UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When the art Of writing was
young in the land which contained
Babylon, there was a strange GUS
tom. Each city seems to have taken
q special god as it's own. Present.
day people speak of those olden
deities as pagan gods"
Then came battles between the
cities, and it was supposed that the
soldiers were helped by the special
gods OF their cities. 1t was believed
chat the finish of the battle showed
which was greater. The captured
city was forced to bow before the
god Of the conqueror.
We may trace such stories in
plden writings found in the ruins of
Babylon. Take the city of Nippur,
for instance. It's special diety was
Enlil, the storm-god. People often
called Nippur "the Place of Enlil."
A song which was sung in the city
spoke Of Enlil as "the lord of lands"
and "the guide of his people"
Another god in Nippur was Ninib,
and he appears to have held first
place before the city was conquered.
For a long time, the city of Kish
had chief deity named Zamama.
This deity had to give way later to
Shamash, the sun-god.
Among all the gods and goddesses
Of the country, the special god of
Babylon came to be first. He was
known commonly as Marduk, but
sometimes was called Bel or Nero

Servants BIuckmuil

Employers in Bombay and other
cities of India are complaining of
wave of blackmailing by servants,
the cases usually revolving about
disputes over wages. At Ahmedabad
a chauffeur discharged for some
serious fault added new wrinkle.
He went away quietly enough, but
returned a few days later and, with
tears in his eyes, begged for letter
of recommendation The former en-
-ployer yielded to his entreaties, only
to be shocked by suit for wages for
the remaining days of the month
and also an extra months salary in

than Enlil or Shamash. Here is the
meaning of one of the songs:
you are the strong Marduk, the
mighty lord of gods. The other
gods bow before you. You are the
founder of cities and you open
fountains. You look on the homes
Of the wicked and take away their
power. You are above the great Ea,
your father"
Another song had this meaning:
II pay honor to your name, oh
Marduk, the strong one of the gods.
You are all-wise and perfect in
strength. You are high ruler, and
you hold the star filled heavens in
your grasp"
Belief in Marduk as the greatest
of the gods lasted most of the time
for $500 years. Yet in that time
there came a rival, who for time
took first place. The rivals name
was Ashur, and we shall speak OF
him on a later day.

South's opening bid of one no
trump was one of those so-called
brilliant" bids which really served
no purpose. From then on the
bidding developed in fairly normal
fashion until East bid five clubs. At
this point South seemed to think
the opponents could make their con-
tract, and hence went on to de-
fensive contract of five hearts.
East and West did not choose to
double, and were perfectly content to
set him one trick, which gave them
very good score since at most
