CLAY TABLETS 54 CENTURIES OLD AREBARED Valuable Discovery Made by Scientists in Tomb on Site of Ur. Bv Cc* nee Service PHILADELPHIA, March 22.—Clay tablets bearing writing more than 5,400 years old, suggesting the probability of still older tablets yet to be found beneath them, are among the fruits of exploration excavated from a “poor” tomb at Ur, in ancient Mesopotamia. The results have just been announced here by the University of Pennsylvania, which is conducting its expedition jointly with Oxford university The clay tablets, and a quantity of seal-impressed clay jar stoppers found with them, are much older than the tomb at the bottom of which they were found. The excavatic.: had led through a “death pit” of the type customarily encountered in connection with a royal or aristocratic burial of the third millenium B. C., where row on row of courtiers and servants were laid out to wait upon their lord in the after-world. But in this particular “death pit”

the skeletons were much more poorly clad than is usually the case in such burials, having only a few silver ornaments in place of the gold most frequently found. Yet this relatively poor burial chamber proved to be one of the richest finds in Ur, from an archeologist’s point of view. All the graves had been dug into a vast rubbish pit, which sloped down from the walls of the earliest Sumerian

settlement to the marsh or river out of which it rose, and the bottom of this particular “death pit” just touched a stratum of rubbish, necessarily much older than itself. In this rubbish were found the inscribed tablets and jar stoppers. These prove to be among the oldest of written documents, certainly the oldest thus far found at Ur. They date to the same time as certain clay figures found last

year, the cultural level of which could not then be determined. They are not so old as tljp tablets found a short time ago near Kish, bearing an exceedingly archaic form of picture writing, but the fact that they lie at the top of a heap of debris as yet wholly unexplored promises that when the spades go down through it they probably will turn out specimens of writing as old as those of Ur’s rival city.

derella of the girls who have relegated Prince Charmings to second j place in their aspirations, and j whose first aim is a conquest of the business world. As such, her story is related in the current issue of Smart Set magazine. The Cinderella parallel is completely justified, for during her first year in New York Alice Lauber worked as a servant, a nurse maid, while she was learning English, clinging to her S2OO and saving every penny she could squeeze out of her slender wage. At the end of the year she had SBOO, and a glib young real estate salesman, calling at the servants’ entrance, persuaded her to invest it in a lot in distant up-town New York. Fortune smiled. Within two months an investment company which prospected a building to cover the block in which she had bought, paid her a $2,000 profit on her investment. That ended her career as a servant. “He could do that to me; why couldn’t I do the same to someone else?” she asked herself. And she aid, by getting a job selling New Jersey suburban real estate. Today she has a staff of twenjjy salesmen and women under her direction.” Alice Lauber has no explanation for the phenomenon of her success
