Taught Weed Cultivation

Weeds are encouraged to grow in
a garden which is beautifully kept
at an elementary school near Bel
fast, Ireland. Under the guidance of
the ministry of education, % teach
ers are being taught how to teach
horticulture to the pupils in the rural
area. Every sort of weed is grown
In orderly fashion. There are neat
little rows of regular garden pests
which drive the amateur gardener to
despair. They are fostered and tend
ed as if they were orchids. By care
full examination of the specimens, the
students get to know lot about
weeds, and there will be a great
slaughter when they return to their
own school gardens.

WORLDS OLDEST
GIRL is DUG UP
Speculations Over Skull Of
Days Before Noah.

Her eyes were soft and black and
her teeth flashed in the sun. Her
mouth was red and full and when
she passed On her way to the mar
ket place, the old men of Alisar
frowned and the young men Of
Alisar sighed, for these were human
people, though they died 1000 years
before the flood.
Probably she married and bore
children. Certainly she laughed and
was happy, knew pain and the fear
of death, before she died. Her world
is gone now, buried under the waters
where a man named Noah sailed a
ship. Her name Is known to no one
and there is none who cares, except
for scientists who dig and burrow
and measure, striving to possess the
secrets of 5000 years, John w.
Vance writes, in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Her fate is mystery. Perhaps she
died in some swift foray of hostile
tribe. Perhaps she walked alone be-
side the village and great beast
was waiting. Perhaps plague came
out of the violent east. In any case
she died and was buried.
Recently DR.. w. NJ. Krogman of
the Brush foundation sat in his
laboratory and talked about the girl.
She is a parsonage now, for she is
one of the Oldest humans whose
skeleral remains have ever been
found, except for recent discoveries
at Ur of the Chaldees.
"Alisar was the capital of the Hit
tite empire, under the name of Rog-
has Keuie," Doctor Krogman said,
"but that was more than 1000 years
after this girl died. She lived in the
New Stone age, more than 1000 B. G.
"Her grave was more than 80 feet
below the surface Of the plain and
there was such great pressure of
earth above it that only the skull
bones have been recovered. There
were more than 100 pieces Of them,
which we have reconstructed and put
together. It took a month.
"She was about thirty. We can
tell her age from the joining of the
skull and from her teeth, which, as
you see, were quite perfect. They
are still white. There was absolutely
no tartar on them.
"Her head is quite long and is
definitely associated with the Medi-
terranean type, the same as the mod
ern Italians, Greeks and Berbers. The
Utilities, who came later, were Of an
other type. This somewhat estab-
ishes the fact that the Mediterranean
type is very old, although one must
be careful in drawing conclusions
from single case.
"We cannot deduce a great deal
from her skull. We believe, from
the teeth, that probably she ate a
great deal of grain food and other
gritty substances. We don't know
anything about her people.

placed at about 1000 B. G. Indi-

Gated the flood. for there were no
building walls, nothing to indicate
life, in that layer.
"Why the site, which is south of
! the Black sea, not great distance
from Ankara. Turkey, was always
occupied, we don't know. Perhaps
because there was water there. Per-
haps it was hill which was easy to
defend from enemies or animals.
