Jerusalem and JericO in Palestine, but
TransjOrdania, across the Jordan
river, is a new and less familiar Arab
state" says a bulletin from the Ma
tiOnal Geographic society.
'STransjordania did not exist until
the league Of nations, about seven
years ago, decided to establish a state
east Of the Jordan. A correspondent
who visited the new state in 1923 de-
scribed its creation as an act Of the
Versailles pastrymakers, WHO, like so
many cooks, had some dough left over
after the mOlds were filed, and this
was n of the odd cookies
Dull, Dreary Desert.
"TransjOrdania is a desert. Shaped
like an ak head, with the blade
pointing southwark toward the Red
sea, the state lies on the northern
fringe Of the Arabian desert and in
cludes the eastern shores Of the Dead
sea. But much Of the region, particu-
larry that lying near the Jordan, is
steppe land, supporting some flocks
and occasional crops.
Many of the half million Inhabi-
tants are nOmads who wander about
the area, pitching their tents where
and as they please. This accounts
for the slow development of the re-
giOn. Even the ruler, his highness,
the Emir Abdullah Ibu Hussein, is
virtually a desert prince and nomad
chieftain. Until recently he held his
court not in a palatial palace, but
in a group of tents.
Amman, TransjOrdania's capital, is
about a fve-hOur automobile ride
across the hot and dusty plains Of
Jericho and through the sizzling val
ley Of the Jordan river. Amman, IN
der various names. has been the capt.
tai Of this area for ages. 1t was
called Rabbath Amman, chief city Of
the AmmOnites, almost from the days
Of Lot, from whom the Ammonites
are said to have sprung. In the

mo one visiting Transjordania to-
day would suspect, at first glance,
that this land was Once the center of
Greek and Roman prosperity. Greek
culture fOurished in the East after
Alexander's eastern conquest and dur
ing the reign Of Ptolemy Philadel-
plus. When PtOlemy took the reins
of government one of his first acts
was to build a magnificent acrOpolis
at Amman.
"The main street Of Amman winds
around a high hill upon which the
Greek citadel once stood. Hard by
are the ruins of a Roman theater and
the broken stone benches of a RO
man amphitheater which probably
seated 1000 spectators.
"Abdullah has cleared away the
debris from the ruins. Now the col
umns and stones are frequently LINED
with the village loungers and herds
Of goats browse among the ancien
foundations. Everywhere in Trans

DoWny the Woodpsckcr and Mrs. Downy had nested carly this year. IL vas an early spring The feather cd folk who had spent the winter in the Sunny South had returned early and some of these were already housekeeping, Downy and Mrs. Downy, not having been away, had chosen their home carly. l. was an old dead stump in the Green For est. They had looked that old stump over many times during the winter. It was just the kind Of stump that suited them.
 So when they had made up their minds that the cold weather was really over they had promptly set to work to cut out the niccSt, snug eest little home that ever was in that old stump. When the hole was finished they built no nest. All they did was 10 make little bed Of tiny chips and on this little bed of tiny chips, Mrs. Downy laid one egg, two eggs, three. eggs, four eggs, They were the dainticst of little white eggs. At first they would have looked pink 10 you, could you have looked at them. because the yolk could ha seen through the pearly white shell.
 My. how proud DoWny and Mrs. Downy were of those eggs. My dear" said Mr. Downy. I've have such an early start this year that 1it#g "

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BN DIR. MORRIS lIsHBEIN Editor Journal uf the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 "cia, the Health Magazine

After q food has been analyzed into its fundamental chemical con- stltucn'S, there still remain to be de- tcrmincd those mysterious ingredi~ nnts now called "vitamins," because they are apparently necessary 10 life and to suitable body growth.
 The only manner in which their presence may be determined is by actual test on growing animals. For this reason there have developed nutrition laboratories in which the effects of the vitamins are studied on white rats and on other animals Not one of the vitamins has as yet been isolated in a chemically pure state although the investigators arc busy at work on the subject.
 Nitamin A is also called fat sol uhle vitamin, because it was first disc covered in butter fat. then the fat of egg yolk. and finally in the fat Of cod liver oil. Ii is, of course, available in milk and in such leafy V gctables as spinach. water-Cress, lettuce, celery leaves and the tops of turnips, bccts and radiShcs. This vitamin is also abundant in livcr. kidneys and sWcetbreads, but not found 10 any extent in lean m ats or in the body fats of animals, such as tallow and lard.
 When the diet does not contain sufficient amount Of vitamin A, the person appears to have q lowered resistance 10 some infectious dis eases. IurthCrmo this vitamin seems 10 be definitely related to a disturbance of the eyes, which the scientists call an inflammation of the eye or oph:halmia, of dietary origin. l. has occurred in Den mark and Newfoundland and in other places when the diet was de- ficient in the foods that contain vitamin A.
 Apparently when the vitamin is absent from the dict the tear glar ds cease to produce the moisture which is necessary for keeping the eyes washed and preventing the Judgment of bacteria.
 Some Japanese investigators have found a definite relationship be- tween the y.Gt!nin A and the occur renee of gallstones and kidney stones. However, these obscrva- tions have not been confirmed on q sufficiently large scale to indicate any worth while method of prcvrn- ton or treatment in connection ri'h the Use of yltatnin A.
 It is particularly important that infants have this vitamin, which may be supplied to them through cod liver oil.

MORAL COLLAPSE

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-P)-Chinese
idols dating back to the remote past
and tablets symbolizing China's his
toric ancestral worship are being de-
stroyed in China as part of a national
ist campaign against religion similar
to that of soviet Russia, says DR.. N.
Bercovitz, Presbyterian missionary
doctor on the island of Hainan, China.
This anti-religious campaign, DR..
Bercovitz declares, is paralleled by a
movement among the youth of China
that respects neither it's ancient re-
ligions nor Christianity, but breaches
philosophy of materialism and "ab-
solute freedom for everyone in every
thing"
Writing from his station in China to
the Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions, DR., Bercowitz said that the anti
religious movement was directed by
the nationalist government in Canton,
which has for its avowed object the
destruction of spiritual things of all
kinds among the people.
Not only have idols, long venerated,
been destroyed, he wrote, but a gem
eral philosophy has been spread,
breaking down the old traditions and
respect for authority and substituting
unbridled freedom that has led to an
immortality and materialism undreamed
of in old China.
While recognizing the evils of idol
worship and expressing deep sympathy
with the legitimate and national as
pirations of the Chinese, DR.. Bercowitz
declared that this growth of contempt
for things spiritual was leading to
utter destruction"
students from the various govern
ment schools, headed by their teachers
and backed by armed soldiers, went
into every temple in Hoi How and
broke down all idols and ancestral
tablets" Dr. Bercowitz wrote. Idols
of wood were broken UP and burned
and idols of other materials were de-
stroyed. No resistance was possible
because the soldiers were behind the
students. The reason given for this
action was that the temples and an
cestral ahlls were of no use to anyone,
and so the buildings were taken over

Blizzard IN Wyoming
Adds A Third Victim
In Week 70 It's Toll

DENVER, Feb. / [P.-The blizzard
which swept Wyoming's wide opeis
spaces today added another life to
their toll of death when the knffe@
life winds claimed their third victim
within the last. week. All of those
who have perished in that time have
been men who have tried to reach
shelter during binding snowstorms.
The frozen body of A. M Shaffer,
travelling representative of the Dem
yer Union Stock Yards company, was
found today following a search by
scores of men on horses and sleds
which had lasted since early Monday.
when Shaffer's automobile was found
abandoned on the highway. He had
been missing since last Friday, when
the storm struck that district, piling
snow many feet deep and leaving
roads virtually impassab1e.
During the search for Shaffer, G.
A. Stallard, Salt Lake. City travelling
salesman, arrived in Denver and
added mis- story to the many which
had reached here of the storms ter
ror. He told how he and five. motor
parties including five children and
their parents, had battled through
the snow last Friday night to escape
the fate which Shaffer met.
In his battle with the snow and
wind Staliard's feet and hands were
frozen and when he arrived at Meds-
cine Bow with other survivors OF
the hazardous motor trip they were
packed in snow and ice and thawed
out.
