Bagdad is the largest city and tho most important trading center in that portion of Mesopotamia geographical ly known as "Irak- -Ul-Arabi," which comprises the privinces of Bassorah, Bagdad, and Mosul.
 From the earliest days Mesopotamia has been famous for its fertility, and most of the wealth of ancient Baby Ion was derived from taxes upon cereals Alexander the Great mar veled at its intricate system of ca nals and the excellence and abun- dance of the crops.

The scene was at the redroom at the Waldorf and the time the close of the oyster season. One of the as- sistant managers was summoned there hurriedly.
 "A man has just fallen over dead" said the bellboy who brought the word.
 The assistant manager hurried in. A thick-set man lay back in chair, his face blue. The hotel physician was sent for, and the body, still in the chair, was moved to less public place.
 The doctor hurried in and advised that the man be taken downstairs at once. He was smuggled around to a, back stairway and the assistant mana ger and the waiter started to descend with him. He was heavy, and when they got half way the assistant mana ger stumbled, and he and the waiter and the man in the chair fell heels over head downstairs. The man fell out of the chair with a great bump on the steps. From him came a cough. ing sound, and those who were picking themselves up were startled to see three large oysters fly from his mouth.
 Immediately the doctors face took on a cheerful expression. He sent for instruments and extracted several more oysters from the mans aesopha- gus, and the latter was soon complete ly revived. Then he proceeded to treat his rescuers to such flow of Ian guage that they put their fingers into their ears.
