Modern Alphabet Linked
To Ancient Copper Mines

Because the Egyptians mined
their copper in the Sinai peninsula
1000 years ago, the poet can put his
immortal sonnetS into "A B C's"
and the schoolboy can learn his let
tiers today, according to Waldo H.
Dubberstein Of the University Of
Chicago.
The secret and controlled Egyp-
tan hieroglyphic system Of writing
was changed to an alphabetic sys-
TEN probably by some local Semitic
wise man" who came into contact
with the Egyptians during their
work on the peninsula, DR.. Dubber-
stein, research associate Of the ORR
entail institute of the university. said
recently in lecture.
Psychologists are now able to
trace the development of the alpha
bet, with fair certainty, to its origin
shortly after 1000 B. c." DR.. Dub
bernstein said.
From its origin in the Sinai pc
ninsula the new system Of writing
which needed only some 80 symbols
instead Of the many hundreds used
in hieroglyphic writing understood
by only a select few, gradually
worked its way up along the coast
of Palestine and Syria.
Eventually it reached the ancient
city Of Ras-Shamra, where the
natives wrote on clay tablets in
Babylonian cuneiform characters.
They were so accustomed to writing
on clay that they maintained that
medium, changing only the sets Of
symbols they had been using.
Both the present-day alphabet and
the ancient hieroglyphic systems
have a common ancestor in picture
writing, he said.
Writing" he said, lis continu-
Gus streamlining process. For ex-
ample, the picture Of man is re-
duced to a picture showing only his
head. By further step it becomes
merely a few strokes which repro
duce the sound Of the word. Sue
ceeding generations formalize the
strokes into a letter-symbol."

James A. NJ. E. church, of Mime
apolis, Minnesota, the pioneer and
Mother Church of the Northwest
ern Conference.
The young Rev. Mr.. Patrick is
twenty-nine years of age and has
resided in St. Paul, Mimi, for
over twenty-eight years. He is a
product of the public school sys-
tenn of that city and a graduate
of Mechanic Arts high school.
While in high school and college,

Arsenic From Tobacco

DR.. Edwin E. Barksdale of Dan
vile, Va. advises persons unusually
sensitive to arsenic not to smoke.
Some persons, he reports, develop
itching and Inflammation of the skin
il they absorb any appreciable
amount of arsenic. After studying
several persons afflicted in this
way, he discovered they got their
arsenic from tobacco, and could rec
ommend no cure except to stop
smoking. The arsenic in tobacco
comes from the arsenate Of lead
with which farmers spray the grow
ing plant to prevent horn worms
from destroying it, DR.. Barksdale
reported. No other insecticide
serves the farmers purpose so well,
he said, because the arsenate Of
lead has the property of adhering
to the tobacco leaf. There is no
known way Of removing the arse
nate Of lead during the curing or
manufacturing processes, he added.
But only the representative and al
lergic suffer.

DR.. Grace Carlson To
Seek Senator Post
On Socialist Ticket

DIR. Grace Carlson, who recently
resigned as vocational counselor
from the state department of ed
ucation, has entered the race for
United States Senator on the
Trotskyist Anti-war Party ticket.
Her friends and supporters are
now collecting the necessary sig
natures to place DR.. Carlson's
name on the ballot.
DIR. Carlson was educated at St.
GATHERINGS college and at the Uni
versity of Minnesota where she
was an instructor in the Depart
ment of Psychology. She is a
charter member of the Minnesota
State Employees Union Local 10,
and a member of the St. Paul
branches of the Urban League and
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People; a
delegate to the St. Paul Trades
and Labor Assembly; and national
executive board member of the
Workers Defense League.
She will campaign on a program
opposing imperialist war, fascism
and totalitarian dictatorship; for
trade union control of military
training, and for trade union wages
in the military forces and trade
union hours and wages on all de-
Tense and public works programs.
She calls for genuine economic
and social equality for women, and
the right of Negroes and youth to
job opportunities. She stands for
a national labor party based upon
and controlled by the trade unions,
and for a Socialist United States
and Socialist world.
Because of legal barriers the
name of the Socialist Workers
Party cannot appear on the bal
lot, and DIR. Carlson is running as
the candidate of the Trotskyist
Anti-war Party. Minneapolis cam
paign headquarters are at 919
Marquette avenue; st. Paul head
quarters at 1873 East 9Th street.

Kodiak Doubles Formulation

While most cities in the United
States of America are shedding bit
ter tears because the recent census
did not show any, or but little In
crease in their population, the little
town of Kodiak, in western Alaska,

Chances are that the summer sun

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-North-

Midwestern teams maintained
their sensational pace in inter-

Northwestern upset the big Buck
eyes, 6-3, before $4,000. roaring
from behind in the fourth quar-
ter on a touchdown by De Core
won't after Charley Mag had put
Ohio State in front with a 28-
yard field goal.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame and
Michigan scored major intersec-
tional triumphs for the Midwest
to offset Illinois 1877 defeat by
Southern California. Notre Dame,
flashing flrst7class offense,
both on land and through the
air, bowled over plucky Georgia
Tech, 1920, in a game witnessed
by $4,000 that really wasn't as
close as the score indicates. At
Cambridge, it was Tommy Har-
mon again when Michigan sank
Harvard, 26-0. Harmon scored
three touchdowns, kicked two
points and tossed a pass to Paul
KRONER for the other Wolverine
score.
