Among the sufferers and the families
Of sufferers OF the invisible wounds"
received in the great war, 1t seems to
be not very well known that the gov
eminent plan includes compensation for
mental disabilities as well as for phys
icai. This does not mean shell shock.
IL means mental disability incurred dur
ing the period Of service or aggravated
from dormant causes during the term
OF service.
About $4,000 such cases are now being
treated by the government which has
established a number of important hos
pitfalls where highly specialized treatment
Is going forward. In any part of the
country a properly established claim for
help In this connection will be prompt
ly met by the government, The simplest
way Of getting such a claim established
liz through the home service department
OF any chapter of the American Red
Cross, and 1t will be referred to the
proper bureau. !,
1t is probable that the $4,000 cases OF
mental disability represent only about
so per cent of the total number. one
Of the most enllghtening things about
the draft was the mandatory examina-
lion OF SO many American young men

BOOKS MADE OF CLAY.

Far away beyond the plains of Mesopotamia,
on the banks of the River Tigris, lie the ruins OF
the ancient city of Ninevah. Not long since
huge mounds of earth and stone marked the
place where the palaces and walls of the proud
capital of the great Asyrian empire stood.
The spade and scraper, first of the tlench
and then of the English. have cleared all the
earth away and laid bare all that remains of
the old streets and palaces where the proud
princes of Assyria walked and lived. The gods
they worshipped and the books they read nave
all been revealed to the sight of a wondering
world.
The most curious of all the curious things
preserved in this wonderful manner are the clay
books of Ninevah. The chief library OF the city
was contained in the Palace of kanyunJik. The
clay books, which composed its contents, were
sets of tablets. covered with very small let
tiers. The tablets are all oblong IN shape, ana
when several OF them are used for one book
the first line of the tablet following was written
at the end OF the one preceding it. The writing
was done when the clay of the tablet was soft;
it was then baked TO harden il. Each tablet was
numbered lust as librarians OF today number
the books of which they have charge.
