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

In Algeria one Of the perplexing bib
lica puzzles of my childhood was set
at rest, writes Temple Manning In the
Chicago Journal. Until went there
l 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 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 II rained | won
dered why they ever did 1t.
Fortunately 1t seldom rains In AL
geria but that day II rained as
never saw II 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 a while |

dull splash.
The next morning waded through
the village to see what had happened,
and | 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
Allah" smiles the serene owner--"It

 Nothing more harmful to American agricultural interests has suggested than this proposal back from the machinery age to the old hand power horse drawn
 During the sixty years previous 1910 the Der of American farms had increased fourfold in the time the value of American farms had increased tenfod.

In the sixty-year period have men tioned the value of agricultural machinery increased eghtfod As the price of agricultural machinery fell rapidly during this period follows that the quantity of agricultural machinery increased far more than eightfold. Production per increased steadily the of machinery increased.
 There is surer way of committing suicide than for American farmers to follow President Towards advice and discard for horses. Logically it would follow that if horses should used because they consume grain it would be better go still further back and drive oxen, for yoke of do less work per day than team of horses, neces- sitating than horses, and thus increasing the need for grain. oxen, too, would demand man-power which in turn would increase the demand for human food, thus giving "a better market for the surplus" President Howard suggests.
 All this carried still farther would suggest the abandonment of all modern farm machinery going back the sickle and the hand thresher. 1y increasing the demand for power and the accompanying demand for food
 If other American industries accepted Towards advice and discarded machinery because machines do not wear shoes clothes or eat wheat, where would this country be ten years hence?
 It is true that tractors curtai grain consumption but it is also true they grain production. What true of tractors of all farm machinery it is all in the boat.

COST OF a4 ouNcEsl

4 pound and a half extra beef on a heavyweight doesn't mean anything.
 The same added heft on bantams means everything It meant still more to Jimmy Wilde when he gave away 15ib pounds to Pete Herman. He'd only calculated on giving Pete IA.
 Herman knocked the Pontypridd atom through the ropes three times in the 17th round of their London go.
 The fight was advertised as a ban tamweight championship fight over there. Over here it wasn't considered so because Pete lost his crown to Joe Lynch just before he got aboard the English bound ocean liner.
 So Wilde doesn't lose anything but q little prestige in this match.
 He isn't kicking about the 14 pounds extra he gave away. It's the little shaving of flesh that causes the holler
 So there you are. The extra pound and half may or may not have given Herman the needed power to knock the gallant Briton down three times.
 He might have hit just as hadd at 11S pounds as at 119h. But the chances are it did give him big ad- vantage
