Although only partly uncovered, the cemetery re- vealed 34 gold head-dresses, inlaid pendants, wreaths, and hair ribhons many silver combs and other orna- ments, Three harps of unusual design and a pair of statues of rams, made of gold, siiver, white shell and vators as "two of the most remark- able objects of antiquity that Sum- eria has yet produced," were un- earthed. Describing the rams as having head and legs of gold, horns and long hair over the shoulders of lapis lazuli, fleece over the rest of the body of white shell and bellies of silver, the archaeologists said the animals apparently were supports for furniture Three harps were found in the pit. The front of the sounding box of one was a magnificent head of a bearded bull in gold; another was entirely of silver inlayed with blue and white shell plagues below the silver cow's head, forming the front of the sound box; and the third was shaped like a boat with the high stern to form the back upright.

Miss Knauss traced the spread | of Bolshevism, Communism, Athe- jism and extreme Socialism. which | she classed as one, from its birth |in Russia to China, the United | States and Canada. This world- wide revolution, she said, was | aimed at the destruction of church- es, homes, schools and govern- | ments, and was not receiving the attention it should im Canada. | Seven national defence societies were battling the evil in the United States, she continued, and it need- | ed similar action in the Dominion to curb its rise. Tracts Distributed Mrs. Joseph Howe, secretary of | the Christian Church Crusade, 2 | movement embodying all Christian i churches, supplemented the spec- | ial speaker's remarks with the in- | formation that the Junior Atheist | Society of Toronto (considerably smaller than its parent group) had delivered more than 600,000 tracts of propaganada during 1928, into schools were maintained in the city, she averred, holding sessious six days of every week, and teach- ing to large classes of children "rank atheism." The executive of the Crusade movement, at a meeting Saturday night, passed resolutions in appre- ciation of the sympathetic support being given by Mayor McBride and Chief Draper, and asking them to form a small committee to affili- ate wtih the Christian Church Crusade. | Tokio.

Crests are more widely used in Japan than in foreign countries. According to the existing tradition every family must have one crest. The custom was originally initiated by court nobles and warriors to perpetuate distinguished services rendered by their ancestors, Cer- tain families adopted crests im- plying happy augury, as their members remained long in good health, while others adopted grass or trees to indicate large Jang boldings or a love of nature. The chrysantheum of the Imper- ial crest has sixteen petals, An auxiliary crest of the Imperial family has a paulownia flower, but the chrysantheum and cherry blossoms are the national flowers of Japan, the cherry blossom being t be warriors' short-lived flower No. 3, CW, 784c; No. 4) -- -- LAMPREY EELS ARE ~ MENACE TO FISH Profeessor Finds They Prey on Other Fish--Use Stones to Build Nest Ithaca, N.Y. Jan, 23,--A men- ace to the fish food supply of in- land lakes by the lake lamprey, a type of cel, has been established through 60 years of observation hy Prof, Simon Henry Gage, emeritus professor of histology and embrys- ology at Cornell University, For one to three years of their lives, he finds, the lampreys prey on other fish, especially bullheads, trout, suckers and carp. The only feasible way to reduce their nuvm- ber is by trapping when they mi- grate up small streams to spawn, All of them dle after spawning, but by trapping them on the way to spawning grounds shely swarms of young may be reduced, Professor Gage found that two other types of lampreys of New York State, the sea and brook lampreys, are beneficial to man as food or hait, One of the most interesting facts TE \ The ARCADE Limited | ART | NEEDLEWORK DEPARTMENT Showing Some Smart Designs in .
