. c. 1t Is
regarded as the worlds most ancient
historical writing and Is in a fairly
good state Of preservation.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. Sit is not
certain today whether the state will
appeal from the decision knocking out
the law ordering low rates to the state
fair. 1t is claimed the decision, in
holding that railroads cannot discrim-
mate in favor of certain cities and fairs
in ordering low rates. has given the
state a weapon with which to oppose
the railroads in granting reduced rates
to points outside of Iowa end discrim-
mating in favor of other states against
Iowa. The decision works both ways.
Attorney General Cosson would not say
what action he will take, but will prob
ably attack the granting of a perma-
nent injunction later in the fall.
