World Loves Sweet Smells.

War d~isc0urages the International
sale of perfumes, cosmetics and all
toilet preparations, but such articles
come quickly back to their own in for
cign trade. This appears in the fact that
in 1920 exports of these articles from
this country were valued at SIS, 139, 593,
which is over five times the value in
the pre-war year Of 1914. Our largest
buyer was England our next, Cuba /;
third, Australia; and fourth Brazil.

Mountaineers Of Senegal.

French administrators have earned
the gratitude OF the large and intluen-
tial trading class in Africa by breaking
up ~brigandage and policing the cara
van routes. The MoSlems are all
grateful because Of the French policy,
which has insured privacy 20 the
mosques and harems and has permit
ted them to continue their schools and
colleges, and in some cases has e
subsidized such institutions.
But though France has permitted
MOslem schools to be carried ON, she
has not left all schooling to the Mo-
hammedans. Public schools have been
established in Senegal and elsewhere
In the West African possessions, in
which children of the various races,
tribes and religions are taught in
French. At present these schools reach
only a few thousand children in Sene-
gal, but the system is being extended
as rapidly rs possible.
Excellent roads have been built by
the French in Senegal, connecting the
various towns and experimenting the
river and rail routes to the sea coast.
Dakar, which is situated under the
lee Of Cape Verde, the westernmoSt
point Of land in Africa, is the best port
on the whole west coast, and almost
the only port on that coast at which
ocean-going vessels can tie up along
side a quay protected from the surf.
AS a result, the commerce Of the port
is heavy, and the trade route TO the
east starting there is used to distribute
and collect supplies to and from ex-
tensive regions in the interior. Dakar
is the seat of administration for all
French West Africa and has a larger
European population (about 10000
than any other town in Senegal or the
neighboring countries.

Wise Methods of Administration.

In administering Senegal, as indeed
In administering all her African pos
sessions, France has depended on tact
rather than on force. Her officials o
only recognize native chiefs, but also
treat them with consideration. The
greatest OF the rulers are presented
with valuable gifts, which emphasize
the wealth and power of France, ana
some OF the leaders are taken to Paris

No Place for White Men.

Senegal is not Il white mans coun-
try" Because of its climatic cOndi-
tons it is unhealthful for Europeans
and probably always will be. The
French recognize this and have made
no efforts to COLOMBO the The
European population is made up almost
entirely of administrators OF various
kinds, and traders. This situation has
made necessary the French plan OF
organizing the country largely on the
basis OF native states under protec.
ton.
Although cattle-raising on the grassy
plains of the upper Senegal has long
been the chief industry, agriculture
has attained a place Of greater impor-
lance in recent years. The principal
article of export is the peanut, and
considerable amounts Of other oil
seeds, oils, hides, rubber, timber and
cocoa also are sent out. Senegal ships
large quantities Of kola or cola nuts.
throughout western Africa, and even
in the more remote parts of the cont.
nent, because Of their stimulating
qualities.
Cotton grows wild and its produc-
ton might be made into an important
Senegalese industry but for the habits
of the natives. They are unwilling to
engage In the cultivation Of a crop
which requires considerable Ste9dv
work and a relatively long wait for
maturity. They prefer to raise such
crops as peanuts and millet which re-
1uire little attention between planting
and harvest.
While there are q few tribes of ma
tives in the outlying portions Of Sene-
gal whose members practice fetish
W arship, the great majority of the IN
haritantS Of the country profess
Mohammedanism. This religion was
introduced both by the Berbers or
"MoOrs" from the north and by near
~ pure negroes who came from the
West about the Thirteenth century
and set up the powerful s~ultanate Of
Timbuctu. Some of the tribes of Sene-
gal ne apparently staunch Moham-
medans, bat others are only nominal
followers of the Prophet, preserving
their superstitionS and pagan prac-
tees much as nominal Christians con-
tinued TO hold to such superstitions ip
Europe during the Dark Ages.
