One Young Woman Fights Six Railroads

equipment and three more palace
busses on their way from the factory
each costing $11,0OO-the stakes In
the fight are of considerable import to
Miss Schultz, but she Is facing the
fight with smile, just as she faced
with a smile the problem of develop
ing her bus line from single bus OPP
Grating between Charles City and
Waverly, n distance of 80 miles, to its
present size In a period Of Is months.
Three competing bus lines have en-
tered the field since Miss Schultz
launched her business In Mason City
and have been sent to cover.
IL like fight IL the odds aren't too
great against me-" said Miss Schultz.
And she doesn't think they are when
it's n mere matter Of fighting six rail-
roads.
This remarkable figure in the trans
portation world was doing clerical
work in a railroad Office in Duluth
only three or four years ago, follow
ing her course in business college
there. With $500 which came to her
from an estate. she purchased her first
bus. 1t succeeded. She bought others.
They, too, prospered, and she kept on
adding to her equipment until she has
the finest fleet Of palace cars In the
entire Middle West.

Goddess Nintu, Ziugidda, and the Flood

markable likeness to the stories In
Genesis.
When the world became so wicked
it had to be destroyed, the gods be-
came angry at the goddess and put an
end to everything with flood. The
only beings saved were a man, Ziu-
gidda, and his family. with the anil
mails which he put In an ark.
In the Sumerian account, It seems
that the goddess Nintu was an impor-
tant member of the heavenly house
hold, ranking with seven other gods
who existed before man. These gods
didn't like blondes, hence the flood.
Theories as to the age of the earth
and the time Of the creation are also
provided by these Sumerian tablets at
the University museum. One indicates
that there were about 100000 years
from the creation to the food.
Another entirely new chronology
found in these museum tablets gives
the period from the flood to about 230
years before Hammurabi as, 1929
years some months (exact figures un-
decipherable) and 18 days. Hammur-
abb ruled about 210O b. g. This brings
the creation a full 494,553 years be-
fore the Christian era, or 496, ,463 years
from A. d. 1923.

kins Of Wyoming, the winner Of this
years endurance test In Colorado. Red
Cloud, entered by the Morgan Horse
club with "Babe" Courvaiseur up, also
paraded.
Senator James w. Wadsworth, Jrs
announced the winners and awarded
the prizes. In his presentation address
he complimented the riders on their
stamina, saying that this years per-
f6rmance stood highest In the history
of the seven similar contests held so
far, five In the East and two in the
West.
The cowboys, five Of whom came
from Texas and trained their mounts
for three months here In anticipation
of entering the ride, were sportsman
like in their nonchalant acceptance Of
defeat /
The officials were unanimous In de-
claring this years endurance ride a
fair and comprehensive test for each
of the different breeds entered. The
fact that ten horses finished the entire
distance in 45 hours set record for
subsequent endurance riders.
The purpose of the tests Is to aid the
selection Of sires for the Army Re-
mount service.

HILADELPHIA.-V TO the
H. University cf Pennsylvania mu-
scum are now privileged to see
the tablet, 1000 years old, from
which Prof. Stephen ii. Langdon some
years ago deciphered the Sumerian
story of the creation Of mankind by a
goddess.
This story of the beginning Of the
world, which dates back even before
the time the Biblical narrative was
written, is contained in broken tab
let seven inches square, part of q col
lection unearthed by the. university ex-
pedition at Nippus few years ago.
Since that time Assyriologists and
scholars at the university have been
busy deciphering the tablet. Accord
Ing to this story, which was written
centuries before the Christian era, the
world was created by black-haired
goddess, Nintu, who had a special
aversion to BLONDES. Hence when she
went about the task of creating men,
the tablet says, she mile her creatures
dark-skinned.
The broken tablet, which Is credited
to the Sumerians, who lived neighbors
to the Babylonians back In 25O0 b. c.,

story Of the Deluge and shows q re-

Hawaiian Islands Snakeless Paradise

Barcellos then walked up to the
little snake and struck blow which
crushed its head. He was the hero
of the dayl The crowd closed in and
for several hours the snake was on
public display. 1t was viewed by
thousands of Hawaiians and other
people of the islands who had never
before seen a snake-it was the talk
of the city.
Federal officials here were notified
that snake had been killed here.
The snake was sent to L. A. whitney,
inspector Of agriculture and forestry,
who was unable to determine defi-
nitely the species to which II be-
longed. It was then sent to Bishops
museum In Honolulu where II was
classified AZ of the common garter
snake variety. II II only fourteen
inches long. 1t will be carefully pre-
served In alcohol and made q part Of
the strange collection OF animal life
In the Hawaiian islands at the head
quarters Of the board of agriculture
and forestry here. How this lone
snake got here II q mystery. It II
supposed that II came over from the
mainland in a case Of merchandise
packed In dry grass. W H \
Unlike Ireland. snakes were never
driven out Of the Hawaiian islands.
SO far as tradition and scientific
knowledge goes, no kind Of reptile
ever made its home here. Even the
importation of snakes for exhibitioD
purposes II stricfiv prohibited.
