The sixth and seventh clauses in the

because of the find at the University of
PENNSYLVANIA Museum of a code similar
to the Sunrerian and the code of Hammu-

For many years the code Hammurabi
was thought 80 be the oldest legal lore
in existence, although scholars were all
agreed that il was undoubtedly revised
from a much older document DIR. Albert
II. CLAW claimed a greater antiquity for
the Sumerian law found in the Babylon
ian section at Yale, although not declar-
ing that his proofs were incontrovertible !;
and Pennsylvania now believes that its
latest find is the oldest of all. Undoubt-
edly one antedated the other by little
and overlapped by a great deal. Each
code >bas derived something from the
other.
In those days the fathers and moth
cr's place in the home was fixed and
definite and powerful. Marriages were
arranged somewhat after the present
fashion in France. 1t was the parents
who decided the marriage price or dowry.
Laws then in force regulated the future
disposal of that d0wry in case of death
or divorce.
Eloping was more difficult of accom-
plishment then than now, and more cul-

of the parents of his loved one. If he
expected a refusal he was fool to court
it. But it is possible that some poor
boy would not know he was frowned
upon until he had put his suit to the test.
But If he had not consulted the par

Historic Mace i'm House of Representa-
tiyes Chamber.

In the chamber of the house of repre-
sentatiyes stands one vivid reminder of
parliamentary. customs OF the middle
ages. 1t is the mace, which is borne in
the house begins, and which must invar-
to the chamber Just before a sitting of
iably stand upright on its marble pedes
tai at the right of the speaker, while the
house is in session.
When the house goes into committee
of the whole and the speaker leaves the
chair to be succeeded by the chairman
of the committee the mace is lowered.
In case the committee meeting is in
terrupted by the arrival of a message
from the president the house cannot le
gally sit again even though it be but
for a few seconds, until the mace is
elevated.
When any serious disorder occurs in
the house the speaker directs the SER
geant alarms to quell it. This official
then takes the mace from its pedestal
and advances with it before him to-
ward the offending legislators. As a
symbol of dignity and power it has
never failed to bring quarrelIng mem
bers to their senses. reminding them OF
the responsibilities of lawmakers.
The mace was originally weapon of
war, a club or mallet carried by soldiers
in battle. Priests or bishops who en-
gagged in military service carried maces
instead of battle axes and swords. Later
came the symbolic and ceremonial use
of the mace.
Today in the British house of com
mons the mace a great, richly carved
staff surmounted by crown, lies be

sions. 1t is never raised to an upright
position as in our congress. Our Amer
