ADAM DIDN'T EAT THE APPLE;
TWAS NOAH WHO BIT PIPPIN
There Was No Eve According New Evidence Brought to
Light by Deliver IN Ancient Lore.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-What the
discoverer claims to be evidence old
err than the Bible by 1000 or 5000
years, that woman had nothing to do
with the downfall of the human race,
has just been produced by the mu-
scum of the University of Pennsyl-
vania in the form of a new set of
translations by DR.. Stephen Herbert
Langdon.
DIR. Langdon is now professor of
syriology at Oxford University, Eng
land, He was for three years curator
of the Babylonian section at the uni
versity museum, and while there
studied and translated thousands of
ancient clay tablets from the ruins
of Nippur, in ancient Babylonia.
"Noah Ate the Apple"
The new book is the fourth in a Sc
ries depicting the religious life of
the Sumerlans, a mysterious race. the
origin of which is unknown, which
was finally swallowed up blythe later
Semetics. According to one of the
flood stories in the collection Noah

ate the forbidden fruit after he had
been saved from the deluge.
This salvation was accomplished,
according to the Sumerian version, by
woman diety. There is no mention
of any Eve in the story. Clay tablets
from which this and other stories are
taken are said to be at least 1000
years older than Babylonian tablets.
$4,000 Years Before Christ.
After the Sumerians had been ex-
tinguished in their political power,
according to DIR. Langdon, the Baby
lonians retained the language for &C.
clesiastical purposes for many centu-
ries, just as Latin is now used IN the
Roman Catholic church.
The Sumerian records at the uni
versity provide an apparent history
of mankind back to $4,000 years be-
fore Christ, but this is not consider
ed absolutely authentic, because
MANY of the reigns of kings are col
lateral. The Sumerians believed that
the patriarchs, corresponding to
those, of the old testament, ruled pc
fore the flood for 100000 years. Ac,
cording to their story it was 35,Ooo
wears after the deluge when Cyrus
of Persia conquered Babylonia.

WOMEN URGED TO
LOWER CLOTHING COST
HELEN Johnson ASKS THEM
NOT TRY TO CAPTURE FLEET
ING FANCY OF MALE.

NEW YORK, N. Women were
urged to lower the cost of clothes by
abandoning the world-old tradition
that they must dress "to capture the
fleeting fancy of the male" or to out
do others of their sex, in an address
today by Helen Louise Johnson, edi-
tor of the General Federation Maya
zine, before the Columbia University
Institute of Arts and Sciences. Low
er prices could be brought about, she
added, in her talk on "The Ethics of
Dress" by the adoption of a stand
ardized costume.
Limited Number.
"Man," Miss johnson said, "can
dress properly and becomingly on a
limited number of suits. His reason
ing seems to be that beauty unadorn-
ed is adorned the most. His clothes
are far from beautiful"

Sees BIG DANGER
In DECENTRALIZATION
PUBLIC WARNED OF FINANCIAL
TROUBLE BY VANDERBILT.
RAPS u. S. TREASURY.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-A warning
that further imitation of currency
would result in still higher prices for
all commodities and in more social
unrest and more strikes was sounded
on Saturday by Frank A. Nanderhp
at the meeting of the League for 70
litical Education.
Mr.. Vanderlip put the blame Tor
conditions on the treasury depart
ment for depressing the discount rate
and said that an immediate increase
of this rate to check further imitation
in this country would tend to lower
prices and restore normal financial
conditions. More imitation, he sald'
would cause "nearer approach to a
disastrous crash"
Actuated by desire to finance a
great war at low interest, he SAID,
the treasury department had aoated
the bonds so that "every purchaser
was involved in a loss the day the
bond was delivered, and has been at
a loss ever since except for the tax
free bonds"
He expressed the opinion that the
nolicv had caused dissatisfaction
among the 100000 subscribers, all
of whom have lost in the transac-
ton.
Had Good Motives.
Don't understand me as saying
that the treasury department has
malignlv set out to involve this coun-
trv in the awful catastrophe OF TINS
imitation and this rise in prices" SAID
Mr.. Vander1ip. "They didn't see;
They didn't understand. They mad
the best of motives. They wanted to
float the United States bonds at a
low interest rate. They wanted to
save the country from paying high
interest rate. and they wanted to
have the credit, undoubtedly, OF n
nancing a great war on low inter-
est rate.
''Thev prided themselves on having
21 .OOO. 600 investors, when, before
the war. there had been only 400, Oo0
bond holders in the whole United
States, but what we got was u ;oVo'
900 disguised people, who had fos'
one.
"The influence of the treasury de-
partment kept down that discount
rate. kept it down when the bankers
on the federal reserve boards thougi;t
if should go up. They have held IL
down to this day.
Two Big Figures.
"The two most important figures
in the world are the ratio of reserve
which the federal reserve banks nolu
and rate of interest. One shoWs
how fast they are going toward turth-
or imitation or backing away from
it: the other shows whether the
brake is being applied or whether we
have we been letting it run free, as we
have been. -. +ro,b,e
to slow down now, pay off loans, nave
somewhat so less activity, reduce prices
and get back to a sounder basis OF
financial life.

CAN COP RESENT IT
WHEN HE'S CUSSED?
APPARENTLY DRUNKEN OR AN
CRY PRISONER CAN VENT HIS
SPLEEN ON BLUECOAT.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Has a policeman
any right to retaliate or any legal
way of stopping it when drunken or
angry prisoner curses him in Ian
guage which the policeman if prl-
vate citizen would have right to
resent with blows?
Again the point has come up IN
connection with the handling OF
drunks and other unruly offenders IN
Atlanta. Various courts of Georgia
have taken different views on the
subject, so that there is no sure prec-
edent based on laws of this state,
and a lawyer defending his client
here cited a ruling by the Iowa state
court in which it is declared that a
prisoner has an inalienable right to
swear at the policeman who is arrest
ing him, and that such action does
not constitute resisting arrest or any
other punishable offense, unless the
cursing is done in the presence OF a
third party who is not apoliceman
and whom the cursing might offend.
To be cursed, in the views of the
Iowa court, is a part of the police
mans job.
Atlanta policemen usually take TINS
same charitable view when a prison
err is SO drunk or so angry that ne
doesn't know what he is doing, but
every once in while it gets too much
for the cop and he too gets mad and
whacks the insulter over the head
with his billy.
