is declared by the solver of the
tablet to he the same as Noah, so
that the episodes of the Hood and
the garden of liden are in a way
identical and not detached as in the
accepted version of early history.
The most important aspect of this
reading ol the tablet, however, is
not the identification of Adam and
Noah, but the acquittal of Eve of
Adam's temptation, and if this is
accepted womankind is relieved of
a grievous burden which has been
borne for many centuries."
Kansas, the glorious Sunflower
State, has taken the lead in giving
to woman all that she wants, and
possibly something more. In that
Stale here are some tilings that a
woman can legally do:
Can lake back her maiden name
after her husband is dead, without
any legal process or legislative act.
Can keep her own name when
she is married.
Can persuade her husband to
take her name and give up his
family name, if she does not like it.
Can keep her maiden name and
her husband keep his.
Can retain her maiden name for
business transactions and use her
husband's name for social affairs.
If wife does not like either her
own or husband's family name
they can change to a name thai
does suit.
A woman can weara man'scloth
ing without any restriction except
that she must not pose as a man.
Site can vote at every election.
She can hold any office in the

SAYS WAR IS NOW MURDER.
The Archdeacon of London,
preaching in St. Paul's recently to
the repeated Zeppelin raids otr
London, says:
"1 need not go farther back than
last Wednesday," said he, "to tell
you that battle has changed into
murder. Speaking with all the
restraint that is due from every
preacher, as well as from the press
and with the knowledge and con
sent of the censor, I tell you that
to one hospital alone were taken
the dead bodies of little chil
dren of tilieen, ten, seven and five
years and of one little baby, so that
the nursery became a slaughter
house.
"Of the imperial murderer who
allowed it, if he did not order it,
