'GOBS' GRIN DESPITE
 RAIN OF HARD LUCK
Face Desertion Charges After
 Six Months In Jail

NEW ORLEANS, August 26.-The typical American youth just won't be down-hearted, nor does he feel that a fall from grace amounts to anything. There arrived at the naval station here today four youthful and grinning s'gobs" smiling in spite of the fact that after six months in q Mississippi jail they have yet to face charges of deser- tion from the navy. They claimed they have just been 'absent without leave" and were willing to argue the point with anyone who believes otherwise.
 The youths are Joseph R. Hurt, Is, Charlotte, N. C.; J. H. Holland, IS, Steubenville, Ohio; +. O'Brien, IT, Johnstown, Pa., and W. E. Whitehead 19, Atlanta.
 The boys quit the destroyer Coghlan, at Galveston, Texas, six months ago, they said, and appropriating an auto mobile as a means of transportation, drove to New Orleans. From here they made their way into Mississippi, but the bangs of hunger began to be felt and the result was a trial and sen. tences of six months each, at Tutweiler, for robbing a store. Their terms ex- pired yesterday and a deputy escorted them to New Orleans and turned them over to the naval authorities.
 Some of the old heads at the station expressed the opinion that a spanking all around would be the most effec- tive punishment.

 TRADE REVIVAL
c. P. J. Mooney Of Mem phis Addresses Cotton
 States Merchants

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 26-Ad- dressing the eleventh annual conven- tion of the Cotton States Merchants association here today, c. F. J. Moo hey, publisher of The Commercial Ap- peal and vice president of the Asso- ciated Press, predicted a revival of business activity in the immediate fu- ture and declared the merchants Op- pOrtunity 'is as great today as it ever has been."
 Reviewing the events of the past decade, Mir. Mooney contrasted the sit- untion existing in August, 1914, with that of today, and declared progress had been achieved.
 And yet" he continued, it is the same old world. The same things that were required for success in life, in business, in social relations in 1914 are necessary today. You may not earn your bread in the sweat of your face; then you will have to earn it in the activity of your trained mind. If you let up in working with your hands you must compensate by working with your brain, and the more civilization develops, and the more closely the world gets together, you will be needed. But as methods of business change you must change your methods.
 Pocket your losses in old machin- cry and get new; watch your junk and discard cheap. Do not be too eager for new things. Do not confuse nov city with merit. If there is need for your business, though it may be mouse trap making, you can have moderate success at it. Do not confine legiti- mate buying, selling, merchandising with speculation, you cannot be a mer- cltant and speculator at the same time"

Scientific Interest in
Excavations at kish

In letter to the London Times of
January %. Professor Langdon. writ
ing from Mesopotamia, gives an ac-
count Of the results to date of this
seasons excavations at Kish. Among
an amount Of pearl and limestone in
laid work discovered In q mound con-
structed entirely Of planocOnvex
bricks. characteristic of the Oldest
Sumerian architecture, was a rectan-
gular tablet of slate which shows
king of Kish shifting his Sumerian
enemies. Their closely shaven heads,
cheeks and upper lips, but long boards,
indicate a date earlier than Ur-La
cash, C. 300 B. G. Taken with other
pearl heads found here, this disposes
Of the theory that the Semites Occu-
pied Kish In the prehistoric period.
The discovery north Of Inghara Of two
large Sumerian buildings in a state of
complete preservation has made pos
sible the preparation of the only
known plan Of large Sumerian pal
ace. Below the planO-convex brick
pavement, which cannot be later than
8100 B. c.. was an accumulated de-
posit of Is feet, representing at least
1900 to 1000 years previous occupa-
ton, and therefore going back to
about 5000 B. G. A complete sequence
of pottery from the earliest Sumerian
period down to ACKNOWLEDGMENT has
been established, and a series Of fine
copper implements has been found.
The general result Of the excavations
brings into prominence the enormous
extent of the ruins, which, If grouped
CONTINUOUSLY, would cover 120 acres.
the very great antiquity Of the site.
and the priority of the Sumerlans.
