LAW CODE 1900 YEARS OLD
Acts on sabyIonian Tablet Provided
for EIopement and for Injury to
Women.

New Haven. Gonna Babylonian
tablet, believed to have been buried
in the earth more than four thousand
years and containing the earliest law
code, recently has been unearthed. and
Is now in possession of Yale univer-
sity. The tablet Is heavily encrusted
but part of 1t has been cleaned and
deciphered.
The laws are written in the Sumer-
ian language. the language Of South
ern Babylonia, prior to its conquest
by the Semites or Accadians. in the
time of Hammerabi. Owing to the
imperfect knowledge of the language.
the work of deciphering is extremely
difficult, but the university expects to
have complete translations made and
published.
The laws that have been translated
refer to legislation; concerning injury
to women; the reputation Of children
who have perhaps been adopted: elope-
ment; the hire of boats and cattle:
and provision for. the killing of hired
OK by a lion.
These laws are believed to have
been written about $500 B. C.

On an average the senators of to-
