Restoring Mesopotamia.

Under British occupation the fertile
regions Of Mesopotamia are being re-
stored to productivity, for which this
region was celebrated in Biblical days.
This IL disclosed In official dispatches
received at Washington from Bagdad.
Under Turkish rule in some places
nothing was produced.
The British authorities, to save a
large part Of the population from star
walton and to provide work, immedi-
ately set about, as soon a. the Turks
were driven out, to construct canals
for irrigation and to encourage the
population to plan for the next har-
vest. An Arabian labor corps was or
saniEed locally and three Indian labor
corps were employed.
A. result a new irrigation canal
has been opened at Mansarich, sev.
enty miles northeast Of Bagdad on the
Diaia river, by which 100000 acres
already are being irrigated.

Identification No. I.

When soldier gets his Identification
disk handed to him and it runs up to
S17.S41 or 2,7s3. .596-or some such
colossal number. he begins to medi-
tate briefly on the subject Of who has

query with the information that In the
infancy Of the A. e. F., No. was as
signed to Sergt. Arthur B. Cream Of the

The King Charles Statue.

King Charles 1 may now breathe
freely once more. Workmen have tax
en- away the sandbags and scaffoldink
OF the statue Of King Charles l in
Trafalgar square. This is the first
time the head Of the Stuarts has been
permitted to breathe freely for many
months. All sorts of speculationS have
been rife as to the reason for the ex-
tensive protection that has been ac-
corded this statue, one Of them being
that there was a Jacobite at the office
Of works. The probable reason, how
ever, is the undeniable beauty Of the
statue.-LondOn Mail.

Another Star Shell,

BY the invention of a new "star''
shell the night fighting efficiency OF
the navy will be increased at least 25
per cent, the war department has said
IN an oficial statement. The shell is
suitable for guns Of from three to i've
inch ealiber. Its value lies in the fact
that its increased Illuminating power
may be used without betraying the DO
sition of the craft using it.-Navy Life

I got into some pretty scrimmages at college. and I have seen some cushion throwing in various ball parks throughout the country, put never such a fierce affair as was pulled off when it was announced that the free entertainments were over for the afternoon. The battle came up like a sudden saua1l and ragged like cyclone. The air was thick with fly. ing cushions.

 ments in mills in Pittsburg were claimed to be in operation on a small scale.
 Strike Headquarters said that if any serious attempt was made to cause a stampede of workers it was a failure. It was asserted by union leaders that none of the plants reported to have started up today have many men at work. and that they were not turning ont any product. There were no reports today of any attempt on the part of the Carnegie Steel company to start up idle plants. Little change was noted in the works Of that company in the Pittsburg dis trict, though 1t continues to be main tained by operating officials that more men apply for work every day. Union headquarters here denied a re- port from Coatesville, Pa, that organ lzers there had advised men to return to work and that the strike In Coates- vile Is ended.
 At Homestead union organizers re- port that the big works there are con tinualiy losing men. In summary of the general strike situation sent out to all secretaries, organizers and steel strikers by national headquarters to- night, figures are given, as of October 6. indicating that 367,000 men are on strike.
 This is an increase of ss,5oo with the figures given out by headquarters just after the strike started.

ran out 10 the fair yesterday morn ing just to take a peep at it. At least that is what I meant to do. but did not get away until nearly dark, and enjoyed every minute of it.
 I first called on President Brown and found him busy as a bee, but not too engaged to be engaging. l never saw him so smiling and pleasant. I suppose it was brought about by his having been so successful in getting so many features for this year.
 Having put in day going through the exhibits. the Johnny Jones attrac- tions, under the chaperonage of my old publicity friend. Ed Salters, and in watching the splendid outdoor per formances. the races and outdoor stunts, like auto polo and Locklear's marvellous aerial circus can truthful ly say I enjoyed every minute I put in on tho grounds. and expect to go every chance can until the gates close.
 
 Caruthers, the great specialist in open air exhibitions has assembled some unusual and pleasing acts. The auto polo contest is about the funniest game ever saw staged. It's cross be- tween polo and football. I knew Fords could do many things, but in the hands of the experts who handled them I am sure new records are being made by the intrepid poloists.

If you can watch him standing with folded arms or swinging by his legs head down, or climbing a rope ladder from one ma chine to the other without catching your breath you'il never die of heart failure.
