Great Northern Estate Corporation A Mutual Benefit Association kr 'Scientific Expedition Makes Interesting Discoveries. : > • * Philadelphia.--Religious figures belonging to a race which inhabited Ur of the ChaldeeJs before the flood have been unearthed by the joint expedition of the University of Pennsylvania museum and the British museum at Ur according to a report Just received from C. Leonard Woolley, field director of the expedition. The remains of a prehistoric factory and the copper figure of Rlm-Sln, one of the Sumerlan kings who lived about 1900 B. €* also have been discovered. "In my last report," Mr. Woolle# states, MI described the discoveries in the great shaft which we are sinking In the town site. At that time we had reached a depth of 21 feet and had found and removed the walls of eight distinct superimposed buildings.""Now we are at 56 feet below the level which on a conservative estimate we date at 3200 B. C. and, outstripping calculation In centures, we have to deal with the very beginnings of man's Settlement here In the River valley. Pre-Historic Factory. "Below our eighth building there came a change. No more walls of buildings appeared, and the soil was little more than a mass of broken pottery. The explanation was soon forthcoming. A brilliantly colored ring of red and green and pale yellow proved to be a burnt-out kiln of bricks lined | with fire-clay, and in the ashes which filled it there were still the Slay pots ' of the last firing. More kilns came to light, covering the whole area in successive levels; basins lined with cement bricks for the kneading of the | clay, potters' tools made of baked clay and pebbles for burnishing the pots. It was a pre-historic factory, and the dense mass of sherds which buried the site was made from the 'waters' discarded by the potter. "As the kilns lay four deep the Industry roust have lasted for a long time and for so long the regular sequence which marked the upper strata was interrupted; but below the factory level It began again. As we went down, the Jemdet Nasr pottery, painted in black and red and buff which had characterized the eighth house-level, grew scarce and was replaced by plain sealing-wax red wares with an admixture of the black and green pottery familiar to us from al'Obald; gradually the proportion of the latter increased and at last the red vanished and only the al'Ubald wares and plain pottery remained. Graves Are Found. "Then at 42 feet, Just when a belt of clean sand made it look as If we were reaching the bottom of all things, graves were found containing plain clay vessels of shapes new to us and, generally, in each grave a cup of that painted al'Ubald ware which, common as the fragments of it are, was represented hitherto by only three fairly complete examples. "The graves lay thick; some contained nothing but the body, with others we found simple beads and weapons of stone, but such were rare, and even the clay vessels were not numerous; It was noteworthy, too that whereas the fragments of painted pottery show a wide range of design, here the complete pots were all of one shape and all decorated In the simplest manner with plain bands Of color. But below these came more graves, and In them painted vessels of different shapes began to replace the plain pots and their decoration grew more and more elaborate. "The upper graves marked the degeneration of the al'Ubald period, the lower Illustrated its zenith. In three of the latter we have found objects of a different sort, pointed clay figurfnes of women grotesquely modelled on an archaic convention; too delicate to be dolls, these queer slender figures, aa also one of a painted bird with outspread wings, must be connected with the religion of the race which inhabited Ur before the flood. "Already we have reached the levels which mark that disaster and although one more stratum at least has to be probed we know from the results of trial shafts sunk In the cemetery area, where the phenomena are precisely similar, that virgin 8«ll cannot be far off.- THE QUALITIES OF LEADERSHIP John G. Lonsdale "ST ^ By JOHN G. LONSLADE " *v President American Bankers . i Association Leadership and success, in a general way, are synonymous. They are both founded upon simple codes of thought and aetion, upon the r e a l i z a t i o n t h a t he who wins the laurels must be * doer, not a waiter, that appli ation of energy, not time or luck is what counts most. A rabbit foot Is a poor s a b i t i t s t e for horse sense. B o t h s u c c e s s and leadership, if they be of the highest quality, are the result of service to humanity. Service has been aptly described as "the supreme commitment of life." Analyse the lives and times of all great leaders of history and you will find that those whose names are enshrined In the hearts of their countrymen are those who sought to render a needed service to the populace. Leadership, like suceess, need not, however, be international or national to achieve great results. There la room for each of us to be a leader In his community, in his work, in his church, and in various organizations. One of the Indispensable qualities of leadership is the ability to persist steadfastly in the face of discouragements. If George Washington had not possessed the quality of persistence, he and his soldiers would never have survived the hunger and privations which were theirs at Valley Forge. We have too many' young men and young women these days saying a job cannot 'be done. Too many spend their time explaining why a thing can't be done, instead of saying, #lth firm resolve, that it can be done, and then goins: out and doing it Anything that oiK?t to be done is capable of being done. And anything worth doing at all is worth doing well. The fellow who handles a little job in a big way Is always on the road to. greater fields. BANKERS STUDY CHAIN CHAIN BANKING The Economic Policy Commission of the American Bankers Association has been specifically instructed by the general convention of the association to study and report on chain and group banking developments, and also on the proposal of the Comptroller of the Currency for an extension of branch banking in the national banking system, to permit those banks to conduct branches in the trade areas surrounding their locations.

Vance of the Vance Air service, was the pilot In an airplane expedition against coyotes, In which four were found and all were killed. Pilots have found that if they circle over a coyote he will stop and assume a defensive attitude and is a good target. Leslie Barrett and J. B. Carmlchael, ranchers, were in the plane with Vance with a shotgun and a rifle, and each accounted for two coyotes. Firing from a monoplane Is comparatively easy, they said, particularly for one who has learned to fire from a moving vehicle. $1,000,000 Legacy to Be Devoted to Ex-Convicts New York.--The $1,000,000 Conrad Hnber, flashlight magnate, left his brother, Joseph Horwich, will be devoted to welfare work among ez-convicts, Horwich has announced. On his return from a vacation Horwich will announce definite plans for the disbursement of his inheritance. SECTIONS WHERE SAVINGS DEGREASE0 A regional analysis of the dtap in the nation's savings deposits In banks, as recently reported by the American Bankers Association's Savings Bank Division in its annual compilation tor 1929 showing the first recession In national savings In the twenty years during which it has published thla data, reveals y»at all sections except the New England and the Pacific States groups recorded losses. The published figures showed that on June 29, 1929, the total savings deposits in banks and trust companies of continental United States stood at $28,- 217,656,000, which was $195,205,000 below the similar total for 1928, when there was an increase of $2,300,000,000. The regional analysis by state groups discloses, however, that the six New England states as a group gained more athan $88,800,000 in savings and 182,984 In savings depositors, while the seven Pacific states as a group gained over $79,000,000 in deposits and nearly 278,000 in number of dep4eltors. The gains in these two sections, however, were smaller than the gains recorded there for 1928. The sections which showed losses are the Middle Atlantic States, Southern States, Bast Central States, and the West Central States. THE world outside bright, but Nadlne her darkest moods. "Why can't I do something worth trhile?" she asked. "I can't even fall In love and bring up a nice family," she told herself; "that would at leaSt be something." The telephone bell dragged her from her moorings of despair and a second later her voice held the notes of laughter. "If there's anything on earth I do want--It's to hear Cantor. I tried to. get seats and there wasn't even standing room for two-and-a-half shoes. You newspaper m?n get all the perquisites. A box? Oh, Tommy, you are a perfect dear. Yes, I will be there sharp at two." Nadine was a changed being. She radiated joy. Her one great passion was music and now she was to hear the greatest living violinist It was his one concert of the year in the city. Nadine almost felt that she could return Tommy's devotion so overjoyed was she at the pleasure he was giving her.v Nadine felt that she could hardly breathe as she took her seat beside Tommy in the vast hall. Nadine and Tommy were in the stage box and were chatting, or rather Tommy was chatting until s sudden swift silence fell and the curtains parted. , There seemed a moment when not a soul drew breath. That was the moment when the slight, pale-faced master of the violin stood before the worshipers. Then, a thundering applause broke before he was permitted to draw his bow. " Is there anything more exquisitely satisfying to the emotions^ than the soft murmuring8, twitterings and wailing sadness of the violin when played by a master hand? The soul drifts away on a realm of dreams where the flesh may not follow. Nadine was not conscious of anything save Cantor and his violin. The audience was just one mass of faces, all merged into an intensity of enjoyment, united in a bondage of music by the frail ethereal man on the platform. x Nadine's eyes had not left the master's face since the moment of his appearance. Then, the stupendous thing that had held her in its grip seemed suddenly to spring forth. Nadine, for the remainder of her days never ceased to give, thanks for the hidden force that dragged her eyes away from the master for one fleeting second. But In that second she saw. in the box opposite a stealthy hand, holding something that shone. There was not even the fraction of a second's hesitation In Nadine's mind. She flung herself like a flash of lightning over the - railing and stumbled against the master.1 A sharp report rang out and Nadine fell limply at the feet of him whom her action had saved. . The curtains flung swiftly together. Out in the vast hall, panic would have ensued, but the man who had fired the shot v*as Instantly caught and bound. It was evident that a dastardly attempt had been made on the greatest of living violinists and that only the quick action of some one had saved him. The audience waited, in suspense. It seemed as if an age passed before the curtain drew back and Cantor himself stood before them. His white hand held firmly to the heavy curtatn. His voice, when It came was firm, but with an effort. "A young lady," he said, with deep emotion, "has saved my life. She insists upon my telling you Jjrnt. she is not badly hurt. The btmet glanced her shoulder. A doctor is already in attendance. I regret that anyone has suffered on my account--I cannot--say --more." As Nadine lay in the hospital there was a beatific smile constantly In her eyes and on her Hps, as if she were In coi^stant communion with an unseen lover. When Cantor arrived In the afternoon, his arms were full of red roses. He dropped down beside Nadine and pressed his lips to the white hand on the coverlet "Why, oh. why did you do It?" he questioned brokenly, his eyes resting, as if upon an angel, on her face. Nadine looked wonderingly back at him. . "It was the most glorious^ moment of my life," she told him, "Don't you realize that I am only an atom and that yon are the greatest violinist the world has ever known? You give hap piness to music starved souls through out the length and breadth of the world. They would all mourn If you were to pass out while I--" The master's soft, sensitive ftngers covered Nadine's lips In that slight action there was more of the heart's language than in a thou sand words. A slow, beautiful flash csvpt late Nadine's cheeks. There are moments when the soui Is too fnll of happiness tor words. Such a moment ted cms* and Cantor. ^ l^-qt.
