ANCIENT LAWS OF INTEREST
Gently Been Translated by Emil
nent French Scientist.

What is said to be the oldest known
written code of laws in the world,
probably antedating that of Hammur-
abb by at least 1000 years, has been
discovered in part among the hitherto
untranslated clay tablets from Nippuf
at the University Of Pennsylvania mu-
scum.
The Hammurabi code was prepared
about 21OO B. c., and was discovered
about 20 years ago on a large diorite
stone by French explorers.
The laws, just translated by Able
Scheil of Paris, deal with responsible
ties of hired servants, rentals, rights
of slave women who have borne chill
dren to their masters, punishment for
adultery, etc.
One interesting statute provides that
rentals must run for three years in
case a man has taken over a house
the owner does not know how to man.
age. This is somewhat obscure and
may mean that all rentals were for
that term. In any event property
could not be idle or be improperly
used.
In case a slave bore children to her
master she and the offspring were
free, and If the master married the
slave the children became legitimate.

Indian 10 Model Soldier.


Accusations that he was a German
spy caused ODDS Leader, Choctaw In
dian, to be made a hero and inciden-
tally to be chosen as a model Ameri-
can soldier for portrait made to
hang upon the walls of the French
Federal building.
Leader, in war days a foreman on
ranch near Calvin, Okla, learned
from idle rumor in his neighborhood
that he was accused Of being German
spy. He Immediately enlisted and in
the course Ola brilliant war record
was cited for bravery. During the en-
gagement for which he was cited he
captured two machine guns and 10
prisoners, manning machine gun for
three days after the remainder of his
crew had been killed. Dowarreux, the
French artist, picked upon Leader as
his ideal of typical American soldier
and made painting from him which
now graces the walls of the French
Federal building.
Twice wounded and twice gassed,
Leader has been doing vocational work
and only recently brought home his
bride to .McAlester from Oklahoma

Some time ago, Miss Kneubuh!,
chairman in this district for the Ma
tional League of Women Voters, was
in the city and talked to local wo;
men about the organization and its
aims. Miss Mabel Berg OF this city
was made chairman of a temporary
organization at this meeting. Since
that time permanent organization
has been formed with the following
officers:
Chairman-ldabel Berg.

What The League 10
The National League of Women
voters is a national organization of
women who wish not merely to vote
but to use their votes to the best ad-
vantage.
The National League is composed
Of State Leagues of which there
may be only one from each state and
has as associate members other ma
tional organizations working / along
similar lines. Any woman interested
in seeing her vote count for the pub
lie good may be a member.
The organization he's two purposes
TO foster education in citizenship
and to support improved legislation.
The program is educational and
legislative, l. e., to get behind need
ed reforms, to urge their support and
adoption in the platforms Of the po-
litical parties and their enactment
into laws.
The slogan of the league is Enroll
in the Political PARTIES" It is organ
lied to do legislative work in order
to promote its program.
1t is not woman's party or
separate political party. The League
of Women Voters hopes to accomplish
it's purpose in two ways; first by
education, IS to national and state
human needs; second, by the direct
influence of it's own members who
are enrolled voters in the already
existing political parties. It is not
partisan. 1t will not support or attack
national candidates or national part
les. To quote from the Constitution.
"The National League of Women Vot-
ers urges every woman to become
an enrolled voter but as an organiza-
ton it shall he allied with and sup
port no party"

In 1914-16 this land was cleared to

ducts more than paid for the cost Of
clearing. Grasses and clover were
then sown among the stumps at cost
Of not more than 81 an acre, and pas

average Of four years pasturage has

TURNING AWAY FROM MEAT
In New York Big Hotels Meals Entire
Iy Of Vegetables Are Increasing
in Popularity.

According to the New York Times
the diners of the American metropolis
are becoming vegetarians.' Approx
mately one-seventh to one-fifth of the
guests at the hotels here today are or
dering vegetables for their meals in
stead Of meats. All Of the big hotels
keep very careful record of the sales
of the different items on the menus for
each day, and recapitulation made
recently at the Hotel PENNSYLVANIA re-
vealed that surprising percentage Of
patrons omitted meat items entirely
In their lunch and dinner orders.
While the percentage for lunch was
much higher than that for dinner, the
number Of dinner guests who re-
Trained from meat entirely was also
very large.
In the opinion of Chef Julien JAG
quier of the Pennsylvania this is the
result Of years of emphasis on the
value of vegetarianism. The vegetari-
an, a few years ago, was very general
" the butt Of the comic papers; but
with the war a great deal more came
to be thought of him by people who
found that a thoroughly satisfactory
meal could be made from vegetables
and at much less cost. Chef lacquer
believes that this is responsible for the
many calls given nowadays in the big
hotels for vegetable luncheons and
dinners, which have a special place on
the menus.

NAEARLS used to be the special

N custom has arisen Of giving
pearls as gifts 20 bridesmaids. At
several large weddings lately the bride
has presented her maids with hand

pearl necklaces or pearl-set rings. OF
course, a ring may have nothing but
genuine pearl.and only a very rich
bride can afford 70 donate four or six
or even eight-exponsiv pearl-set
rings. But convention Is not so
scrupulous about necklaces and ear
rings. The bride IS not supposed 20
wear anything but genuine pearls on
her wedding day. though truth TO tell
she often doesl But for tho brides
maids strings OF fine pearl beads. or
earrings made Of good composition
pearls are quite allowable.
Some Of these pearl bead necklaces
cost a good deal, too. One pays ten
dollars or so for even a short string
Of tiny pearl beads and when II comes
to a string OF opera" length the
price may run up TO fifty OF even a
hundred dollars for beads Of excellent
quality. A hundred dollars seems a
mere bagatelle. Of course. considered
against the cost OF a twenty thousand

string Of equal length; bnt II will be

bride even a hundred dollar string Of
pearl beads.
