grounds. The men started in pur.
suit, but could not reach the
animal before it had reached a
tree and climbed to its top.
Carper then climbed the tree
and shook the branches. The
'poSsum came hurtling down.

the headquarters car and taken
to the District Building.
No charges have been placed

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.,~~Jan. !.
Houses almost as old as the flood
city of Ur Of the ,Chaldees. dat
ing back to the early part Of the
fourth millennium before Christ,
have been uncovered by the joint
expedition Of the University of
Pennsylvania Museum and the
British Museum. now engaged in
excavating the remnants Of that
civilization in Mesopotamia.
The houses, described by C.
Leonard Woolley, director of the
expedition, in q report made rub
lie today, as the "monur1er Of
an era new to MeSopotanlian
archaeology" had walls built Of
small mud bricks laid herring
bone fashion, and within their
ruins were found clay vases Of
new types and in wares foreign
both to the early graves discov-
cred at Or and to the rubbish
heaps in which these graves were
found.
THE site is peculiar" Mr.. Wool
ley wrote. ON the cemetery area
the first remains that come to
light are those of the Temenos
wall built by NebuchadnezZar in
about 600 B. c.; in most places
where we have excavated the up
per levels are as late or almost as
late as the sixth century.
I'm 1925-'26, however, when our
work brought us to the lower
slopes Of a hollow worn by wind
and rain at the southeast end Of
the TemenoS, and we found there,
flush with the surface, walls built
not with bricks but with shapeleSs
Jumps Of crude clay, I felt justified
in describing these as terraces Of
prehistoric age. We are digging
in this hollow now, and the con.
cluSion arrived at four years ago
has been amply proved.
"Cut down into and through the
walls and floors Of the highest
stratum We found numerous
drains. These are made of short
sections Of clay piping about a
yard in diameter and set one upon
another in a circular shaft. Each
clay ring is pierced with holes to
allow water to escape into the sur
rounding soil, and in order that
the holes might not be blocked
UP by the earth the space between
the pipes and the sides Of the
shaft was packed with broken pot

the poyerty-Stricken Chinese resi-

show benefits of the comn1unistic

At Fuchin, small city on the
Sungari River, the situation even
became amusing. For weeks the
populace had lived in constant
fear Of an invasion, a fear kept
alive by the sight of an occasional
Soviet military plane, and more
frequently by wild rumors Of war
fare at the frontier, only short
distance away. Finally the blow
came and retreating Chinese
troops carried the news that the
dreaded Russians were coming
up the Sungari. The Russian at

and effective and before many of
