TOLD IN BIERoGLYPHicS
TRACED 1000 YEARS AGO
story of Noah and the Flood Con-
firmed From Writings of
Historians.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6-The
Bible story Of Noah and the flood is
confirmed in many details by hero
glyphics written 1000 years ago
maybe more--by historian who liv-
ed in ancient Babylon, according to
announcement made by the Uniyer-
sitv OF Pcnusylyaia, The writing on
a tablet an epic of great length pur-
porting to reach back to the creation
has been deeiphered at the museum
of the university by Dr.. Arno Poebel,
the announcement says. The tablet
said to be the Oldest ever rescued
from oblivion, was dug up in Nippur
several years ago by museum ex-
petition,
In strange symbols so finely writ
ten that the entire poem is contained
on seven inches square, the primitive
historian hanks back to the beginning
of all things. Then there were seven
gods, chief of which were Anu and
Emil, and a goddess, Niutu, the tab
let says. Nintu, it was, who created
mankind, whom she called my ere
atoms"
The Ziugidda higth priest of the
Babylonians. it is believed was the
Noah Of the Hebrews The tablet
tells Of ziugiddas learning from the
great god, Enki, that mankind was
to be destroyed by rainstorm.'
Then comes a description of terrific
winds 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 root of his ship and the light OF
the sun-god was let in" This yer
sion differs in respect to the duration
of the flood described in Genesis
There it was said to last forty 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 horn Through The intercession
of Ninu the gods forgave the sur
yiying human beings and gave them
Immortality which they did not pos

Dr. Poebel has announced that ne
will make public later literal trans
lation Of the epic From other tablets
found by the expedition, It would APP

He moved silently behind the palms
toward the exit

tinued Flora. II have always hated
you. with your supercilious airs, you,

throwing hauteur to the winds. He
is kind and brave and loyal, and
am proud of him. Say what you

in the least
The Barone heard no more. By
degrees he had reached the exit, and
he was nightly relieved to get out
side. The Calabrian had chosen her
time well, for the conservatory was
practically empty. The Baroness
eyes searched the shadows and at
length discerned Abbott leaning over
the parapet.
"Ahl" said Abbott, facing about.

scratched off my name and substitute
ed your own. It was the act of q con-
temptible cad. And l tell you here
and now. A cad!'
The barone was italian. He had
sought Abbott with the best inten-
tions; to apologize abjectly, distaste-
full though it might be to his hot
blood. Instead, he struck Abbott
across the mouth, and the latter
promptly knocked him down.

Using the Hammock
for Baby's Comfort

One particularly busy young mother
has found a winter use for the couch
hammock which all summer long
swung at an end of her porch. She
has provided steel chains and hangers
by which 1t may safely be suspended
from the wood trim of the living room
ceiling, and also an extra wind-break
Of half the height of that crossing the
back of the couch. For the baby to
tumble out of this irnprovised crib is
an impossibility. and instead of TAX
ing up rocker space, the hammock
may be raised half the height of the
room, well out of harms way.
Another ingenious young mother
conceived the idea of swinging her
hammock-couch across her own bed
and about two feet above It. Its
firmly braced canvas sides are Just
high enough to keep the baby from
rolling out, and do not in the least in
terfere with it's supply of fresh air.
The swaying Of the hammock couch
is less jerky than is that of the cradle,
and consequently is more soothing, to
the baby.

Home Conveniences

Enameled tin egg holders with
spaces for twelve eggs each will be
found practical to keep eggs from
breaking either in the refrigerator or
the pantry. They are lasting and
more sanitary than pasteboard
makeshifts in which eggs sometimes
come from market.
If one has had tea leaves, flakes of
cereal or ground coffee spill as she
empt:ed a portion from their hold
ers she will appreciate a sanitary
spout cap.
II is a metal cover that may be
screwed on any glass preserve jar.
In the top is a swinging chute"
that drops down as the jaw on which
it is placed is tipped or inverted.
The contents may then be poured
out without spilling. and the jar is
closed when set again on its bottom.
Sanitary sink pals are a combina-
ton of garbage receptacle and sink
strainer.
The latter is a dome shaped per
forated lid hinged to 2 two-quart

Weren't They Mean 2
Dear Miss Doom;

Dear Miss Doom;
I am a young lady of twenty and
have a number of friends who are
my age and a few who are my SEN
Tor.
One of my friends asked a number
of boys and girls to her house last
Sunday. There was an even number
of boys and girls. Before going nome
it started to rain and the girls were
without umbrellas and lived in differ
ent parts of the city. The boys. were
all from Irvington Was 1t right Tor
the girls to let the boys go home at
IL D. IN. alone? Do you think our
hostess did right in allowing the boys
to go home and the girls to go nome
alone?
We have known the boys over a
year and they have never acted in
this manner. They were not angry
with the girls that night. Do you
think the girls will be doing wrong
in refusing to talk with the boys, as
they see each other very often?
TROUBLED.
The boys were decidedly lacking In
politeness and deserve to be snubbed.
Let them see that you expect more
courteous treatment. There Is no
reason why you should blame your
hostess, however. 1t wasn't up TO
her" to tell the boys what was re-
CURED of them. They should have
