~ ANZIBAR! Isn't there magic in
that name? II calls up to me
a vision OF Eastern splendor,
- OF nnbobs, OF gold and myrrh
and franklncense, of stately
palaces. Of harems peopled by dark
eyed Georgian and Circassion girls In
silken trousers and jeweled turbans,
lolling beside fountains whose water
ever FLASHED and made music in their
ears; OF gorgeous tropical nights, OF
heavens thick inlaid with patines OF
bright gold" OF gentle breezes laden
with all the perfumes Of Araby the
blest.
But the many changing years" have
made their difference here as else
where, writes A. w. Weddell In Los
Angeles Times. And 1t is q far cry
from now to the time when Vasco de
Gama's victorious galleons swept
around the Cape of Good Hope and
planted the Portuguese standard along
these shores.
After 800 Years.
But even after 300 years OF contact,
more or less frequent, with the West
ern world, the country presents today
much of charm and beauty, "a land
where 1t is always afternoon" with
every by.path leading to peaceful yes
terdays.
No longer do strangely-garbed Euro
peans gaze from the decks Of stranger
vessels over an alien land, yet still
the harbor is peopled with dhows from
Maskat and Lamu and the shores OF
India. peopled by dark, swarthy ma
tives, who bring down shawls, and
rugs and corded bales of Persian and
Arabian and Indian products, and bear
away cloves and ivory and copra.

LIGHT MARES PRODUCE THE BEST MULES

II Is foolhardy to use the best mares
for raising mules. There are too few
of them to keep up the horse supply.
There are plenty of poor or unsound
mares that win rear good mules, said
w. A. 5Cochel. head OF the department
of animal husbandry at the Kansas
Agricultural College, to a class in
horse production recently.
The best mule is produced from a
ilight horse. Professor Cochel said.
A good mule-producing mare has big
head; is rugged. roomy, comparatively
heavy bone, good big foot, and Is up
standing. The jack should be as high
as possible. have a Roman nose.
coarse bone. a big foot, and long ears.

WORK CASE IN DARK coLORS

This is a neat and useful little case
designed for holding four pockets OF

or art serge, and lined with soft silk
and bound at the edges throughout

The center portion on which the

and the lining. In the center Of this
Fart, a band OF broad white elastic
is sewn down ut intervals so that it
forms series Of loops into which
the scissors, bodklns, ETC., may be
slipped and held in place.
On the right hand and left hand
flaps, four little pockets are arranged
to hold packets OF needles. and In tho
lower flap, there are two long pockets
for silks.
To close the case, the two side peck
cts are folded on to the scissors, and
then the lower pocket folded upwards

less.
A careless or ignorant man can be
successful in breeding mules, but he
would fail with horses. But a careful
man viii be more successful with
horses than with mules. A Kansas
farmer cannot afford to work good
draft geldings, but should work draft
mares, mules, or geldings that are
still increasing in value.
The average value of mules In all
states except orc Is from one TO eight
dollars more than the average value
OF horses in the same states. The ex-
ceptlon is Rhode Island. There Is al.
ways a good market for mules. They
are freer from blemlshes and un-
soundnesses and less susceptible to
disease. They live longer than horses

Of the very last links between Living

COATS ARE TO BE LONGER
Partisan Dress Arblters Have Said So
but the Length ls to Have Some
Restrictions.

OF one thing We are certain: That
the coats on street suits are decidedly
longer than what women expected.
It is true that many short coats we're
brought over by the buyers, and hun
dreds more were made here, but the
masters Of dress, in Paris. accented a
longer coat and their models are win
ming out.
One does not mean by this that the
coat reaches the knees, or that 1t is
cut In a straight line around the dg-
ure, but 1t does mean that the waist
coat front reaches well below the
waist, and the back drops half way
down to the knees. There is no bob
tailed" effect in the smart coat this
month. 1t Is excessively broad, and
SO full under the arms that II appears
to be draped, and there is narrow
belt across the back to push up the
fullness above the walstline, but there
is enough Of a peplum below this
breadth and fullness to keep the
proper proportions.
One Of the very new street coats
has a panel inserted down the middle
Of the back which Is cut six inches
longer than the sides, hanging like a
sash to the knees. Il is straw
which shows how the wind win blow
BY the way. this coat was part If a
suit that had many new features In
