MORE ABOUT GILGAMESH.
y ARTHUR BRISBANE

It is suggested that Colonel Lindbergh will move
from this country to remain abroad, where the kid
mapping industry does not exist.
He would be justified in taking such action
but quitting" is not part of the Lndbergh equip
ment He will prefer to stay and fight it out with
his fellow citizens.
The first part of that fight ought to put in Jail
those that sought to profit by Colonel Lndbergh's
great misfortune, deceving him with lying, criminal
statements.
Tokyo reports a new cabinet planned to suit the
Japanese army following the murder of the seventy
seven-year-old Japanese prime minister by young
army officers.
The civil authorities of Japan dwindIe in impor-
lance to nframicroscopic size when war begins and
must defer to army officers that deal directly with
the mikado The army feels that Japan is in his
hands and no civilian must interfere.
On the other hand, japanese bonds and the yen
drop exchange markets of the world taking cold
view of patriotism in Japan. They know that ia.
pans army will fight magnifcently, but know also
that it would not be able to finance magnifcently
If the army decides what is to be done and spent
the civilian government may find it difficult to pay
the bills.
The money problems of Japan's civilian govern
ment may be complicated by news that Russia has
called up four army classes, totaling 100000 more
men, for immediate maneuvers
You know those parrot-like birds that lived
peaceably insects until sheep were brought to
Australia then the birds at the insects the sheep

to sleeps kidney fat and killed thousands of sheep
AS with those Australian birds, with crime It
passes from thing to another.

DID, supplying fifty missing lines in the epic of Gill
gamesh, who was to the literature of ancient Baby
Ion what Ulysses was to Greece.
Some of his adventures suggest writings in the
Old Testament especially his escape from great
flood, like the one that threatened Noah.
Among northern peoples the adventures of Beo-
wulf suggest the carter of Gilgamesh but Beowulfs
widest achievements, including his swim Of six days
and nights in the dressed in full armor and his
fights with marine animals, tame compared
with the Gilgamesh career.
Primitive men were children, and all delighted
in fairy stories, even when writing history
We read with suitable disdain that it is necessary
to stop the killing of rhinoceroses Without protec-
ton they would soon become extinct Natives hunt
them for the horns, to which they attribute power
full magic"
We say to ourselves "How silly to kill such gil
gantic animals merely to get magic horns when there
is no magic!"
Then we remember that tens Of thousands Of
beautiful elk have been slaughtered by men that
simply wanted to get their teeth the animal being
left to rot on the ground
Not all the savages are in Africa
George NJ Reynolds of Chicago says business
men without much effort" could cut thousand mill
lion dollars from the governments four thousand
millions annual expenses.
Senator Borah Of Idaho said that he could tell
the government how to cut five hundred millions
from its expenses. Somebody ought to do that.
An Individual known as one of the Norfolk
va) negotiators" who caused Colonel Lindbergh
much trouble and anxiety in an attempt to recover
his child, has confessed that his story concerning

people aboard her. There may be no law to punish
