CITY HAS LONG BEEN DEAD
Tiahuanaco, In Bolivia, Collection 81
Ruins Of Which Even the lncas
Knew ftothIno.

One Of the numerous cities claiming
the title coolest city In the world"
is Tiahuanaco, near Lake Titicaca In
Bolivia. thousand years ago. say
the scientists, TiahuanacO was as dead
as 1t Is today, and that is practically
all that anybody knows OF Its history.
Even the Incas. who hold record for
antiquity in South America, admitted
10 their first Spanish visitors that they
knew nothing about Tiahuanacc, ex-
cept that it was very probable that
the stone images scattered over the
ruins were the people of the city turned
into stone by some angry god.
There would be nearly as much OF
the old city visible today as there was
In the time Of the Incas, had not the
stones been so attractive to the In
dans OF nearby villages. AS 1t is,
beautifully carved idols have gone to
decorate the door fronts Of humble cot.
tages and polished stones to prop up
chimneys and pave floors. The little
modern village OF Tiahuanaco. near the
ruins, is full Of stolen souvenirs. Whole
houses and churches are. built of them
After several centuries Of this plum
der the government Of Bolivia put .
ban on removing stones from the ruins
but there was then little left OF ole
| Tinhuanaco. few stone gods al
huge and angular as any deities OF
| Egypt, the sites OF fortress. q palace
and many tombs. all vaguely marked
by worn carved stones are scattered
over a great desolate plain. Yet from
these battered relics with their cryptic
carvings the psychologists hope SOM
day to reconstruct the story of mys
FERROUS people.

Joy in CONQUEST.

LIES master-key- does for it's pos
SCISSOR what Is impossible to those who
do not have it. No future is too for
bidding for men of the right mental
fiber to fear. Weaklings falter and
turn back. Men of talent turned to
right channels delight In meeting whut
has brought failure to the many. 1t
offers to them chance to try the real
ly hard things. They alone test the
skill and prove the mettle. Such men
bring wealth out of defeat, and re-
joice In the struggle. It's no won
der they step forward and try what
has brought failure to others. It's the
mental sense of conquest that crowns
effort with success and makes man
king In the world. It's your right
Exchange.

Description Of Flood o. Time o. Moan
Found Among Ancient Records
Of Chaldea-

Perhaps the tracing Of the story OF
the book of Genesis Is the true fas-
cination that Mesopotamia has for
those who have time to read. The
great boats of the Euphrates have the
Identical lines of the toy ark that can
be bought In London. Where pent
roof has been added for our purposes
the two are one in shape. A Eu-
pirates "belum" arranged as sick
barge Is the toy ark Of childhood. Is
that toy ark an authentic tradition In
Its shape? It is almost certain to be.
The Euphrntes boats are pitched IN
side and out with pitch, as was that
ark. In these same bellums, some as
large as 10 tons, we may find British
batteries sailing the Euphrates and q
modified menagerie could easily walk
on board. One more suggestion OF
the toy shop tradition strikes the cas-
ual observer. The tribespeople from
the hills who work on the Tigris and
Euphrates wear high black felt hats
topper without brim. Are Mr.
and Mrs. Noah really correctly
dressed?
Then on top OF the discovery OF the
ark comes the more serious reading
Of parallel version Of the Bible
story Of the flood found in the cunei
form in Layard's tablets from the
Royal library of Ashurabanipal n
| Nineveh, copied or collected possibl,
| from Sargon's library at Accade O
| Erech, older than Ashurabanipal b.
perhaps 1900 years. We're the stories
Of Genesis the household stories o
Chaldea 1900 years ago? 1t woul'
seem 50, when from Babylon Is un
earthed seal with the representa-
ton Of the temptation, Adam an
Eve, the serpent and the apple tree.

When you see a young man sitting
In the narlor with the ugliest four
year-old boy that ever frightened him
self In a mirror clambering over his
knees. Jerking his necktie out of place
ruffling his shirt-front. pulling his hair
kicking his Sims, feeling in all his
pockets for coppers. while the unre-
sisting victim smiles all the time like
the cover of comic paper. YOU ma
safely say that the bowling boy has
sister who is in a room not 20 feet
away. and that the young man doesn't
go there just for the fun of playing
with her brother.

THY KINGDOM COME

When | was youngSter there was
a prayer that we all learned. We
didn't know much about what it
meant but we all learned to say Thy
Kingdom come. Thy will be done!'
! often wonder what would happen
If people said that PRAYER now and
meant it, and if they lived In such a
way as to uake that prayer come
true.
Here in Wood, and | guess it's
the same way in other places, most
everybody seems to be saying to him
self "My kingdom come. My will be
done." And you can see from the
way they act they mean just what
they say.
If we could only get them to change
the My to Thy and mean it just as
much | am sure they would not have
to pray that old prayer very long
before it came true for them and
everybody.
If the Kaiser had prayed Thy in
stead of My there wouldn't have been
any World War
Everyone who has anything to sell
nowadays, whether it's something to
eat or to wear or to see or to hear.
is thinking about My. If thev would
only change that My to Thy we would
soon hear no more about the high
cost of living.
We have had lots of strikes lately
because the fellows who work and the
fellows they work for pray My instead
of Thy.
! | am sure the men who throw
bombs and try to break down oul
government and give us one like
Russia are praying hard. But the
brouble is they are saying theil
prayers wrong too.
| If we all could only say this ole
PRAYER right again, and could change
the My back to Thy. and could mean
it just as much when we said 1t right
as we meant it when we said 1t wrong
this old world would soon be a happy
place for all.
