They are hoard of sacred images with* parallel among known Babylonian jworks of art, and were discovered by the Iraq expedition of the Oriental tnatltut?, under the Held directorship of Prof. BenrI Frankfort at Tell Asmar and Khafaje, within 29 miles of Bag dad, Iraq. Renovation of the shrine of the god of Abu, Lord of Fertility, at Tell Asmar, sometime between 8000 and 2800 B. C„ saved a large ntimber of the statues. Because they had been consecrated they could not be thrown away or sold, and so they were buried under the floor of the shrine, to re main until the'Institute expedition un covered them. \ . - - I ■*>' - ir p~ 1; m: I i Mi- •* 1 fc;.. ft' | u mk Kv f B: ; I; ft W' ft Li.., It- K jRJh 4 i Dear Mr. Wynn: While walking along the railroad tiheks I happened to look to one side and there I saw three men sleeping on piles ofcoal, which had beep taken from freight cars the day before.

Tm glad of It,” muttered Danny, which, when you think of it, was rath er funny, for the Big Pickerel had been watching for Danny himself and would have liked nothing better than to have snapped his big jaws on him. But Danny knew so well what It felt like to be hunted that though he was rather glad that the Big Pickerel had been given a fright, he was also glad that be had eaoaped. - Of Billy Mink, Snapper the Turtle and the Big Pickerel he could see aothlng at all ^nd rightly guessed that all were In hiding. Reddy Fox was sitting on the opposite bank, look ing up at Plunger and grinning in the most provoking way. • ‘They’ve forgotten about poor lit tle me," thought Danny and his heart stopped plt-a-patting quite so fast. The thing for me to do is to keep going while the going is good. I’ve got to get across to the other side but I don’t dare swim across the Smiling Pool. The Laughing Brook comes In right here and If I keep on following along the bank perhaps I will find a place where I can cross It without having to swim.

The Indian produced fire by twirling a stick held firmly against a piece of wood. To^ive the stick a*' rapid motion he wrapped a bow-string about it and then drew the bow swiftly to and fro. The white settlers* method was * the str iking together of flint and steel bunch of grass, there a big mullein leaf, yonder a piece of bark, and again a pile of sticks. He never stopped out In tiie open. No Indeed. That would have been the very worst kind of Meadow Mouse folly! Now the water in the Laughing Brook ran swiftly In places, leaped In merry little falls, or seemingly rested in quiet pools, but for a long, long way it offered no crossing-place for a tired little Meadow Mouse who was afraid to swim because of hungry fish who might be watching. Though he rested often, Danny grew more and more tired. All afternoon he traveled and he was getting Just a little discouraged and almost a little hopeless when Just as the Black Shadows came creeping silently through the Green Forest he came to a bridge. It was only an old log which had fallen across the Laugh ing Brook, but for Danny It was a real bridge. He looked thla way, that way and the other way. He listened with both ears. Then he scampered across and gave a tiny sigh of thank fulness. He was on the home side at last. e. T. W. Burgess.—WNU Servlcs. QUESTION BOX By ED WYNN...

Amjc thesv were nearly always put on perfectly sound teeth. -— The mouth Is the most expressive or gan of the human body. What Is more attractive than smiling lips with a per fect set of clean, white teeth? Most people could have beautiful teeth If they would only give them the neces sary time and attention. My lady some- tlmea spends a fortune for a string of pearls and neglects the real, pearls which are In her mouth. Teeth, care fully polished and free from decay, have much of the sheen of the pearl, and should be far preferable. Teeth are the first organ oi digestion. Poorly chewed food places an enor mous strain on the digestive system. Not only does the person lose much of the food value, but serious digestive disorders may' result The average individual do** not real ize the value of either teeth or health until they are lost. Then he makes frantic efforts to regain what la too frequently gone forever, when a little prevention In the beginning would have preserved both. 4 Vanity, alone,' should prevent the very absurdities noted above. Even the loss of a single back tooth will show In a photograph. The teeth form a perfect arch and any single tooth removed from that arch will cause a change in its form. In the same way, should a brick or a stone be allowed to disintegrate In an architectural arch, It will cause the arch to gradual ly collapse. w ■ iJ Porcelain teeth are made nowadays to take the place of teeth “lost” from any cause. The art of “dental cer amics” has reached a stage where the artificial la hard to tell from the nat- oral- Vanity Is unquestionably the cause of this high degree of perfection, but no artificial tooth Is ever as good as the natural.
