MEXICAN IDEA OF CREATION
Maya-Quiche Scripture Resembles in
Marked Degree That Handed
Down by Other Peoples.

The true indigenous civilization Of
Mexico-the a-Quiche, so named
from its foremost peoples still nu-
merous and robust-has its authentic
scripture in the Quche tongue, the
Popol Vuh, unearthed by Padre Kline
nez about 1915, and printed in full,
with an interleaved French translation
by the Able Basseurde Bourbourg in
1865. according to an article by Charles
Johnston, in the Atlantic monthly.
The scriptures cosmogony begins
with universal night-what the San
Skirt scriptures call the night of
Brahma-when darkness was upon the
waters. Then follows the develop
ment of worlds, first formed like thin
cloud-wreaths in the abyss, and grad
ually hardening into hills and plains,
under the formative will of 1.-The
Creator, the Moulter Heart of the
Heavens, Heart of ,the Earth" Then
beasts and birds are formed. But,
although they have voices, they have
no articulate speech; they can not in
woke their Creator, or call upon the
Heart of Heavens in prayer.
Therefore the Divine Powers set
themselves to make man, who can
pray and praise the Creator, so the
Divine Powers may receive alteration
from their handiwork Two races are
made only to fail; men formed OF
wet clay, who melt and dissolve, and
the manikins, whose hearts are hard
and who can not worship. AT last
race, intelligent, reverent, full of
penetrating wisdom that sees all things
in the heavens as well as on earth, is
brought into being. This perfect race
renders praise and glory to the Creator.

WOMAN SOLVES MILLENNIUM
Jap Urges Capital and Labor Lie
Down Together Throughout
World.

Tokyo.-A cooperative organization
of capital and labor which would not
ignore human instincts and feelings
should be established throughout the
world, in the opinion of Mrs. Ko-ko
Tanaka, woman adviser to the Japan
csc delegation in the international Ia
Dor conference at Washington.
Contributing her views on the labor
question to Japanese woman's mag
azine, Mrs. Tanaka says that if such
a system were introduced the laborer
would be emancipated from the posi-
ton of a wage Garner and would en-
ploy his energy with hope and zeal.
She continues:
''This no mere paper argument.
Such a system actually is practiced in
q ticket mandatory at Tokyo. 1t Is
small factory with less than fifty
hands. The owner leaves the manage
ment entirely to his employees. The
profits are divided equally between
owner and employees. The experiment
has stood the test Of several years
and it could be applied to any fac
tory on a much larger scale"

NOAH, NOT ADAM,

NO MENTION OF ANY EVE
Records in University of Pennsylvania
Provide Apparent History of HUI
man Race Back to $4,000 Years
|. Before Christ

Philadelphia. Pa.-What the discov-
erer claims to be evidence older than
the Bible by two or three thousand
years, that woman had nothing to do
with the downfall of the human race,
was produced by the museum of the
University of Pennsylvania in the
form of new set of translations by
DR.. Stephen Herbert Langdon.
Doctor Langdon is now professor of
Assyriology at Oxford university. Eng
land He was for three years curator
of the Babylonian section at the uni
versity museum, and while there stud
led and translated thousands of an
Gent clay tablets from the ruins of
Nippur, in ancient Babylonia
:. "Noah Ate the Apple"
The new book is the fourth in
series depicting the religious life of
the Sumerians. a mysterious race. the
origin of which is unknown, which was
finally swallowed up by the later Sem
itics. According to one of the flood sto-
r1es in the collection Noah ate the
forbidden fruit after he had been
saved from the deluge.
This salvation was accomplished. ac-
cording to the Sumeran version, by a
woman deity. 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 one thou
sand years older than Babyionian tab
let's.
$4,000 Years Before Christ.
After the Sumerians had been ex-
tinguished in their political power. ac-
cording to Doctor Langdon, the Baby
1Onians 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 univer-
sity provide an apparent history of
mankind back to 1900 years before
Christ, but this is not considered alb
sOlutely authentic, because many of
the reigns of kings are collateral. The
Sumerians believed that the patri-
archs, corresponding to those of the
Old Testament. ruled before the flood
for 100000 years. According to their
story 1t was $4,000 years after the del
uge when Cyrus of Persia conquered

Authority

all students should remember that
no public or social events may be
held without specific permission or
authority from Professor H. T.
Lewis Professor Lewis says he
cannot guarantee any more basket
ball games, but the ban was lifted

demic this year is the large number
of cases among faculty members.
Last year the faculty escaped with
but one or two cases. Professor
Conwell has suffered relapse and
is still i'll. Professor Axtell was
quite sick but is out now.
Thirty Student Cases.
There have been from 80 to 35 stu
dents who have had the influenza,
and new cases are being reported
right along. Lyle Colburn and Carl
Patch are i'll at the S. A. E. house.
The Hutton home was opened for
girls hospital with Irene Mckay
and Miss Brown, nurse, in charge.
Five patients are the most to be con-
fined there at one time.
The "Y" hut was taken over for
an emergency hospital for the boys.
Two men are i'll there now.
Volunteers Respond.
In his call for volunteer nurses
and assistants Professor Lewis had
very good responses from the Chi
Delta Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta
Gamma, Kappa Sigma, Sigma NJ
and Phi Delt houses.
During the epidemic all individual
health claims have been suspended
and the money spent for hospital
and overhead expenses. The
health claims will be established
