remarkable discoveries made during December In
previous report I had given account of
the little temple Of Tel el Obeid about four miles
from ur. The excavation of the building Is now
complete and far fuller idea can be got of what
Is by II good deal the oldest example of building
construction yet known.
"a marble tablet was discovered Inscribed in
Sumerian which records that this the temple
of the goddess Nn-khur-sag, built in her honor by
the king of Ur. A-an-nf-pad-da, and the latter is
known to us from the king lists drawn up about
1000 b. c. as the ruler of the first dynasty of Ur,
the third dynasty to reign after the flood. Taken
at its face value, the Sumerian chronology would
assign our statues and reliefs to date somewhere
about 1900 b. c.; if that chronology has to
be modified. we can yet suy that months work

handwriting and the oldest known trumphs of
the art of Tubal-Cain.

afforded us disproportionate satisfaction. 1t was

title of the who built this the oldest building
in the world still standing above ground King
A-nnnlpnd-da of Ur, who, If Sumerian chronology
is right. regned about $500 B. c.
"A broad flight Of stone steps led to a platform
about twenty feet high the south corner of
which stood the temple proper, its gate tower
fronting on the stairway, Its fncade set back from
the edge of the platform to leave narrow
step, on which stood row of statues of bulls sculp-
tured in the round.
These stood some three feet high and were
made of thin copper plates beaten up over
wooden Their heads were turned out to face
the spectator and their horns of gold

that the inscription in the temple of Nin-khur-

The other is that the great towers which marked

overthrow Sodom and Ciomorrah. 1t shall never
be Inhabited. But the wild beasts of the
desert shall lie there. and their houses shall be
full of doeful creatures; and owls shall dwell
there, and satyrs shall dance there.
Isaiah's prophecy was almost literally fulfilled.
For more than two thousand years this land was
forgotten. When its civilization perished this
garden spot went back quickly to wderness-in
the north to barren wastes In the south to swamp
and jungle. The great cities, being built OF sun
dried brick, collapsed into great mounds of clay
which resemble eroded hills.
But the pendulum of time has swung again.

be locked by means of paddock, how

as affording additional protection
against car theft. AS Indicated, the

Jones used to buy bulbs for his car
which either threw out as much IL
Elimination as glow worm. or burnt
out almost Immediately. 1t cost him
quite some money before he found
that even the ornery little headlight
bulb had to be humored exactly as
did the engine.
What Jones didn't know was that
every car has an individual lighting
system of either a six-volt, twelve
volt or eighteen-volt plant; that the
manufacturer either connected each
lamp socket to two separate wires
double contact basel, or used the
metal framework of the car for re-
turn, running only one wire to each
socket (singie contact base).
House Lamps Uniform.
Jones thought that motor lamps
could be bought as one buys his house
lamps. That lamps for home lighting
were uniform in certain communities.
That both cellar and parlor lights
were of the same voltage? He was
right about the home lighting, but
wrong about his automobile lamps
|. One day he ran into an accessory
store where the salesman knew his
business. This chap passed Jones
few questions that got him all bawled
up:
What voltage is your battery? Do
you want n single or double contact
lamp and what candle power? Or,
dc you want b or c lump?" inquired
the salesman.
II don't know" stammered Jones, Il
thought"
"But you shouldn't guess at an i'm
portant thing like that" snapped the
salesman! ITS fellows like you that
buy blindly and then run down the
lamp manufacturer simply because you
don't know what type lamp is needed.
You can't buy any OF our lamps until
you find out what kind your car should
carry"
Jones Acknowledged Mistake.
Jones went home furious. AS soon
as he quit seeing red he dug up the
cars instruction book and started to
read it. Interested, he went over to
the local library and made thorough
study of motor lamps in general. Then
he went back to this salesman and
bought his lamps, apologized, thanked
him for saving him future money,
and Installed the new lamps. His
lighting troubles have all disappeared.
He acknowledges that he was at fault
that he went about his headlight
troubles with light head-and tina;
the manufacturer did make good
lamps.
Reader, are you in Jones' predica-
ment, or did you become acquainted
with your lamps in time to save money
and temper? That salesman sure had
the right idea. He woke Jones up and
Jones reciprocated by becoming
steady customer.

 The matter of having the city pay for white caps, which have been bought for summer wear for members of the traffic squad was also discussed but the commissioners did not feel as though the officers should expect the city to purchase these caps when no other part of the police equipment was bought by the city. There is no provision in the city charter which allows the city to pay for uniform equipment. Commissioner Parker said, and therefore the board could not authorize the payment of this bill The caps cost $2.5O and the officers will be obliged to pay for their own.
