Great Laboratory to Study
the Origin of Civilization
No1o Rising at Chicago
University.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

TINE first laboratory in the world
Il for the study of the origin and
development Of civilization now is
going up on the campus of the
University of Chicago.
The laboratory, which will house
the Oriental institute, will be un-
der direction of DR.. James H.
Breasted, head of the institute. 1t
will serve as headquarters for work
Of the organization.
At present the institute has seven
expeditions scattered over a front of
1000 miles in the Near East, seeking
evidence of the beginning of civili-
cation.
DR.. Breasted is one of the worlds
greatest authorities on ancient
history.
Funds for the new laboratory,
amounting to $1,500,0O0, hyae beer
provided by the international educa-
ton board, a Rockefeller philan-
thropy. The board also has endowed
literally the scientific projects of
the Oriental institute.
Among the interesting facts
turned up SO far is that of the Sa-

No Insult Needed

Congress next winter probably will hear more from

criminatory restriction of Mexican immigration.
But government figures will come up to confound
those who affront Mexico with demands that she be
singled out from all countries of this hemisphere and
told that United States will not accept her nationals
also
The bureau of immigration just has compiled sta
tistcs to show that Mexico sent only 1908 persons
to this country during the fiscal year of $780, This
compares with 4o154 for the previous year. The state
department had shown that for the first six months
Of 1880 only 1874 Mexicans mmigrated to this coun-
try compared with a previous annual rate of 56,747
for the last five fiscal years.
What more will these restrictonists need to prove
to them the unwisdom of trying to discriminate
against friendly nation?
These figures very obviously illustrate what the
state department long has been claiming that strict
enforcement of the existing laws will solve the Mex-
can immigration question without any additional and
harmful legislation.
With one of the leading restrictioniss Representa-
tive John c. Box of Texas returning to congress as
a lame duck it is to be hoped that the house will
not be stampeded into doing in December what it
refused to do in June.
The state departments figures and those OF the
bureau of immigration should prove sufficient to keep
the administration firm in its refusal to allow an
unnecessary slap at our Mexican neighborS and
friends.

Clothing of Blood Important to Life

but there is far more unknown than
known. 1t knows a great deal about
the CLOTHING of blood, but it needs
to know much more. Tests have
been devised which indicate that
blod clots in from one to three min
utes after bleeding commences.
The clothing can be FASTENED by
squeezing the bleeding spot, by press
ing on the blood vessel from which
the blood comes, by applying very
hot applications, by applying sub
stances which break down the cells,
by rubbing, and by other manipula-
lions with which almost every one
is familiar
If there is deficiency of calcium
in the blood this will delay the
clothing. However, calcium itself
is associated with many other con-
ditions of health and of these much
more will be said later

ERNEST SETON'S BIRTH
Aug. ii
ON Aug. IL, 1860, Ernest Thomp-
~ son Seton, famous American
artist, author and lecturer, and
one of the originators of the Boy
Scout movement in America, was
born at South Shields, England.
Following his education at
Toronto Collegiate Institute>and at
the Royal Academy in London,
Seton served as naturalist to the
government at Manitoba.
He soon became prominent
through clever stories about ami
mails, although such veteran natu-
ralists as John Burroughs and ex-
uerienced woodsmen criticised him
for ascribing to animals mental and
moral characteristics not evinced in
real life.
AS one Of the founder Of the
Boy Scout movement III America,
Seton later started the outdoor life
organization known as the Wood
craft League In 1904 the organi-
zation was introduced into Eng
land with the aid OF General
Baden Powell.
Among his writings, largely IL
Illustrated b. himself, are: wild

Oil Gets Credit

JACKSON and O'Brine deserve

the engine deserve more, and back
of it all is oil. oil that was looked
upon as Gods great gift to man
when first introduced, because it
promised cheaper and better light
than could be had with candles.
The reign of oil in the field of
Illumination was short-lived. Twenty
years after the first we'll came in,
the arc light appeared, to be fol-
lowed soon afterward by the in
candescent lamp.
But oil Succumbed to the dynamo
only to achieve greater triumphs
through a greater revolution.
When Rockefeller began to build
his fortune by peddling kerosene,
the horseless carriage was looked
upon as an impossibility, and the
flying machine as just one more
bad dream. Now the whole world
is scrambling for the stuff he found
it hard to sell.
Not only are some of the greatest
corporations on earth struggling for
its control, but governments are in
triguing to gain possession of the
territory where it can be found.

the only group in the world to have
an integrated program of research

older civilizations of the Near East.

izations have sent out special ex-
petitions, but that no organization
has embarked upon a program OF
the magnitude Of the Institutes pro-
gram.
Our program does not spring
from mere ambition" he hastens to
add. at is necessary because the
story of each civilization interlocks
with the other and all contribute to

The laboratory now under con-
struction is a rectangular building
around a court which may be used
for outdoor exhibits.
The first floor will be exclusively
devoted to museum space, except for
completely equipped lecture hall
placed on the west side which does
not interrupt the museum.
On this floor will be continuous
exhibits of materials gathered by
the expeditions, separate rooms be-
ing devoted to each of the great
civilizations Of the Near East.
A strong room will be built for
such priceless trophies as the silver
bronzes and the gold bar Of Menes,
the oldest inscribed piece of royal
jewelry in the world.

DOUBTLESS you have read
IL about the Kurdish rumpus
near Mount Ararat, about the mob
ilization of Turkish forces to crush
it, Persia's refusal to let them cross
the frontier to complete an encircl-
ing movement, and the consequent
strained relations between the two
countries.

story of chief who swore to avenge
the death of his father who was
executed by the Turks five years
ago, the Kurds' desire to form an
independent republic, the recurrence
of bandit complex which goes back
to ancient history for its origin.
Bunk! There is nothing at stake
but an oil field, with some smart

Kurds as a smoke screen. stirring

real war to create a situation that
might give their government an ex-

These plates are seen only with

The platelets certainly are con-
cerned with the ability of the blood
