Manufacturers hotel last night for

MISCHA ELMAN WILL BE
MUSICAL CLUB ARTIST

MISCHA ELMAN, THE GREAT
Russian violin virtuosa will be the
artist to appear in Rock Island the
coming season under the auspices OF
the Rock Island Musical club. An
nouncement was made today that the
famous violinist had been secured for
recital at the Illinois theatre, Feb. b.
He is one OF the youngest of the great
artists on the concert stage, being but
% years of age. He has studied IN
der the greatest teachers of the world
and began when a small child and
rapidly gained the front rank in his
profession. His victrola records are
familiar and have delighted many.
The Rock Island Musical club did
not bring any great artist TO the city
last year; however, splendid entertain
ments complimentary to club mem
bers were given by Marion Green,
basso, and Miss Ethel Dougherty, pian-
ist. The club had considered the prop
osition of bringing Madame Melba and
I her company as the artist during the
coming year, but the company is toe
/ high priced for the club, with its linn
| tied auditorium facilities, to undertake
to finance and the proposition has
been dropped. Elman will prove a
great drawing card and will give a
concert of the very highest order.

They divided the areas into such small
subdivisions that maps have been pre-
pared which show exactly the kinds
of feed which grow on each acre, and
the time of year it is ready for graz
ing. The maps also show the stocks
water supply and indicate the kind OF
stock best suited to the area.
The investigation also showed the
examiners many areas covered with
fiourishing plants which apparently
should furnish excellent grazing, but
which were not Of a character relish
ed by stock; these areas, therefore
had little or no stock-carrying ca
pacity.
AS a result of the study, the forest
service announces that 1t will be N a
position to perfect its system of graz
ing management to bring about still
better conditions for both stock and
range.

JOY who wish to be careful about
what they eat, if they are building
bodies for health and efficiency; nour-
ishing soups, not too highly seasoned,
fresh vegetables and fruits carefully
prepared, a variety of salads, simple
made-up dishes and desserts. The
person who wants to make up lunch
without meat, not because of being
vegetarian in theory, but for the sake
of a balanced diet, or merely as a
matter of taste, finds that there are
! few places to get it,
Such simple home-like articles as
scalloped fish; spinach and egg salad,
meat and potato cakes, creamed eggs,
do not belong to the usual chefs menu,
but the public likes them if they are
good, and there should be some stand
ard for the term good" In the kitch-
en- of the ordinary public lunch room
there is not enough help to prepare
things carefully, and the chef has not
as high a standard as the housekeep,
err at home. Often he can do more
expensive and elaborate things better
but he is not interested in doing as
well as they can the plain, simple
things for which there is need in the
lunch room.
The result is that low quality, cheap
er materials and methods, and high
seasoning are substituted for econo
my. Cheaper materials figure very
largely where the proprietor is look

The recipes have to be made up il

Bible STORY OF
NOAH CONFIRMED
Hieroglyphics Written 1000 or
More Years Ago Tell
Old Tale.
GOES BACK TO CREATION
Interesting Discovery Made by Scien-
lists of the University CT
Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Aug 5.-The Bible
story of Noah and the flood is con-
firmed in many details by hieroglyph-
les written 1000 years ago, maybe
more, by a historian who lived in
ancient Babylon, according to an
nouncement made by the University OF
Pennsylvania.
The writing On a tablet-an epic OF
great length purporting to reach back
to the creation-has been deciphered
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 a mu-
scum expedition.
STORY BRIEFLY TOLD.
In strange symbols so finely written
that the entire poem is contained on
seven inches square, the historian
says in the beginning there were
seven gods, chief of which we're Anu
and EMIL, and a goddess, Nintu, and
Nintu it was who created mankind
whom she called my creations" Like
| the first chapter in Genesis, the Baby
lonian poem opens with the story OF
the creation.
Nintu, godmother of humans, is la
menting that the other gods seem
bent on their destruction, when the
/ poem reaches the narrative of the
food:
"At that time Nintu walled like q
| woman in travail" reads the 'transla
ton. The holy Ishtar walled on &C
count of the people Enki, god of wis
dom, held counsel with Anu, EMIL anC
Nintu over the proposed destruction
of mankind. Ziugidda, high priest o
Shuruppak, made obeisance to th'
gods and prayed, prostrating himsel
in humility"
BAByLONIAN NOAH.
The Ziugidda Of the Babylonians, i
is believed, was the Noah of the He
brews. The tablet tells of Ziugidda'
learning from the great god Enki tina
mankind was to be destroyed by
Tainstorm." Then comes description
of terrific wind and rains.
. After seven days the rainstorn
had passed over the land and carrie'
away the huge boat Then the SUI
god came forth, shedding light owe
heaven and earth. Ziugidda opene
, the roof of his ship and the light @
the sun was let in" says the tablet.
This version differs in respect t
the duraticn of the flood described j
Genesis. There it was said to last 4
days.
When the water subsidized Ziugidd
prayed 20 the gods with a loud voice
the poem continues, and sacrificed a
OK, q sheep and something with 6
, great horn" Through the intercessio
Of Nintu the gods forgave the survi'
ing human beings and gave them in
; mortality, which they did not losses
before the food.
