Poverty is the rule among the
kurds; their mountain fastnesseS are
difficult OF access and they themselves
are strong and hardy by reason of
their life of eXertion. The people OF
the neighboring fertile lowlands, on
the other hand. are relatively we'll
to-do and are also comparatively un-
protected and averSe to war. Al
these factors combiiIe to make tn"
Kurds race Of plunderers. NO
race says the famous geographer
Reclus, neither Baluch, Bedouin nor
Apache, has developed the marauding
instinct TO a higher degree than have
the warlike kurd tribes
Whether living in Turkey, Persia
or the new state of Iraq, the Kurds
are Mohammedans. But they are not
AS serious or fanaticai in religious
matters as the Arabs and the Turks.
Nonlinally they belong to the Shiall
sect Of Mohammedans. Some of
them, however, are very cosmopoli-
tan in their religious observance
and when away from home readily
join in prayers in either Shah or
Sunni mosque. They have even beer
known, when in Armenian village,
to join in the Christian service Vf
the Armenian church, kneeling and
bowling with the congre cation"

Signal Corps Of the Army.
Often a mother. with but a slender
clue to where her son was killed in
combat. beseeches the Signal Corps
section for photograph OF the scene
OF the engagement or incidents sur

chances Of granting her request are Of
the best, for the Army has stored away
100000 photographs Of the war. They
are cross-fndexed and readily accessible
and the pictures are sold at cost to
those that desire them.
The original negative of photo
graphs and of motion picture films
are retained in fireproof vaults at
Washington barracks. Only dupli-
Gates from these are utilized The
films are sent out and shown in diff

areas, and IN Hawaii. Twenty four
enlisted men of the signal corps are
assigned to Photographic duties

The Tuberculosis Association will

DR.. George NJ. Ko6er. president
OF the association, pointed out last
night that at a fixed price of 1 cent,
no less than 100000 Christmas seals,
or health tokens" must be sold in
Washington in order to assure the
effective continuance and expansion

Proof of Effectiveness.
The best proof Of the effectiveness
OF these new health policies rests in
the steady decline in the death rate
from tuberculosis in the past two
decades. This decline has been such
that the saving OF lives last year was
724 as compared with the year 1900

Kurds Reach Great Ages, Due
To Strenuous Life in Rugged Hills
Are Half Cousins Of Europeans, Half Villagers
and Half Nomads, Who Haze Long
Traditions in Warfare

Europeans and Americans, strong

SLAMS and the Armenians. In addi-
ton to the plateau region near the
source of the Tigris and Euphrates,
their homeland includes the Zagros
Noun tains, which run southeastward
from Lake Van to the Persian Gulf
and form the boundary between
Turkey and Persia
Are Half Nomads.
Although most Of the Kurds pos
sesS villages, composed Of clusters Of
low. fat-roofed houses of stone or
mud, all the tribes are more or less
nomadic. The majority live in dark
brown, many-peaked tents of goats
hair during the Summer, not wander
ing far from home, but merely going
up into the high mountains, where it
is too cold and snowy to dwell in
Winter.
"A considerable number, however,
live purely nomadic life, wandering
hundreds of miles along regular
routes between the warm plains of
Mcsopotamia in Winter and the cool,
grassy uplands in Summer. Among
the pure nomads society is organized
upon d alf-patriaTchal system, while
the semi-nomadic kurds are either
divided into tribes or clans, like
those of medieval Scotland, or are
ruled by feudai lords, whose power is
often absolute.

MAY LIMIT WORLD
STEEL PRODUCTION
French and Germans Favor
Seeking U. S. and British
Cooperation in Plan. .

Ev Cable 10 The Star and New York World.
PARIS. November 2a.-International
agreements to limit the worlds pro-
duction of steel are being discussed
by French and German metallurgists,
who are trying to work out the basis
for ii F'ranco-Gerlnan commercial
treaty. Unable to come to terms on
reciprocal tariffs for steel products.
they are considering seriously the
possibilities of limited production, not
only among themselves but including,
if possible. the two other steel ex-
porting nations, England and' the
United States.
Agreement to Indemnify.
Approaching the discussion from
the vantage point of the new and ex-
cessirely high tariffs, which both
Germans and French propose to estab-
lisb, they found it impossible to ar
rive at terms acceptable to both in
relation to the crude steel manufac-
turers, whose agreement to indemnity
each other, regardless OF the tariffs, is
the basis for what progress has been
made towards the treaty.
The discussion developed that the
Germans now are organized for steel
production on such a large scale that
only % per cent can be absorbed In
Germany. The French steel industry
has grown until only so per cent can
be sold in France.
1t is agreed that If German and
French steel mills produced at full
capacity, they alone could stock the
foreign steel market, leaving little
room for British and American manu-
facturers, and leading inevita bly, to
ruinous competition. Realizing the
repercussion this would have on both
countries, adherentS of an amicable
agreement, who are strong in both
German and French delegations, have
advised coming to an agreement for
limitation of production.
Suggested at League Session.
This is the first practical discus
sion of a suggestion made in the
assembly of the League OF Nations
by Paul Boncour. who pointed out
the necessity for international action
on production.
Steel men who discussed the sub
ject this morning in the offices OF the
minister of commerce remarked IL
was desirable to prevent ovsrp-o-
duction, by international agreement.
partly to prevent ruinous competl-
tion and partly to remove temptation
to turn over-production into cannon
and battleships.

great deal of cotton is already grown

general Improvement in the health
habits Of our people, and especially

II Is TO this building of health for

chlidren and their parents, aiding the
open window classes and the special
schools for tuberculosis children and
the occupational thcrapy work at the
tuberculosis Hospital. One of these
new objectiHeS is the establishment o /

vide funds for the permanent sana-
torium needed
Industrial Service.
THE other new policy toward which
the association has now turned its
attention is what is known as in
dustrial service fpr adult work ers
in stores. Offices and factories. While
Washington is not in the usual sense
OF the term an industrial city, the
great bulk Of our people are workers
OF one sort or another, spending the
greater part of their daytime hours
indoors and often under conditions
not at all conducive to their well be
ing. 1t is our hope that by various
forms Of friendly corporation with
employers and with the heads of Gov
ernment departments educational
work can he done that will lead
thousands Of these workers to have
regular physical examinations of
their own accord, looking toward the
discovery and correction of minor de-
teCts in time to prevent or greatly
delay the advance of disability or
disease. Already some steps have
been taken along this line by the
distribution of health posters and
pamphlets among store employees and
Office workers.
But in order to do these new things
and to carry on our present lines of
work the budget indicates the need
of at least $4,000 during the coming
year, most of which must be raised
by the sale Of our Christmas seals
at one penny each. Let every one buy
seals and thereby help In this work
of health building"
