Persia Yields Two Most
Remarkable Discoveries.

Chicago.-Two chapters In the
epic OF human advance over a span
OF nearly four thousand years from
the remote Stone age to the mag
nifcence of Cyrus the Great have
been dramatically revealed by dis
coveries of the Pension expedition
Of the Oriental institute Of the Uni
versity of Chicago, which have just
been reported TO Director James
Henry Breasted by DR.. Ernst Herr
field, field director OF the expedi-
ton.
At Persepolis, the Versailles of
ancient Persia. the institute eXpedi-
ton has discovered some of the
most magnificent sculptures ever
uncovered by archaeology. Within
two miles of the ruins of the an
cient palaces to which Alexander
the Great in $50 B. c.. set the torch
during a drunken debauch, Doctor
Herzfeld has found a Stone age
village of approximately 1000 b. c.
in q state of preservation surpass-
ing any such discovery heretofore

THE discovery at Persepolls is

Expedition Unearths Stone Age Village

of the great mud-brick walls that
preserved the newly discovered
sculptures, and protected them
from the ravages of weather and
vandalism through the nearly two
thousand FIVE hundred years since
they were created. The carvings
are as fresh as the day when the
sculptors' chisels touched them for
the last time. No other works of
old Persian art have ever been
found in such perfect preservation.
Stone Age Village.
Doctor Hergfeld found the Stone
age village beneath a small mound
some three hundred by six hun
dred feet In area and only ten or
twelve feet in height, within two
miles of the ruins of the great pal
aces.
The walls Of the adobe houses
are preserved in places to n height
of six or seven feet. There is
narrow street or alley extending
the length of the little settlement,
and a modern visitor walking along
IL can look over into the houses.
Through the doors and the earliest
known windows ever found, he can
see mural decorations of red Ochre
water color still discernible on the
walls.
Standing about on the floors are
household utensils of pottery, fire
places with burned clay fire dogs
still In position, and pottery YES
sells still containing the remains of
food, especially the bones of prob.
ably domesticated animals. In some
of the dishes lay the flint knives
with which the ancient people had
last eaten some six thousand years
ago.
"Such remains" Doctor Breast
ed said, disclose to US the earliest
prehistoric ancestry of the civiliza-
ton which reached its elimination

evidences OF the intervening evolu-
ton are plentifully preserved all
around Persepolis."

Those who hardened to the Raw
ings of Mr.. Ferver would often get
up in the Night, many Months
later, to curse him and rue the Day
on which he had kidded them into
it. This never ruffled him. He
was blissful in the knowledge that
he had helped to lay the Founda-
ton of a Home and link two Nor
tails together and act as Advance
Agent for an assortment of Chill
dren.
The mere facts that the Home was
not paid for, that the Couple got
along like a couple of Panthers and
that all of the Outcome were cross

age. Mr.. Ferver believed that it
was better to marry Any One than
remain Single and stand out as a
Blot on Civilization.
Candidates who went to the Cot
fin-Trimmer to get a few Pointers
never received any such Goo. He
said that no Young Man should
marry until he was able to support
Girl in the manner to which she
had been accustomed. and he never
had heard of such Case.
He said that when a Lad of Linn
tied Means fell desperately in love
with some Modern Specimen of the
Expensive Sex, the only sensible
Thing for him to do was to take
his Pinch of Change to the near
est Drug Store and purchase a Dose
Of Arsenic Such a procedure would
save him Thousands of Dollars and
would insure him Peace and Quiet
for Years to come, whereas any
rash Experiments would probably
make Bum of him before he was
80 years old.
1t is said that he DID favor a
Wedding once because he hated all
of the Parents of both Contracting
Parties. The Alliance turned out
to be a great Success, simply prov
ing what Mr.. Grumm had always
contended, that 90 per cent Of the
Race is absolutely unreliable, and
no one has been able to sort out and
segregate and label the 10 per
cent which should be permitted to
live.
1t will be evident that If the
Counsel handed out by Mr.. Grumm
were to prevail and be acted upon
there would be no People left on
Earth by 1885. Such a prospect
would be more than pleasing to
him. but it is not in line with the
Program advised by Statesmen,
Political Economists and Humani-
tarians.
So the Conclusion must be made
that Mr.. Grumm is wrong and,
therefore, Mr.. Ferver must be
right. In spite of which Mr.. Grumm
is much more interesting to talk to.
MORAL: To expect the Good to
be Good Company would be asking
too much.

Addition as Memorial
t
-a. to Harris.

After ordering study into the move
ment for District representation IN
Congress, members Of the Burroughs
Citizens Association voted unanimously
last night on resolution calling Tor
the restoration of the cupola to the new
Taft Junior High School building as
a tribute to the memory OF Albert l..
Harris. District municipal architect.
Mr.. Harris, who held the office OF
District architect for IL years and who
designed the projected Municipal
Center, died here one week ago.
Designed by Harris.

that the Taft School building was one
of the last designs made by Mr.. Harris;
The cupola was included In the original
plans. in keeping with the designs OF
other schools in the District created by
this city official.
In debating the resolution last night
members attributed the cupolas re-
moval to the recent custom OF certain
committees" in Congress to enter into
gentlemen's agreements with District
officials and to impose restrictions
which handicap the administrative
ceicers of the District in the perform
ence OF their duty.
Finch Heads Committee.
The special committee to study con-
gressional representation for the District
will be headed by Wilbur Finch,
Washington attorney. Mr.. F1nch's
group is expected to go into all phases
Of the movement for suffrage here and
report to the association as early as
possible. The association did not go
on record last night for or against
representation in the District.
Another resolution seeking to rid the
city of the starting nuisance by humane
methods was adopted. The association
also urged that another police radio
car be assigned to the northeast section
for patrol duty and went on record
requesting the District Commissioners
to order the Fire Department to assign
one of its officials to pay call to eacn
school at least once q year to instruct
students as to what to do in case OF
fire.

HERE HELD PROVED
ChiIdren'S tuberculosis Clinic
Finds Nearly Fourth of
Diagnoses Positive.

The Children's tuberculosis Clinic,
which is conducted at 301 G street
northwest, by the Health Department
in cooperation with the District of
Columbia tuberculosis Association, yes
terday reported that 812 children had
been examined from May to October
26. OF this total number examined, 22.6
per cent were diagnosed as suffering
from childhood tuberculosis, and a num-
Der were found to have pulmonary tu-
berculosis.
"These facts make unquestionable the
need OF opening the sanitorium for tu-
berculous children at the earliest pos
sible moment" said Mrs Ernest r.
Grant, speaking for the tuberculosis
Association. Reports made by the
nurses at the Children's Clinic show
clearly that in practically every in
stance the child suffering from tuber-
culosis infection comes from a home
where there is an active case of this
communicable disease.
"Out Of great mass of reports made
by the nurses regarding the seriousness
OF conditions in these homes from which
the tuberculous children come, should
like to present briefly an example which
is not an exception to the rule:
"A father, mother and eight children

house. The mother was suffering from
/ active tuberculosis. The father, having
had the disease, was an arrested case.
The nurse persuaded the parents to send
! the children to the clinic, where five of
! the eight were diagnosed as suffering
from tuberculosis infection, The home
conditions were SO serious that the
emergency relief was called in to pro-
vide more adequate food and milk
And so the story goes on and on.
Over 1000 children in Washington have
been diagnosed as suffering from tuber-
culosis infection. In practically every
case the disease can be traced back to
an advanced pulmonary patient living
in the home. The Nations Capitol City
not only needs the children's sanitorium
to be opened at the earliest possible
moment, but there is also great need of
an adequate adult hospital for tuber-
culosis patients.
This health work is carried on by
the tuberculosis Association with the
funds raised from the annual sale of
Christmas seals"
