ANCIENT WRITING.
The History of Man Began When an
Alphabet Was Devised.

Alphabet Was Devised.
Perhaps the most valuable inven
ton after the making of languages
was that Of writing. says a writer i'm
students Investigations" Picture
writing was the first used by primi
tive men, such as was and still is used
by the Indian tribes OF the new world.
The characters in this system of writ
ing were pictures of objects very crude
in art, as for instance the picture Of
the eye. to indicate the organ OF sight.
and then again symbols for ideas were
drawn, such as Il picture OF an arc.
representing the sky and wavy lines
beneath. thus indicating rain. This
system Of representing ideas and OBJ
jects, which il the most natural 10
man. is known as Geographic. and the
signs are called kilograms.
When the picture writer used SYM
bols to represent the sounds OF the
human voice-that is. words and not
objects or ideas-he took great step
in perfecting the system Of writing
When symbols are used TO represent
words the ideogram becomes n phono-
gram. and the writing IS called pho
netic or sound writing The BabylOni-
ans and ASsyrians used characters TO
represent syllables instead of words.
thus reducing the number of signs
used i'm their writing to n few hun
dred When characters or symbols
are used TO represent syllables they
are called syllable phonograms. and
collection OF such signs Is called syl-
labary.
But still this system was clumsy.
and n final step was taken i'm the max
ing of an alphabet. the symbols being
used to represent elementary sounds
Of the human voice instead OF sylla.
bles. The symbols then became true
letters. q collection Of which is called
the alphabet. the writing alphabet
When and where the first alphabet
was made Is not known. but several
Semitic tribes were I'm possession of
an alphabet as early AZ the ninth cen

that the history of man begins here.

BASEBALL OUTLOOK
FOR THE WEEK

Ocala expects the Leesburg nine
here for a game next Thursday after
noon. Leesburg has been playing in
a Lake county league, and has made
n good showing The team IS a good
one. and a first-rate game may be ex-
pected.
1t is possible that the Ocala team
viii play its first game off its own
diamond this season in Gainesville,
Friday, as there is a prospect that it
will go to the University City for a
return game on that date. Ocala put
it all over Gainesville the last time
the two teams met, and of course
Gainesville will do its best TO get
even on this occasion, so if the Ocala
fans want to see a strenuous game
they should go along in force to root
for the home team.
1t is about settled that Ocala will
visit Clearwater next week, in which
case the members of the team and
friends who will accompany them will
have a good time as well as see some
good games.
All things considered, we are hav-
ing a good baseball summer.

DAVID LLOYD GEORGE
is A DRIVER
Under His Direction Manufacture of
Ammunition has Immensely
Increased
Increased

London, July 2 Correspondence of
the Associated Press)-David Lloyd
George, minister of munitions, has
proved himself a man of "push and
go" in his new office The hustle that
pervades the new department would
do credit to an American business
firm. During the first week of its ex-
istence it opened 400 local bureaus for
recruiting munitions workers; set up
a large central staff; wrote and plac-
ed eighty ful1-page newspaper adver-
tisements; issued 100000 posters
and leaflets; and organized other
plans for pushing munitions work in
every section of the country.
The home of the department, in
White Hall Gardens, has been built up
around it while at work. Carpenters
were still setting up walls and par
titions around the officials at the end
of the first week, and a number of
typewriters and stenographers were
temporarily accommodated in a bath
room. Lloyd George and the members
of his personal staff worked sixteen
hours a day. Within three days the
returns from their nationwide cam
paign for munitions laborers was
found to be in excess of all expecta-
tions.

The Star feels sorry for the Ocala
policemen, who have to remain wrap
ped up in their heavy coats while on
duty during this hot weather. The
writer spent the summer a number of
years ago in western town where
the police were allowed to dispense
with their coats in hot weather. The
police department thought that their
caps, badges and belts were uniform
enough; the cops were comfortable
and did their duty as well as tho they
had been swaddled to the ears in
coats. Why shouldn't Ocala's police
be allowed to do the same way?
