BABEL TOWER MERE MYTH
Ascribed to Fact That City of Babylon
Had a Great Population of
Many Tribes.

The story of the tower Of Babel
and the confusion of tongues while
still taught in many Sunday schools as
a literal and historical fact, is gem
orally conceded by theological leaders
to he just what science has discovered
it to be-a myth and folk lore, based
on a very small foundation of fact.
ghe tower in reality was the temple
tower north of Marduk temple, and
was but 275 feet in height, being built
Of six platforms or stages, the lower
being the highest, with 121 feet to its
credit, the second SO feet high and the
remaining four but % feet In height.
At the time 1t was built 1t probably
was the highest building in the world,
and the Babylonians we're not slow in
Dragging about 1t. The Jews. active
enemies, probably seized on this to tell
h story of the false god worship
ers" trying to reach heaven. The pow
er of Babylon passed with the sue
cess of Se~nnacherib. and later, some
time between ITO Il. C. and 1904 b.
c., an Elamite sought to rebuild the
city. and his plans included several
towers.
BY this time the city had a great
population of many tribes. and Sum-
erian, Akkndlan, Chaldean, Aramalc,
Iranian and Hittite was spoken by
those affiliated with each of the vari-
Gus races. A Jewish poet observing
this, wove the story. and TO give It col
or, declared the name Babel" meant
Confusion of tongues" In reality, II
means Gate of God" from the words
"bab," meaning gate" and "ilu,"
meaning a god.-Detroit News.

The idea that the earth is not a fiat
disk, but n globe. does not seem to
have ''caught on in India, for they
still talk about a certain center Of
the world" In Delhi stands a lofty
monument that goes by the nam OF
Khtub Minor, n structure towering
high above the temple of which II IL

GUS piece of architecture is that OF n
number OF tiers OF columns, seemingly
tied together In bundles. At big in
tervals there are balconies.
The Kutub Minor is of especial in
terest and note in the world over
which the religion of the teacher
Buddha holds sway. Here, long ago
tradition has 1t a meteorite fell, sent
by the ruling powers of the mystic
world beyond this life to mark the ex-
act center OF the world. In commemo-
ration Of this miraculous event the Ku-

that Mr.. Marshall should appoint Sen.

and consideration is the heavy In
crease in the Socialist vote. The total
may reach two millions. II was espe-
cially heavy. of course in the large
cities. Probably many of the votes
for Debs were cast by Democrats.
In addition to Messrs. Cox and
Roosevelt. many an eminent Democrat
was swept to defeat by the avalanche.
There Is widespread regret that Sen
ator Chamberlain of Oregon was not
successful, for he has been a capable,
~hard-working and independent member
of the upper house, n is n of the
stanchest Americans in public life.
Other Democratic senators who failed
of reelection include Mark Smith of
Arizona, Phelan of California, Nugent
of Idaho, Henderson of Nevada and

In the congressional elections there

On Saturday Senator Harding left
Marion for a vacation in Texas n a
trip to Panama. He expects to return
home about December 6, and then may
go to some Gulf Coast resort for the
winter. He has not given out any in
timations as to the makeup of his
cabinet, but of course the amateur cab
met builders r busy. Many of them
believe either EIihu Root or Senator
Lodge will be secretary of state-prob-
ably the former. Others who are
prominently mentioned are ex-Sena-
tor Sutherland of Utah for attorney
general. ex-senator Weeks of Massa-
chusetts for secretary of the treasury
or secretary of the navy, Frank Van
derlip for the treasury post, General
Wood for secretary of war, Governor
Lowden of Illinois for secretary of
commerce, Chairman WIN Hays or
John I. Adams of Iowa for postmaster
general, and Congressman Nolan of
California for secretary of labor. Some
think Raymond Robins may be offered
the last mentioned place, but this is
unlikely. Herbert Hoover also has
been talked OF for a cabinet appoint
ment, but this would be very displeas-
ing to Senator Hiram Johnson. OBJ
~jections to making an army man sec
rotary of war. added to pre-con-
vention irrltations, may keep General
Wood out of the cabinet.
For the important place of secretary
to the President, four anne are COM
monty mentioned-George Christian,
Harding's secretary while in the SEN
ate; Judson Welliver. a newspaper
correspondent, who has handled public
ity at Marion; Fred Starek. former
representative OF an Ohio newspaper
at Washington, and Richard Washburn
Child, former editor Of Golfers Week
ly, who has been aiding Harding at
