High State of Culture Indicat-

Probably the last thing any archae-
ologist ever imagined was that .eon -
temporaries of Abrahark] would be
found in India, and yet H. George H.
Frank, member of the Indian histor-
ical records commission writes in "The
Christian Science Monitor" the recent
diggings in the sands of Sind have re-
vealed the secrets of a wonderful civil-
ization hitherto unknown and ahnost
undreamed of, which : undoubtedly
dates baek to th- time when Ur of the
Chaldees was flourishing.
In view of the latest romantic dis-
coveries
isco eries in the home )f Abraham, the
results of the researches at Monen-jo-
Daro, in the Indus Valley, a little less
than 300 miles from Karachi, are of
considerable value, especially as they
probably give a more intimate picture
of the life and civilization of the peo-
ple who lived about 5,000 years ago
than any other archaeological investi-
gations ever made.
By good fortune the workers in In-
dia have happened upon the very
houses in which these ancient people
lived, and as a result of the great
variety of relics unearthed from the
three top layers of the six cities which
have rested for more than two millen-
niums one on top of the other in silent
decay, it is possible to know the ap-
pearance of the -leople, the manner in
which they lived, the food they ate, the
clothes they wore, the games they
played, the extent of their culture, the
tools they used, the writing they had
evolved, the ornaments they put in
their houses, the jewelrythey carried
on their persons, and the animals they
domesticated and hunted. About the
only thing we do not know is how they

London.—The link on the Port
Sudan -Kassala railway between Ge-
daref and Sennar, 144 miles in length,
was formally opened by Sir John
Maffey, the Governor-General of the
Sudan recently. The railway develop-
ment of the Sudan is thus proceeding
apace. From Port Sudan the line runs
to Atbara on the Nile and a junction
at Hama leads a branchsouthward to
Kassala.
This latter length of 186 miles has
been in operation for some months.
At Atbara the line runs north to
Cairo and south to Khartum and Ben-
ner and thence westward to the termi-
nus El Obeid. The great dam at Sen-'
• nar carries the railway line eastward
to link up with the Kassala section at
taedaref.
The railway development of the
Sudan cotton area means much, for
the .heavy rainfall 11 and Per
iod
is flood-
ing
od-
ing made real roadmaking a difficult
task. The dirt track is all right for
bullock carts and possible for motors
in the dry season, but the first rains
turn these into quagmire. Plerty of
good cotton land was useless to sow
as there was no outlet to rail or sea.
The circle of railway which is now
ata operation has altered all this. Cat-
tle, cereals, cotton and guns can now
be produced with the knowledge that
there is an outlet to the markets, and
the inhabitants of this potentially rich
. area will reap the benefit. It also
makes possible what is known as the
Gash Delta cotton scheme. It is esti-
mated altogether that some 20,000
square miles will be opened up for
development.

Ask Your Barber -He knows
ishing corner of Northern India and
sailed (hgwn the mighty Indus, but it is
certain that his people were contem-
poraneous with the Mohen-jo-Dariens
and that fairly intimate relationships
had been established. When the full
story of the present discoveries is told,
and when it is possible to make a
closer sideby-side comparison between
the antiquities of Ur and those of
Sind, it is almost certain that a most
romantic' tale of early culture will be
related.
Peel aps the most spectacular and
most interesting of all the finds are
the pictographic seals—little engraved-
tablets with animals and queer signs
running all over them. Many of the
symbols occur again and again in the
thousand or more seals, thus suggest-
ing that the art of writing, even in
pictures, had been well systematized
although in the absence of any large
stones or tablets containing lengthy
inscriptions, it is doubtful whether
these seals will ever give up any other
secrets than the names of their
owners.
The children appeared to have a
pp v
good time, for, in addition to a de-
lightful series of figurines and painted
clay models which would equal any
modernequipment toy a ui mens of a Noah's
ark, there have been found some very
interesting mechanical toys, one being
a horse which moved its head by the
pulling of a string, and another being
a fully equipped chariot with driver
and gabled roof.
Various flint and bronze tools and
implements .have been unearthed with
which many of the household utensils
were made. The knowledge of saws,
chisels, razors and knives reveals -a
high state, -of culture and more or less
explains the liberal discoveries of the
carvings, the polishings and the de-
signs of the different ornaments. The
jewelry, for example, would do credit
to many a modern craftsman. of the
West and if only the necklaces, laces,
heads,
bangles and earrings could be put up
for sale in these times, they would
have as great value for the excellence
of their workmanship and for being
unique. In addition to graceful con,
-
mon pots, there was an amazing var-
There have been unearthed two
large earthenware busts which depict
respectively a man and a womnr: of
this ancient race. The termer is par-
ticu.larl.y lifelike and in striking con-
tradistin.;tion to the other haphazard
and crude inodelings which have been
found. From these busts it would
seem that these people were of a Mon-
golian '' type, with high cheek hones.
They have an old-fashioned type of
ear, almost circular, with a hole in the
centre, and on the whole possess facial
and cranial characteristics which are
somewhat remarkable for a race of
such antiquity.
There is not the slightest doubt that
there are many features common be-
tween tLis newly -found 'culture and
that of Mesopotamia and Babylon,
even as there is just as striking evi-
dence that each was very different
from the other. Then again, there is
the faience seal on which is a row of
four standards .carried aloft by men,
on the top of each of which is a figure
for all the world like the famous
Egyptian totem poles, and this feature
suggests a connection with predynastic
Egypt.
Saves Airplane
By Quick Action
Quick action by an aviation en-
thusiast who has never been off the
ground was responsible for a "happy
landing" at the East Boston Airport.
Army officers at the airport re-
ceived a telephone message from
West Barnstable. Their informant
said be had just seen an airplane fly-
ing overhead with a broken landing
gear. He added that he recognized it
as an army plane • and that it was
headed for Boston.
Airport officials iminediately rolled
a landing wheel and strut into the
centre of the field. to warn the ap-
proaching fliers, and an airplane was
sent up to signal them. As the heavy
Douglas observation plane appeared,
observers saw that one of the struts
was broken, so that one wheel dan-
gled below the other.
The pilot, Lieut. Russell Randall,
was oblivious of the condition of his
landing gear until he received the
warning over the airport, as he had
apparently made a good takeoff at
Mitchel Field, L.I.
He succeeded in making a safe
landing, with comparatively little
damage to the airplane.

In Bit of Verse He Extolls
Benefits of Sunlight
London—The value of sunlight on
the human frame has been proclaim-
ed by Dean Inge of St. Paul's Cath-
edral with the following bit of verse
which he recited at the opening meet-
ing of the Sunlight League:
"Half an inch shorter, half an inch
shorter, -
Same skirts for mother and daughter,
When the winch blows,
Everything shows,
Both what should and what didn't
oughter."
He praised the woman's revolt from
the extensive covering they indulged
in forty or fifty years ago, saying
that the movement of th Sunlight
League was carrying on further the
salutory effects of milady's discard of
heavy clothes.
"However we have to beware of ad-
mitting cranks and freaks," be said.
"There is a certain sect on the Con-
tinent and particularly in Germany
which believes in walking about nude.
In Germany it is ,possible to see bands
of young enthusiasts of both sexes
going about without clothes. There is
nethins; objectionable in that. But
clothes are a matter of convention,
and it 1s necessare to hold at arms'
length certain unwholesome people."

The King
G. K. Chesterton in the Illustrated
London News: lir the things that mat-
ter most at the moment, King George
has most definitely had a policy—a
policy of despising fantastic luxury
and indiscriminate innovation; of
preserving the old social sanity which
used to be counted specially English.
It has been his fate to live at exactly
the moment in history when the ruin
or restoration of this particular nor-
mal and national habit will certainly
be .accomplished. It has probably
made a visit difference that the first
fancily in the nation has been so firm-
ly fixed on that foundation. It has
made it impossible for moderation
and modesty, and common sense in
custom and costume, to die out in the
lower middle classes as things entirely
dowdy and discredited. A mere aris-
tocracy is always ready for the new-
est thing. The aristocracy, whatever
its other virtues and vices, has been
quite ready to go the pace and to set
the pace. Monarchy has taken on
again something of its ancient lead-
ership ,in matters that were once
counted light and trivial, but which
have become in this strange season
and in the eyes of all the wise, very
weighty.
