10 EXPLORE OCEANS DEPTHS
Aritlsh Government Contemplating an
Expedition for the Gathering Of
Scientific Informal

The British government Is contem-
plating the dispatch Of a deep-sea ex.
ploring expedition which Is expected
to gather much valuable scientific In
formation.
Most people imagine that the depths
of the ocean have been pretty thor
oughly explored. but this Is very far
from being true. As q matter of fact.
only very small fraction of the
whole area of deep sea bottom has
been surveyed. Attention Is particu.
larly called to vast subaqueous re-
glon around the Falkland islands and
up as far as Montevideo, which Is al
most unknown. and which, having a
depth Of less than 100 fathoms. may
offer opportunities for the development
of lucrative fisheries.
The first deep-sea exploring expe-
dition. that Of the famous Challenger,
was set on foot just so years ago.
The ship left port In 1872, and ideas
on the subject were In those days SO
primitive that there was dispute as
to whether she should use wire or
hempen rope for soundlngs. II took a
whole day to make one sounding. or
a single cast of the dredge for bring.
ing mp fishes and other animals.
Since then deep-sea sounding ap-
paratus has been much improved by
cable ships, and fishing gear has been
greatly modified by steam rawlers,
which use dredges. Besides, great
deal that Is Of value has been learned
by oceanographlc expeditions suhse-
quent to that Of the Challenger. Hence
the new exploring vessel will start out
with a prospect Of accomplishing q
very great deal Of work Of real I'M
portance.

numbers we had last year. so

into possession Of the family late In
the year. license number was OBJ

husband got In early for 1921 u

Anyway, the wife had a good laugh

FIGURED IN HISTORIC PAST
Representation of Monarch Of the
Time Of Abraham Now In
Pennsylvania Museum.

In the dim old days Of the patriarch
Abraham people looked very much as
they do now. Judging from the oldest
representation of human figures un-
earthed by the tolllng brotherhood Of
archeologists. Two striking figures,
one standing and one seated. are In
cluded In the elaborate design OF the
clay seal, or postage stamp" which
has excited the enthusiasm OF DR.. Le-
grain, curator Of the Babylonian sec
tlon Of the University OF Pennsylvania
museum.
Or. Legrain has figured out the In
scriptions of the little tablet as indi.
eating that II dates from the period
when "Ur of the Chaldees." mentioned
In Genesis In connection with the his
tory of Abraham. was fourlshlng
kingdom. And he finds reason to be-
iieve that the seated figure. decorated
with dounces Of beautiful ACCORDION
plating. is portrait OF his majesty
Ibi-Sln. the last king OF Ur and pos
sibly an intimate friend OF the Father
Of Israel.
To the modern eye both figures are
remarkably well drawn and lifelike
In attitude, especially considering the
fact that they were modelled In clay
on very small scale. Or. Legrain
thinks the tablet served the double
purpose OF a seal and postage stamp
on sack of money forwarded to a
banker named Shulpae by his rever-
ence the high priest OF the temple OF
Ur. at which Abraham worshiped.

ity soured on the world for the reason
that the Fourth was founded on doc
trine that takes gunpowder to make II
move. Remove that and you have kill
ed the prime incentive to patriotic en-
deavor.
Better have finger or two OF three

of July 4th, or be laid away victim Of

day. We have heard of the sane Fourth
long enough and all we want. too.
Here's plea for the good, old noisy
kind, when they used to waken you
from your slumber with the booming
anvils and giant firecrackers. If there
is any old dutfer in the town who can't
be young again for day let him move
to the country while the celebration is
in progress. Let's teach young Ameri-
ca to shoot fireworks all they want and

don't have to sneak away to fire off a

PeIlaora and Income.

After a three-year study Of pellagra
In the cotton-mill villages Of South
Carolina. the United States public
health service shows that pellagra
varies inversely with the family In
come In this locality. AS the income
fell the disease was found to Increase
and to affect more members Of the
same family. AS the income rose the
disease decreased, and was rarely
found In families that enjoyed the
highest incomes, even though this
highest was still quite low.
A recent statement given by one Of
the large life insurance companies In
dicates that the food standards OF
Southern wage earners must have I'M
proved remarkably Of late, for the
death rate from pellagra has fallen
from 81 per 100000 in 1915 to 2.3 In
1919.

from experiments under traffic condi-

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dollars
Earned

The average man does not save to ex-
ceed ten per cent Of his earnings. He
must spend nine dollars in living ex-
penses for every dollar saved. Tn :
being the case he can not be too care
full about unnecessary expenses, Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on. II
is the same in buying Chamberlain's
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t costs
but few cents, and bottle OF 1t in
the house often saves doctors bill of
several dollars.
