Holy Moslems Burial
By Auto Transport

Beirut, Sept. 20-(A. P. by MaiD-
The bones OF pious Shah Moslsms.
whose relatives can afford to pay the
price, are now transported part OF
the way b. automobiles from Tehe-
ran, the Persian capital, to kerbela
il Mesopatamla, where every good
Shah wishes his bones to rest.
A local motor transport company
recently extended it's service between
here and Baghdad as far as Teheran.
The conveying OF bodies of Persians
from the capital 10 Baghdad for rail-
way transport to kerteia, about so
miles from Baghdad. is a profitable
side line In the companys business.
herbela has been a~place OF pill
grimage of the Shah MoSlems ever
since the seventh century when a
great tomb was erected 10 the mar
tyred Hoslan, son OF the fourth Ca
liph, slain by rivals soldiers. The
town owes Its existence to Husian' S
shrine, for tens of thousands of pill
srims go there annually, many of
them carrying the bones of their
relatives to be buried in its sacred
soil or bringing their sick and aged
to die there.
High cost of burial in kerbels is
beginning TO worry faithful Persians.
In addition to paying the mullahs,
who extract enormous fees for the
burial. they have to bear the trans
portation cost Of about $1,000 The
latter charge is said to be triflinS
compared with the fees eXacted for a
good burial site at Kerbela.

Jazz Furniture
IDeplOred by Artists

Chicago, Oct. 81 "a. P.)-Wi,h the
resources for obtaining beautiful and
harmonious things tenfold greater
than those possessed by Americas
forefathers. 1--WE nevertheless seem to
have lost their sense OF taste" Lionel
Robertson, prominent artist and
decorator, said in a recent lecture to
students at the Chicago Art insti-
tute.
The art Of living should have the
most vital appeal to our people, Mr..
Robertson asserted. while the beauty
in nature. wish to be surrounded
with harmonious things. to avoid the
shoddy and the glaring in homes and
in personal appearance. also was the
surest way to build worth while
character.
Beautiful things will enrich our
lives and give Us beautiful thoughts"
the speaker continued. Yet in our
homes. particularly the city. We find
all in one room limitations OF Oriental
rugs with pronounced seams, yellow
oak woodwork highly varnish ed.
ivory walls with no pattern, taupe
mohair-covered furniture. inverted
bowls with indirect light, leaving no
beautiful shadows, and stained glass
SHADES on the table lamps With
such conglomeration naturally goes
jazz music and the current theat-
rical revues.
The individual should exert his
own taste and not slavishly attempt
TO follow what Others are doing. The
nome furnishings should make for
atmosphere. Furniture in a room
need not necessarily all be in one
period. as it easily might become
monotonous. Chinese decorations
are extremely useful. for the Chinese
are the greatest decorators the world
has ever known"
