A Bagdad house In the summer % q
1ery furnace, and no one, unless bis
name be Shadrach or Meshach or
Abednego, could live within its four
walls with comfort, and yet the natives
have made a brave attempt to over
come the difficulties Of their situation.
Deep in the ground they have built cell
lars, or serdabs, and these serve as
cooling chambers. The cellars are
kept pretty dark. "The light enters," "
says one who has lived there. Through
small windows, or openings, where, in.
stead Of glass, is placed lattice OF
palm filed with a prickly camel's
thorn. Several times a day the occu-
pants sprinkle water on these thorns,
and the moisture cools the hot wind as
It passes through the rooms and gives
comparatively refreshing breeze.
But toward night these cellars become
'unbearably close, and then the entire
city mounts to the fat roofs, where It
dimes and sleeps. s."-Boston Transcript

The Ten-Year Feature

One OF the officers OF the Continental
Trust Company said last night that
much criticism he'd been directed
against the ten-year endowment fea-
ture Of the Thrift Club plan. This Of
ficer stated that most of this criticism
was from people who did not clearly
understand the plan. This ten-year
feature is one OF the very strongest
points in the whole system. Under the
rules of the club, this big bank becomes
trustee for your child for the term OF
ten years. reserving the right to turn
the funds over before that period should
family misfortune place actual want on
the child. Thus this growing account
becomes an insurance against your
rainy day.
Moreover. this ten-year feature per-
mits US to take small deposits which
would not otherwise be possible. A sin
gle 3-cent Thrift Club check will be
accepted. and the accounts may be
swelled by the addition of cash, quar-
tiers. dimes. even pennies being re-
ceived.
