The opinion has been advanced that
The impression below the Mason

tiated.
Although not generally known,
Ruth had one near encounter with a

stood for the name through several

finally his composure slipped away
and he erawled into the stand after

Ne trouble resulted from Ruth's
visit to the stand, because Ernie

from the Jacksonville Incident
whether Ruth will be accorded a

did not increase Ruth's popularity
when he publicly declared he let

FAME \ FOR ITS
SHRINES AND CIGARETTES

symmetrical symbol OF lasting
strength has long served as the seal
of the American university at Beirut.
But the cedars of Lebanon are not
unappreciated by the people OF the
mountains. They call them The
Cedars of the Lord.
Some scholars believe that the
picturesque sides of lofty Lebanon
were once clothed in these majestic
trees and give as reason the fact
that Solomon obtained ofrom Hiram
Of Tyre great RATS Of this time-de-
fying timber for the famous temple
at Jerusalem. Others cite this as a
reason for believing that never have
there been many of these kingly
trees and that their rarity as much
as their rotreslsting qualities made
them desirable 10 the king who could
scour the known world for tho best
temple material.
However That may be, the main
group OF true cedars now contains
aHly about four hundred of these
trees. dumped in what from dis
lance OF several miles appears to be
a dark green hassock thrown aga
INST the tawny mountains. Yet
these trees. four hundred of which
look like q single Tea shrub If one
sees them from the Kadisha valley
or the distant mountain pass, are
really eighty to a hundred feet in
height and doubtless many of them
are Two thousand Years OF age. Only
the dcodars OF the Himalayas and
the Scquoias of California surpass
them in age and dignity.
The Lebanon had its own gov
eminent with a Christian mutesarrif
and a special constitution dating
from 1851, following the Druze-Mar-
onite disorders OF the year before.
But in 1916 all special privileges
were abolished by the Porte. The
Lebanon gendarmerie wore a pictur
esque uniform in the Zouaye style
with yoluminous trousers of dark
blue pipe dwith red and with tight
jackets and trim leggings.
The grapes and cigarette tobac-
co of the Lebanon have long been
famous. But possibly this long
mountain range. which has given its
name to the political region has new
er done a greater service to mankind
than when it drove the Phoenician
traders to the western sea and gave
sea-borne commerce and, perhaps,
the alphabet 70 the world"

skin.tight garb, dance frantlcally
round the figure of a woman stretched
on the ground.
This is to teach the bride what will
happen to her II she seeks atlinitieS or
does not conduct herself with proper
decorum towards her husbands moth

does not conduct herself with proper
