ASPHALT USED TO
EMBALM MUMMIES

Almost as far back as our knowl-
edge of ancient civilization extends
authentic evidence exists that asphalt
which is now used in sixty per cent OF
the street paving in American cities,
was known by the human race for its
useful and valuable properties.
The earliest recorded use OF as
phalt was by the Sumarians, a people
inhabiting the Euphrates Valley PRIOR
to the ascendancy Of the Babylon
ians. Some of the oldest relies
which have been unearthed by archae-
lOgists. demonstrate that as early as
1000 B. C. asphalt was used by the
Sumarians as a cementing medium or
binder for attaching small objects or
ornaments to sculptures, carvings and
pottery. An asphalt mastic cast eX-
cavated at Lagash, near the mouth Of
the Euphrates, dates back to 1881 B.
c.. and as early as $500 B. c. the
Egvptians utilized liquid or melted as
phalt as a preservative coating Tor the
cloth wrapping Of mummies. Its
waterproofing value was known also
at this date and there is good reason
to believe that the ark built by Noah
was treated with asphalt within ana
without for this purpose.
AS a mortar for brick, asphalt eVl-
IDENTIFY was used in the construction
of the Tower of Babel, for the Book
of enesis states that "slime had they
for mortar" and the word "slime" is
translated as "bitumen" or asphalt
in the Vulgate. This same "slime".
is also recorded as having been used
70 daub the basket which served to
conceal Moses in the bulrushes when
the Children of Israel were suffering
under the bondage Of Egypt about
1900 &c. It was NabOpolassar,
King Of Babylon, who, about 500 b.
c., first used asphalt as a filler or
mortar for brick pavements. His
son, Nebuchadnezzar, continued the
practice, as is demonstrated by an
inscription on brick taken from one
of the streets. Asphalt was used
also in the construction OF founda-
tions subject to water action in the
ancient city of Media.
In the Western Hemisphere this
material appears to have been used
in ancient times by the Incas Of
Peru, who established a magnificent
system of highways. Thus asphalt,
instead of being a product Of exclu-
sively modern use, as may be com,
monty supposed, really is a world-old
material, the use Of which has been
/ handed down from the oldest civiliza-
/ ton.

RULES FOR MOTORISTS

Japan has her rules of the road,
not phrased as are our own, but very
much to the point. The rules are is
sued in English, also, for the use of
British tourists.
The first rule reads: "At the rise
of the hand of the policeman, stop
rapidly; do not pass him by, or other
wise disrespect him."
The second: "When a passenger
of the foot hove in sight, tootle the
horn trumpet to him melodiOusly at
first. If he still obstacle your pas
sage, tootle him with vigor and ex-
press by word of mouth the warning,
Hi! Hip
The third is touching: "Beware
of the wandering horse that he shall
not take fright as you pass him by.
Do not explode the exhaust box at
him. Go soothingly by or stop by
the roadside until he pass away"
The fourth also has its pathos
GIVE big space to the festive dog
that makes sport in the roadway
Avoid ENHANCEMENT of the dog with
your wheel spokes."
Here is an awful warning against
skidding: GO sooth;ngly over the
grease-mud; for there turks the skid
demon. Press the brake of the foot
as you roll around the corners to
save the collapse"

GOVERNOR TO HELP
BRING CONVENTION

Help the Louisiana Department OF
the American Legion to bring the
1922 national convention Of the or
ganization to New Orleans.
If New Orleans secures the conven-
ton, which has been endorsed by Gov
ernor John NJ. Parker and city and
state officials, it will mean the bring
ing to this city of the largest con-
ventions ever held here, according to
Legion officials.
The governor, it is said, will issue
a resolution from the state executive
house within a few days, endorsing
the movement of the local depart
nent to secure the big convention.
The resolution follows:
"Realizing the duty owed by all
patriots to those who shouldered arms
in the recent world war and mindful
of the fact that on October 81, Nov
enber l and 2, the American Legion,
q denomination made up of veterans
of the world war, will convene IN It's
annual convention at Kansas City, and
with the knowledge that said conven-
ton will bring to Kansas City the
foremost civil and military personages
of the world including Marshal Foch,
Field Marshal Haig, General Dlaz,
Admiral Beatty, General Pershlng
and other prominent leaders, to-
gether with 100000 visitors; and in
view of the fact that the Louisiana
state convention of the American Lee
gion recently in convention assem-
bled at Bogalusa unanimously adopt
ed a resolution inviting the 1922 con-
vention to New Orleans.
Snow, therefore, I, John M. Park
er, as governor and in behalf OF the
state of Louisiana, endorse the move
ment to obtain the 1922 American
Legion convention for New Orleans
and cordially invite the 1922 conven-
ton of the American Legion to New
Orleans"
The 1921 convention opens in Kan
sas CITY October 80. The Louisiana
delegation, about IL strong, will leave
this city in ample time to be there
prepared for the fight for the con-
vention. Louisiana delegates will
be instructed to "bring home the ba-
con-" and they are going to Kansas
City file with highest hopes and de-
termined to win for New Orleans this
great assemblage of ex-service men
San Francisco will be the greatest
rival of New Orleans, it is believed
and the California men are preparing
to wage a stiff fight for the conven-
ton. But the Louisiana department
has not been asleep. Circular let.
tiers have been sent to all parts OF
the country and to every state, ask.
ing Legion officials in those states tn
help New Orleans secure the conven.
ton. Twenty states have signified
their willingness to aid the city il
the fight and others have given New
Orleans second choice in cases where
one Of their own cities is after the
convention.
