The old calendar-rakers disagreed j considerably on the year, hut they] unanimously fixed April 29 as the | day the great voyaße offically end-' ed. They also agreed that Noah enter- ] ed the Ark and gave sailing orders ] on March 17. after seeing his fa niily and the animals safely bestow j ed. A modern English antiquarian, ! Harold Peake, all hough not so cer-, tain as the calendar-makers about exact dates, believes the flood occurred between 4260 and 4200 B. C. In a book just published called “The Flood," Peake says that people from the Persian side of the Persian Grit moved into Mesopotamia and occupied Ur of the Chaldees about 5000 B. ('. Then another group of people, coming in from North Syria settled in parts of Mesopotamia including Kish. ii was the relics of these people, dug up at Ur and Kish last year by the Unievrsity of Pennsylvania expedition. that enabled the approximate date of the flood to be fixed. The flood, Peake says, tool; place in tilt- flat country of the Tigris and Euphrates !t wiped out the two groups of people who had settled there, but a lliird group, the Sumerians, who had built their towns on raised mounds, escaped the deluge. The headman of the low-lying viF lage of Shuruppak and bis family, warned by a friendly Sumerian, built a boat and escaped the flood, which drowned all the rest of their neople. in after times people said this man’s name was Xisuthros, which was Greek; others that it was Uta-Haphistlm, which was Mesopotamian, and others that it was Noah presumably Hebrew. And he, according to Jeake, was the man who built the Ark. Dick Engle ami Vaughn Snedeker visited with friends at Berne Monday evening.

DEBS IN FURRY OVER STYLE IN ROYAL COURTS Decided Changes Await Final Decision of Queen London, Apr. 36—(UP)—There is consternation an;: anxsety among sojele'y debutantes here feverishly aJ waiting the five royal courts next mouth and in July. They have learned that fashions for court gowns are lo be very different this season. The authority for their knowledge is E. H. Symonds. managing director of Revilies one of ;he leading court costumier:* in iyondou. Gowns, this year, lie says, will rely on beauty ot material and grace of lino for distinction. The long-, skirted princesse gown will make an ideal court dress, he added. The Queen is having materials laud designs submitted to her at Windsor castle, where the court is' j now in residence, before making i ! her choice. Here is an example of a Revilloi gown that probably will be wor.' at one of the courts on May 14. 15,| 27 or 28, or at the one early in July I a date for which has not yet been fixed. It gives an idea of the change! | in tashion. It is of white satin cut on class-' ! ical lines, fitting closely to the figure, which delicate diamante tracery at each side defining the princesse line. It has a train of white satin lined with poinsettia scarlet georget'e. A Grecian knot in diamante and pearls embroiders one corner of I lie square train, and from one shoulder falls a long tassel of diamante pearls a ad. crystal. Another gown rlfeiale eglantine pink net. which haWaken 25 yards of material, has a foliage design in narrow pink satin ribbon as patterning. The tj-ain is of silver lame, lined with pink net. A debutante's fan. in Prince of Wales design, ot small white curled ostrich feathers goes with this gown. Ovidised lace as a train, lined with orchid mauve georgette, is a decorative foil to another creation of pale orchid mauve satin heaute. The fan to he carried in this case is of shaded uncurled ostrich plumes from deep to palest orchid mauve. The length of the fan Is 34 inches. The arrangement ot the regulation Prince of Wales court fea'hers is often a matter on which debutantes and dowagers take the ideas of t the hairdresser Instead of the court dre *smaker. according to Symomis Tlie hairdresser is naturally inclined to use the feathers to decorative advantage, he added, but regulations decree that they must stand upright, emblematical of the Prince of Wales' treat. Scores of women ill their court

| dresses find on arlval at Buckingham palace that their headdresses j have to be rearranged In accordance not with artistic effect, but with | the itiles of the Lord Chamberlain's j officials. Eve: yotle who is appearing in the j throne room has to he seen offij dally, beforehand, in tile ante-room | so that every detail of dress in the j case of men and women about to I enter the royal presence is in accordance with the regulations. Altera'ions very often have to bo made al the last moment Another court costumier Is making a future of frocks for debutante and dowager which show a matching Idea. * A debutante's frock, for example of pale primrose tulle, will accord wi ll her chaperone's train of print rose velvet.

Here's an example I of what he does with the money he saves:: Newquist was host ;o r.O hungry children and 4 heir parents who were hungry also. He furnished the food, the place to eat it.and then rounded up his guests. He knows where to find the hungry folks for when he is not working al his jot) as foreman for a construction firm he is out looking for them. Every day is Christmas to Gust, his friends will tell you, ami will add that his philanthropies bear it . out. He doesn't usually attempt to entertain on such a large scale bn' 5 to 50 guests are all the same to him. "Lots of families in town are hungry and I just thought I'd give the kids a dinner," smiled Newquist modestly when he was asked to explain his generosity. “I guess thev liked it, "he added as lie fought to keep his balance while several laughing children yanked his coat tails first in one direction and then ( in another as the party's fun Increased. “Yes sir, I’m having a good time” and Newquist grinned good natured--1? .— o New Marriage Dot Halifax, England — (UP)- -Since a Halifax man asked the mayor to put him in touch with a woman who would find him work and marry him, unemployed men from several cities have offered to marry any woman for the sake of peimanent employment.

FARM GIRLS OF TODAY ARE GOOD HOUSEKEEPERS Government Export Finds Women Improving * Living Standard Bv Cecil Owen (United Pros Staff Correspondent) Washington, Apill 30 — (UP) — Girls on the more liian 6,000,000 ’arm homes of the United Slates ire showing n keen Interest In the irl i of home making add In many nstanres are lolling their mothers how to obtain the best results from meagre incomes, according to Miss | Mary Hokahr, home management cpcdaltst of the agriculture department. Returning from a trip which carried her through most of the (■astern and central states where she talked with hundreds of farm housewives and their daughters. Miss, Ilokahr said the modern girl on I he farm probably in many will be better housewife than her' mother. "Everyw here I went I found the I woman on the farm eager to learn how she might improve her homo and obtain a heller l, ode of living on tlie slight means at her disposal. Most of the girls, however, were! better informed than their mothers tnd many showed marked talent ln| restoring furni ure, making clothes cooking and the manifold tasks of ■ i housewife". One of the first questions asked by most housewives she met. Miss Rokahr said, was what labor sa>ng equipment she ought to purchase. Proper methods of buying What the farm home needs was second in questions asked. Then the' farm wife wan ed to know how she : most efficiently might divide the' house work among the family. "1 do not wish to make odious' comparisons," Miss Rokahr added, but it is my impression that the iverage farm housewife lias suc•eeded better than most city mothers In creating (he true spirit of a home. It is on the farm, especially in the west, that we still find the pioneer spirit." The average amount of cash received by the farmer for his saleable products is 8600 annually. Miss Rokahr said, while the average farm housewife desired at least $1,200 to properly maintain her home. This would lie the equivalent of about SI,BOO in the city if allowance i 3 made for the many farm products used by the family which must he bought in town. 1 In the year since Miss Rokahr 1 assumed her duties as an exiierl adviser to the farm housewives of (he nation. 12 pamphlets have been published outlining model budgets for different states.
