TELL OF BABYLONlAN LIFE
Interesting Revelations in Clay Tablets
That Were written" On Some

The University of South Dakota at

of 81 genuine Babylonian tablets, dis
covered by Arabs in the ruins of bur.
led cities and collected at Bagdad.
They have been deciphered by DIR.

ords of 1000 ' rs ago, and their
authenticity Pre- vI. Fully half of the
tablets in this collection are perfect
and all of them are Iegible. They are
only few inches in size and were
written on when they were soft clay,
later being dried. or baked. Most CT
them are of about the date 1850 B. c.
few going as far back as $500 B. c..
and others dating from the time G.
the fall of Babylon before the Per.
slams, in 538 B. c. The most valuable
tablet of the collection is a letter.
Holes were made through it so that
1t might be attached to a cord and
carried in this way. Next in point of
value and interest are a number of
neo-Bahylonian tablets of sundried
clay containing business contracts of
all sorts aud giving pictures of the
life of the people after the Persian
conquest. Of special interest is 8

That the making of grape strip is
not new thing is shown by the writ
ings of ancient historians. Galen, the
Greek physician and writer, who lived
in the second century after Christ.
says that a good many Asiatic wines
were stored in bottles which were
hung in the corner of fireplaces, where,
by evaporation, they became dry. This
process was called fumarium." The
Greeks had two kinds of wine, "pro-
toplon," or first juice of the grape be-
fore pressing, and "deuterion," or
pressed juice. The Romans called
them "vinum primarium" and "vinum
secundarium."- The Juice before fer
mentation had started was called
"mustum." After this must, or Juice,
had been through a heating process,
1t was known as "fruitum," and when,
after long heating, it was reduced to
one-half or one-third it's original vol.
une it was called "sapa." This was
equivalent to grape sirup and was
used by the Romans on their bread

out OF the other, and could distinguish
right and wrong. They insisted that
his blindness could not be proven and
that the charge that he was a tiger
hung on an equally fallacious thread.
Other evidence was brought for
ward which rendered some practical
doubt of his guilt, and while broad
grins suffused the faces of the spec
tators, he was acquitted.

CUTTING 1n.FL sGT OF TEETH
Memphis (Tenn.) Man, at 81, Is Also
Renewing His Youth and Viger

The adage that there is nothing new
unuer the sun has been disproyed by
N. u. Starr, who has cut a third set
OF teeth at the age Of eighty-four.
when usually the only new molars,
Dlcusplds. etc., that can be achieved
are those purchased from a dentist,
says the Memphis Commercial Appeal
MIR. Starr, who is in the employ Of
the Memphis Artesan Water company,
recently found himself in need of a set
of these artificial substitutes for the
teeth provided by nature But when
he visited his dentist the price was too
high and he decided to go toothless.
However. through one of the unac-
countable happenings which come
times upsets all rules, Mr. Starr dis
covered that he was cutting u new
teeth. They are almost through now,
although they are not very useful yet,
owing to the fact that his gums are
sore in a fashion familiar to all moth
err of teething infants or to boys and
girls whose second teeth are replacing
their baby teeth, and even the older
boys and girls who proudly announce:
I'm cutting wisdom TOOTH"
Dentists doubtless will contend
that such thing cannot happen. But
Mr. Starr knows that he now has teeth
where no teeth were before. More
over. he says his eyesight is better
than it was several years ago, and
that so far from his vigor being i'm
paired by advancing years he feels
stronger and more youthful than he
did when he was seventy.

number of bonds. but it Is not
likely that any new work that in
wolves bond sales will be under
taken except in what might be
considered emergency cases, or in
connecting pieces of road already
finished, For instance, there is
but ten miles remaining to be
paved between Portland and Sa-
lem. These gaps should be closed.
There also are some stretches in
Washington and Yamhill counties
where there should be some addi-
tioual paving, because the coun-
try there is densely populated
and there is a great need for some
filling in on the short stretches" "

that time the general policy will
be decided upon for the seasons

GAS SHORTAGE
Is NOT A FAKE

! 40 WI n u NM
The gasoline shortage that is
sweeping over the state has moi
been appreciably felt in' Ashland
although, according to w. A. Han
ma, general agent for the Associ-
ated Oil company in this district,
the shortage is real. Mr.. Hanna
told gasoline dealers this week
when he was in the city from
Medford that a general conserve
tion will be necessary in order
to allow each car owner to have
a reasonable supply. By this, it
is stated, no one should buy guam
titles OF gas and store it up for
their individual use.
Tourists, it is stated, will be
supplied with sufficient gasoline
for their use, so as not to curtail
travel by this mode, although the
amount sold to each individual
will not be as much as formerly.
This will probably necessitate
shorter trips in day, making
tourists stop more frequently and
stay longer at given points.
Word from San Francisco states
a request has been framed by oil
and railroad company executives
that all users of automobiles for
pleasure purposes curtail their
gasoline purchases SO per cent for
ten weeks. 1t was announced
that restrictions on gasoline were
not based on transportation CON
ditions, but on actual shortage.
Today local gasoline dealers
were informed that they must linz
II the sale OF gas to tourists. This
is simply lower amount to each
person, in order to pass them on
to the next stopping place. Tour
lists may secure a certain amount
once in q town, and no more, but
can get more at the next.
