BIZ election over Harry n. Wurzbach in the l4th cs-

majority was 1886. A count Of votes was ordered by
The house committee on elections. Sixteen San An

This was enough for McCloskey. He threw up the
political sponge. He invited Wurzbach to take his
heat. Now Wurzbach IS the only republican congress-
man from Texas. He will demand a voice in the dis

winner usually has a loud voice.

Diavolo was one of eight yearlings that the

What lucky purchase that was. Out Of the
eight no less than five turned out to be stake
winners. Among them were Dice, Diavolo, Dis

year-old form Dice looked like the best horse

though with several important notifications.
"Japhethtes' therefore, these earliest of civil
lied men are.
The DOMAIN of these JaphethiteS, so far as
it has been studied in detail up to the present,
stretched along the hill country from Eastern
Asia Minor down to the Persian Gulf. The
extensions beyond still insuffciently known.
OF the kingdom of E7am, at least you can
be sure. It lay near the head of the Persian
Gulf. with Susa its capital and the metropolis
of the Aeneothic world, nesting at the foot of
the Zagros Mountains. DiggingS in Susa have
brought up some of the most beautiful pottery
ever made in all the worlds history. Susa
must have been the pottery center of ancient
Asia.
Singuarly enough, the pottery found in the
lowermoSt of the two oldest strata in SuSa
(called Susa I for convenience is of notably
better texture and more artistic than the pot
terry from Susa II, Immediately above it. This
is significant for it proves that the oldest Susa
already a highly civilized city; its culture
was far enough along in years so that decadence
could set in. The beginning of the cycle of
civilization thus indicated has not yet been
found. Susa is probably the oldest city in
the world that any one today knows anything
about, but there may be an older CITY, some
where else. still waiting for the Psychologists
spade.
From Elan, bearing the culture stamped with
the mark of SuSa, went the first settlers in the
lower Mesopotamian Valley. At least they were
the first any one knows anything about today.
For in recent diggings at Ur, the oldest of the
Euphratian cities the excavators went right
on through the thick layer of sterile mud that
impressively recorded the reality of an extern
sive deluge Of about $500 BIC, which may
perhaps be the Flood of the Bible; beneath it
they found abundant relics of human occupa-
ton. Most abundant were the masses of broken
painted pottery all of 1t Of the Susa type.
without question, equally deep excavations at
other city sites in lower Mesopotamia viii un-
cover other Aeneolithic "Cities of the Plain"
that stood before the Deluge. And all of them
are likely to be of Elamite Affiliations.
A FTER the Deluge the region was no longer
Elamitic in character. A new people ap-
pears on the scene, the Sumerians. Where
the Sumerians, the Greeks of the ancient East,
came FROM nobody seems to know.
Farther upstream, the old pre-Flood Japhethic
population was possibly conquered, possibly in
filtered by Semites from the desert and grass
lands to the west, to form the group Of city
kingdoms known Akkad. It's dominating city
eventually came to be Babylon.
The states Of Sumner, Akkad and Elam fought
each other like Kilkenny cats for many long
centuries, back there about 5000 BIC. The
conquerers Dragged about their successes on in
scribed bricks.
That other great people Of the Mesopotamian
region was the Assyrians. also tho recipients Of
