Marriage In the Orient
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

nECENTLY thousands Of Arab sheks on beautiful

Mulai Youssef Sultan of Morocco the daughter of 81
Glaow powerful lord of the Atlas district The festivities
began at sunrise day and lasted ali week.
There were 100000 francs Of wedding presents
Altogether everybody had glorious time except the bride
This lady had the bridegroom and he had never
looked upon her. Her veil removed until the wedding
evening Neither she consulted in the choice Of her hus
band. 1t in love match Ell Glaowi simply
produced enough gold and jewels induce the Sultan to
permit his marry the girl The girl passed into
his hands Like any other piece of property.
The whole business carried the ancient and
venerable theory not say honorable that woman but
piece of mans property and he dispose of her as he
wishes When she married she simply ceases to be the
property of her father and becomes the property of her
husband.
According to the Mohammedan religion she is hardly
person. she does not soul She created for
mans delight, and this is mans world.
This theory to hold considerable extent
among civilized people, and the struggle of woman to win
her way toward personality and she peases with
herself her body and soul, is slow.
In most of the civilized countries she has attained citizen
ship but there stretches this earth where she
is still little better than thing.
The question is whether her being mere chattel is hood

come to see her, whether these
friends be ladies or gentlemen.

SAVING NATURE

THERE is, call upon the
il United States Government to
set aside parts of the forests
included in the national parks as
reservations" to be kept in their
natural condition for scientific
purposes and for exemplifylng the
different types If forest In their
most perfect development.
This means in their most perfect
natural development. The idea is
not to train them scientifically but
to leave them just az nature makes
them under her. own undisturbed
conditions. The lessons learned
from nature would be turned to
practice elsewhere than on the
ground where she was left to her
own ways and resources.
Although the scientific love Of
nature may be differentiated from
the ordinary love OF nature, yet at
bottom they are Identical. The
principal difference is that the
scientist finds his pleasure in de.
tails that escape tho layman, or
are individually disregarded by
him. You can tell q true lover Of
nature the same way you can ten

the day. The time may perhaps
come when natural science win
make a close alliance with COM
mercialism, as chemical research
is now doing; but at present science
wants to keep her skirts clear
OF the sightseeing public on the
one side and of the log and fuel
cutters on the other.
Advocates Mean Well
The advocates Of the proposed
reservations for scientific men
and nature lovers" mean well in
thus coupling those two types, but
many nature lovers, such as was
Henry d. Thoreau, might not feel
themselves quite at ease inside the
bars. Thoreau would occasionally
make a passing bow to scientific
Technology by using some jaw
breaking catalogue name for a
striking flower, shrub or tree met
in the Maine woods, but he always
gave the native or popular name
first, besides seeing the object
through eyes alight with philoso-
ply and romance.
Any resort or park where crowds
go must be carefully guarded. that
we all know; but / do not believe
that the visitors to the national
parks are any worse in behavior
than average civilized humans,
while, on the other hand, we must
remember that what they get there
Is an immense inspiration in love
Of country and in knowledge and
appreciation OF nature, worth all
that it may cost the Government.
At the same time should like
to see scientists get their wish, too,
for 1t does not seem unreasonable.
