THE KELEK.
A Peculiar Raft Boat Sacred to tn.
River Tiqris.

River Tigris.
From Diarbekr to Bagdad, as q
crow might do it, the distance is
about 400 miles. AS the kelek goes
"a contrivance sacred to the river
Tigris since the days of Adam and
Eve-the distance is nigh upon a
thousand miles and the time occu-
pied anywhere between eight and
twenty days. In ''The Short Cut to
India" David Fraser tells of the
kelek and of his journey.
The kclek is easily constructed.
Take any number of inflated goat
skins, from 100 up to 500, and tie
them in rows underneath a frame
work of poplar poles. One or two
pairs of great oars complete the
ship, and it is ready for crew, cargo
and passengers.
When q "globe trotter" ships
aboard kelek some of the cargo is
left behind, and upon the space
thus left vacant hut is erected. A
light wooden framework is hung
round with cotton walls that roll up
or let down, according to the desire
of the occupant. In addition, the
roof has thick grass mat to keep
out the sun.
The traveller enjoys entire pri-
vacy as regards the people on his
own kelek, for he gives orders that
is to come abaft his gable.
At the end of his little house and
projecting astern of the raft is a
tiny bathroom protected from pub
lie gaze by cloth walls.
Thus the kelek combines all the
advantages Of a modern mansion,
living room, kitchen, sanitary ar
rangements, abundant light and air
and panoramic scenery that is an
eternal feast for the eye.
We sailed one morning at 10
o'clock, with the temperature over
hundred in the shade. But heat may
be corrected by a minimum of
clothes and a maximum of cold
water. The Tigris comes straight
from the mountain SHOWS of Kur-
listan, and its food was like ice
with the fire of the air.

HE HAD GOOD NEIGHBORS.
Farmers Near Waterville Pillow Land
for Man in Bad Luck.

Waterville, KAN, Sept. THE real
Kansas spirit, the spirit of true broth
erhood, which leads men to help in a
substantial manner a fellow being who
has run up against a streak of hard
luck, has been foreibly exemplified in
this vicinity. q Several members of the
Clarence Nichols family, who reside in
Cottage Hill township, being i'll with
an attack of typhoid fever. left the
head of the house in a poor position
to care for his farm work. and as a
consequence the ground he had PLAN
ned to ploW to seed to wheat stood
idle. and it looked to him as though
he would be unable to get matters ar
ranged to put in the crop for another
year.
But fortunately for Nichols he has
good neighbors. A party of them,
numbering twenty-one in all, learning
of Nichols plight, decided to pillow his
wheat ground for him, and without
more ado they proceeded to the Mich
OILS farm with twenty plows and a total
of sixty-seven head of horses and
started the job. which was completed
in short order.
The neighbors participating in this
alruistic act were: Frank Roy, Gail

Fred Lee and Ray Ghormley
Make European Tour.
Had Little Money and Worked
on Cattle Boat.
TRIP COST THEM $500.
Visited England, Scotland,
France and Germany.
Also Saw the Great Passion
Play in Bavaria.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. Fred Lee
and Ray Ghormley, two University of
Kansas boys have just returned to their
homes from a tour of England and the
European continent.
The two college chums set out last
spring as soon as the university had
closed on their long trip. They want
ed to see the Passion Play at Ober-
ammergau.
Their first objective point was Mon
treal, Canada, where they secured a
job on a cattle boat. In this manner
they earned their passage to Liver
pool together with enough money for
the return trip. From Liverpool, they
went to Edinburg and there attended
the worlds missionary conference
which was converting there. Then they
set out afoot and on bicycles to see
the historic places in Scotland.
After completing their visit among
the British and Scotch they went to
the continent, and wheeled their way
through the greater part of France
and Germany and into Bavaria where
they saw the Passion Play. Some days
they made 80 miles on their bikes but
most of the time they went much slow
err, visiting as many of the places of
historic interest on the way as posi-
BILE.
AS the boys had some knowledge of
the French and German languages,
they did not have much trouble in
getting through the various countries.
The entire trip, including their rail-
road fare to and FROM Montreal did
not cost the boys more than $500.
Ray Ghormley lives in Hutchinson
and Lees home is in Columbus. Kan.
He will be graduated from the uni
versity this spring. He will then go
into the ministry. For some time while
he has been attending the university.
he had been doing ministerial work and
has been making a great success of it.
He is also a member of the student
council of the university and a most
active worker in the University Y. NJ.

that their beauty is due to their
knowledge of how to- keep their hair
luxuriant, which they do by using a
superior hair tonic.
