DISASTER COMES WITH RAIN
Algerian Native Houses Are Built TO
Afford Shelter Only From
the Suns Rays.

In Algeria one of the perplexing bib
lical puzzles of my childhood was set
at rest, writes Temple Manning in the
Chicago Journal. Until / went there
| had never been able to figure out ex-
actly what was meant by the pass
age in the Bible that reads: How can
we make bricks, for we have no more
straw?"
But when I saw the Algerians make
bricks by incasing short straws in the
mud of the fields, patting the bricks
into shape and drying them in the
sun, the mystery was explained. And
then one day when 1t rained l won
dered why they ever did it.
Fortunately 1t seldom rains in AL
geria, but that day it rained as /
never saw 1t rain before or since. The
very heavens seemed to open and the
celestial reservoir to empty itself with
in a few hours. A veritable river
gathered in the streets and ran from
house to house throughout the little
village, and every once in while /
heard through the darkness of MONDAY
n dull splash.
The next morning I waded through
the village to see what had happened
and 1 found whole families camping
out on the highest ground, for their
houses had melted away. Rain comes
so seldom that the natives do not in
clude it in their scheme of life; they
build their houses for the sunny days
And when the rain comes their mud
brick houses, unless strongly white
washed, and they seldom are, fall
down and melt into mud heaps.
Then the whole family goes camp
ing until the house is rebuilt. 'Tu cha
Affair" smiles the serene owner-"I
is the will of God"

rraclna Movement Of Birds.

The desire to learn what become of
birds that flew south with the approach
of cold weather led Audubon, the great
American naturalist, to place silver
threads about the legs of a brood of
phoebes. The following spring he was
rewarded by having two of the birds
return to nest near the haunts where
they learned to fly.
This occurred early in the Nine
teenth century, and was the first
known case in America of bird band
ing. Since that time this means of
securing information on the move
ments and life history of migratory
birds has been used by many societies.

SATISFACTORY SERVICE
VENUS NEVER WITHOUT VEIL
ImpenetrabIe Cloud Mask EnVelops the
Planet and Allows No Glimpse of
Anything Beneath.

What makes the planet Venus so
silver-bright? Many a one has put
this question to himself, and must
have been unable to find satisfactory
answer, London Answers states.
But the answer is that we see the
silver lining of the cloud-mask which
covers the features of Venus, for, as
dazzling as this planet appears to us,
1t is enveloped in somber clouds that
never seem to break and afford us a
glimpse of what is below. At least there
is no real proof that the markings
which have been seen are on the plan
cts surface at all. Slow-moving
cloud masses would be liable to be
very deceptive and might well be mis-.
taken for something more solid.
The persistency of Venus vast
cioudenvelope is remarkable; 1t is
present year in and year out, reflect
ing the sunlight with mirrorlike bril-
ltdhcy. ~ +'
How Venus would appear without it
Is hard To say, as we have no knowl-
edge whatever of the real composition
of her globe.
All that can be said with any GER
rainty is that she would lose a large
share of her radiant beauty if this
light-refecting shell of clouds were re-
moved.
She might look like Mars or like
Mercury, and would certainly fail TO
bewitch mankind as she does now.
The true secret of her peerless
beauty, therefore, is her veil of clouds.

fact that there IL q serious scarcity
of labor on the farms and stranger
still that millions would rather starve
in town than to fare beautifully in
the country.
It isn't only the hard work that
makes many dread the country, they
will testify-it's the deadly monotony
Of il all, the "everyday's-the same"
existence.
This effort TO bring people back
from the cities, back home, isn't the
only thing the Salvation Army con-
templates thru its Home Service
Program, with the assistance Of Ad-
visory Boards IT, Re organized in
every community and composed Of
leading citizens. The Board will be
asked to investigate poverty, with
particular reference only to the cd
and infirm in that section; unemploy-
ment with reference only to depend
emit cases; Juvenile delinquencies and
contributory causes; missing persons,
boys and girls, men and women; IL
legitimacy-the number Of illegit-
innate births-disposition Of mother
and child.
In short, IL is explained by Brig
adler Herbert Roberts, Divisional
Commander Of the Salvation Army in
the Cincinnati district, the Army is
now essaying a task never before at.
tempted by a national organization:
it is endeavoring to carry its work
Of service, backed by forty Year, eI-
perience in handling social problems,
and its glorious record at the front
and at home during the World War,
to not only the very small town. but
to the farm itself. Brigadier Rob-
erts and his good wife believe that
the Army finishes its investigation
on a national scale and applies a cure,
or suggests one to the various Advis-
DRY Boards that the farmers worst
sore spot will disappear and his Prod
igal Sons and Daughters will come
home from the city to stay.
