Indian Is Model Soldier.

Accusations that he was a German
spy caused ODDS Leader, Choctaw In
dian, to be made hero and inciden-
tally to be chosen as model Ameri-
can soldier for a portrait made to
hang upon the walls Of the French
Federal building.
Leader, in war days foreman on
a ranch near Calvin, Okla, learned
from idle rumor in his neighborhood
that he was accused of being a German
spy. He Immediately enlisted and in
the course Of a brilliant war record
was cited for bravery. During the en-
gagement for which he was cited he
captured two machine guns and 1S
prisoners, manning a 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

and only recently brought home his

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

What Is said to he 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 Nippur
at the University Of Pennsylvania mu-
scum.
The Hammurabi code was prepared
about POO B. c., and was discovered
about 20 years ago on 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 q 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 slave bore children to her
master she and the offspring were
free, and IL the master married the
slave the children became legitimate.

Reality of Disease Germs.

Replying to a protest from Lee
White, publicity department of the
Christian Scientists, against remarks
on the death from diphtheria Of a girl
under Christian Science treatment, the
Journal Of the American Medical Asso-

girl been buried beneath a load of
bricks, even Mr.. White would have
suggested, we believe, that before CIV

Mr.. White fails to realize is that a

TURNING AWAY FROM MEAT

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

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

result of years Of emphasis on the

with the war great deal more came

found that thoroughly satisfactory

many calls given nowadays in the big
hotels for vegetable luncheons and
dinners, which have a special place on

Women Expert Life Savers.

One man at least chooses woman
life savers in preference to men for
patrolling his beach. That is Mr..
Gray, manager of the parks pools in
st. Louis, Mo. According to Col. w.
e. Longfellow, life saving expert of
the Red Cross. Mr.. Gray declares that
since trying women at this job during
the war when the bronzed heroes were
abroad, he would rather have them
than men. Many women are now quail
flying as life savers and are getting
the training for their tests in the Y.
