ANCIENT RABYLONlAN
 TABLET AT YALE
Work Believed to Have Been BuriSd 1000 Years Ago Contains Ear
 Hest Law Code Npown

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 29.--A Babylonian tablet. believed to have been buried in the earth for more than 4000 years and containing the earliest law code known has recently been unearthed and is now in pos session of Yale university, it became known today. The tablet is heavily cncrusted, but part of it has been cleaned and deciphered. The laws are written in the Sumerian lan- guage, the language of southern Ba bylonia, prior to its conquest by the Semites or Arcadians in the time of Hammura hi.
 Owing to the imperfect knowledge of the language, the work of deci- phering is extremely difficult, but the university expects to have com pletc translations made and pub liShed.

 Articles which come under the head of luxuries, although in ordinary times they seem to be the barest necessities, may form interesting work for the child charitably inclined. These are con- tained in the "domfort bag" which is made of cretonne, varying in price from the very cheap to the very expensive. The bags contain things which may give unexpected pleasure to the soldiers during their leisure camping moments. Suggestions for contents: Pad, pencil, envelopes, postcards, playing cards, tall cum powder, soap. wash cloth. tooth brush, safety pins, handkerchiefs and vaseline.

and are made of plain square pieces, simply hemmed at the edges.
 Knitted articles which may be of service to the men in the war are nu- merous. Some are simply made, such as the wristlets, the shawls and the abdominal bands. Others, including heelless socks, for hospital use, and the cap are more difficult, and only the older girl should attempt them. In knitting these articles use only the all wool yarn, for, although it is slightly more expensive, it gives more warmth, and 1t were better to make fewer and make them well than to make num- bers and cause added suffering to the soldiers. This wool retails for s1.S5 a pound, pound containing four skeins, or hanks.
 Abdominal belts are important for warmth. A simple way of making them is to cast from 160 to 200 stitches on No. 13 steel needles. Knit three inches ribbed (knit two, purl two): knit on to two No. bone needles and knit eight inches plain. Knit on to steel needles

To Make the Soldier Comfortable

F your children have desired to as- sist in the preventive work for wounded soldiers, perhaps you will be gratified to learn of ways into which their little services may count for real effectiveness, for there are many things of exceeding simplicity which are greatly needed by the Red Cross and other relief societies and which the child can we'll do.
 Perhaps the point to fix in mind firmly before choosing what shall be made is how it is to be made The pat tern should not be too large or small for possible use The materials, too, should be of good quality.
 If your child can knit there are the abdominal bands, for which yarn that is all wool should be used instead of that which is partly cotton and wool, for the difference in the resultant warmth is enormous. In making band ages use unbleached muslin, which is inexpensive, but do not use cheese cloth.
 Bandage Making Interesting.
 The making of bandages is very in teresting and can be done by the very little girl. All that is necessary is small machine for rolling which is not very expensive. This machine is es sential, for nurses and physicianSrNan- not use the hand rolled bandages, as they are not sufficiently firm or even. There is a greater need of bandage rolls than Of any other single article and one cannot make too many of them.
 The bandage rollers range in price from s1.75 to s2.75 and are simple lit tie contrlvances having a central rod, ends and a handle for turning. The bandage rolls may be three or four inches wide and seven yards long and are preferably of unbleached muslin, which costs about or cents a yard. The should be fastened at the ends by a few stitches and should not be pin- ned.
 Gauze Pads Simple to Make.
 Simply made, too, are the gauge pads. They are nine inches square, of eight thicknesses, made from piece of gauze one yard wide and one-h half yard long and folded. Cotton sWabs, too, can be made by the child whose hands are just beginning to obey her behests. They are merely bits of absorbent cotton, made in circular swabs about an inch sn diameter and at one side twisted up into tight little handle. The bandages should be done up in packages of twelve and firmly tied. and the pads in tied packages of twenty-five Hand kerch!efs of muslin are very acceptable

W|LAELh|NA'S CARGO
 TO 60 TO CIVILIANS
German Ambassador Gives CuaTan-
 tee to United States.

New York, Jan. 29-Count Vor Bernstoff, ambassador to the United States has given guarantee that the cargo of foodstuffs on board of the American steamship Wilhelmina, now on the high seas bound for Hamburg, Germany will not reach the German government or it's naval l or military forces.
 The guarantee was given at the solicitation of attorneys for the w. l.. Green Commission company of St. Louis, shippers of the cargo, who fear seizure of the ship by war vessels of the allies, and desire. they say, to be free from suspicion that they have sent the foodstuffs for any other purpose than for sale to the civil population.
 Letter Made Public.
 Count Won Bernstorff's letter con- taining the guarantee was made
 public yesterday by Norvin L. Lind helm, of counsel for the shippers, and is as follows: 1T have noted from your letter of January 23 that the w. l.. Green Commission company of St. Louis, Mo-, has shipped on the steam ship Wilhelmina foodstuffs to Ham, burg for the exclusive consumption of the civil population of Germany. I, as representative of the German government, guarantee to you that the foodstuffs will not reach the Ger man government, it's agents or con- tractors, nor the military and naval forces. I will further take the nec- essary steps which will insure that the German government will not make use of it's right of pre-emption
 "Ihe order of the German. federal
 council, which is at present being commented upon in the press has merely been issued to prevent food
 stuffs at present in Germany from being cornered and speculated with, thus bringing about an imitation
 of their prices. At any rate, the or der does not affect foodstuffs import ed from neutral countries and in tended exclusively for non-combat- ants.
 "I shall at once communicate in this matter with the state depart ment and advise you later.'
 Left January 22.
 The Wilhelmina, flying the Amer ican flag, left this port on January
 22. Counsel for the w. L. Green Commission company, charterers of the ship, announced at that time that if the Wilhelmina was detained or seized the company would file a protest that the cargo was condi- tional contra band, denying the right of a belligerent warship to confls- cate it, and requesting the United States to de mand the immediate release of both ship and cargo.
