Valuable Erienda

School children in all parts of the
country are proving valuable friends
to the song birds. Under the direc-
ton of the National Association Of
Audubon Societies, over three hum
dred thousand boys and girls have
been organized into groups for the
study and protection of birds. They
are furnishing free lunch counters in
winter, have made thousands of at
tractive bird homes and rented them
for songs.
Birds are just like people when it
comes to renting houses! There is no
accounting for tastes.
But, If you love bird music, you can
get a higher return on your money
more dividends in musical numbers
for building bird houses than in any
other way.-William and Irene Finley

food of the inhabitants as far back
as 1000 years. Today it is the chief
source of wealth.
Oil brought Ali Baba great riches
and oil seems destined to bring
wealth to his descendants. Its re-
cent discovery in Mosul brought
Mesopotamia into the public eye
and caused the great powers to
rush to get control of the region.
Competition for power in the Near
East had already reached critical
state at the outbreak Of the World
War when the Germans were push
ing through their BerHn-to-Bagdad
railway, and Mesopotamia figured
as q theatre Of international strife.
The War terminated the German
venture, but the process Of opening
up Mesopotamia was under way.
The finding of oil stimulated de-
velopment and operations were
undertaken to improve transporta-
ton facilities which were far from
adequate for the development of
natural resources.

Now a railroad connects Bagdad
with Basra. Basra, the "Balsora"
Of the Arabian Nights" lies on
the Shat-el-Arab river formed by
the junction OF the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers and is the ship

erh civilization has come to a halt
and ancient customs prevail. The
money-changer, the water-seller
with his goatskin supply tank, the
barber who shaves his customers
squatting in the street, all in quaint
oriental costume, ply their trades
as their ancestors did hundreds Of
years before. The old practice of
barter is still used, for there are no
fixed prices for wares. No transac.
ton is completed without a lot Of
haggling and the person with the
loudest voice and greatest persist
ence wins.
Travellers in Bagdad are often
surprised to see fine oriental rugs
lying in the streets where they are
trodden under the feet OF pedes-
TRANS and pack animals. What
they are secina is the inexpensive
process Of making new rugs look
like antiques which raises their
market value.
Bagdad has always been known
as a great rug market, but Meso-
potamia as a region Is known as
the land Of the date. Gardens have
been cultivated there for countless
centuries and known records prove

1t is no longer necessary to take

has been developed between Beirut
on the Mediterranean to Bagdad by
way of Damascus. American auto
mobiles have made it possible to
accomplish the herculean task OF
transporting passengers and mails
across 500 miles of desert on regu-
lar schedule-50O miles without hui
man habitation and only one spot
where water can be obtained II abb

service has brought Bagdad within
nine days of London and forty.eight
hours of Port Said, where formerly
Bagdad was thirty days from Lon
don. From Bagdad rail connections
are made with Basra and the Per-
sian border, for there are travellers
who want to see the date palms in
the Garden OF Eden while others
wish to get to northern India and
Persia.

Twice a month there IS an air.

Bagdad. From Amman, in Trans
Jordania, to Bagdad there is fur.
row ploughed in the floor OF the
desert by the Royal British Air
Force which serves to guide the
mail planes over the otherwise
trackless waste. BY using this aiB
service importers in the United
States can get mail through to
Basra in month where formerly
it took six weeks.
Transportation has opened up 10
tourists this region where once
flourished the pick Of the human
race. Everywhere are remains Of
a vanished glory, thousands Of
years old. The golden tombs and

there were no wide streets, so they
