pointed to fairly considerable in
crease in business through the fall

1t was the splendid showing of the
railroads which continued the main

to car loadings indicated that the
gains recorded in July will be added
to for the current month.
Foreign exchange turned strong

WORSHIP THE DEVIL.


ave missed the village where we
were to replenish our supplies, and
we nearly died of thirst. for our water
had to go in the car. For "a hours l
had nothing more to eat than six acid
drops.
ave then came in sight of the few
mud villages where the Yizie live, at
the foot of the hills of Kurdistan.
They worship the devil, on the ground
that he is stronger than God.
"They think they will not get to
heaven until 6000 years hence, when
the devil returns there himself. II,
however, they do four times more good
than evil on earth, they think they
will get to heaven.
Their clothes are all red, in honor
of Satan, and they ban all blue, which
generally in the East is supposed to
keep off the evil eye. They have weird
Superstitions about i'll luck. You must
never mention the name of the devil,
or make any sound that resembles it.
You must never refer to or eat fish,
because the devil is supposed to live
in the water.
with the exception of the priest
hood, no one is allowed to read or
write. In former times the punish
ment was death. The devil worship
pers are wonderfully moral. If hus-
band is unfaithful even his relatives
will condemn him to death"
Lady Dorothy also came across the
few remaining Samaritans, the des-
cendants of those mentioned in the
New Testament. There are only about
eight of them, and they have the an
pearance of dead men. Their faces are
like parchment and they seem devoid
of all energy.
"Love in the Asiatic countries is as
primitive as that in Africa Lady
Dorothy confided. There is nothing
in it to attract the highbred women
of highly civilized countries. Just as
1 made the acquaintance Of cayemen
and their habits, so / have studied the
inhabitants OF the Syrian Desert, per
haps as the first white women to call
upon them.
II was intensely interested, of
course, but if the girls of today had
seen what / have seen they would
not insult our nice men by designating
them with the appellstion of 'shiek.'
The books Lady Dorothy has hither-
to published are Gard House" and
Laughter of Fools" In each she
asserts her ambition was to present
things that no one had ever heard
before-some thing she herself had
never read, and just such story is
her aim in revealing in detail the mar
rative of her trip to Syria.
Officials have always tried 10 pre-
vent me from making these trils,
she said. But persistence has al
ways triumphed over red tape. have
returned much the wiser, and per-
haps will live to explore other hnes.

CHASED ACROSS
. DESERT SANDS
BY bR|GANDS

FOLKESTONE. Eng, Aug. 20. -
Lady Dorothy Mills, whose adventures
among the "cave men" Of Africa
brought her worldwide recognition,
has Just returned from Syria, land Of
sheiks, where she invaded the haunts
Of the devil worshippers and was
chased across trackless sands by bril-
gands. Her adventures, it is claimed,
contain more thrills than those of any
living woman. A band of Bedouins
we're her only companions on her latest
explorations.
Lady Dorothy, whose mother was
Miss Louise Corbin of New York, says
she was inspired to visit Syria by the
success Of her two ventures in At
RIGA, each of which she followed By
writing a novel.
She declares that the story, based
on her actual experiences in Asia, will
far eclipse the two based on her visits
with the cave-dwellers.
BEWARE OF SHEIkS.s
Lady Dorothy says she thought it
probable that she might find in Syria
a counterpart of the cave-dwellers Of
Africa, but in this she had been dis
appointed.
"As warned .flappers' on my re-
turn from Africa that they are gasp.
ing at an illusory dream, so 1 have
a message for them now The 'sheik
Of Asia is no more worthy Of recog-
milton than the caseman, so far as
girls of civilized countries are con-
cerned.
Il started across the Syrian desert,
for the borders of Kurdistan," says
Lady Dorothy, "to see the home Of tbs
Yizie, n MISUNDERSTANDING community.
To get there we had TO go through
Irak, which at present is forbidden.
II was determined to get there, how
ever, and so had to choose the worst
and most deserted path. hired
Ford car driven by an Arab chauf-
feur, and, with party of Bedouins,
set forth across the desert.
ave met our first adventure when
crossing the Euphrates.
I'VE hoisted the car onto a native
raft. There was very strong wind
the river was in full flood, and half
way across some of the Arabs fell off
and were drowned. Finally, we got
stuck on a sandbank and had to wade
through, pushing the car before Us.
Next day there was the worst
sandstone 1 can ever remember. We
lost all sense of direction, but we had
to keep going to escape being covered
with sand. The next day we came
across some Bedouins, who told us
that brigands were ahead, in a low
range Of hills.
ave had to push on, although we
were short, of food and water. We jam
med down the accelerator and went as
fast as we could across the sand.
The brigands fired at us from all sides,
but their bullets fell short, and we
escaped across the hills.
