DISCOVERED VAST DEAD CITY Photographs Taken by Airman Over Mesopotamia Reveal SIU of One Vast Metropolis. Lieut Col. J. A Beazeley gives In Geographical Journal (London) an In teresting example of how photography from an airship can extend our knowl edge. When making an aerial recon naissance In Mesopotamia over terri tory occupied by th Turks he took a series of photographs near Samarra which shows distinctly the ruins of an ancient city extending 20 miles along the Tigris river and two miles and a half wide. large enough to shelter easily 4.000.0(10 Inhabitants. This city would never have been noticed on earth, since It Is not marked tiy inytnmg tut scattered liHlnol;. al though potior? mill imvl.i's timl bvo discovered on the site. But the photo graphs show cleHrly Its whole plan, with Its fortifications, canals for lr rtpnlon. and streets. The fall of the airplane within the enemy lines and the capture of Its passengers did not permit Colonel Beaieley to pursue his researches, but since the British occupied the territory an archeologlcal expedition, guided hy the photograph, has begun to explore the dead city. AGAINST WAGES FOR WIVES Gathering of Women R'dlcul the Idea, Labeling It as "Commercial! Ing th Homo." Wages for wives were turned down by an audience largely of women here the other night after a debate on whether husbands should be required to pay such wages, says the Philadel phia Evening Bulletin. One speaker drew a dismal picture of the future of romance with wives working for wages. "Imagine a scene like this," ha said: "Honey, do you love mel "Of course I love you." "Then will you marry met "Well, maybe. How much do you pay?" "Suppose" the wives were to Join the soviet of walters-np and charge triple wages for waiting up nights for husbands," be said. "Imagine a wife going Into society and being labeled a $15-a-week wife. A woman can take a last-year hat and make It look like new. But when she signed a contract for $15 a week there would be no hiding it from the neigh bors." Another speaker pleaded that "wom an shall not be brought down from her pedestal as a queen and made a mere employee of man." In depleting the future of romance under the wage sys tem he said the marriage ceremony would have to be revised to read: "With this ring I hire thee, and will pay thee $15 a week by the aid of the world, the flesh and the devil." Notices like the following he pre dicted would be published: "Married John Brown and Mary Smith, by Rev. Russell H. Conwell. They will live In Logan and the wife's wages will be $15 a week." Scenes like the following In court were forecast: "Judge, he hired me for $20 a week and he Is now two weeks overdue In my pay. I'm going to get a new boss." giiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'j VETERANS ARE NOT ENVIOUS Soldiers Who Took Part in the Civil War Proud of the Youngsters of Today. Recently one of the current maga zines contained a picture called. "Hli Place Usurped." It showed the usual village crowd of youngsters listening to a returned soldier tell stories of his life "over there." Sitting at one side of the picture, entirely deserted by every one, was a Civil war veteran. His face was full of sorrow over his desertion by bis usual audience. "We wondered whether that was really the way people were doing for getting the old soldiers also whether the old soldiers were feeling as this old man In the picture seemed to feel said an Indiana man. "So we took the picture and showed It to an old man who Is s very familiar figure In our streets on account of his faded army uniform.

Conquered Desert Sand. The British adopted a giant "snow shoe" to conquer the sands of the Egyptian desert, according to Ma, John Bain of the British army, who served In the' near East. The scheme. which was based on the same theory that caused the Indian to adopt the snow-shoe, was discovered while the army was marching to Palestine. The fine sands Impeded both the Infantry and horses, so that a day's march never resulted In much more than a two or three mile advance. "Finally some Inventive genius tried laying rather close-meshed chicken wire on the sands," said Major Bain. "The Tommies were thus given some thing that didn't yield so readily as the soft sands, and the horses got a better footing. Immedlntely we found that much greater progress was ma'le, and onr advances soon amounted to nine and ten miles a day." I Wfc!rsm. 0i"ll.
