CHICAGO, July 13.-Going about
knocking down other kings cities when
they failed to kiss his feet" was one Of
the playful habits of Sennacherib, ruler
of Egypt some two thousand years ago,
according to cuneform tablets just
placed on exhibition at the University of
Chicago.
Sennacherib kept diary" Of his play
full habits" The Zig stone slabs were
brought to America recently, with other
records of ancient Egypt, by Prof. James
H. Breasted.
In my third campaign 1 marched
against the land of Ciatti (Palestine),'
said Sennacherib in his diary"
THE kings of the west land brought
rich gifts before me for the fourth time
and kissed my feet.
"Hezekiah, the Judean, who had not
submitted to my yoke 'besieged' and
took forty-six of his strong walled cities,
by assault of gatherings rams and siege
engines, attack by foot soldiers and by
mines and breaches.
81 captured some 100000 people, small
and great, male and female, horses,
mules, asses, camels, oxen and innu-
merable sheep.
"Hezekiah, himself, I shut up in Jeru-
salem like a Gagged bird"
Other tablets showed that Sennacherib
had a Cheops jazz band" a dromedary
"toddle' and desert home brew"

MARRIAGE IS O. X.
WITH RIGHT KIND
OF A COMPANION
London Actress and Mother
LdudS Freedom of Mar
Fied Life.

LONDON, July 13.-The remarkable
ing the last year, coupled with the pub
LEGATION here Of sensational divorce figures
from the United States. has caused serious
discussions as to the reasons for the So
called failure of the modern marriage.
Miss Sybil Thorndike-who is, without
exception, the most versatile actress on
:he British stage today-will have none
of it.
She admits that modern conditions maxi
contemplation Of marriage a problem, but
she comes to the front with a truly re-
markable defense Of that well known in
stitution which, we are told by some, is
becoming a miserable failure.
Unless she is very much in love, the
modern girl is inclined to be afraid of
marriage" Miss Thorndike declares
Yet marriage, at its best, is the most
happy, exciting and delightful relation
ship possible in this world. Even If
there is not violent love on both sides
marriage can still be a very good thing.
In the finest type Of marriage you get
a comradeship which is impossible In any
other relationship.
Daily habits, the little discussions and
fuses about children, and also the living
together, produce a comradeship which
you cannot get in any other way.
There must be freedom in marriage
and In the postwar marriage there is
freedom that husbands and wives never
had before and which Is all to the good
"A married woman knows what IS
comedy and decent; but, without ever
going beyond the limits of comeliness and
decency, she can, If she has married pal
enjoy a freedom unknown to her grand
mother
THE woman who remains unmarried
misses the great experience of mother
hood
If the modern girl marries a pal
don't think she ought to feel scared. A
marriage between equals is one of the
most wonderful things in life"
Miss ThorndIke is Mrs Lewis Casson.
the mother Of several handsome children
Her husband is always in the cast Of a
play in which she appears. At present
he is both actor and manager of the pro-
auctions in which Miss Thorndike is
starred.

UNWRITTEN LAW
USED IN FRANCE
Love Murderer, However, Kills
Amour's Husband.

PARIS, July 13.-Prominent French:
men and women, including the countrys
best lawyers, writers and parliamentary
ans, have suddenly plunged into con-
troversy over the application OF some
thing akin to the American 'unwritten
law" but broadened to include every KIND
of so called "love murder"
The discussion arose over the acquittal
of a young engineer who shot and killed
the husband of his former mistress In
the street, without any preliminary dis
cussion taking place. His only excuse
was that he loved the woman and that
his victim had taken her from him.
The Countess de Noailles Immediately
pronounced her opinion.
1.-The jury was right" she said. In
a crime like this, where love is so i'm
portant an element, where there is so

has the right to find that there wers
two victims-the man who fred the shot,
as we'll as the man who fell dead at his
feet"
ITO acquit such people is simply abb
surd," replied Alfred Capus. well-known
French writer and member of the French
Academy. They should be punished
like any other murderers."
De Porto Richie French playwright app
plauded the verdict.
II am always happy when the jury
shows itself Ienient in such cases." he
said. "A death sentence against the young
engineer would have been monstrous."
Henry Bernstein, one of the best-
known of modern French dramatists, took
exactly the opposite view.
There should be no such thing as
the 'unwritten law or the acquittal OF
a person alleged to have been suddenly
moved by a great love to kill another
said Bernstein. "In most cases real love
has nothing to do with the crime. 1t is
simply the last act Of hatred directed by
a weak mind
Minister of Justice Bonnevay has taken
cOgnizance of the controversy by intro
ducing a bill in Parliament to permit
jurors to comment on all crimes and rec
ommend sentences. At present French
juries only return verdicts Of acquittal
or conviction, without comment.
