douins) and "Al Hadr," or. "Dwellers
in Fixed Localities"


in Fixed Localities"
The Bedouins. roaming with their
herds all over Arabia and even up into
Mesopotamia and Syria, are better
known to American missionaries, Of
ficials and travellers than the Hadr
class. They are nomads from necessity
and not from choice, and, as the coun-
try comes under better rule, roads,
trade, and irrigation, will undoubtedly
reduce the number of Arabs forced to
lead this wandering life.
Although Bedouin and bandit are al
most synonymous terms in some parts
Of Arabia, this is hardly fair to the
Bedouins when we consider the way
they have to live. When they hold up
Mecca caravan, for example, and
exact a sum in cash for protection, !"
they look on this merely as their right
| full share Of taxes, habitually collected
and kept by border officials. A re-
form Of these desert manners and
methods will most probably ensue as a
result Of the British mandate over
Arabia.
Although nomnally Mohammedan,
| the average Bedouin is said to worry
but little about the Koreans rules or
whether his mode of living would
please the prophet. The wilder tribes
even worship the sun, trees, ETC., or
else have no religion at all, it is said.
Marriage Is early and easy and divorce
simple and frequent.
About 80 per cent. of all Arabs live
in towns, villages, or other fixed places
Of abode and belong to the "Hadr''
class. In this group is found the aris-
tocracy of Arabia. Here are old, repu-
table families, with records of births,
deaths and marriages, deeds and
honors, running back through genera
tions.
Perhaps the most noted family in
modern Arabia is the house of Koreysh,
tracing it's connections back to the
prophet. The men of this family bear
the title of Shereef of Seyd; and 1t was
the Shereef Of Mecca Tho led Arabia s
break for statehood.
Education, however, as we regard it
in America, Is almost unknown among
Arabians. The few with culture are
class to themselves. Most learning is
confined to the classics of religious
and secular. literature; the Korean is
learned by rote. In the smaller towns
there are no schools at all
Yet it was Arab learning and skill,
in the long ago, which started the
civilized world on the way to its pre-
sent high efficiency. Under the caliohs,
schools Of therapeutics were set up at
Bagdad, and botany was studied as a
branch OF medicine. AS one writer
says, "the principal mercurial and
arsenical preparations of the materia
medica, the sulphates of several metals,
the properties of acids and alkalis, and
the distillation Of alcohol were, with
their practical application, known to
Err Razi and Geber, professors of Bag
dad. In fact the numerous terms
borrowed from the Arabic language
alcohol alkali, alembic and others
with the signs of drugs and the like
still in use among modern apothe-
carries, show how deeply science is in
debted to Arab research"
All of which leads the Christian
world to believe that Arab per pie, as
nation can come back."-Frederick
Simpich in the National Geographic
Magazine.

LOOK OUT FOR
FLORDA'S GOOD NAME
(St. Augustine Record.)

No one can think of name bad
enough to characterize the men who
are taking advantage of our soldiers,
sailors and marines who are being
released from service. They have re-
turned from fighting our battles; they
gave up good positions to do the ma
tons work they were called upon to
perform, risking disease. wounds, and
even death itself in order to do what
they conceived to be their duty. And
yet there are sharks waiting on the
street corners of New York endeav-
oring to inveigle the men into all
sorts of fake schemes that will! sep
arate. them from what little money
they possess.
One of the latest schemes disclosed
is that by which would-be agents dis
tribute alluring literature advertising
Florida farm-lands, purporting to be
ir Putnam and Clay counties, and
then endeavoring to make sales
among the returned military and ma
val men. To the initiated who have
Rad experience with fake land
schemes in many states, the whole
project savors Of fraud, and the New
York authorities having taken hold
of the matter, Investigations will be
pushed.
Florida can i'll afford the bad repute
into which any deal such as that cited
above would bring her. Questionable
land projects are being floated here,
there and yonder from time to time,
and Florida in common with other
states, where development has been
rapid, has had her share. Some
people feel that those who will
purchase sight unseen deserve to lose
but that is scarcely the way to lool
at the mater, and, when 1t affects ou1
service men, this theory is an especi
ally cruel and heartless one.
