WASHINGTON-Some of the weekly

ceived in Washington from represent
atives of the United tates in foreign
lands tell of interesting things in
other countries. Among those recent

OF camels as freighters. According
to this report nearly $4,000 camels
are used in the villayet of Bagdad as
beasts of burden and with donkeys
they form the only means of carrying
goods to the inland points.
Camel caravans go in strings,
seven camels to the string, with two
men in charge. For a camel 45O

divided into halves. A burdened
camel travels two miles an hour; on
long trips across the desert IL miles

swift messengers, like the mounted

Played at Each Table.

OF all progressive games none Is

others, small table is provided for

these are supplied with the game
when purchased. There is no rule
against such games as Patent Medi-

tainly contribute to a merry uproar.
The winners progress at sound of
the signal given at the head table,
and play a new game. The losers
keep their places and must play the
same game over again.
The introduction of variety adds to
the pleasure, and as there is a change
of partners at each progression" /"

When every couple has made the

TYenty-three such classes for Grip
