NOW OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE
Port Whence Sinbad Sailed on Voyage
Of Trade and Adventure
,s Has Decayed.

In spite of the evidences of modern
industry, Basra was the port from
which Sinbad set out on his voyages
Of trade and adventure. Sinbad was
not q myth, but a real man with a
sailors love for the sights of foreign
lands, Louis A. Springer writes in
Asia. 1t must have been great event
when he sailed away with his fleet Of
dhows and when he returned with
treasures of far-off China and the
Eastern islands. The Basra of today
is a mean little town in a clearing of
palm trees two miles from the river,
and at its port, instead of the ladened
dhows are rusty tramp steamers with
tawdry wares of the West. Farther
up the valley, at Kurna, where the
Euphrates and Tigris join, is the ira
ditional site of the Garden of Eden !;
beyond are the ruins of Babylon and
on the bank of the Tigris is the rO-
mantle city Of Bagdad where Harun-
al-Rashid, the great caliph, attracted
the wits and the wealth of Islam and
ruled In lavish splendor. Down the
Arabian coast are great ruins, still
almost unexplored. Lovat Fraser, a
close student of this region, believes
that some day 1t will be demonstrated
that here was the scene of momentous
events that determined the course of
the human race while the shores OF
the Mediterranean were yet in iIhpene-
trable darkness and that here the first
dim glimmerings Of civilization
dawned upon the mind of primitive
man.

Protection of Soldiers.

The state council of defense
has sent the following notice to
all county and local councils of
defense:
''The signing of the armistice
in no ways lessons the response
bility Of the civil communities for
the protection of soldiers from
prostitution and the sale of
liquor. All states and cities ought
never lose the control which has
been established or stop this vital
work. " This is the message tel
egraphed by Secretary of War
Baker to all governors of states.
The government proposes to
leave no measures unused in con-
tinued repression of prostitution
and sale of liquor from now un-
til such time as rehabilitation is
fully accomplished. The war de-
partment is fully determined to
return soldiers to their families
and to civil life uncontaminated
from disease.
Reports of laxity from your
community after so much has
been done would be a disaster to
our soldiers and their families.
You are requested to consult
with your local health officers and
authorities and assist them to
prevent any relaxation of efforts.
The gains of the last eighteen
months will be lost unless vigil
ance is now increased.

That Loose Shoe Strinn.

Little things often lead to serious
consequences. So it Is not surprising
to learn that recently an employee of
a large manufacturing establishment
was coming down the stairway from
the third floor Of the warehouse, when
the lacing in one of his shoes became
united. He continued to go down the
stairs. and when about five steps from
the landing he stepped on the flowing
shoe lace, which threw him, and he
fell, striking his head and shoulders
on the bottom step with such force
that he died the next morning. Which
teaches us that one cannot afford to
be careless, even Ia such trivial de-
tails as loose shoe strings-Scientific

DELIVERY !
PLAN. URGED
BY FOOD HEAD
Grocers Of Central City
Concur in Suggestion Of
Clarence Wilson.

After hearing local Food Admins
traitor Clarence r. Wilson extol the
benefits aecruing from ''one deliy-
cry a day per customer" system, and
after some discussion Of the merits OF
such an arrangement, forty grocers
doing business in the city bounded by
Eleventh street on the east and X
street on the south. concurred In the
plan through resolution last night at
the Central High School
Operation of the newly proposed
system in the territory mentioned will
begin Just as quickly as the .co-opera-
ton of the other grocers there can be
secured.
Last nights meeting at the Cen
trail High School was solely given over
to a consideration Of the proposed cur
failing of deliveries, the comment
which followed Administrator Will
sons talk being invariably favorable
to the change. Arguing for the one
delivery method, Mr.. Wilson's chief
point of contention was that II would
cut down the cost Of doing business
and in all probability reduce the range
| Of prices.
When the system Is adopted by
all grocers in this section OF the city,
it is planned by the local food admin
istrator to introduce the same to other
parts OF the District, until the entire
city is covered. The action taken last
night is the first of its kind to be
adopted in Washington.
