in eastern Oman concerning a mySterl-
| Gus race of light-complexioned people
who live somewhere in the mountains,
shun strangers and speak a language
of their own" Various theories have
been propounded to explain the fable
but probably the explanation is to be
found in the narrative of a journey
made in Oman in 1876 by Col. S. B.
Miles, published some time ago in the
Geographical Journal. Col. Miles, in
the course of his travels nearly 80
years ago, anne across a town named
Sheraizi in the heart of the Green
mountains. This strange place was
perched like an eagles nest on the top
Of a great cliff and was inhabited by
a people of lighter skin than the rest
of the tribes of the interior. They
rarely descended to the plains, and re-
fused to mix or intermarry with the
Arabs. Col. Miles found they were de-
%scenGants of a portion of tie Persian
army which invaded Oman in the
tenth century. The isolation Of the
town and the curious behavior of its
people through so many generations
would undoubtedly give rise to eyag-
gerated stories in the bazars on the
distant coast. and in this case the orr
gin of the fable may be regarded as
fairly certain.
Unfortunately for the romance of tho
the world, it seems practically impos.
sible for stories of this character to
have the origins novelists would wish.

MYSTERIOUS WHITE RACES
Tales of Unknown Peoples Are Not

The idea that in some remote parts
of the tropics, amid the dark-skinned
races, there exist mysterious isolated
white tribes bearing a strong resem-
blances to Europeans has long possess
ed a curious fascination for the old
world, says Chambers Journal. q. :.

plan to go somewhere else. Take
Perth Amboy, for instance. We do
not claim that this city is a summer
resort, although there are many places
with that name which are much
worse, but we do know that other
people come here for their summer
outing and enjoy it, too. Pick up any
catalogue of summer resorts and what
do you find to allure people? 1t is
boating, fishing, sailing, bathing,
pleasure parks and beautiful drives.
Outside of the hotel accommodations
there is nothing at any of these. places
that cannot be found in Perth Am
boy. The hotel men make IA big fea :
ture of advertising the distance from
New York, playing for the commut-
ers. Not one of them can touch Perth
Amboy for that.
Situated at the head of Raritan bay
the boating, sailing, fishing and bath
ing is unsurpassed. The anus ement
parks are within easy reach where
there is music and dancing on a tlooI
equal TO any hotel ball room. AS for
beautiful drives and automobiling
there is the trip through the country
to, Metuchen or Plainfeld and ther
Staten Island, whose charm in this
particular cannot be surpassed, lies
only across the sound.
Yes, come to think of it, Perth Am
boy is an ideal summer resort. Size
up your own surroundings before de-
Gliding to go away to live in Il cramped
up, sweltering, hot, little hall bed
room in some hotel or boarding house.

The Newark Evening News thinks
the Raritan river bridge job has
been nursed to beat all records. Here
is what it says;
''Who has not heard OF the Raritan
river bridge at Perth Amboy? 1t is
the bridge begun several years ago
by the Middlesex county freeholders.
1t was built without approach, but not
without %reproach. Nobody could get
on to it from Perth Amboy, but the
freeholders got on to the bridge
