PLeW Is MOST ANCIENT TOOL
Has Been Used by Man Since He First
Attempted to Make the Earth
His Servant.

Three very ancient implements have
been used in human industry-the
pillow. the sword ard the pen. OF the
three, the oldest is the pillow. \ his
tory of the development of this ag-
ricultural tool would take US back
through centuries to the time when
man began to subdue he earth and
make il his servant. Thousands of
pillow models are now 10 be seen in the
patent office ut Washington. These
tell us what has been done by invent
ors in recent years, hut there is a long
story back Of these plows.
From his study of a Babylon brick,
in the museum of the University of
PENNSYLVANIA. Doctor Clay concluded
that he had found a true picture of
the first pillow, which was invented by
Abraham. For his proof that Abra-
ham was the inventor of the pillow,
Doctor Clay refers us 10 the Book of
Jubilees." which was published in the
second century p. C. This book says
that the BabylonianS were punished
because they had yielded TO satan.
and that the form of their punishment
was that the ravens came and ate UP
the grain they had sowed in the fields.
Abraham devised an instrument that
should sow the seed in a furrow, in
order that ii might be covered up so
that the birds of the air could not eat
it. The apparatus shown on the en-
cient brick is a sort of combination
pillow. planter and harrow. 1t required
three men to operate il. When the
people sowed according TO AbrahaE's
commands, they feared neither the IA
vens nor the birds. Whatever the
value of the story in the Book of
JuhileeS" the brick. at least, gives a
picture of perhaps the most ancient
tool used by man.

in the little Republic of Santo Do
mingo. While peace has been estab-
lished throughout the greater part of
the island, an occasional brush with
bandits and other lively happenings
provide plenty of excitement and adj
venture for the local boy. Perry, who
is a son of Peter F. Du Mez, Wauwa-
tosa, enlisted in the United States Ma
rine Corps at its Milwaukee recruit
ing station on Oct. Is, 1916.
Considerable local interest is being
manifested in the proposed Lincoln
Chautauqua which is contemplated for
June or July of this year. The two
Wauwatosa Women's clubs have the
matter in hand now in order to ascer
tain to what extent our people will
interest themselves. Give them your
assistance by telephoning one of their
members that you will take SEATS.
Quick action is necessary if we wish
to secure the attractions.
The Wauwatosa Dancing club en-
tertained the ladies of the club at a
dinner followed by dancing at the

Kearney on "Wauwatosa": Mr.. w
Getz on THE Club, and Mr.. Wilcox
on the Ladies'; a standing toast to
the absent Members" concluded the
toast of the evening.
The Railroad Commission has found
that the complaint Of the city of
Wauwatosa against the c.. NJ & St F.
Ry., relative to the 59th and 61st
street crossings is justified and has
ordered the company to station flag
man at each crossing from a. m.
to p. M, and to place at each cross
ing movable warning signal similar
to that now at West Main street.
Sheriff McManus has placed a ban
on all-night music and dancing in
roadhouses on the Blue Mound road,
of which he proposes to make a gen
eral cleanup" He has ordered that
all music be stopped at a. m. 81

line" he said. "There is no reason
why roadhouses cannot be just as or
derby as any other place" This
sounds good.
