until the following April. The great, advantages which Egypt derives from the annual rise of the river and saving the country from barrenness has caus- ed the Nile to be known by the inhab- itants as the most holy river, they be- lieving that it draws it's source from Paradise. In former days, it had it's appointed priests, festivals and sacri- fees, and if it's rising were delayed by single day they took the most beautiful maiden they could find, and dressing her richly drowned her in the waters as victim to turn away the gods anger and merit his favors. The caliphs abolished this cruel sac rifice, substituting one less barbarous. They threw into the river letter in which it was commanded that the waters rise if it were the will of God. It has been stated that the quality of the Nile water is such that it is high ly eXtolled for drinking purposes and no matter how long kept it does not become impure.

LINK FOLLOWING "AARD
 LUCK" RALPH DE PALMA

The jinx that has dogged the steps of Hard Luck" Ralph De Palma, the most popular racing driver in the 1 United States, again rode at his side in the 800 mile international sweep stakes at Indianapolis, Memorial Day. turning certain victory into defeat and placing the laural wreath upon the brow of Gaston Chevrolet in his green Monroe.
 After getting off to a poor start because he was left at the post while making final adjustments, De Palma sent his speedy equipped Ballot around the brick oval at light ming speed in stern chase after the l flying Joe Boyer, who was two laps ahead in his fast Monroe. A glad shout arose from 125,000 throats as the daring Italian took the lead at the 105th lap. At the 467th mile, victory was within his grasp and his car was running with the smooth hum of per lection. Other cars swept by in the fruitless chase to make up the two laps held by the flying Italian. Came the time for De Palma to flash by on his 46Sth mile-but the cream-colored Ballot was not in sight. Suddenly the whispered rumor, "De Palma off the track on the north turn" ran lightning-like through the stands. Every eye in the record breaking crowd flashed toward the turn, where De Palma sat with grim smile in car exhausted of gasoline.
 While thousands cheered to the echo, little Johnny De Paolo, De Palma's nephew and mechanician, ran the mile to the pits, grabbed a can of i gasoline and tore to the fuel-less car.
 Soon again the hum of the Ballots powerful motor, and Ralph swept by to the cheers of thousands who were pulling hard for him to win. For the second time De Palma's jinx raised it's ugly head on the next lap, the heated Ballot caught fire. Pluckily driver and mechanician extinguished the flames and limped into fifth place at the finish. As De Palma crossed the finish he was given an ovation. Only his grim smile told of his disappoint- ment, but his plucky uphill fight and gameness in defeat made him greater in losing than he would have been in victory.
 Gaston Chevrolet drove consistent and plucky race, refusing relief until he had catapulted his car across the finish in five hours, forty minutes, six teen and fourteen hundredths sec onds Ean average of 8816 miles an hour.
 In the meantime Tommy Milton and his team-mate, Jimmy Murphy, win ner of the Beverly Hills race, in his Dusenberg on Goodyears, had been driving consistently and finished in the money. Five of the six cars with Dusenberg motors were placed.
 Rene Thomas in a Ballot finished second, Speed King Tommy Milton in his Dusenberg was third, Jimmy Mur- phys Dusenberg ran fourth, Ralph De Palma's Ballot fifth, Eddie Hearne's Dusenberg sixth, Jean Chas- sagne's Ballot seventh, Joe Thomas Monroe eighth, Ralph Mulford's Null ford Special ninth and Tom Alleys Revere tenth.
