! ton Of mineral wealth from the ground,
/ 1raq is still predominantly an agricul-
; tural and pastoral country. This con-
dition is reflected in the exports and
imports. During the fiscal year 1929
the exports, including goods in transit,
amounted to about S40,000,000, while
the imports we're valued at approx
mately S54000.000. Dates, valued at
close to S6,000.000. led the list of eX-

Petroleum Fields Promising.
THE few industries carried on in
Iraq are on a small scale. The resi-
dents maintain factories for spinning
knitting, carpet making and shoe man
ufacture, copper smelling and flour
milling. It is only matter of time
however. until the country will have an
important place among the regions pro-
ducing and refining petroleum.
Two financially strong companies
have concessions to explore and develop
the Iraqan oil supplies, and both have
brought in producing wells within the
past two years. One of the companies
is operating refinery near Khanaqin.
gasoline needs of Iraq This refinery is
supplied by 25-mile pipe line from the
oil field at Naft Khava, almost on the
Iraq-Persian border.
The other oil corporation is develop
ing an area rs miles or more to the
north and a considerable distance in
land from the Persian frontier. This
company has found fair amounts of oil,
but has delayed exploiting them in the
hope that it will open up sufficiently
productive field to Justify the laying of
a pipe line across deserts and through
mountains to Mediterranean port.
The expenditure of large amounts of
money by the two oil companies and
their employment of numerous laborers
and technicians has been one of the
helpful factors in Iraqan economics in
recent years. When the oil fields are
brought to large-scale production, Iraq
will profit directly. as we'll as indirectly,
for the government will receive a sub
stantial royalty"

how much ultraviolet they have alb

OF course It Is purely theory that

a reasonable explanation.

the special glass does; a homemade win

Every household where there are
young children should have at least one
room equipped with such windows on
the sunniest side Of the house, where
the children can enjoy the benefits of

OF course the direct sunlight upon the
