HAD HIGHEST SOCIAL IDEAS
Marriage Relations Among Early As
syrians Subjected to the Strictest
Code of Human Laws.

Marriage relations among the early
Assyrians were subject to strict code
Of laws, 1t is now learned from a val
liable cultural document made ac-
cessible to the scientific world in a
German translation of the cuneiform
text preserved In the Asiatic division
of the Berlin Photographed museum.
The early Assyrian lawmakers had
this code inscribed on a set of clay
tablets, unearthed during the excava-
lions of the German Asiatic society In
Mesopotamia. By comparing this find
with other prehistoric documents, the
date of these tablets has been estab-
lished around HOO B. c., which would
coincide with the reign of Tiglat-Pile-
sar I.
The rights and duties of married
women and the punishments imposed
for the infringements Of these laws,
and as the marital relations Of ma
ton have always been regarded as
reliable barometer Of Its culture, this
discovery throws an interesting light
upon early Assyrian social conditions.

What America Is Doing

The United States relief admins
tration controls 1900 kitchens in
the famine stricken zone in Russia.
Nearly three million children are
being fed daily. Adding the adults
to the list there are 100000 in all
who receive food from the relief adj
ministration in Russia.
The area of American bounty en-
braces a territory as wide as the
United States itself-from Petrograd
to Odessa. Funds approaching the
$60,0O0,000 mark have been spent.
An organization directed by 140 Am
orleans controls the activities of a.
900 Russian relief workers.
Every ounce of food is carefully
checked as it advances from the ports
of entry to the distributing depots,
and checked again before it energies
in the form of individual rations.
The American relief administra-
tons chief concern is for the chill
dren. By scientific systematization,
a well-balanced and variegated diet
is served from such staples as con-
densed milk, white flour, cocoa,
beans, peas and rice.
The relief scheme includes ways
and means for regular weighing and
measuring of under nourished chill
dren, in order that correctives may
Americas relief activities in Russia
be applied where necessary. Grant

a proper carefulness, that weighs
proposition and looks all round its OBJ
ject ere acceptance.
A man who investigates before he
buys, who considers alternatives and
who asks questions before deciding,
who makes no leap in the dark, is not
open to the reproach of one whose
folly of fret" merely leads him in
frantic circles, like tethered donkey
All his fuss and clamor issue in no
thing but an ecstasy of motion and
emotion.
Man-power is too precious to be
thrown away in these gyrations that
are the pantomime of futility.
Give us more of the calm, big men
who plan and then proceed.
They seem to have time. They do
not operate in hutter and fever
resembling the hen-yard or the stock
pen. They make up their minds and
preserve their equanimity. Seeing
them so cool and SO controlled, those
who do everything in panic or
paroxysm try their best to excite them
by telling them the house is burning
down or the world is coming to an
end.
But these quiet and capable ones
is not for man to say when his own
life or his own work shall end. In
trust and peace they continue on their
way-avoiding "the folly Of fret" that
victimizes and weakens other men.

Sex and Common Sense

copyright, 1922, by Frank Crane)
Miss A. Maude Royden is the as
sistant preacher at the City Temple,
London.
She is the only woman mentioned
among the high religious lights in the
volume Painted Windows" the last
interesting production of "The Gentle
man With The Buster"
She has just published a book in
New York and London entitled "Sex
and Common Sense" The book, curl
ously enough, contains reading matter
which justifies the title.
There is no subject upon which
every human being needs to use all
the intelligence he has or can borrow
comparable to- the question of sex.
The instinct which leads us to avo ID
the topic is doubtless decent one.
But like every other instinct it can
be carried too far and do precisely the
harm it intends to avoid.
Most books on this topic pay too
much attention to preversions. and de-
pravities and not enough to normal
ity.
"Ordinary men and women" says
Miss Royden, want first to know how
to live ordinary human lives on high
err level and after nobler pattern
than before, and we believe the first

Instinct Of Prairie Dogs.

Prairie dogs seem to have some
kind Of foreknowledge of the wealth
er, If observers at the New York Zoo
logical park are right. Now and then
the large members Of the colony loosen
the earth round their MOUNDS with
their forefeet, then shovel the sell up
ward with their hind feet. Other
members work inside the burrow,
throwing out earth to aid in the build
ing. When a dyke has Been built, the
animals lamp the earth down with
their heads-an amusing sight. As
these operations invariably take place
before storm, the obvious purpose Is
to build dam that will keep the wa
ter from running into the burrow.

essential is to realize that the sex pro-
blem, as it is called, is the problem of
something noble, not something base.
The sex instinct is not the Fall of
Man, neither is it an instance of di-
vine wisdom on which moralists could,
if they had only been consulted in
time, greatly have improved. 1t is a
thing noble in essence. 1t is the de-
velopment of the higher, not the low
er creation"
The book keeps this tone up right
through and is sound and whole
some effort to treat this problem, not
as some dreadful mumbo-jumbo
heather tabu, but as great and de-
termining factor of life.
In this matter knowledge may have
slain it's thousands, but ignorance has
certainly slain it's tens of thousands.
Some day or other we must outlive
the notion that ignorance has any
thing to do with holiness and must
get to the point where we see that
there can be no sacredness, that is
really sacred, that does not rest upon
facts. The sex problem is inescap-
able. 1t cannot be banished. And
the only way to make it a sweet and
helpful asset to life is intelligently to
idealize it and make it the companion
of beauty and loyalty and of rever
ence.
AS J. Arthur Thomson says, cit is
notably difficult to speak wisely about
sex and the better counsel is oftener
silence, but Miss Maude Royden's book
is the exception that proves the rule.
She has spoken with wisdom and with
out fear"

IouHu human skeletons enchantlng-

The fat people have apparently
one advantage over the thin people.
They can reduce; but it has always
been a more serious problem for the
thin ones to amplify. On the other
hand, thin people can keep warm in
winter with extra clothing, but fat
people cannot keep cool in summer
by the opposite process. This is what
led Oliver Wendell Holmes to express
the wish, on hot July day, that he
might clay off his flesh and sit in his
bones."
With sufficient resources at COM
mand, there is no reason to be I'M
necessarily or noticably lean. In
either case there may be faulty judy
ment, inadquate information on the
subject, or illness symptomatically
manifesting itself in leanness or OBJ

Among the noblest benefactors of
mankind have been those who were
very fat or very lean.-Buffalo Times.

No Standard OF Weight.

The bureau Of railway economics
says there is no standard for the
weight of railroad rail. This depends
entirely on the traffic the particular
road Is handling. Usually rails are
not measured by the foot. but by the
yard. Formerly railroads used the
eO-pound rail per yard, but now most
roads use the 1OO-pound rail. The Vir-
gilman railroad Is using 120-pound
rail, as it handles very heavy traffic

under the supervision of the govern
ment until completed, he declared
That the association has issued
strip maps from New. York to the
California line and has been dis
tributing these and other maps and
literature concerning points of in
terest along the entire route, look
ing to the comfort and consideration
of tourists, he stated. He states
that it is the intention of the as
sociation to open up branch of
flee in Salt Lake, to see to it that
travel is directed over the Victory
highway route into California, in
stead of allowing it to be diverted
either to the north or south of Salt
Lake as it is now being done.
When once this office is opened, he
declared, a tremendous difference
will be noticed in the tourist traffic
coming this way. In order to open
this office in Salt Lake, Mr.. Blow
states, he is making trip to Cali
fornia to secure memberships in
the association, it being necessary
to raise $4,000 by this method to
operate that office during the COM
ing year. He is visiting all the
principal cities and towns along the
route in Nevada asking residents
to taken an interest inthe highway
and securing memberships where
possible.
Mr.. Blow and Mr.. Goodin expect
to leave today for Lovelock and
will hold similar meeting in that
city tomorrow night. That members
to the association will be solicited
here is evidenced by the fact that
E. H. Gilman introduced a motion
at the meeting last night for the
authorization of such motion on
the part Of a committee for that
purpose, the motin being carried.
1t is stated by Secretary Grady
that about % memberships have
been secured here SO far today and
that local citizens are showing a
great deal of enthusiasm in the
work of the association.

TARIFF BILL BADLY
M|SREPREsENTED

ON BOARD S. S. SOUTHLAND
August 18.-With the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff bill to be voted on by
the Senate tomorrow, people begin
to wonder how much time will be
consumed on it by the conference
committee to which it must go; the
speculation strays into contempla-
ton of what the House may do to
the conference report, and so on.
Will the permanent tariff bill be
passed at this session of Congress?
There is no use of going into the
matter of rates of duty as they may
appear in the amended Senate bill.
Anything may happen to any rate
or schedule.
Misrepresentation of this tariff
bill has been appalling. 1t is safe
to say that "the public" knows next
to nothing of how it now stands;
and present knowledge is useless
anyway. Misrepresentation of all
tariff bills has been general. 1t may
not be generally known that not
until late in 1910 was official infor-
nation of the tariff act Of 1909
published for general use. This was
Document 948, Sixty-frst Congress.
1t was printed in parallel columns
and bore the title Comparison of
the Tariffs of 1897 and 1909"
Such publication after the
Fordney-McCumber act shall have
been completed, if widely circulated,
probably will put a stop to misrep-
resentation of the new measure
and will do much to insure the
permanency of the new law and of
the national policy of protection.
Another bit of contemplate mis-
representation which has caused ex-
element across the country ap-
parently, and occassioned no end
of trouble at Washington, was the
rumor that President Harding would
draft" railroad men to operate
the roads in case they were taken
over by the Government.
The thing became so bad that
telegraphic inquiries and protests
were coming in to the office of
every Senator and Representative.
