H|TT|TE SIGNS
 CLOSELY STUDIED
New Clues to Language Secrets
 Are Sought

Chicago, June o9 R-When the tower Of Babel was well on its way to assuming the height of sky scraper" of 50 years ago, the Bible tells that labor had to be stopped because all the workmen were stricken with an epidemic of for eign languages.
 Scientists are searching for an- other explanation or how the Jsari- GUS languages of the world came 10 be Indeed, the puzzle of the language is the bane and the boon of aHtiquarians
 A bane, because scientific re search into the history of mankind often has been stopped when d bit of pottery or stone work bore char acters whose meaning could not be translated into any modern lan- guage.
 A boon. because the hieroglyph- ics Of cuneiform writings Of some newly discovered. forgotten tribe have shown to scientists the period in which that tribe had its being.
 A new puzzle and what may de- velop as its solution has been pre- sented to science through the dis covery of the remains of the lost Hittites in central Turkey oy the Oriental institute of the University of Chicago.
 There, in a mound .,0o0 feet ln diameter and 300 feet high, an in atitute expedition. directed in the field by Dr. Erich Schmidt and H. H. Non der Osten, found the mortal remains of the Hittites.
 Carefully digging into the mound, the scientists found remarkably preserved pottery. There were vases and articles of agriculture and warfare such as have been pie tured on tolnbs of later races, now also vanished.
 On some Of the pottery has been found contemporaneous history written in cuneiform. And that the epigraphers with the expedition were able to translate. They know that cuneiform had its inception 35 centuries before Christ.
 But they also found other writ ings. They were in hieroglyphics And the Hittite hieroglyphics, old CT than the cuneiform, never have been translated.
 Perhaps these hieroglyphics writ ings tell of the beginnings of the Hittite race.
 Somewhere in Alishar Huyuk, says Prof. James Henry Breasted director of the institute, i've hope to find an inscription in both cunei- form and hieroglyphic. Knowing the first, We shall be able to reac the latter
 With that treasure as a goal, 2 tiny knot of men labors under the broiling Turkish sun, bravinS fevel and jaundice and thirst.
 For history, they believe, is time less, and man must know iron where he came that he may built high upon the ruins of the past.
