Worlds Oldest Books
Reveal 'tMissing Lin"

Aided by a sharp chisel, DR.. Fl. Lutz
Of the University of California has
Just finished reading the oldest book
known to man. The task has taken
him 20 years. The chisel was neces-
sary because the book" Is a series
of clay tablets about the size OF a
pocket notebook, each incased IN
baked-clay sheath, which had to be
Clipped away by the sharp tool.
Dating from period between 2,OOO
and $500 years before Christ, the book
Is part Of the records of the little
known Hittite empire, and explains
hitherto battling mysteries of ancient
civilization.
The tablets were dug up in the
ruins of the Hittite capital, near An
CORA, Turkey, with other letters ana
documents, all inscribed on sun-baked
clay and filed away just as modern
business firm keeps its records. Inc
writing was done while the clay was
soft. When a tablet was to be sent
any distance, powder was sprlnkled
over the text and the tablet wrapped
In a soft wet clay envelope. Inc
powder prevented sticking, and the
recipient broke off the clay wrapper
with a thin chisel.
The text, as Doctor Lutz found II
under the clay envelope, was In the
cuneiform or wedge-shaped charac-
ters of ancient writings. Once natives
of the country known as HAITI, now
modern Turkey, the Utilities are dis
closed by Doctor Lutz's translation as
a sort OF missing link" between
Babylonian and Greek culture. Such
Biblical tales as those Of Moses, Saul,
and David, as well as the legends OF
the Had and the Odyssey, the origins
Of which have long been a mystery
are revealed by the tablets to have
come down to us from the Babylon
lans and Chaldeans through the Hit
ltes-Popular Science Monthly.

Court Of Claims building there Is
gallery containing portraits Of noted
Iurists. The benches In the court were
originally in the house of representa-

John Randolph, John G. Calhoun and
other statesmen of that period. If one

"Aufo's" DeriU0fion

The word automobile was taken
from the Greek auto" meaning self,
plus the Latin 'mobilis," meaning
movable. 1t is Of French origin and
is an adjective used as a noun. In its
first usage 1t was applied only to
pleasure vehicles or carriages. The
term was created to meet the sudden
demand for a word to describe the
horseless, or self-propelling vehicle.

Fewer Umbrellas Used

steady decline in the demand for
umbrellas the last ten years, is re-

umbrella. Some homes kept one for

are not carrying them. The automo-

us. Now almost as many automobiles
are lost as were umbrellas 20 years

grasped when it is borne in mind that
there were eight of these hospitals in
operation, in some of which there
were as high as forty patients at a
time, and that they were scattered
throughout the different portions of
the County, the doctors were con-
stantly on the go driving from one
to the other, as was also the Secre-
tary Of the Red Cross, who kept
them all under supervision, many
lives were saved, and the mortality
experience of these hospitals, consid-
ring the severity of the epidemic,
was exceptionally good, there being
but seven deaths of hospitalized
cases in the County. In addition to
starting and maintaining these hos
pitfalls, for a period of ten days or two
weeks throughout the severest part
of the epidemic the Red Cross had
driver out patrolling the isolated dis
tricts making daily calls at the diff
ferent homes to make sure that no
families were sick and cut off from
communication, and unable to get
help.
This experience emphasized the ne
cessity for hospital facilities, and re-
suited in the organization Of two hos
pital societies in Sheridan County,
one at Plentywood, and one at Out
look. At Outlook building was
built and equipped; while not large
it is exceptionally well planned, and
fully equipped with the necessary
instruments and apparatus, and it
has been of the highest possible value
to the whole 500 Line territory, and
the community served thereby. At
Plentywood the Hospital Association
took over the Community Hall, re-
modelled it, finished it inside and out,
furnished it, and installed the most
modern of equipment, making of it
a strictly modern, up-to-date hospi-
tai, which is operated continuously,
and very successfully serving the
needs of the territory tributary to
the Great Northern Railway. The
Red Cross aided literally and gener-
ously in equipping both of these in
stitutions, and each has saved many
lives, and done much to prevent dis
ease and physical suffering in it's
community.
