gains momentum in his new position
by his old plan of inspiring those
around him, who in turn put their
energy into the work. Of course, no
one can watch Mr.. Hays without
concluding that he does not pursue
his course without a definite sailing

EFFICIENCY rs KEYNOTE
OF WILL HAYS POLICY
BY ELIZABETH KING STOKES
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright, 1921


WASHINGTON, May 21.-Will II.
Hays, "the distinguished postmaster
general" President Harding called
him at the White House the other
day7-has been sitting at his desk
looking over blue prints showing
plans for new postoffice buildings all
over the United States.
Glad to see YOU" said Mr.. Hays,
shaking hands and showing his teeth,
to one of a roomful of visitors, some
Of whom wanted to talk about this
new postoffice matter. For Mr.. Hays,
the transition from chairman of the
Republican national committee to the
head of the postoffice department,
was step from one local pride prop
osition to another, and from one
country wide organization to another.
Therefore, in this humming office of
his, his methods of administering the
gigantic business of the postal serV-
ice are those which he tried out as
chairman of the national committee.
AS postmaster general he looks
less imposing than many of the por-
traits that hang over him at his desk,
but as he sits there in action he has
the rapid-fire tactics Of Billy Sun
day with infinitely more finesse; the
compelling exnortations of MOODY
and Sankey'' with more substance
and less song; and the insistence and
drive of any good manager with the
added tactical facility Of a young
Plattsburg lieutenant. But with all
this the postmaster general has what
Welfare well Workers designate as the 80.
cial mind" In short, the picture of
Mr.. Hays at his desk is unique, and
does not fit in with any other, par
ticularly with that of no other cabl-
net member, member of congress or

Twenty years ago news story from
Washington says land in the Louisiana
parish of Tangipahoa was worth so cents
an acre and human life was worth scarce
ly anything at all. 1t was case of cause
and effect. Then the immigrants came.
They were chiefly Italians and Hun
garians. They had lived at home on land
that was poorer than the Tangipahoa.
They practiced intensive cultivation. To-
day their parish is one of the greatest
strawberry farming districts in the United
States. Land that sold for so cents is
now worth $1OO an acre. And the school
authorities have practiced intensive culti-
walton on the human products of that land.

EVIDENCE OLDER THAN BIBLE

What the discoverer claims to be evil
dence Older than the Bible by two or three
thousand years, that woman had nothing
to do with the downfall of the human
race, was produced by the museum of the
University of Pennsylvania in the form
of new set of translations by DR.. Ste
phen Herbert Langdon.
Doctor Langdon is now professor of
Assyriology at Oxford university Eng
land. He was for three years curator of
the Babylonian section at the university
museum, and while there studied and
translated thousands of ancient clay tab
lets from the ruins of Nippur, in ancient
Babylonia.
The new book is the fourth in a series
depicting the religious life of the Sumer-
ians, mysterious race, the origin of
which is unknown, which was finally
swallowed up by the alter Semities Ac-
cording to one of the food stories in the
collection Noah ate the forbidden fruit
after he had been saved from the deluge.
This salvation was accomplished, ac-
cording to the Sumerian version, by
woman diety. There is no mention of
any Eve in the story. Clay tablets from
which this and other stories are taken are
said to be at least one thousand years
older than Babylonian tablets.
After the Sumerians had been extin-
guished in their political power, accord
ing to Doctor Langdon, the Babylonians
retained the language for ecclesiastical
purposes for many centuries, just as Latin
is now used in the Roman Catholic church.
y The Sumerian records at the university
provide an apparent history of mankind
back to $4,000. years before Christ, but
this is not considered absolutely authentic,
because many of the reigns of kings are
collateral. The Sumerians believed that
the food for 100000 years. According to
their story it was $4,000 years after the
deluge when Cyrus of Persia conquered
Babylonia.-Ex.

BASEBALL

The Montgomery Ward & Co. baseball
team from St. Paul were given thorough
drubbing by the locals last Saturday. By
the latter being able to pound out total
of fifteen hits, in seven inning game, it
enabled them to take the long end of
IA to count.
The visitors were slightly handicapped
at the opening of the game as four of their
players, who were travelling by automobile,
had some engine trouble, that caused their
delay. However, the game was started
with two local players filling up the gap,
but their services were not needed very
long for the tardy visitors arrived upon
the scene earlier than was expected, al
though the first round had been completed
before they got into the game.
Marsh was on the mound for the visi-
tors, and he worked for FIVE full innings,
and pitched to two batters in the sixth,
when he was relieved by Myers. Marsh's
offerings were accepted quite freely by
