Business Laws Traced
Back to 1000 B. c. Era

CHICAGO.-The origin of business
administration has been traced
back 1000 years, according to Waldo
H. Dubberstein, research associate
in the Oriental institute at the Uni
versity of Chicago.
Dubberstein cited a six-foot pillar,
bearing the administrative code of
King Hammurabi of Babylonia, writ
ten shortly after 1000 B. c., as evil
dence that business followed a def
mite pattern then. He said the orig
inal pillar is now somewhere in
France"
''Hammurabi's code included,
among other things, fixed commod-
ity prices, a minimum wage law
providing higher wages for sea-
sonal workers and a maximum in
terest rate of 20 per cent" Dub
berstein said.
From 5000 B. C. until approximate
ly the time of Hammurabi's code,
Dubberstein added, real property
was owned almost exclusively by
the State and the church, and there
was little evidence of private enter
prise.
However, by Hammurabi's time
Dubberstein said, Babylonians had
come to own land and houses and
goods, and it became necessary for
someone to codify whatever busi-
ness laws were in unwritten effect.

Skipper Tells How Nazis
Bombed Ship With buds

AN EAST COAST CANADIAN
PORT.-How his ship was bombed
by German airplanes, but escaped
damage when the explosives proved
to be duds, was told here by an At
lantic skipper.
Lucky? Maybe it was" the skip
per observed. Somehow, I can't
help thinking that those dud bombs
indicate something more than that.
Could 1t be that our friends in Nazi-
occupied territories are doing their
part? Two phony bombs at one time
is more than passing strange"
Three times bombers dived at the
ship, he said, while the ships crew
blazed away with a rapid-fring cam
non.
Nine bombs fell. Two struck the
ship. One dented the steel deck to
a depth of almost two feet-then it
bounced into the sea. The captain
showed a fin from a 500-pounder to
back up his story.

BritOns Sheltered
In Ancient Caues
Many He,vn by Natives
Hiding From Romans.

LONDON.-Many Britishers today
make their homes in 2.000-year-old
caves near London-complete with
barber shop, movie house, cigar
store, grocer and matchmaker.
And, In the opinion of James
Gardner, part-owner Of the caves,
he would have the greatest difficulty
in persuading many of the resi-
dents" to leave If peace were de-
clared tomorrow.
Many of the caves were hewn by
ancient Britons hiding from Roman
invaders. In later years others were
made by the Druids.
Gardner says his residents" are
happy because they are as one huge
happy family, on the friendliest
terms.
Rigid rules are observed. All
young people must be in by p. m.
There is no readmission after p.
m. There must be reasonable quiet
by 10 p. m, and absolute silence
by 10:3O p. m.
The caves are empty in the day
time. By dusk they begin to get
well-filled, and by CLOSING hour"
usually are filed to capacity.
Occupants come from every sta
ton in life. There are gypsies,
blacksmiths, laborers, artisans and
even professional men. Many ar
rive each night in their own auto
mobiles, others arrive in trucks,
with their families.
Miles of underground tunnels,
some so low that walkers have to
bend almost double, lead off into
hundreds of caves, of varying sizes.
The walls are lined with beds of
every shape and size, ranging from
family four-posters, big iron bed
steads, to camp beds and steamer
chairs. Many of the beds are prop
erly made up with white sheets,
blankets, and even eiderdowns.

'Snowmobile' Developed
By United States Army

WASHINGTON.-The army has
developed a new-type "snowmobile"
capable of dragging a field gun 70
miles an hour over waist high snow,
the war department revealed.
This was disclosed with showing
of motion pictures of the training
of ski troops at Lake Placid, N. Y.
Officials said some 1,500 men have
now been given an intensive week
of training in the use of skis and
handling of weapons in snow.
The new "snowmobile" used by
these troops has caterpiller type
wheels and drags a heavy field
piece mounted on sled. Machine
guns and smaller weapons are car
ried by the skiing soldiers.
Learning the use of skis in for
nations has not been without hard
ships, it was disclosed. On one trip
two men suffered broken legs and
had to be brought to camp by dog
sleds.
In another freak accident, a small
dog got in front of a line of soldiers
on skis.

Too Young for Car,
Youth Gums Plane
High School Student Wins
Juniors License.

MEDINA, N. Y.-Not old enough
to own an automobile, but he owns
his own airplane-that's John Bar
Der Jr., a 17-year-old Medina high
school student.
Young Barber, an aviation enthu-
siast ever since he began construct
ing airplane models as a sixth-grade
student, always had dreamed Of the
day when he could have an airplane
of his own. His seventeenth BIRTH
day marked the realization of that
dream, when he landed his own Pi-
per Cub training plane at the Albion
airport near here after a flight from
Buffalo.
The young pilot purchased the
plane, as birthday gift for HIM
self, from money left in trust for
him by an uncle. Although the es-
tate was not to be turned over to
Barber until he was 81, Orleans
County Judge William H. Munson
made it possible for the youth to
buy the plane.
John learned to fly last year dur
ing his summer vacation. Working
seven days a week as mechanics
helper at the Syracuse airport, he
earned enough money to pay for fly
ing lessons.
After only eight hours of dual in
struction he was allowed to solo
and came through with flying colors.
He received his juniors license last
summer.
Asked what was the most inpor-
tant thing for young pilot to keep
in mind, Barber said, mo stunt
ingl-The pilot who tries to show
off by stunting is taking too great
a risk. This brings trouble, not only
to the pilot. but to his family and
to the cause of aviation"
The 17-year-old high school sopho-
more is marking time until gradua-
tion when he will enroll in the two
year course at Parks Air college.

Air Gun Tested Firing
10000 Shots a Minute

LOS ANGELES.-A compressed
air gun which the inventors say will
shoot 10000 times a minute-and
possibly much faster-was demon
strated with half-inch ball bearings
as bullets.
At 100 feet. the missiles pierced
airplane armor plate and cut a
three-inch oak plank in two.
The gun emitted only gentle
kissing noise. the steel balls shot
out SO quickly they struck brilliant
sparks from each other at the tar
gets.
The gun muzzle was colder after
the firing than before. Instrument
dials indicated the air pressure was
$50 pounds square inch. The in
ventors said 1000 pounds pressure
would be feasible.
The inventors are William B. Hale
and Durand Beam, associated with
Roger J. Adams, Hollywood engi-
neering research technician.
Anyone who can spray plants
with hose could knock down div
ing plane with this gun," Mr.. Hale
said.

Indians Resent Misuse
OF Snake Dance Ritual

PHOENIX, ARIZ.-The Hopi In
dians want it understood that their
famous snake dance is a sacred rit-
ual and is not to be copied by per-
sons off the reservations.
The trouble began when the Hopis
read in newspaper that group
of white men and, as they termed it,
'.mislead Indians" were staging a
''rattlesnake" dance in Pinal coun-
ty in an attempt to attract tourists.
Immediately four Hopi leaders
from the reservation in northern
Arizona were dispatched here to file
a protest.
In the first place, they said, the
real and only dance is held on the
reservation in August.
Secondly, the real dance is never
advertised nor is admission charged
linasmuch as the dance is sacred
ritual and not intended to be mon
ey-making venture.

Buying ofCold
Is Seen Ending
Economist Says Supply for
United States Is
Running Out.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. CAL.
The United States soon will be un-
able to purchase and store any more
of the worlds gold for the reason
there will be no more gold to pur-
chase, according to DR.. Franklin
Ebersole, former economic adviser
to the treasury and professor of
finance at Yale.
DR.. Ebersole told the Stanford
business conference here that there
is only $27, ZOO, ,000,a 900 of monetary
gold in the world. and that more
than $4,000, 100000 of this is held
by the United States government.
He, understood, he said, that it is
the policy of the administration to
purchase another 100000 900,
leaving only S5, 900. 900 in the rest
of the world.
Ebersole expressed his doubt that
the United States would be able to
purchase more than this additional
two billion for the reason that GER
tain countries like England and
France, who believe in a solid cur
rency, will refuse to let the last of
their gold be drained from them.
Away Ahead of Mines.
1.-THE United States has been pur-
chasing gold faster than it can be
dug from the mines," Ebersole said.
''The gold mines of the world are
expected to produce only $1,000, 0OO,-
600 In gold this year.
California leads the nation in
gold production, having mined
5,593,425 fine ounces in 1899, val
ued at $195, 1859, OOO"
We're the United States to con-
tinue its policy of purchasing and
boarding gold, there would not be
enough left outside the vaults to
support Americas foreign trade.
Ebersole explained that naturally
sal of the gold held by the treasury
does not belong to the United States.
Much of it is the property of the
Federal Reserve bank, of various
foreign governments and individu-
ais.
With the United States and Great
Britain producing large quantities of
gold, Ebersoie does not think that
they will go off the gold standard,
but feels that the great problem
to be solved is to prevent this hoard
ing of gold from running Americas
foreign trade.
Suggests Purchases.
sUnless some substitute for gold
is found as medium of exchange"
Ebersole declared, ''the United
States may have difficulty in COM
peting with an influx of cheap for.
eign goods unloaded here at loss in
order that American dollars thereby
gained may be exchanged at prof
it as they become scarcer in Eu-
rope.
''The United States and its gold
supply are like poker player with
all the chips in the game and no
place to cash in"
Ebersole suggested as a partial
solution that the United States be-
gin buying such strategic mate
rials as tin, rubber, manganese,
chromium, and half dozen others.
He believes that the gold would
prove to be readily acceptable by
poor nations which have strategic
materials for sale.
''In any event, the fork of the
road is in sight," he declared, "and
the United States has to take one
course or the other"

OF the steak if -
you follow the right method of
broiling. That important rule, "a
low temperature for cooking
meat" holds good for broiling as
well as roasting. So the solution to
your problem is to place the steak
far enough from the source of the
heat so that the meat cooks slowly
half way through while the sur
face is nicely Drowned. For steak
one inch thick allow a distance of
two inches; for a thicker steak,
three inches. No spastered oven, so
hard to clean! No smoky kitchen!
And it's easy on the cook, too, for
she doesn't have to stand over the
steak turning it often. When one
side of the steak is done, season it
with salt and pepper, turn it and
brown the second side and the
steak is ready to serve. This
method is also used in broiling
chops and patties.

oven, when you take
it out, or at any time between. In
fact, you needn't salt it at all. You
can be a thorough individualist
about sailing a roast! For steaks
md chops, the rule is that they
should be salted after they are
Drowned. Salt has a tendency to
iraw out the juices of meat, but
IN the case of roast, with it's
mail proportion of exposed sur
face, this doesn't make much diff
terence. AS for the idea that the
salt will cook into" the meat, this
doesn't seem so important because
salt penetrates only a short dis
:ance into the meat anyway.
Most cooks find that seasoning
roast before it is put into the oven
= the most convenient way.

spite the heavy purchases by the
government, both for relief and for

most of the season.
The l94l peach season has en-

is that this state ranks below South
