Excavations at Kish
ShoU Mans Progress

Discovery of the stylus, the oldest
known writing instrument, in excava'
tons at Kish, the worlds most an
cient mystery city" has solved the
riddle of how cuneiform script was
written, it was stated by d. c. Davies
director of the Field museum at Chi
cagO.
Mr.. Davies stated that records of
mans progress dating back $500 years
had been excavated at Kish. He de-
clared indisputable evidence that the
Summerlans gave the art of writing to
the world.
These people, Mr.. Davies explained,
existed before 'the splendors of Baby
Ion" arose, and in the same country
as that occupied by the Babylonians
at a later day. Kish, their capital,
was nine miles from Babylon on the
banks of an old channel of the
Euphrates. 1t was a vast metropolis.

Bonus for Babies

With the idea of increasing the birth
rate in Greater Berlin, which is be-
low normal, the German city decided
that every new baby is to be given a
savings account of three gold marks
by the municipality. Where twins,
triplets or bankruptcies are born, ex-
ira bonuses are to be bestowed. The
savings account will be made out in
the name of the baby itself and will
draw interest. The money may be
Withdrawn from the bank only when

factory after a trip through the West
and Southwest on which he made a
careful survey of general economic con-
ditions. The points visited included
many OF the key cities such as st.
Louis and Kansas City, Mo-: Dallas
and San Antonio, Texas; New Or
leans and Shreveport, La, and Mem
phis, Tenn. In these cities Mr.. Dodge
interviewed leading bankers relative
to business conditions. 'The spring
outlook in Missouri territory is very
promising" said Mr.. Dodge. "The

linois is rapidly rectifying Itself. The
tense situations of the past in this
district have somewhat retarded sales,
but this field is expected to be open
for large volume of business this

1t is expected that the greatest volume
of 1924 spring business will come from
the urban population rather than from
the farmer. The agricultural outlook
in Missouri and Kansas is good at this
time, however, with a promising pros
pect for large wheat crop due to fav-
orable climatic conditions.

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

Mature is cruel" said the Cosmic Dream, CT, watching a fly trying to extricate itself from the hollow death-trap leaf of pitcher. plant, but relatively so. Our conception of cruelty is purely man-made. Disposition to give pain to others, willing of pleased to hurt, torment or affliet5 destitute of pity are definitions from the man made dictionary. Nature doesn't run the universe for our benefit. Was it Burroughs who. said she is our enemy?
 "She has given animals a sense. of pain for protection. She is economical and waste full of life at the same time. She does not protect us at the expense of the rest. If we all died she wouldn't notice. Only as we learn her laws and take advantage of them is she our friend. There are immense. deposits of petrified fishes in the world, their lives crushed out by the million in an instant. Race after race of dominant creatures died for no more reason than a change of climate.
 But no bird or animal, almost, dies of old age~or disease. They are spared 'miseries of old age and sickness" ...

THE BOGUS PRUNE.PIE

Michael Pupin was cheated in the first purchase he made on American soil, he tells us in his autobiography From Immigrant to Inventor" which has just received the Pulitzer prize for the best American. bieg. raphys He had only five cents in his pocket when he started out, ."eager to catch a glimpse of great New York, feeling, in the words of tn psalmist, as. strong man ready to run a race. An old lady sat near the gate of Castle Garden offering cakes and candies for sale. A piece of prune- pie caught my eye, and no true Serb can resist the al lurements of prunes. It is a national sweet meat. bought it, paying five cents for it. the only money had, and then I made bee line across Battery Park, at the same time attending to my pie.
 My first bargain in America proved a failure. The prune-pie was deception; it was prune-pie filled with prune bits, and 1 thought of the words of my fellow pas senger on the immigrant ship who had said No matter who you are CT what you know or what you have you will be a greenhorn when you land in America The prune pie transaction whispered into my ear Michael you are greenhorn; this is the first ex- perience in your life as a greenhorn. Cheer up! Get ready to serve your apprenticeship as a greenhorn before you can establish your claim to any recognition repeating the words of my prophetic fellow passenger who had served his apprenticeship in Ameica No prophet ever uttered truer word."

WALKERS WOMEN OFFICIALS

Walker county has two women candi- dates for county treasurer, a Democrat and Republican. The race is attracting interest. It is not thought that there will be any opposition by male candi- dates on an independent ticket, and the two aspirants to this office are expected to precipitate a lively contest, as both are active workers in politics, and each has many friends. and supporters. While Walker county is normally, Democratic, this contest is now regarded as uncertain, because of the standing and following of the candidates. One of them won the Democratic nomination over five male opponents, while the other has shown her capacity to get votes, having been county auditor since 1920, with a cred itable record.
 Walker county has shown no preju- dice against women occupying public office. A woman satisfactorily holds the office of circuit clerk. The voters of that county apparently have had no req son to regret electing women to public office. The positions of court clerk, treasurer and others that call for admin istrative qualifications of more or less clerical character seem we'll suited to women who are trained in work of the kind, and experience has shown that there are many women fitted for such positions. -. .-
 With equal suffrage in force, there is reason to believe that women more and more will demand recognition of their influence and service in public affairs, and that ere long much larger percent age of the offices filled by the electo- rate will be occupied by women. They are showing more disposition to partici- pate in practical politics. Their demand for greater rewards for political service will not be easy to resist. Women are realizing their influence as voting force as they learn more of the practical as- meet nf nnlitics

IS AMER1CAs EAGLE DooMEpg

The Alaska eagle is the American eagle. A bounty has been put on its head because it occasionally catches a salmon. Man takes 10000 salmon daily, while the eagle takes two or three. Some kind of makeshift req son always is ready as an excuse for killing the wild birds. It is as nothing that life has gone from sky line and from the landscape.
 Some thousands of Whitehead eagles have been killed in Alaska by bounty seekers. An attempt is being made by nature lovers to secure the repeal of the bounty law. They are having hard work to get hearing. The eagle killers make money in their trade and cash being the base of the evil, it will be difficult to uproot it.
 There arc comparatively few eagles in the United States proper. Friends of the birds thought that the eagle had a, safe refuge in Alaska but persecution has found it out there as elsewhere. f
 If birds of prey were as prolific as the song birds there would be some hope that even after years of persecution they could come back into their own. The eagle fami- lies, however, are small. Frequently there is only one eagIet to a nest. It is to be hoped the bounty law of Alaska will be repealed to save a noble bird from extinction-OutdoOr AmpFicn.
