Climatic Variations.

With latitude about that Of Da-
mascus, or of the Carolinas in the
United States, and a protecting wall
of mountains, the Vale of Kashmir
seldom has those extremes of heat
and cold which make the districts to
the north and to the south so uncom-
Portable at times. Flowers and trees of
many varieties grow in profusion.
Sometimes a sudden change in tenn
perature near by will result in snow
storm on the surrounding mountain
peaks, a vivid and interesting spec
tacle from the valley. In the winter
the mercury drops a little below
freezing. During the summer the
thermometer sometimes shows a
temperature of 105 degrees.
over the Jhelum are many large
bridges of wood, built ON piers of
crossed horizontal logs. What the
little chaletlike houses lack in arehi-
tectural elegance. they make up in
picturesqueness and in the spring
their sod-covered roofs blossom forth
with fresh green grass. delicate mauve
irises, and in some cases with gor-
geous scarlet Kashnir tulips.
Near the capital, and gracing the
shores of the lakes of the Jhelum,
are the beautiful summer gardens Of
many of the former rulers of the cOun-
try Some of them, such as the Shall
mar, where the Aryan youth sang of
the pale hands he loved are in ruins,
but nature has been kind and even In
ruins they possess a dreamy loneliness
that puts mans handiwork to shame.
On an autumn evening, when the ave
nues of Chenar trees are tinged with
gold and russell. when the lofty noun
tains behind them take on every shade
of blue and purple, and the long lines
of fountains sparkle in the rays of the
setting sun. it would be difficult to
find a match for them elsewhere
Kashmir, outside the vale, may be
considered as a series of terraces.
Above the narrow strip of plains in
Jammu lie the low hills traversed by
the old road. The first real terrace
lies inside range of mountains 5000
feet high and is temperate region

To the west lies Gilgit, even higher,
while in the extreme north is Hunza

Everest, the worlds highest peak.
Mount Goodwin Austen, one of these,
rises to height Of 28.25O feet.

the wrap is ten-inch band of sum-

which is given a flare at each side by
an inverted plat the depth of the

garment is a metal tissue brocaded in

HOLY LAND ARAB
EX.AUTO MECHANIC

An Arab, living In an old crusader
castle, who had helped to make auto.
mobiles in a Detroit factory-such was
one Of the incongruities Of the Holy
Land found by William H. Hall, Amer
lean educator, in his ramblings among
the strongholds Of the old Christian
knights. He described his travels last
night before members Of the National
Geographic Society in an address at
the Masonic Temple. The castle was
that Of Kalat el Hush, dominating a
pass in the mountains Of Lebanon. 1t
is the best preserved Of the old for
tresses and is now owned by an Arab
bey, whose retainers live in structures
along the ancient walls.
Others castles Of the crusaders de-
scribed and pictured by Prof. Hall
were along the seacoast. These were
built by the knights Templar, while
the mountain strongholds were erect
ed by the Hospitalers, the Knights Of
st. John.
The French mandate over Syria had
it's roots in the crusades, Prof. Hall
declared. The country has few re-
sources and no raw materials Of con.
sequence, nor does it dominate any
important trade route.

BALLET DESIGNER GIVEN
RIGHTS OF AUTHORSHIP
Has Same Control Over Work as
Writer or Dramatist, French
Court DEGREES.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 20.-The French
courts have upheld the rights OF the
designer Of a ballet as being just as
valid as an authors over his book or
a dramatist's over his play.
The question arose through an &C
ton brought by a mistress Of ballet,
Nine. Chasles of the State Conserva-
tory. who has produced ballets at the
opera and the Opera Comique. She
had been asked to give a ballet at an
entertainment and she arranged the
"Ballet Of the Three Sultanas," with
Nine, Olga SoutZo as premiere dan
seuse. She was greatly surprised,
she said, when Mile. Soutzo changed
the dance entirely from what had been
rehearsed, and she brought an action
for 10000 francs damages, as the bal.
let had been announced In the pro-
gram as arranged by her.
Mile. Soutzo pleaded that a first
dancer in a ballet had the right to
interpret dance as 1t appealed to
her and was not obliged to keep to
the exact steps laid down by the ballet
mistress. She offered to reproduce on
a table in the court the dance as she
gave it and as the ballet mistress had
directed, but the court ruled that
that was not necessary.
The Judgment handed down recog.
nized the rights Of ballet mistress and
author in principle by awarding her
one franc damages.

AMSTERDAM. Holland. March 20.

Churches. ordered Thursday by the
general synod of that body for his re-
fusal to conform to the synod's de-
mand that he recant "heretical views, >
has produced a situation hardly par
alleled in the church history of Hol'
land
The majority Of the councils and
CONGREGATIONS Of Park kerk and
Schinkel Kerk. with churches in
South Amsterdam. Mr.. Geelkerken
district, have taken stand solldly
behind the expelled pastor and are
1ointly defying the synod's edict de-
nosing the elders and deacons who
have declared their adhesion to the
Geelkerken cause.
The Rev. Mr.. Geelkerken's eXpul-
sion was the consequence OF ser
mon In which he cast doubt upon the
story of Eve and the serpent in the
Garden of Eden. He refused to sign
a declaration to the effect that the
Genesis story Of Eden was to be in
terpreted literally.
Both the South AmSterdam m
churches are being guarded each night
by shifts of volunteer church workers.
The Rev. Mr.. Geelkerken himself is
being protected by special body
guard. Last Sunday, when he preached
at the Schinkel Kerk. fully a score of
foot and mounted police armed with
revolvers surrounded the church to
maintain order while police and detec-
tives were scattered among the con-
gregation.
The fact that the Rev. Mr.. Geelker.
ken insisted on preaching Sunday in
spite of the synod having suspended
him for three months brought mat
ters to a climax and the synod sol
emnly expelled him from the ministry.

Only one other man ever has cir

meath the bow of his bobbing craft.
The trip occupied LAP days. and
Pidgeon reckoned it cost him only
$1,000. All other entries are on the

He had no previous knowledge OF
the places he was to visit, nor Of ocean
currents, storm lanes and typhoon
