A Livelihood for New Millions.
The Willcocks operations, which the

is the linda Barrage. which will

Euphrates, at Ramadi. When these

rage may be ready in a year and a
half, three million acres OF land that
is at present arid. will be available for
cultivation. The only real obstacle
feared by those engaged In the work
is the lack Of stablemindedness of the
Turkish government. and its depleted
treasury. This latter point is covered
It is understood in these parts. by the
terms of the contract with Sir John
Jackson. who practically finances the
undertaking. recouping himself from
the income of the new lands, receiv-
ing what is equivalent to seven per
cent. on the investment.
At present the area affected by the
irrigation project contains about a
million and half OF population. These
are mostly poor Arabs. who subsfst
on a pittance. so that thousands OF
them are glad to get work on the new
canals and barrages at IL cents day.
The women and children make even
less than this. while some OF the fore

In stead when they come to take up

cut at the corners, the cut is made
just around the corner in each case,
as shown in the illustration.
The best way to make it is to build
it of the required size, then take a
saw and cut down the sides a few
inches from each corner, as at a.
Make these cuts diagonal, so the form
will pull apart easily. Then nail

allow the nail heads to project slight
