Miss Frederick contributes one of the most powerful and sympathetic char acterizations in all filmdom.

 Among the discoveries in tAe archaeo- logical excavations in ancient Baby lonia are some stone ta blets believed to have been used as schooIbooks in the first regular school ever held in the world. They are in the. collection of the University of Pennsylvania.
 These prehistoric text books have marks proving that they were used in school conducted in a temple in Nip pur more than 2,30o years B. C. This school is known to have been in ex- istence at least 1000 years, and no records have yet been found to indi- cate the existence of any preceding it. The tablets contain notes upon several sciences, evidently made upon the stone surface by stylus. Several of them contain two forms of characters, indicating that the pupils attempted to copy the work of the teacher.

MIND A BLANK
 FOR 2 MONTHS,
 HE COMES HOME
Bridgeporter Found Wander ing In New York Identifies
 Self by Paper.

Following a two months absence from his home, 157 Coleman street, this city, during which he has contin- uously wandered in an aphasic condi- ton throughout Connecticut, New York and portions of New Jersey, John Bruce Irving has revived his memory and is now at home in this city.
 During the interim, Mrs. Irving, though distracted at her husbands ab- sence, has continued his business in this city and it isf in shape to. again be taken Up by Irving after a few days rest.
 The disappearance of Irving, on March 20, ,when he is known to have purchased a ticket at the local rail- road station, created a sensation in police circles. Every effort was made to locate him, but it was through the medium of notice published in a. New York paper that friends of IT, wing found him wandering about the streets of New York. ~~
 He did not know his own name or condition and he was taken to a home in Hoboken, N. J., where rest and quiet brought him to consciousness. He was shown the cHpping4son Satur- day and immediately became rational. He insisted upon returning to this city lunaccompanied. His wife met him at the train.
 None will know the wanderings of Irving, for during the two months, his mind is a blank. With plenty of money in his pockets and under an- ether personality he wandered about Such instances are frequent in medi- cal science, usually resulting from blows upon the. head or overwrought nerves. While under such a spell the person is apparently sane though un- aware of any previous identity.
