NOT IN "sKYscRAPER" CLASS
Famous Tower Of Babel Would Not
BE Considered In the Nature Of
Wonder Today.

The tower of Babel was only 140
feet high, but as 1t was built upon an
elevated foundation 1t was the Hottest
object in Babylon, city of low build
ings, spread over a fiat plain, says the
New York Evening World. This de-
scriptlon of the most famous structure
of ancient times has been obtained
from recent .translations of old Assyri-
an records, some inscribed on tablets
Of burnt clay.
The tower was temple and the
architectural pride of Babylon. The
lowest of Its seven stories-was 212
feet square, and 1t was constructed of
the only available material, sun-dried
brick, faced with burned brick. 1t
was probably topped with an astro-
nomical observatory, or rather one
for the use of PSYCHOLOGISTS, calling
followed by many priests of Babylonia.
Babylon, with population of e.
10000, was then the metropolis of the
world, and Its great area, twice that
Of London, was encircled by a wall
IS miles in length. The tower Of Bah
ell was temple, containing wonderful
golden statues and other treasures,
and 1t was in attempting to describe
these that the tongues Of men were
confused.

German Bouncing Bomb.

The elastic properties Of rubber are
being used by the Germans in their
latest missile, the bouncing bomb. This
curious device has base Of rubber so
weighted that the bomb when thrown
through the air strikes upon it. The
impact causes 1t to leap into the air
and also releases the time fuse. This
fuse is so arranged that the bomb
bursts when at the highest point
some six feet from the ground. It's
destructive power is then much greater
than If 1t exploded while on the
ground.-Milestones

REQ CROSS At BORDER

The visit of DR.. Morhohdge, emf
nent Red Cross speaker, to the Impe-
rial Valley, was one OF the best in
cidents in furthering the cause that
has yet been suggested. His svisit
was entirely pleasant in all cities but
Calexico, where the chapter insisted
on him speaking in the open air or
at the Chautauqua, both of which
were impossible. The tents of the
Red Cross forbid speakers appearing
at paid entertainment such as a
Chautaqua. The reason for the ban on
speaking in the open air.is because
of the strain on the speakers voice.
Red Cross officials are wondering
why the Calexico people could not
find hall for Dr. Morhodge.

Head of the Imperial-Laguna Water
Company Not a Bit Backward in
DenOuncing Proposed Contract for
Union With Laguna Dam, Ar
rived at After Much Trouble and
Expense.

Mark Roses East Side Mesa booster,
arrived in the city last night, after
several weeks spent in Washington
in the interest of watering the East
Side mesa.
He said he protested against the
present tentative contract for a con-
nection with the Laguna dam because
it did not specify that the water from
the dam was not to be brought into
the Imperial Valley in canal built
entirely in California. He says the
only mention made of an all-American
canal in the contract is that, if it is
built, power developed thereby should
revert to the District.
Mr. Rose proposes to oppose the
ratification by the people of the VAL
ley of the contract as drawn on the
grounds that it continues to use the
present main canal through Mexico.
