ARABIA'S PLACE ON THE MAP
"CradIe Of Islam" Of Great Importance
in the Aspirations Of Warning
Countries.

At the junction Of the Tigris and Eu-
pirates rivers-a hundred miles from
the Persian CULTS the town of Cur
ma. The few tourists who in ante-bel-
lum days sailed past Gurna were told
to look with reverence at the spot, for
here was the original Garden of Eden,
writes John Van Ess In Asia Magazine.
In December, 1914, the British took
Gurna and for some time, at least, for
the first time, Arabia was put on the
map.
The advance which British arms
have made in the land of the Arab Is
important In proportion as the Ger
mans regarded Arabia as important.
Arabia looms large on the Teutonic
horizon because 1t Is the door to INIT
teleurOpa," and because it is the cradle
Of Islam. Since Islam is professed
by the majority Of the population in
Turkey and 100000 Of Indians and
100000 of Russians and 24,OOO,O 900
In the East Indies and 100000 In
Egypt and 100000 in China-Islam
was considered worthy Of an attempt
at wedlock, holy or unholy. If you
look at the map of the Mediterranean
you will see that Cyrus seems to have
a great finger which points just to
where Asia Minor bends down sharp
~ to form the Syrian coast. Napo-
leon noticed this more than q hun,
dred years ago and suggested tina,
there lay the key to any situation
which would Involve that part Of the
world. Follow the finger and 1t Is
significant that the objective Of the
British Palestine and Mesopotamian
campaign was Aleppo. Thence draw
the line across and you draw with al
most uncanny accuracy the northern
linguistic boundary Of Arabia.

Bread Now Made From Wood
Claimed to Be HeaIthfuI. Well
TaStinu. DiueStibIe Food

The Search for new materials to
feed the starving stomach Of Sweden
has, according to DR.. John w. Beck
man, a member Of the California sec
ton of the American Chemical soci-
ETY., again demonstrated that neces-
sity Is the mother of invention.
Sweden, located as Ii Is In the pre-
carious position between the two fight
Ing groups Of nations, has found 1t
hard to obtain its necessities from
either of the fighting nations. In
times Of peace, Sweden has always de-
pended upon imported wheat and 9TH
er foodstuffs from the East, as well
as from the West. With those imports
In many cases completely stopped,
Sweden has sought inside Of Its own
domain for new materials. Being n
country which is well wooded. 1t is
natural that Swedish chemists should
turn to the forests in search Of a sub
stirCte. This search has proven sue
cessful and a Swedish chemist has
devised a method by which wood can
be produced In such a condition that
1t can be used In bread making. In
fact, bread baked out Of two-thirds
wheat or other -four and one-third
spruce -four is a healthful, well-tasting
and digestible food.
Extensive experiments have been
carried out to learn the digestibility
of this spruce -four, or cellulose flour,
and all of them have proven that full
~ one-third Of the cellulose -four is
absorbed by the human being. The
manufacture Of this product Is now
under way In Sweden In sufficient
quantities to supply the needs OF
Stockholm. 1t Is being sold ut the
price of about 40 cents per pound. but
the volume Of this -four is about three
times that Of wheat.

Bungalow in India Usually
0ne-Storied House Having a
veranda, Projecting Roof.

For the small home no type OF build
bungalow. The word has been wide
ly used to describe the productions of
the "home builder and the real estate
OPERATOR" buildings SO APPALLING that
we are apt to forget that the bunga-
low Is properly a very unusual and in
teresting type of structure and one
peculiarly illustrative of the close re-
lation between climate and architec-
ture, writes Austin ID. Jenkins, in the
House Beautiful.
for house, Anglicized to indicate the
typical European dwelling in India, us
ually q one-storied house with veran-
da and projecting roof. The chief pur-
pose of the Indian dwelling Is to keep
ont the heat and the tropical rains.
The typical native bungalow and It's
English ~derivative are in arrangement
much alike. The walls are Of heavy
masonry. Both doors and windows arc
very large, and open on to verandas
which keep out the direct rays Of the
sun and protect the inner rooms from
the glare of tropical midday. The
rooms are arranged in suites, and ev-
cry possible cross draft is made the
most Of. Sometimes the roof is of tile,
but more frequently Of maize thatch,
woven on a bamboo frame, and of
great thickness. The eves project far
beyond the wall line.

FEDERAL N STATE
GAME LAWS
Shooting Must Be Confined to Time
During Which II Is Not Prohibited
by Either Set Of Regulations

In making their plans to shoot mi
gratory waterfowl, hunters will do
well to note the dates of open seasons
under both federal and state laws, ac-
cording to the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. There is cOnfu-
sion In the minds of some sportsmen | n
regard to the opening of the season
when the dates conflict under state
and federal laws.
The federal law and regulations limit
the seasons before and after which no
n may shoot these birds. If a state
law opens the season later or closes
II earlier than the dates prescribed by
the federal regulations, the season In
that state is just so much further
shortened. Special attention is called
to the fact that the federal regulations
do not authorize anyone to hunt or kill
migratory birds contrary to the state
law.
In certain states, as for example,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Missouri and South Dakota, the
season for shooting migratory water
fowl under the state law would open
prior to the date of opening under the
federal regulations were it not for the
fact that the federal regulations super
sede state laws In such case of con-
hict and prescribe for these states
September 16 as the beginning OF the
open season..

Umdni0lilai Lamp-rUStS
Add to Attractiveness
of the Up-to-Date City

There Is no feature of municipal
equipment that adds more TO the at
t~ractiveness of a city's appearance
than do ornamental street lamp-posts
Of artistic and appropriate design. Just
as the effectiveness or interior decOra-
lions and furnishings depend in a large
measure upon lighting fixtures, so the
beauty Of the street can be enhanced
or marred by its lights. In each case
q satisfactory solution Of the lighting
problem consists not only In supplying
sufficient illumination but also in pro-
viding lighting equipment that harmon
lies with it's surroundings and pos
sesses a beauty of it's own. The old.
time lamp-post in vogue before the
days Of electricity, writes Thomas j.
Davis, In the House Beautiful, fulfilled
the second Of these conditions, but not
the first; for, although the post itself
was often q work of art, its feeble oil
or gas flame seldom was equal to the
task Of Illuminating the street. On
the other hand, the modern overhead
arc lamp gives a fairly satisfactory
light, but the unSIghtly poles, ropes,
wires and other equipmenr can scarce
ly be called beautiful. Now comes the
ornamental street lamp-post, which
combines the beauty OF one OF It's pre-
deceSsors and the utility Of the other.

back and q mixture Of West Indian,
negro and Spanish blood. In Curacao
jicre apparently is more pure West
Indian and negro blood than in many
of the other islands Of the West In
dian islands.
The negroes themselves are q pleas
ant, agreeable race in Curacao, SEEM
ing to have felt the influence Of the
thrifty Dutch for many years.
Dutch is the official language of the
island, Of course, though English is
mostly spoken. The natives speak
Dutch and English slightly and have
a peculiar mixture of French, Span
ish, Dutch and Indian that is their
chief tongue. This language is very
crude and is never learned, simply abb
sorbed.
Scenes upon the streets Of Willem-
stad are certain to entertain every one
who has come here for the first visit.
Many of the streets are very narrow,
but always clean, and the views along
them form an interesting study.
In the hotels the food, though not
always of the best quality, is cooked
very well and is served in an appetiz-
ing way. Considering the prices
charged by the hotels and the prices
which they are required to pay for
the food, the fare is very good.
Outside Of Willemstad itself there
is little to interest anyone. The
island receives q small rainfall. Luck
lily for the inhabitants, Willemstad is
q free port, and they therefore are
able to import many foods and goods
without having to pay much more for
them than cost at their point OF orig
ination.
The Dutch government maintains
200 soldiers from Holland and an equal
number Of native militia at Willem-
stad. This force acts under the COM
mand of the governor and is for serv-
ice in all parts Of the island. The
peaceful nature of the islanders, how
ever, seems to make the maintenance
Of this force a needless expense.

CROSSING THE BAR

And may there be- no moaning Of the bar
When j put out TO sea.
But such n tide as moving seems asleep
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from u the
boundless deep
Turns home again.

And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness Of farewell,
When / embark.

When I have crost the bar.
