ALLIES STILL HUNGRY
AND CRYING FOR FOOD
FOOD
WILL WIN
THE
WAR

The allies arc still hungry and II you
can snare n little more flour, for Gods
sake send it," was the plea made re-
Gently by n British officer to an Amer
lean audience.
And who having heard it, having
realized the necessity for the cry from
the brave nations OF Europe. can help
saving wheat
There are two definite appeals to us
voiced hero.
Tho one is 10 patriotism and to CON-
mon sense. The allies cause is our
cause: our men arc fighting shoulder
10 shoulder with their men. IT food
fails the fighters must fail; the war
must he lost. None Of us is too igpor-
ant TO know what 4 German victory
would moan. especially 10 the women
aud children of the land. So. our love
of country, our love Of our homes. our
every instinct of sci representation must
make us do each thing, whether great
or small. towards victory.
The other appeal is that OF humanity.
Who can refuse TO deny himself because
Of his grccdincss. his love of his own
food habits. when the thought comes OF
tho allies suffering:
Can any ono with either sense or sem
sibili,y keep on eating wheat products
in tho present need? Does it not seem
pretty disgusting weakness to insist
upon having food requiring wnIrc flour

YOU can spare a little more flour. Tor

made public remarkable partial verifica-
ton OF DR.. Langdon's ideas from the very
people he has been studying so long the
Sumerians. Just before he returned to
England to enter the army he discovered
and translated a series of tablets contain
ing Liturgy TO the Word" From the
religious point of view it is important
chiefly in that it carries back the idea of
Logos some two thousand years. But from
tho popular viewpoint the interesting point
is that great part of the lengthy liturgy
now translated for the first time is de-
voted to a lamenta' O.. over the destruc-
ton of Ur.
At the same time the Museum has made
public brief account by DR.. A. u. Sayce,
the noted Oxford scholar. of some Cappa-
docian tablets found in the University Mu-
scum. He states:
I'VE now know the date to which the
tablets must be assigned. The forms Of
the characters and the proper names be
long to the period of the Third Dynasty OF
Ur, before Christ 25OO and one of them
is dated in the reign of a king OF that dy-
nasty. They show that at that early epoch
eastern Asia Minor was under the control
of the Babylonian government and that
Babylonian civilization was firmly planted
there"
In this region, inhabited by the Hit
tites, women had almost the same status
as men. Nearly every reference on one OF
the tablets to a prefect, who ruled over
the cities, is followed by a reference TO
the prefectess, or woman mayor.
Although the discovery by DR.. Sayce is
the first definite indication that women
enjoyed positions of authority in the gov
ernment of ancient civilization, sharing
with men presumably on basis of equal
ity, the lore of all BabylOnia is replete
with records showing that wOman's place
was almost as important in those days
as it is to-day, and far more so than up to
the beginning of the nineteenth century.
And in many respects the laws of Sumer
and Babylon regarding women were far
superior-from the viewpoint OF the
woman-to present day statutes.

again, provided he got his divorce for the
purpose of taking another wife, or for any
reason not her fault. Also, at the time of
his death under these circumstances she
was entitled to a definite share of his
estate.
Officials of the University Museum are
inclined to believe that further study Of
Cappadocian tablets in their possession,
and excavations in other sections of Meso-
lpotamia, will show that even further back
In antiquity women enjoyed great share
of influence and authority. One reason for
this is the fact that the most important
God of the Sumerians and Babylonians
was Ishtar, also known as Nintud, who,
according to the ancient legend, created

men out Of clay. 1t was when the Assyr-
ians came down from Nineveh and the
cult of lshtar began to lose ground that
woman started to lose her ancient inde-
pendence and place Of equality with men
CRppadocia, as 1t is now known, the
home OF the Hittites, was under the con-
troll Of Babylon. The discovery by DR..
Sayee that women had authority in the.
government there is interesting as tending
to show that the ancient Babylonians even
extended the unusual womsn's rights of
their time to the women Of subject ma
tions. 1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that the Armenians of to-day
claim to be the direct descendants Of the
Hittites.

odes and liturgies of the Sumerians and
later Babylonians were either copied from.
or inspired by, library of knowledge still
older. In expressing this belief he said:
''Nippur is no longer a virgin field. Ex.
eavations have been made by the Germans,
the English and the American museums at
other points, too. But am convinced that
in spite of all the great discoveries which
have been made in the last dozen years
the work so far accomplished has hardly

The best instance of this is found in the
large collection of marriage contracts en-
graved in clay tablets in the University
Museums collection. Hundreds of these
semi-private documents were found in the
temple archives at Nippur They show
that when a woman married she entered
into an elaborate civil contract with her
husband, the main purpose Of which seems
TO have been to protect her legal rights in
any difficulty that might arise later.
The laws of all Babylonia would seem
drastic to the worst victims of alimony
