Chapter Is THE JOLLY KAID

The ,Kaid Abd' allah Karin, seat ed upon his cushions in the Lady Zainub's chamber, laughed n1errily his famous laugh, that hearty, deer chested, full-throated laugh which shook him from head to foot, and which so rarely inspired a sense of amusement and inclination to laughter, in the nearer. 7i.
 "Ha, ha, thou Desired of Emper- ors, thou Moon of my Delight that knowst no wane, what saith the Prophet Himself (on whom be |peace)-and he, Allah witness, knew something of women-what saith he?"
 Well, what does he say?" in- quired the Lady zainub, humoring her lord, with smiles, and wonder ing whether in the end, he would stick a knife in her, or have her thrown from the battlements in a sack. Better that, perhaps, than grow old, and wither in neglect.
 What saith he on that interest ing subject, my love?" chuckled the Kaid. Listen and hear. He

vehicles of other days, will be purchased to the amount of $15000000 Men will have to be em- ployed to manufacture them. More will have to be hired to make the s50,0o0,0Oo worth of new kegs that the brewers have ordered in which to ship the amber fluid. Still workers will fill the jobs opened by brewers orders for $15000OO0 worth of bottles, and the $12,0000O0 worth of new cases in which to pack the bottles.
 Not the least source of employment will be in the and needed to produce the $75,- 000,000 worth of ingredients required to make the beer for the next year Five millions of dollars worth of labels have to be printed and printers now out of work will get jobs doing that. News papers hire a few thousand more compostors on the $2OoO000O that the brewers will spend in advertising.
 In plant repairs alone, the brewing industry estimated it will expend s36O0OOoOO this year. That means more thousands of men at work, in addition to those employed in the manufacture of beer
 Thus the nation has not had to wait for Presi- dent Roosevelt to get an unemployment relief pro- gram through Congress before the easing of the strain of enforced dleness relaxed materially Be- fore the Administration is month old, it has already put back to work many thousands of the millions who were forced out of lifeglvng jobs in the past four years

Branch Banking.
(New York Times.)

When the time comes to supplement the emer- gency bank legislation enacted last week with a broader program of reform consideration is certain to be given to the proposal for extensive system of branch banking This was an important feature of Senator Glass bill in the last session He argued persuasively that the American banking system would be improved by making available over wider the services of strong banks capable lof supplying sufficient capital to minister to the commercial and industrial needs of the community At the present time only nine States permit branch banking on a Statewide scale These are Rhode Island Vermont, Delaware, Maryland, vir- ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina Arizona and California In fourteen other States of which New York is one, branch banking is permitted within restricted areas, such the limits of single city, township borough county In the remaining States, summary recently prepared by the Federal Reserve Board showed that eighteen specifically prohibit this type of banking, while seven have no legislation on the subject.
 The experience of Canada which fosters branch banking has furnished a powerful argument for broadening privileges now so narrowly restricted in the United States. In comparison with record of than 5000 failures in the last four years, Canada has not had single failure during the de- presson and only twentysix since the confederation of the Dominion in 1876. Our own very limited experience with branch banking points in the di- rection of greater stability. This indicated in a statement published yesterday by the National Industrial Conference Board, reviewing the results of an inquiry into this phase of the question. It was asserted that approximately four-ffths of our bank failures between 1921 and 1929 occurred in the twenty nine States which during this period either prohibited branch banking had legislation on the subject So large a figure scarcely be a coincidence The conclusions to be drawn from this survey reinforce MT. Glasss argument that our banking system needs, among other things, a
 larger number of adequately financed institutions to replace small which have toppled like tenpins in a bowling alley at every disturbance of business"

MAKING JOBS FOR IDLE.

In the exuberation the return of beer to the nations thirsty souls of the significant features to accompany it has been rather sighted in public comment And that is the fact that it will furnish jobs for thousands of men and women now out of work. The extent to which it will relieve unemployment is hardly calcuable but it will be sufficient to be felt.

And most of them were idle and without hope of immediate employment before President Roosevelt induced Congress to modify the Volstead Act.

The Prince of Nature Takers.
(New York Herald Tribune)

For almost forty years little items have appeared in newspapers all the country bearing the date line of Winsted, Conn, and telling of outandish hsppenings-cows that gave ice cream instead of milk, hens that laid red, white and blue eggs on the Fourth of July the doings of the pig that was deaf and dumb, the antics of the curious three legged bullfrog, the phenomenon of the tree which bore baked apples, the pet squirrel that shined it's masters shoes with it's tail, the trick of the bald man who painted spider on his head to scare away the flies, and and
 The man responsible for all these items was Louis Timothy Stone He died yesterday in the town which he made famous. AS young man he found Winsted just another Connecticut town, and his fanciful tales did it nothing but good Indeed, one Lou Stone in such town may be well worth more than any number of chambers of commerce and boosters clubs The citizens of Winsted gave him much credit for developing the town and the adjoining section He pleasant whimsical fellow, and remarkably well-nformed His stories, brief straight-faced and with just the right re- straint (some of them terse the Coolidge anectodes), were of the sort that give the lie to the journalistic dctum: There is harmless fake.'

appointed that he entered his coun- Gil chamber, attended by his son, Raisul; his friend and agent, the Senor Pedro Maligni; his agents son, MT. Jules Maligni; his confi- dential scribe and secretary, Abu Talib zerhoun; mighty Ibrahim the Lion, his gigantic bodyguard; {; and the stern and stalwart com mander-in-chief of his fighting men, Mahommed Ali el Amin, Ma hommed the Trustworthy, Moham- med the Reliable.
 Seating himself on a handsome, if somewhat dirty, divan, the Kaid comteously signified his pleasure that the other should be seated also, and bade Abu Talib, the scribe, go and inform the visitor who had arrived yesterday Con Senor Pedro Maligni's recommenda- ton and personal guarantee), that the Kaid sat in audience, and would receive him.
 To strangers and wayfarers be kind saith the Koran" observed the Kaid, and laughed meaningly
 He is undoubtedly a stranger and something of a wayfarer by now" smiled Pedro Maligni, "as he has come deviously hither from Germany by way of Egypt, Tunis and Algeria"
 And I shall und ou bt e dly be kind" laughed the Kaid again.
 A few minutes later the scribe returned, accompanied by a tall thick-set, broa d-shouldered man dressed as an Arab, his bearded face sunburnt and weather beaten.
 In Arab fashion and speech, he saluted and greeted the Kaid and the assembled company.
 The Kaid clapped his hands loud ly; servants entered at the signal, and were bidden to bring coffee, mint-tea and cigarettes.

"Oh, ye assembly Of women, give aims, yea, though it be of your ornaments of gold and silver, fo1 verify ye are mostly for Hell on the Day of Judgment and the jolly Kaid again roared with laughter
 The Lady zainub sniffed.
 Well, meantime, you listen to what I say, and so the further postpone your own day of judg- ment. Beware of this Jules Maligni son of your servant and of your sister. Why has Pedro Maligni brought him here?" le
 "To learn to be, in his turn, my trusted agent and servant and friend, and those of Raisul my son As Pedro Maligni's father was to my father-on whom be peace and as Pedro Maligni has been to me, so shall Pedro Maligni's son be to my son, devoted and faith ful. ."
 Faithful perhaps" sneered the Lady zainub.
 And when has Pedro Maligni been less than faithful; given me anything but good advice; true and full information; the best rifles that
 At price," again sneered the Lady zainub.
 At a price, woman? And who does anything save at a price? Should he risk death or imprison- ment for nothing? Did not Pedro's father bring Pedro here, that he might know and serve me, even as Pedro has brought his son that
 
 Beware of that son, I say" re- piled the woman doggedly,

 And the Kaid rose to his feet.
 Tt is not well to weary me" he added mildly, and the Lady Zainut shivered slightly at her husbands kindly tone.
 Casting herself at his feet she begged her lord to be seated, prom ising him amendment, obedience and great entertainment.
 But remarking that, although he had intended to stay for the re. mainder of the day, he was con. strained by her distressing weari. someness to leave it, the Kait strode away, for he had an i'm portant engagement.

(Daily Journal of Commerce, seattle.)

Six grating public officials were recently sem fenced to death in Soviet Russia In America grafters are not put to such embarrassment. Short sentences, if convicted, and then grafters hold their heads as high as any of our respectable citizens.
 Human flesh and moral stability are subject to lapses but the let-downs by the lesser public of- ficials in Russia today are negligible in view ot the rough treatment accorded grafters.
 Not many Americans are lost in admiration of the Soviet regime and shooting grafting officials decidedly harsh treatment but as between treat ment of the crooks who lack the to get out with gun but who ply their weazel-like tactics at the expense of the innocent public and the Soviet grafter there is for action here in country that should make the pastime far less inviting te moral weddings.

"A little you weary me-" said
 the kaid.

Perhaps, being a foreigner, our guest would prefer strong drink of the foreigners?" inquired the Kaid courteously.
 The stranger signified that he would be 10th to offend his host s eyes and delicate nostrils with the sight and scent of the forbidden and abhorrent drink. The Kaid laughed merrily, and the stranger eyed him thoughtfully the while.
 We'll said the Kaid, "as to that, 1 can bear it. can bear it. In fact, to speak the truth-which is ever pleasant and natural to my lips I have tasted it. Yea, sometimes l drink it. And yet, on the other hand, I do not drink it, I never drink it'
 "A hard saying Lord Kaid," mus ed the stranger. "A riddle, in fact"
 Yes" agreed the Kaid. The so- lution of the riddle being that my Holy Mullah, most pious and learn ed man in Mekazzen-yea, in all the country-yea, in all Mogreb- blessed it, and straightway it turns to milk in my mouth!
 Let us drink milk" he added.
 In the ensuing conversation and negotiation, the Kaid showed him. self the keen man of business-the business of war-t hat heredity, training, and environment had made him.
 The visitor or emissary, on the other hand, proved less competent and, on the few points upon which they differed, was. without great difficulty outmanoeuvred, overborne and defeated

 Attorneys for Joseph Mcdonald had prepared a petition asking that he be admitted to bail which was to be presented to the court as soon as he arrived in town on the Humboldt. based on the facts that the killing of Jones at Tread well, upon which the murder charge rested, had taken place ten years previous and that McDonald had permitted his whereabouts to be known at all times since, that the facts connected with the killing were investigated by a coroner's jury and a grand jury and neither investigation resulted in an ar rest.

uURRAH for congress
"A Our much maligned 96 senators and
4S5 congressman are to be congratu-
lated. The target of ridicule for hordes
OF politicians, near politicians, and
whatnot, congress nevertheless justifieS
itself by its accomplishments
1t costs the people of the United
States mere S125,000 a day for each
day that congress is in session. Just pin
money which nobody would notice.
This 72nd congress has been in its
final session since December 5, or some
thing better than full month of 80
days
In that time it has approved nine
measures which have become the law of
the land by virtue of the Presidents
signature.
And it is constructive legislation too.
1t goes a long way toward providing
farm relief, relieving unemployment,
settling the prohibition matter and other
questions of national import.
This is what the nine bills that have
become law provide: pension for one
John Shaw; advancing the Christmas
pay date for federal employees; rein
stating certain postal employees at De-
troit; closing certain streets and alleys
in the capital; granting congressional
auto tags to capitol employees; requir-
ing all barber shops in the capital to
close one day week; transferring juris-
diction of an island from the navy to
the agricultural department; providing
for the sale of navy surplus clothing to
relief agencies; extending the time for
a report on investigation of veterans
costs.
1t will be noticed that several of the
bills relate to employees thereby prov
ing that congress is giving attention to
the employment problem. One of the
bills concerns relief, SO that important
matter is also receiving attention.
With practically the same amount of
time ahead of it as behind it, there is
every reason to hope that by March
congress will act on at least another
nine bills, but it is too great strain on
the imagination to designate them at
this time.
The mountain has labored and brought
forth mouse. With good luck, favor
able winds, the right sort of encourage
ment and the help of Divine Providence,
there may be two mice by the time
March 4 rolls around
Again-hurrah for congress.
