Ruins Of Fortress Of Opis Revealed
By Excavations Carried On 1
By Joint Expedition
Ruins of the ancient city of Opis,
fortress of a dead kingdom, have been
found near the Tigris river in Iraq,
in the vicinity of excavations being
carried on this year by Leroy Water-
man, professor of semitics, under the
auspices of the University and the
Toledo Museum, of Toledo, Ohio. After
two millenniums of slumber, bricks
inscribed with cuneiform writing, just-
ifying the authenticity of the city be-
ing that of Opis, and 500 or more other
relievs were revealed.
* ~F1id List Of R~igs
One of these cuneiform tablets con-
tains a list of dynastic kings, while
another almost equally important one, I
deals with the ancient kings of Ak-t
shak, which is the obsolete name for
Opis. One of these documents was
taken from a sidewalk of the unearth-
ed town, while the others came from
the side of a building, and they neither
have as yet been' completely deciph-
ered. Besides the greatness of this
find, it is almost phenomenal to have
picked out this one small mound as1
the location for excavation.,
"Like trying to hit a bull's eye with
only a landscape target on which to C
draw a bead," is the way Blakemoore.
Godwin, director of the Toledo Mu-
seum, who was first to receive the
news, described the feat of locating
Opis.
The layout of the city includes a tem-
ple site, a cemetery site, a portion of
a city wall, pavement foundations and
several wells, in which were foundI
a large percentage of the relics, in-
cluding seven water pitchers.
Includes Bronze Coins
On the fifth level of excavation, a
temple area, bronze coins,'glass sculp-
ture, ,tera cotta figures' of human
beings and animals, heavy stone im-
plements, pottery, lains, ivory but-,
tons, and a glass goblet were yield-
ed to the explorers. It is expected
that these relics will fu'inish students
wvith new material with which to study
the various phases of these ancient
jpeople's lives, before they were wiped
from the face of the earth by the
forces of nature. These newly found
treasures are to be shared by the
University and the Toledo Museum.
The exact site of Opis on the Tigris
is not far from the place where it
meets the Euphrates river and is op-

While it is being rumored from
authentic sources that every B.MO.C.

thwart any move to stop publication
of the disclosures.

FAMOUS NOVELIST1
WILL LECTURE IN
HILL AUDITORIUM
Inlander officials continued to make
plans yesterday for the lecture ap-
pearaice of Zona Gale, at 4:15 o'clock,
Thursday afternoon in Hill auditor-
ium. Miss Gale is being brought to
Ann Arbor under tlie sponsorship of
the America'n Association of Univer-
sity 'Women, through the efforts of the
Inlander lecture course.
Although attaining her chief fame
as a novelist, Miss Gatc has also been
extremely successful as a playwright
and short story writer. Perhaps her
best story was. "The Ancient Dawn,"
winner of the Butterick $2,000 prize
contest in 1911. One of her plays,
"Miss Lulii Bett," was awarded the
Pulitzer prize award in 1920.
Her first professional writing ex-,
perience was gained on a Milwaukee
daily. She later spent a year and at
half with the New York World. Since
then she has confined her work to
free lance writing, contributing to
both newspapers and magAiines.
She was born in 1874 in Pcrtage,
Wisconsin. She attended the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin for four years and
has in later years been made a mem-
ber of the board of regents of that in-
stitution. Since 1920 she has been a
member of the Wisconsin library com-
mission.,
Of her impressiois of the New Ycrk
where she worked originally as a re-
porter and later as a playwright, Miss
Gale writes, "New York is simply a
magnified Friendship village. Many
of the things . have made my small
town characters say were really said
to me by people in an absolutely dif-
ferent enviornment, people steeped in
the atmosphere of citie's."

SEVEN ISLANDS, Quebec, April 23
(By Canadian Press)-All parts nee-
essary for the reconditioning of the
trans-Atlantic monoplane Bremen
were on Greenly island today and the'
plane. was expected to be in the air
again headed for New York before
the end of the week.
New York city's relief plane, stock-
ed with spare parts and supplies at
Lake St. Agnes, took off here at 5:10
o'clock this morning and made the
500 mile flight to Greenly island inl
six hours and a half, arriving there
at 11:40.,
The plane was piloted by Bert Baal-
chen, one of Com. Richard Byrd's!
trans-Atlantic crew, Major James
Fitzmaurice, the Irish member of the
Bremen's crew who came out to civil-
ization in the first relief plane to get
aid for his German comrades, Baron
von Huenefeld and Captain Koehl.
The Germans presumably banqueted
tonight in a style strange to them
since they took off from Baldonnel air-
drome near Dublin, a week ago last
Thursday. On Greenly island the fare
is corn beef and salt pork with milk
to drink but in the rlief plane there
was roast beef, vegetables, delicacies
of various sorts, and wine to drink
as a toast of thanksgiving.
Floyd Bennet, Byrd's north pole
companion who flew the relief plane
with Balchen from Detroit to Lake St.
Agnes but who was stricken with
pneumonia, was in a Quebec hospital
today attended by local doctors and
two specialists from New York.

Royal Oak and Zeeeland will clasht
for state forensic honors in the Elev- t
enth Annual State Championship de-1
bate of the Michigan High SchoolT
Debating league which will be held1
at 7:45 o'clock Friday night in Hill
auditorium. -
These two schools woa the honort
of appearing in the state champion-1
ship contest by emerging successful-I
ly from the schedule of debates ar-
ranged by the Michigan high school1
debating league, which is one de-
partment of the extension division of
the University. Prof. Gni E. Dens-
more is the present manager of the1
league.
Both teams won their way through1
perhaps the hardest schedule everI
arranged in the history of the league
BW which 244 high 'scools placed morer
than 1,500 debaters in the 600 contests
held throughout the year. Memphis
and Cheboygan were the two schools
eliminated in the semi-final debates.1
The question which will be con-
sidered in the championship coittest
is one which has been used in all the
regular debates in the league this
year. It is "Resolved, That the dir-
ect primary system of nominating
candidates for public office in the
United States should be abolished."
Royal Oak will uphold the affirmative
and Zeeland the negative.
Prof. Jamnes M. O'No'll, head of
the Speech department, will presidew
at the debate. The three judges of
of the contest will be Bean Edward
H. Kraus, Dean Clare E. Griffin, and
Prof. William A. Frayer.
According to Professor Densmore,
great interest among the high schools
of the state has been aroused by the
many attractions which have been ar-
ranged for the entertainment of the
debate delegates. More than 3,000
visiting high school delegates are ex-
pected to come to Ann Arbor to at-
tend the championship contest.
A special convocation service has
been arranged, which will be addres-
sed by Dr. Gordon J. Laing, dean of
the Graduate school of the lniversity
of Chicago. The second annual Pu-
pil-Teachers (on#"erence, scheduled
for Friday afternoon, will be addres-
sed by President Clarence Cook Lit-
tle.
Immediately preceding the debate'
in Hill auditorium the 'Varsity band
and the Jackson high school boy's
chorus of 80 voices will unite in giv-
ing a concert. Through the courtesy
of the Athletic association, each vis-
iting delegate will be given a, compli-
mentary ticket to the Michigan-Syra-
cuse baseball game on Saturday.

Participating in the first all-Amer-
can air show ever to be staged, the
Aeronautical engineeringdepartment
sponsored an extensivetexhibit in Con-
vention hall in Detroit. The Univer-
sity of Michigan booth included about
600 square feet of floor space.
The exhibit, which was in charge of
R. W. Miller, Grad., and C. R. Strang,
'28E, included various kinds of aero-
nautical instruments and models. A
small wind-tunnel produced a series
of air currents which made possible
demonstrations of a series of aero-
nautical phenomena. A small air-
plane model was flown in the air cur-
rents.
Another feature !of the exhibit was
the dynamo driven by power furnished
by a windmill. Two small electric
lights were lighted by the current
thus generated. A dynamometer
which demonstrates the variation of
the lift of a wing with the variation
of the angle of incidence was also in-
cluded. A wing model with a pressure
guage attached to show the suction of
air on top of the wing was on ex-
hibition.
A model hang, r with a pressure!
guage which showed the upward pres-
sure on the roof proved to be an inter-
esting part of the -exhibit. Propellor
and propeller truss demonstrations
attracted many people to the booth.
Photographs of planes designed by
alumni, and a collection of pictures of
the new wind tunnel were shown.
The telescopic protractor which de-
termines the angel of incidence of
models being tested in the currents of
the wind-tunnel, together with a show-
ing of parts selected -from the air
plane parts collection of the depart-
ment completed the exhibit. The ex-
hibit was prepared by seniors in aero-
nautical engineering, under the super-
vision of Mr. E. N, Fales, of the Aero-
nautical engineering department.
