Now, Mrs. Smithers was a worker
In the church. Shad had sat in the
Smithers pew every Sunday with her
and her husband. His compliance with
their wishes had pleased them. The
long prayers and sermons, the sing
ing and incomprehensibie shouting had
generally given him a pain in the
head. Shad's sense of rectitude was
being slowly undermined by this or.
deal. Soon he would be willing to lie
to escape it.
That Sunday morning he told Mrs.
Smithers that he was going for walk
to see the country and to think up
things to write in letter. He would
not come home for dinner.

woman.

Hot Weather Pests

Certainly 1t doesn't take so many
TO be assured of breeding stock

prolific tendencies.
Warm weather also arouses the
activity of harmful bacteria. We
are thinking now of those that

for food. Careless handling OF
milk in warm weather is just as
certain to invite trouble as the GER
tainty that sunset will follow sun

clean utensils, and prompt cooling
prevent these bacteria from doing
their dirty work.

rigation canals taken from the Eu-
pirates can therefore be led across
the plain and the drainage allowed
to enter the Tigris. The Sumer-
ians and their successors discov-
cred this ideal situation scores of
centuries ago and constructed nu-
merous canals, developing the re-
gion into a fertile garden. Further
down stream the Euphrates drops
to a lower level, and the canal pro-
cedure was reversed. Everywhere
the country was gridironed with
canals.
"As succeeding generations devel-
oped skill in hydraulic engineering,
huge works were constructed. One
canal paralleling the Euphrates
from Hit to the Persian gulf was
$50 miles long. 1t was probably the
longest canal ever constructed. An

Washington.-The first steel high

The structure, which is one of the
most important current engineering
projects of the Near East, will be a

transport route that has grown up
since the World war, between Bag

Roads have been beaten out In
the sands along the Euphrates by
men and camels, horses and char

tional Geographic society bulletin.
Rigid bridges have played minor
part in this continuous traffic. Float
ing bridges have been strung across
at half dozen points; and at other
places ferries are operated.
"Only the Nile has so venerable
record as the Euphrates and its
companion river, the "Tigris," con-
tinues the bulletin; land even the
Nile is less rich in historic Incl
dent. The Euphrates has been the
boundary line of successive en-
pires; along it have surged battles
and invasions that have changed
world history; beside it have grown
some of the greatest cities that
ever existed. To its valley can be
traced the beginnings of many prac-
tices, arts and sciences that civ

What seems to me the most de-
lectable story | have heard in ages
is told me by Kathleen Caesar.
There was" says Miss Caesar, "a
young man of Greenwich Village
who really could write. He worked
hard enough to get together a few
thousand dollars, took that stake
TO Europe, and lost it almost as
fast as If he had played the mar
ket instead of the bOulevards. He
was a good fellow while he had it,
but when they shipped him home
his only assets were a first-class
hangover and a second-class berth
to sleep ii off.
While he had been away, the
procession had moved on and ii
looked as If he might be left stand
ing on the sidewalk. That is to
say, things were not so good, when
suddenly there was a fluttering
sound and into the young mans
life Topped an "angel." The IAN
gel" was a man who could write
large checks, which never bounced
back. but had a great desire to
write a book. His qualifications as
novelist were ambition and a
vague idea for a plot. He made
the young man proposition.
The Coolidge examiner., 1932-07-29

II have a great idea for book"
he said, "but | haven't time to give
to the actual labor of construction.
I'll get you an apartment, pay for
your meals, and furnish you with
plenty of tobacco and a reasonable
amount of liquor If you will do the
work. I'm giving you the plot. All
you have to do is the writing"
The young man finally agreed to
terms. He and his typewriter were
duly installed in a smart and COM
Portable apartment and the "angel"
came in every day to see that he
was not being gyped. AS matter
of fact, he was getting the full
worth of his money. AS has been
said. the young man really could
write and he got interested in his
Job. He turned and twisted the
idea the man had given him until
it was a real plot. The characters
began to breathe and grow. to live
and struggle. Even the angel"
who insisted upon reading each
days work, could see that he and
the young man were going to write
quite a story. He grew most i'm
patient to see how it would turn
out.
