RUINS OF CHALDEA
VIE WITH EGYPT
Brick Buildings Erected Thirty-six
Centuries Before Christian Era
Found at Ur.
CBy Associated Press Leased wirel


London, Eng. Brick walls, believ-
ed to have been erected thirty-six
centuries before the Christian era
have been discovered among the ruins
recently unearthed at Ur, the Chal-
dean city, according to a Bagdad dis
patch to The Times. The correspond
ent quotes G. L. Wooley, leader of
the archaeological expedition as say
ing that the ruins comprise the tenn
pie of the Moon God and his and his
consort, part of which was brought
to light in 1918. The discovery in
that year, uncovered the bachelor
quarters of the God, while the ruins
now found are believed to have been
his harem. A fragment of a stone
vase has been dug out upon which
there is a representation of the moon
and his goddess receiving the adora-
ton of worshippers. The carving is
believed to have been done 1000
years before Christ.
The excavators also discovered in
the inner room of the temple some
jewelry of the period of Nebuchad-
near, who rebuilt the shrine in the
sixty century, B. c., carefully pre-
serving the original plans. Many
alabaster vases and inscribed door
sockets have been found. One of the
latter bears the inscription 'Dursin."

Debating Many Vast
Civic Improvements

Dublin.-Despite all the turmoil and
Encouragement in Ireland at the pres
,ent time, there are on foot two grea
and expensive projects for the i'm
provement of the city of Dublin.
Elaborate plans for enormous changes
have been prepared, which would make
a new modern city out of the old. The
promoters of the principal plan esti-
mate it's cost at ten million pounds
sterling, while its critics put the cost
at over thirty million, and there is no
visible source from which either sum
could be raised.
One plan is to build large centra'
railway station near the ruined custom
house, and turn the custom house into
a new post office. Since the destruction
of the post Office in Easter week, 1916
Dublin has had no central post office
except inadequate makeshifts, and even
the makeshift was completely de
stroyed in the fighting which followed
the capture of the Four Courts last
July.
Another element in the plan is the
building of d new Parliament House on
the site Of the Royal Hospital at Xii
mainham. This historic building was
until this year, the residence Of the
commander of the British forces, anc
also a hospital. The COMMANDMENT
chief and the invalids have all gone
and the place is now at the disposal OF
the Irish government
The Free State Senate is now housed
in the art museum, and the Dali in the
adjoining Leinster House, taken over
temporarily from the Royal Dublin So
ciety. A new parliament house vii!
sooner or later have to be built. The
Kilmainham proposal has been crit
cized by those who think that the Irish
Parliament should be housed in the
Bank of Ireland, once the scene o.
Grattans Parliament But the gov
eminent does not consider the bank
premises suitable, and even the senti-
mental association of the place is de-
cried by some, who point out that the
Free State is not the inheritor of the
Grattsn tradition, but of the tradition
of Theobald Wolfe Tone for complete
Irish independence.

Dogs Have Their Day
On English Track
(By United Press)

Liverpool-Dogs had their day today
when sixty-four prize greyhounds COM
peted for the Waterloo Cup (the
dogs Derby" and chief event of
Europe's coursing season., on the ia
nous Altcar track.
The competition continues for three
days, until the best pair are weeded
out to compete in the final.
Coursing is sport which in Eng
land, is confined almost to the ex-
tremes of society. The lowest of the
low, racetrack sharps, all kinds of
crooks, poachers, ETC., are passionately
attached to coursing. While the mid
classes stand aloof, the highest
grades of sporting society are equally
enthusiastic about the sport. Gener-
ally speaking, the Waterloo Cup meet
ing is society affair, but no thor
oughbred dog is barred, however hum
BILE its ownership, and the meeting at
tracts an extraordinary mixture of
patrons.
Dog breeders high and low, rich and
poor assemble to witness and criticize
the efforts of the best dog-blood IN
Britain, and huge prices are offered
for the winner, or other capable per-
formers, for breeding purposes, The
dogs are loosed in pairs after hare
and points are awarded for cleverness
in cutting off or killing the hare.

NASH SHIPMENTS
SHOW INCREASE
Ship More in One and Half
Months in 1923 Than in
Three in 1922.
PUBLIC IS PLEASED

AS evidence of the country's return
as "good times" and indicating also
increasing preference on the part, of
the public for Nash cars, shipments
from the factories of The Nash Motors
company for the first month and one
half this year, exceeded total COM
bined shipments of January, February
and March 1922.
''In 1921 there were built and ship
per 10000 Nash cars" said E. H. Nc
Carly, sales manager of The Nash
Motors company. LAST year 10000
Nash cars went into the hands of buy
ers. This year the demand is far
greater than at any time in the his
tory of the company, as evidenced by
shipments during the first month and
one-half of 1923. This progress is
both swift and sound; improvements
and refnements embodied in Nash
cars, which met with instant approval
on the part of the public, have made
certain a continuance of the demand.
There will be a shortage of Nash cars
this spring. This is plainly indicated
in the heavy demand and present con-
dition of the railroads with respect to
the handling of freight"
Have Made Needed Extensions.
Plant extensions, made necessary by
the increasing preference for Nash
cars, have given Nash Motors 900
additional square feet of manufactur-
ing space Including the Nash Six
plant at Kenosha, the Nash Four plant
at Milwaukee and the Seaman Body
plants also at Milwaukee, one-half
ownership of which is vested in Nash
Motors, the company has all told 155
acres of ground and over 100000
square feet of floor space devoted to
the process of production.
Nash Four Plant Doubled.
Capacity of the Nash Four plant has
been doubled, as has also the main
plant of the closed body factory. One
building just completed at the Nash
Four plant lis 600 feet along, 100 feet
wide and three stories high; it has
10000 square feet of floor space
The power plant at the Nash factory
also has been doubled in size and
capacity.
1t is pointed out that the extensions
to the four cylinder plant will effect
a greater capacity for the Nash Six
as we'll, owing to the fact that many
operations on the Four have been trans
ferred from Kenosha to Milwaukee.

Conspiracy Not Held on Charges.
in New York.
Az Associated Press Leased Wire

New York City.-"Nickey" Arnstein,
recently convicted in Washington in
connection with a $5,00O,000 bond plot,
after figuring in many New York cpl
sodes of high finance, was out on bail
today after his latest arrest last night
with E. M. Fuller, bankrupt broker, and
four other men on charges of grand
larceny. No charges were placed
against three women arrested with the
men. They were released after having
been questioned. The six men, released
on $4,000 bail each, owed their arrest
to the discovery in the possession of
one of their number of travelling bag
filed with miscellaneous securities
which the police said they were unable
to explain. Investigation was being
made of an alleged brokerage business
which the six, according to police, in
tended to open in Cleveland with Gus
toners to be drawn from the middle
