300 Men Search in Mesoptamian
Area for Archeological
Material.
SEEK CITY OF SELEUCIA
Letter Outlining Work Already
Accomplished Received
by Ruthven.
From the black soil of Mesopo-
tamia, the Biblical cradle of man,
science is slowly, and carefully ex-
cavating for objects which, when
completely uncovered, will be the
basis for the reconstruction of one
of the oldest civilizations the world
has known.
Under a blazing tropical sun, in
the area between the Tigris and
Euphrates, 300 men of the Michi-
gan - Toledo - Cleveland archae-
ological expedition, under the direc-
tion of Prof. Leroy Waterman of
the department of oriental lang-
uages and literatures, are constant-
ly at work uncovering the rem-
nants of an ancient day.
Search for Agora.
A large temple, pottery, terra
cotta figures, household imple-
ments buried by centuries of lava
and shifting sands, have already
been cleared away and the expedi-
tion is now feeling.out the blocksi
adjacent to past diggings, looking
carefully for the Agora or markett
place of the Helenistic city of
Seleucia.t
There have been four cities built i
on this same site. The earliest wasa
the city of Akshak, built in Sumer-~
ian times. Then follow Babylonians
Opis, Seleucia, and a later Roman
city. The city of Seleucia, forthe
uncovering of which work is nowc
going on, was named after one of 1
Alexander's generals, Seleucus. The
market place of this city probably i
will not be uncovered until thet
next level is reached.s
Enlarge Pottery Collection. V
A letter from Professor Water-
man to President Alexander Grant t
Ruthven, outlines the work already
done and that which is planned. e
"The pottery collection is de- t
veloping nicely," the letter states. f
"A wide collection of glazed and s
unglazed glass has been gathered. n
A complete set of scale drawings l1
of this glassware is in the process p
of preparation." t
Among the most interesting of
the finds is a "harpy," a human i
headed bird of bronze, probably .S
used as a perfume bottle by some
distinguished lady. Up to the pre-
sent, only two other of these D
harpies have been found; one is in I
Londor, the other in Berlin.
Then there is an alabaster statu-
ette, "The Black Madonna of theD
Chair," which is eight inches high
and three and one - half inches
broad, wears a head dress of plaster
and sits on a chair of terra cotta.
She is completely draped and traces
of gold bands have been found on
her arms and throat.
Evidence of excellent organiza-
tion and spirit in the expedition is d
given in Professor Waterman's let- i
ter, which says that the staff is C
splendid and that work is going e
along at a good rate. A well for
the staff house has held up opera- c
tions for a short time, but it is ex-tu
pected to be ready for use soon. n

ON HEALITHSERICE
Unprecedented Amount of Work
Accomplished During
Summer Session.
Health Service cared for more
students and treated more cases
in its hospital during the Summer
Session than in any similar period
in its history, according to Dr
Warren E. Forsythe, director of
the service.
September was the busiest month
the service has ever known. This
ncrease of cases was not due to
any epidemic or like cause; colds
and minor ailments were respon-
sible, he said.
"This illustrates what we call the
construction phase of health serv-
ce work," said Dr. Forsythe.
'More and more people are look-
ng to their -general health and
aking measures to maintain it, in-
tead of coming for treatment only
when seriously ill. This tendency
;eems to be slowly becoming na-
ion-wide."
Only 1,808 men students took the
xamination this year, in contrast
o the 2,102 of last year. The dif-
erence in the number of women
tudents' examinations was not so
narked with 907 this year and 941
ast year. The decreases made
)ossible an enlargened and more
horough scope of examinations.
The following figures show the
ncrease of patients of the Health
Service:

Gibson Guitars and
Banjos
In order to guarantee to our patrons only the
- utmost value in instruments of all kinds, The University
Music House this year is handling only one make of
each kind of instrument-the one which we sincerly
believe to be the best in its field.
_ Martin Band Instruments are :noted for rJiir :on
superiority and the smoothness of their action. They
are equally adaptable for the beginner -nd for the
finished player.
Gibson string instruments have in them the spirit
of the master craftsman. They are designed to be -
always ahead of their field by several years, and the
reputation which Gibson Instruments bear shows the
success at this aim.

ary; earnings increase during the
first twenty years, remain about
the same for the next ten, and then
drop off sharply; average income
for the entire group is $1548, while
the independent worker averages
$2043.
In every profession and business,
earnings increased perceptibly in
proportion to the amount of edu-
cation received, though a decided
tendency on the part of those edu-.
cated to choose the less remunera-
tive professions, (teaching, clerical,
social service), was noted.
