palace of the city's priest-king, which usually adjoined the tower.
 Politically, Babylon was not yet a nation. Ur. Umma and Lagash were city-states comparable in their pride and prowess to Florence, Venice and Milan of medieval Europe.
 How they came to clash is easily understood by noting their plan. In the center were tower and palace, around these were dwellings, and this cluster of buildings was trimmed with cultivated land. Beyond this cultivat- ed belt was the pasture land, netted with irrigation canals, always held in common. As the towns grew and more grazing land was needed trouble arose. And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abraham's s cattle and the herdmen of Lots cat tle.
 Contrast to Egyptian Life.
 "The contrast between this town life period of Babylonia and the Empire of Egypt was as great as that between our own New England com munities of the mid eighteenth cen tury and the regal splendor of France under Louis XIV.
 This small town period of Baby lonia disappeared, however with the conquests of Sargon, King of Akkad (not the Assyrian) who ruled nearly 2,5o0 years before Tutankhamen was inferred.
 Wine Merchants Supervised.
 Further explorations among the remains of the city of Abraham will be secondary to the greatest single find in this region-the code of Ham, murabi. This scholarly king ruled in Babylon about 2,300 B. C., and the laws he codified are proof of high civilization built up through many centuries before his time.
 Raids on gay road-house parties were common in those days. Wine selling was regulated and the enforce ment was put squarely up to the ven- der One section of the penal code provided, If a wine merchant has al- lowed riotous characters to assemble in her house, and those riotous char acters fshe) has not seized and driv- en to the palace, that wine merchant shall be put to death.'

ENGLISH MAKING EFFORT FOR
 IA FIXED DATE FOR EASTER
Lord Desborough Leads Group o Men Who Wish to Sec An Agree
 ment on Day.

London, April 6.-An effort is be- ing made by a number of English men led by Lord Desborough to ob- tain general agreement on the ques- ton of fixed date for Easter.
 Lord Desborough recently stated that a motion to this effect will be offered at the next meeting of the International Chamber of Commerce on the ground that the variance of Easter is inconyenient not only to business people, but also to the legal profession and to schools and uni versailles. He will leave next month for Rome to ask the Pope to consider the matter.
 It is understood that the heads of the Church of England have already been approached on the subject, but that they had not the power to change the present system.
 It has been suggested that the sec ond Sunday in April should be fixed as the immovable date.

Possibilities of Recent Findings in
 Tomb Of Tutankhanlen

Washington, D. C., April G. "With the civilized world still amazed at the tangible evidences of $500 years ago found in Tutankhamen' s tomb, come dispatches telling how the time line of recorded history even now Is being pushed farther back in Mesopotamia." says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society.

AMERICAN LEGION

Comrades of the Legion in the
homeland, this is just little talk be-
tween US, members of Paris Post No.
/, and you cover therein the
United States. 1t is a talk on a sub
ject that is dear and sacred to all our
people, but more especially to those
war, for it is about the graves of our
buddies overseas.
The flag is still here. Day in and
day out it is flying from tall white
stats in France, in Belgium, Scot
land, Ireland and Spain. In soldierly
array, rank on rank, beneath those
staffs, 30,587 of your comrades are
camping for all eternity. And yet,
how often do you stop to think of
them?
The flag is still here. Away up on
the edge of things, at Romagne where
you helped write the closing chapters
of the war, it is flying about the
white crosses and the white stars of
thousands of your buddies. At Thiau-
court and Fere-en-Tardenois, at Bel
leau and at Bony, ground hard won
from the enemy, and at Suresnes,
near Paris, "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" still waves. At Waereghem, in
Belgium, and across the channel in
the British Isles, and in sunny Spain,
the Flag is daily flying about the
graves of our dead.
The flag is still here. And at these
cemeteries it will continue flying for
all time. for these 3O,5S7 American
soldiers and sailors are here to stay.
When "Taps" has sounded for the
American veteran of the World War,
when the American Legion will have
closed it's books forever, the Flag will
still be here, for these sacred ceme-
teries are decided in perpetuity to our
country by the nations within whose
borders they lie. They are as much
American soil as Arlington, and
above them the Flag will forever
wave.
The flag is still here. But will we
always remember, and will there al
ways be some one to take upon them
selves the task of seeing that on each
Memorial Day of the future, long
after the present generation and the
one to come have passed away, each
of these 30.587 graves will have it's
flowers and its Flag? We the men,
bers of the Paris Post of the Amer
lean Legion answer eyes Even when
death shall have closed our post, the
Memorial Day of that time will be
observed overseas in the same sacred
manner as it is today.
The flag is still here. We have here

To Mine 40 Million Tons.

st. Paul-Minnesota' iron ore mines
will produce approximately 40,000,000
tons of ore this year in the opinion
of F. A. Wildes, state superintendent
of mines This .gure is within g.
100000 tons of the 1916 production,
the highest on record. The heavy
iron tonnage this year will reflect di-
rectly in the gross earnings taxes paid
by railroads serving the iron ranges.
1t is predicted that the gross earnings
taxes will net the state 100000 as a
result of the activity on the iron
ranges.
