MOHANIN1EDANs OBSERVE LENT
Fast of Ramadan is Followed by
Feast of Beiram.

As the Mohammedan year is a
lunar one, the months rotate through
the different seasons, and the fast
of Ramadan becomes severe att1lc-
ton upon the faithful when the
month happens to fall in the hot
DAYS of summer The fast is follow
ed by the feast of Beiram, which
was established by Mohammed, who
seems to have been guided by the
Christian institution of Lent, which
in the early church varied from four
to six weeks. On this day every
family of the true believers offers
a sheep to God, and the streets of
the cities are filled with men carry
ing the destined victims on their
backs.
Among the Arabs the festival be-
gins at O'Clock in the morning,
when great crowds collect at the resi-
dence of the nearest pasha or bey,
awaiting his appearance in the court
of the palace. At 5 o'clock his high
ness enters, accompanied by men,
bers of his family and his staff; can
non are fired, the peculiar bands OF
the East play suitable airs and the
chief captain announces that the hour
of sacrifice has arrived, and that MS
highness, after prayer, will be pres
ent at this act. All then adjourn to
the mosque, and when the sacrlflce
is over the pasha reenters the court
and those of high rank kiss MS
hand; the interiors slightly touch
ing it with their lips. This occupies
abotu an hour, when all retire to
take coffee, the captain thanking the
crowd for their presence as mark
of attachment to their ruler.

WHAT 1T is AND IS NOT.
A Writer of the 37th Division Tells
of DugOutS.

Dugouts are not dug out. They arr
dug in. The only ones who ever dug
out of a dugout were the Germans,
who dug out as soon as they saw the
37th Division stepping "Over the
Top" Dugouts remind one of home
because they are so different. To
enter a dugout one must step forward
in the dark and fall gracefully down
the steps. A candle, several large
families of rats, water seeping
through the roof and a gas-alarm
bell are the usual furnishings of the
modern dugout.
Dugouts must be pumped out every
day for tear of drowning the sold
iers who are in them if the water is
allowed to stand. Now that the war
is over there are many thousand dug
outs for rent in France and Belgium.
But like the hole in the dugout, no
one wants them.
All cugouts smell like fertilizer
factories. Some are deeper than 9TH
ers. The deeper the better. 1t is
impossible to take one home for a
souvenir. Your girl will ask for one
anyway, but don't let that worry you.
Give her a picture of yourself with
your mouth open. She won't know
the difference.
Dugouts are usually inhabited by
officers. They are accustomed to
them. There is no money in build
ing dugouts, but they are worth a
million dollars when you need EN-.
One can catch hell and pneumonia
in any dugout. You catch the former
first and the latter afterward.-La-
dies Home Journal.

Bryan's Eloquence.

IS William Jennings Bryan was ad-
dressing a political meeting in Iowa
on the occasion when, it is said, ne
fairly carried away his audience by
the power of his oratory. Among
those most impressed by the Nebras-
hAnSseffort was man known to be
very deaf, but who nevertheless SEEM
ed to be listening with breathless at
tention to Bryan, and who apparent
iA siiy caught every word that fell from
the speakers lips.
Finally, when a particularly fervld
passage had been delivered by the
man from Nebraska, with the effect
of eliciting a storm of applause from
the audience, the deaf man, as If he
could contain himself no longer yell
ed in the ear of the man next to him:
"Who is that speakin'?'
civilian Jennings Bryan!' shout
ed the man addressed.
"Who?" roared the deaf man, still
louder.
= civilian Jennings Bryan, of Ne
braska!"
tWell. WE'LL" exclaimed the deaf
man, excitedly.

san. / can't make out a word he or

GOOD ROADS SAVE MUCH IN GAS.
Trucks Use Twice As Much Fuel Or
Dirt Highways, Test Shows.

That good roads cut the cost of
gasoline more than so per cent. is
stated by Freight Transportation
Digest" A loaded two ton truck
was used in a test and in running
100 miles on an earth road consumed
17.3 gallons of gasoline, making an
average of 5.7S miles gallon. The
cost figured at rs cents gallon was
s4.33. The same truck was used on
a concrete road and Travelled the
same distance on $40 gallons of
gasoline. The cost in this case,
figured on the same basis, was s2.l2.
The net savings in cost of gasoline
on the improved highway was there
fore 1921 or more than 100 per
cent.

 In the cities. people are complaining about the high cost of foodstuffs In the country thousands of bushels of vegetables and fruits are going to waste, rotting in the fields. How can this sit uation be remeded? Very simply. Build good roads and then farmers will buy trucks in which to take their products to market. The increased supply will naturally result in lowered prices.

Believe it or not, but this is true. Up in New Brunswick, moose are so thick in the forests this fall that automobile traffic is being impeded. A motorist who recently went through the woods reported that he collided with one moose and was stopped by four others. The headlights dazed the animals and the motorist had difficulty chasing them off the road.

SCHOOL CONDITIONS
ARE SERIOUS.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-American
public schools opening for the new
year face conditions that are most
serious, Philander P. Claxton, COM
missioner of education said today.
Among the conditions he enumerated
are:
Lack of accommodation for 3,OOO,-
900 of the army of children entering
the city schools
Shortage Of $4,000. adequately
trained elementary teachers for both
rural and city schools.
Shortage of $4,000 adequately
trained elementary teachers for both
rural and city schools.
Shortage of $4,000 adequately pre-
pared city and rural high school
teachers.
Shortage of $4,000 school rooms,
which at the present building prices
it would cost $4,000, OOO, 900 to con-
struct
The fact that from one-third to
two-fifths of the American teachers
lack adequate preparation.
1t will take minimum of three or
four years to relieve the school room
shortage.
This is due to hating of building
during the war, and the difficulty of
floating school bond issues.
