scholars in India who have examined the
find arc likewise puzzled, hut from the de

arc Convinced that the tablet Is similar
to those found in Babylonia and probably
had its origin there thopsands OF years ago
The Importance OF the tablet, il this be

evidence found IN india to support rcfcr-'

When the movement which has now

the problems in connection with the
use and abuse of alcoholic drink. Tenn
perance, of course, primarily means
moderation, while prohibition, as used
In this connection, means form Of
sumptuary legislation abOlishing rhe
manufacture and sale of alcoholic IL
quors. In the early days temperance
was loosely used; sometimes it meant
moderation and sometimes total abstj~
nence. Many of the first crusades were
against "spirits" liquors as
distinguished from wines and beer
Early temperance pledges We're often
framed to draw this distinction. How
ever, the word Temperance as used in
the titles and constitutions of reform
organizations soon came to mean :otal
abstinence.
This temperance movement, which

society was organized by the farmers

the campaign for the sale of these
smaller sscurities had been a sort Of
hit or miss affair, good, bad, or indif-
ferent, depending on the efficiency and
enthusiasm Of local organizations.
Several months ago 1t was decided to
put the sales organization Of War
Savings Stamps in the hands Of L.
b. Franklin, national director of four
successful Liberty Loan drives. His
official title thereupon became Direct
or Of the War Loan Organization and
he was given national charge of the
placing of the forms of Government

The Treasury Department delegated
TO each Of the twelve governors Of
the Federal Reresrve banks the re-
sponsibility Of building and putting in
to working order the necessary ma
chinery for the sale Of all Government
securities in his district. The method
OF appointing these forces and of or

left to the judgment of each bank gov.
