Deryishes are the best known ex-

stasy, and oblivion to physical pain,
by concerted whirling and dancing
and bowling; and perform marvels
of self-laceration while i'll this state.
Now they have developed in both
branches of Islam, although they

look for the return OF the Twelfth
Imam, "El-Mahdi, at the end OF
the world with Christ, to rule man

way, disappeared at Samarra, the
present headquarters of the British
Bagdad expedition, and one OF the
finest mosques in the world is built
over the place of his disappearance.

brief orders cannot be formulated with
out being more or less open to criticism
and that it is hard to draw the line
anywhere between what is necessary
and what is not. Instead of irving to
pick flaws in the orders and to find in
constituencies, everybody should accept
them in the spirit in which they are
made and try to follow them. No one
who really tries to do his share Will
ever get into any trouble with the fuel
or food administration; the whole pur-
pose of the organization is to make it
possible for everyone 10 get little fuel

than a reasonable price, and it is safe
to say that whatever the faults of the
food and fuel administration may have
been, sugar would have been selling az

distribution and the prices. As bad as
things are, they might be (and may be-
