heard to recite, SO tradi-

more redolent and reflec-

mosques and minarets, of
magnificence and squalor,
of kiosks and cafes. Pal

and enchanting kiosks, in
Saracenic style, gay in
color of stone, stucco or
tile, and with superb
metal work, are seen side

of frame houses and mean
cafes. Broad open squares,
like unkempt back lots
where tin cans and goats
most do congregate, how

with the narrowest of i'll

as streets, and yet above
all this meanness. all this

unpretentious buildings,

Communities interested in the i'm
provement of roads are recommend
ed by the department of agriculture to
apply for a lecturer on the subject.
Lecturers will be sent at the govern
nent expense wherever there is rea-
son to believe that audiences will be
large enough to make the expenditure
of time and money worth while.
Whenever possible it is, Of course, de-
sirable for number of communities
in the same vicinity to make arrange
ments for lectures at the same time,
since in this way the travelling ex-
penses for each stop made by the lee
turer are materially reduced.
The number of lecturers at the dis
posal of the department is limited, and
1t is not always possible, therefore, to
comply with every request. When a
