MUSIC CT BAn6ARY STATES
Played by Men of the
Great Desert.

"The four HHrbary states are MorOc-
co, Algeria unis and Tripoli,' is Il
lesson most Of us learned in childhood,
and most of us know very little more
about them today.
Mrs. Mabel l.. Todd comments on the
children of Tripoli, in "rripoh the
Mysterious" They acquire languages,
she declares, without effort and the
street urchinS use easily French, ltal-
ian, and all the languages that are
current in their narrow streets. The
strange music of the city, too, the
weird chants, the cymh&ls, fugcolets
and queer stringed instruments, all
deeply impressed the American visitor.
Sometimes at dawn, when roofs and
mnarets were daZzlingly white against
the sapphire sky. while yet the laby-
rinthine streets at the bottoms of Stuc-
co canyons lay in twilight gray, strange
men from the desert would stalk by,
making uncanny music.
One Of them, very tall and blacker
than most, was dressed in a low
nccicd short -sleeved garment, greatly
abbreviated as to skirts; playing melo-
dies in minor mode unknown To the
West, and his stride was full of dig
nifty well-nigh appalling.
The instrument slightly rcsemblcd
Scotch bagpipe decorated with bar
barrie strings of shells and beads, an
Inflated skin with primitive mouth
piece, and at the opposite end two
pointed projections like horns. His
companion beat upon a curious little
tomtom, and now and then sang
blOOdcurdling chant.
Black boys followed, jumped shout
ed, danced like wild creatures. excited
beyond all bounds by this oddly com.
polling music, us the rhythm penetrat-
ed and seized their imagination. Al
though these men of mystery generally
passed about sunrise, they sometimes
went by in the night; once or twice the
weird performances took place about
two O'Clock in the morning. The min
strels always walked with peculiar
swiftncSs, intent upon the serious bust
ness in hand.

American Woman.

Our American woman has become
emanclpatcd over night, she has
emerged from her chrysalis stage OF
humble dependent 10 the butterfly
stage, ful-winGcd and jcwcled, in the
same brief time the transformation
takes place in the lower order of ma
ture.
From having been negligible and
voicelcsS she is now fixed quantity
and vocifcrouS.
Her suddenly gained freedom has
made her fcVcriSh, restless, excited
to do things.
Her Justification for what she has
won, and her plea for still larger pow
or, is her moral superiority.

Why Feed Extensively?

College Park, Nd, October 60
Poultry Keepers are facing serious
problem in feeding their laying hens
economically, owing to the high price
Of whole grain. Poultryman Roy II.
Waite, of The Maryland Experiment
Station, gives the following timely ad-
vice regarding the feeding problem:
There Is no excuse at the present
time for feeding poultry on corn alone.
Wheat prices have gone out of sight
for poultrymen. At least it does not
pay TO feed the good grades, especially
If it has to be bought. Corn is nearly
as high but is about the only grain
that one can afford to feed. / was
very much surprised few days ago
to find that | could purchase ingredi-
ents with which to mix good poultry
mash cheaper per hundred pounds
than corn.
Corn was $1.05 per bushel, retail.
Bran was $3.50 per hundred pounds.
MiddlingS were $50 per hundred
pounds.
Beef scrap was $500 per hundred
pounds,
All these prices, paid $1.S7 per hun,
dred for corn and but $3.50 per hun
dred for mash containing 20 per cent
beef scrap and 80 per cent OF wheat by.
products. There is no good reason
for not feeding mash when it is cheap.
er than corn.
Hens cannot lay ON corn alone. They
must have more protein than corn
win furnish. Hens that eat but do
not lay, are complete loss, no mat
ter how high prices Of eggs are. Why
moi turn them into profit? Com
mercial meat scrap, table or butcher
scraps, skim milk, etc, will furnish
protein in a good available form"

Gaslieht in OIL Lamp.

A war time substitute for the kero'
sene oil light has been provided in
Germany in the form of carbide
candle which supplies the old lamp
with acetylene gas, the Columbia state
notes. The candle is Il cylinder having
Il suitable gas burner at the top and
removable cover at the bottom, and
holding two or three ounces of cal
cium carbide. 1t is set into the lamp
after the oil burner has been removed.
In operation the font of the lamp is
about half filled with water and the
carbide filled candle is placed in 1t,
when the moisture reaching the car
bide causes the generation of accty-
Iene for Il considerable time. The rate
of emission Of gas is regulated by vary
ing the amount of water. A chalky
residue is left on the exhaustion of
the carbide, but this is easily removed
when dry or with suitable care, while
still wet and in this state giving off
small amount of inlammable gas. The
average cost of the carbide used is
stated to be about Il quarter of cent
an hour.

Moreover, tie Governor regards him as
an unusually level-headed man IN the

The names of former State Senator
Carville d. Benson, of Baltimore coun-
ty, and Charles Clayton, secretary TO
Congressman Lewis, also have been
suggested. Mr.. Benson is admittedly
one of the most capable men in the
Democratic party. Mr.. Clayton has
