Plant an Elm Says Botanist for Peace Commemoration
Professor Robert B. Wylie of the University of Iowa urges planting the white elm this spring to mark a new epoch of world peace. He notes elms require little care and may stand for a century, arching over homes of future generations, as maples fade from farms and towns. The elm is native to Iowa, grows well statewide, and is suited for lawns and streets. Pure seeds or transplanting from forests or roadsides are easy options. Elms resist pests, grow swiftly, form a high arching canopy, and live long.

Exploration of Nineveh by Layard in the 1840s
Sir Henry Layard, with Stratford Canning's backing, began excavations at Nineveh in Mosul in the early 1840s. His work uncovered palaces of Sennacherib and Ashurbanipal at Knajik and Neb-Yunus, leading to a sensational account published in 1848. He later returned as British Museum agent with 16000 dollars to extend digs, published again in 1853.

Old Mosul A Chronicle Of Rise And Decline
Mosul once prospered as an independent capital before the caliphate's decline. In the eleventh century it joined the Seljuks, and in the twelfth fell under Atabeg rule led by Zenkt. It enjoyed a brief splendor, with the pashalik governorship long hereditary in a Christian family, until the nineteenth century when the Ottoman Porte imposed centralization after a protracted struggle.
