GIVE BACK THE GARDEN OF
EDEN TO MODERN MAN AND
LAND-HUNGRY WORLD.

| What romance, what tragic events
have been staged in this remote nook
of the world! Scores of giants in his
tory have passed this way since the
episode of Eve and the serpent. Cy-
rus, Tamerlane, Ghengiz Khan, Alex
ander, Herodotus, Marco Polo, all
| famous in the annals of the East
have invaded this Garden of Eden.
Just to the north ran the old wall of
! the Modes.
Further up the Tigris basin stands
ancient Nineveh, where Layard and
others unearthed so many wonders,
and whence came the famous cunei-
form tablets, confirming the Bible
story Of creation, the fall of man and
the flood Northeast of Eden lies
ruined Ops, once the worlds center
of wealth, and the site Of the great
dam which irrigated all Mesopotamia.
And when the invading hordes de-
stroyed this dam all canals ran dry,
crops withered, the furnishing people
persisted or fed to the hills, and the
ruin of Babylononia began.
1t is to restore the lost fertility,
to give back a rich, productive Gar
den of Eden to modern man and a
land-hungry world, that one of the
greatest irrigation schemes ever
planned is now being carried out here
in Mesopotamia, says the Christian
Herald Millions of acres of rich
land, idle for ages, highly adapted
for cotton growing, grain and fruit,
are to be reclaimed. Sir John Jack
son and Sir William Willcocks-it
was the latter who built the great
Nile dam at Assouan and won fame
in Egypt-have been engaged by the
Turkish government to direct this
important work. Nearly 100000
600 is required to complete this giant
enterprise, which is already well I'M
der way Willcocks says the ancients
were scientific irrigators, and that all
he has to do is to clean out many
of their old canals and bitches, which
will answer perfectly for use in his
new system. At the British engineers
camp below Mussayeb l saw 1000
Arab workmen busily digging a new
channel for the Euphrates. A con-
crete mixing machine from Chicago
and tons of American interlocking
steel piles are being used to build a
great dam in the bottom of this false
channel.
Already the price of land in the
Garden of Eden, and as far away as
Bagdad and Amarah, has risen on ac-
count of the progress of the reclama-
ton work. The Arab, under foreign
guidance, makes a good laborer. 1t
was only when the British introduced
a steam engine-the first ever seen
in Eden-that few of the Bedouins
became nervous. Desert sheiks came
from miles around to see the strange
'smoke-horse with fire in it."

| SEVEN SINS PREY ON WOMEN
AT LEAST. A NEW YORK WOMAN
DECLARES SUCH Is THE CASE.
She Boldly Lists Them, Too, as Glut-
tony. LaZiness, Fear, Envy, Jeal-
Ousy, Revenge and Sensuality.

She Boldly Lists Them, Too, as Glut-
tony. Laziness, Fear, Envy, Jeal-
Ousy, Revenge and Sensuality.
NEW YORK.-There are seven
deadly sins of which women and soci-
ETY. are guilty, declared Mrs. Mildred
Manly Easton before the Life as a
Fine Art Club, of which she is the
president.
81 place gluttony first in the list,
because it seems to be woman's be-
setting sin. We are digesting all the
time. From breakfast until luncheon
women digest; from luncheon until
dinner time they digest again, and af-
ter dinner they are digesting the
greater part of the evening.
Lazy Women Half Dead.
'Laziness is the next most import
ant of Our sins. There are hundreds
of women walking around every day
more dead than alive.
Next comes fear. Fear pinches
us until we nave no Cll uldIIOu' w Z
grow fearful of poverty, of loneliness,
of trusting any one, and we are so
afraid of being seen talking with a
person who is not in our set that we
have developed into snobs.
Envy Destroys Beauty.
Jealousy makes a woman ungra-
cious, sour and snippy. This sin is
the root of all the mean little tricks
women play. Envy makes a woman
sneaking. When envy gets strong
hold on her it ruins her claims to
beauty.
Revenge develops the dangerous
woman. 1t makes you say to yourself
when you see her, beware of that
creature. Although I have included
lust in the list of seven deadly sins
it really isn't one of which many of
us are guilty"

ARE WOMEN LIKE MONKEYS?
AnthropolOgical Expert Says They Do
Not Look Alike, But Have
Bump" in Common.

WASHINGTON, D. c." Curiosity
is the common bond between woman
and the monkey" declared R. L.
Nicholson, Washington student of
anthropology. when one approaches
a cage of monkeys the curious little
simians flock TO the bars and exam
inc him from head to foot with the
most avid curiosity.
This same thing is true of wo-
men. They are continually prying
into things and can supply an endless
string of chatter about everything
they see
Il do not say that woman resem-
bles the monkey physically any more
than does man. 1t is only a mental
similarity. That part of the woman's
head called the curious bump is pro-
portionately the same as that of the
monkey"

sure, holes were torn in the cold air.
Then the warm air shot up in these
holes. This started the energy and
whirling motion and the tornadoes
resulted.
According to the professors holes
were torn in the cold air hovering
near Berlin, Yutan, Omaha and pos
sibly Tekamah.
From the survey Professors Con-
dra and Loveland have made of the
tornado zone they figured that the
storm varied in width from one
fourth to one-half mile and that It
took just 35 minutes for 1t to cover
40 miles. 1t started at sos and left
the state at $40.
More than 5000 men and boys went
into the devastated district today and
helped clear of its mass of wreck
age and debris. A spirit of civic
pride was manifested by all and as
result the chaotic condition of the
storm swept area presents a much
better appearance.

writing for the Commercial club

entire state as, on the whole it pro-

There are flaws in it, and few game

a solid vote against the referendum
will be registered in Eastern Oregon
should the men at Brownsville sue

FIGHT SCHEDULED
IN RANKS OF D. A. R.

Washington, April THE buzz of
politics at the capitol today incident
to the reassembling of congress, didn't
make half the noise as did the politi-
cal wire-pulling around the Washing
ton hotel lobbies-for the advance
guard of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution is in town.
Next Monday the Daughters will
meet to elect a new president-general
and minor officers. For the presi-
dency there is one of the most Bit
ter contests of the organizations tur-
bulent history. The candidates to
succeed Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, who
is ineligible for reelection. are Mrs.
William Cummins Story of New
York, Mrs. John Miller Horton of
New York and Mrs. Charles B. Bry-
an of Nashville, Tenn. Mrs. Story is
the "insurgent" candidate, defeated
for the presidency at the last conven-
ton. During that bitter election
fight, Mrs. Story's adherents made
charges of Influence" welded by
the administration"
Another fight is expected on the
bill for a federal appropriation of
100000 for a building supplementary
to Continental Memorial Hall, owned
by the Daughters. The insurgents
will fight this plan, advocated at the
instance of President-General Scott.
The convention will assemble April
IA and will last about five days.

THE BATTLESHIP OREGON
WILL BE SAVED BY U. S.

Salem, Ore, April THAT the war
department does not intend to dis
mantle the battleship Oregon and con-
sign her to the junk heap, is the in
formation contained in a letter re-
ceived by Gov. West from Josephus
Daniels, ne wsecretary of the navy.
The letter was in answer to a COM
munication of the governor enclosing
petition from the school children
of MedfOrd urging that the vessel be
saved from destruction.
Another petition is in circulation
in all the schools of the state ask
ing that the oregon be allowed to head
the fleet that formally opens the Pa
mama canal
Secretary Daniels letter is as fol-
lows:
"I have received your letter of
March II, transmitting a petition
signed by the pupils Of the Roose-
welt school, Medford, Oregon. urging
that the L. 5. S. Oregon be saved from
the junk heap and that the vessel be
stationed at Portland.
"In reply I beg to say that there is
no intention on the part Of the depart
ment to withdraw the Oregon from
the Pacific reserve fleet at the navy
yard. Puget Sound. 1t is true that the
status Of this vessel will be somewhat
modified in the near future. as short
age Of personnel renders it advisable
to eliminate a feature heretofore OBJ
tanning which involved the immediate
military preparedness Of the vesse. for
any duty. Similar action will be taxi
en- in the case Of contemporary battle
ships in the Atlantic reserve fleet.
This does not contemplate the dis
mantling of the Oregon in any sense
of the word, and for the present the
vessel will remain in the reserve fleet
and be cared for by a sufficient per-
sonnel to prevent undue deterior-
alton"

SLIGHT DUTY ON
WOOL Is URGED

Washington, April 6.-Senator
Chamberlain gave out the following
authorized statement of his position
on wool:
In view of the fact that oregon is
a wool growing state, it seems to me
in the preparation of tariff measure
some concession ought to be made to
the wool-growing industry, particu-
larly in view of the fact that a re-
duced duty is retained on the manu-
factured product l am advised that
wool-growers in the west and mid
die west would be satisfied with an
advalorem duty Of Is per cent. This
small concession would not add APP
preciably to the cost of the manufac-
tured product, and therefore would
not have material influence on the
high cost of living.
"I have always felt that the wool
grower is unfortunate in linking his
fortunes with the manufacturer. He
has been used as cats-paw and du-
ties which have been imposed by the
combined efforts Of the manufactur-
er and grower have been largely to
the advantage OF the former. While
the wool-grower has had paper duty
Of II or y cents, in the actual work
ing Of the wool schedule he has not
received more than Z cents, and this
has been so clearly demonstrated in
the recent discussions of the tariff
that the wool-grower has become
convinced he has been used as an in
strument TO assist the manufacturer
rather than his own industry. Inas-
much, however, as the immediate ef-
feet of placing wool on the free list
might for a time seriously disturb
the wool-growing industry it would
be far better 10 retain a Is per cent
ad valored duty. and II no disturb
ance was created. wool might event
ually be placed on the free list.
IF the house passes the general
tariff bill designed to carry out the
pledges which democrats and repub-
licans made TO revise the tariff
downward, I would not let my vote
be influenced by any one item plac-
ed on the free list against my per-
sonal objection. In other words 1t is
better to sacrifice my individual in
terest than that a burdensome rate OF
taxation be levied upon the whole
people. / believe the tariff ought 70
be revised downward. and so far as
my vote and influence gees 1t shall
be. The retention of a slight duty
on wool, however, would not violate

EXPERTS TELL HOW
TORNADOES FORMED

Omaha, Neb., April There were
three distinct and possibly four tor
nadoes in Nebraska on Easter Sun
day. according to Professors Condra
and Loveland OF the Nebraska State
university who are here gathering
statistics on the storm for the federal
government. They were all parts Of
the same disturbance, however. The
professors declard that II the twister
which tore through Berlin, Neb., had
struck Omaha, II would have been
wiped off the map.
This explanation Of the tornado is
given by the scientists:
There was a great mass Of cold
air coming from the northwest. At
the same time there was lower cur
rent for the southwest.
The two masses passed. one under
the other, the colder air above. The
colder air naturally pressed down on
the warmer air. Harder and harder
