gineers, have been granted the
contract.
Two thousand feet long and so
feet high with q roadway on top,
the dam will have Sc sliuce gates
20 feet wide.
A novel feature will be a "fish
ladder" for salmon headed up
stream.
From the reservoir behind the
dam, two-mile canal will be dug
to the shallow Shatt-el- -Gharraf
river.
Enough water will be stored up
to water 10000 square miles Of
desert, engineers estimate.
And it is reported to be poten.
TALLY rich soil. The Babylonians
grew wheat, sesame, barley, palms
and apples, according to a Greek
historian.
The irrigation area will reach
to within a few miles of Ur of the
Chaldees-often called the cradle
of civilization, the first spot where
man lived in a city.

LONDON U.N.S0.-The Gar
den of Eden is to flower again.
That is, if the Garden of Eden
was where Hebrew tradition puts
it-between the Tigris and Eu-
pirates rivers in modern Irak.
Modern engineering is. going to
do it this time - convert land
which has been a desert waste
into a fruitful cultivated area.
Three thousand years ago the
Babylonians maintained an irriga-
tion system between the two
great rivers. The land was a vast
granary. When the BabylonianS
disappeared the irrigation system
vanished with them. The land has
been a desert ever since.
Now British engineers are 60
ing to follow in the footsteps Of
the BabylonianS.
The first step will be to build a
gigantic dam at Kut on the Tigris
scene of World War sieges and
battles between the Turks and
British.

A blasting ray of light struck
through and almost blinded him.

the voice of the gray-headed captain.

The good" treatment OF the friar,
when Juan-Silva had commended
him to the keeping of his guards,
consisted in taking him to a long,
low shed, where he was promptly
stripped of his robe and clad in the
cotton trousers which were the uni

The chain was fitted to his ankles,
the length of it running up to a
steel collar that incloSed his neck,
and as the blacksmith riveted it in

that they filed by a pile of tin cups,

sort of bean soup, thick, sour to the
nose, unspeakable to the palate, and
on top of the cup of beans was Drop

This small ration they had only a
short time to eat, because the guards
grew restless and wished to have the

But at last he had the cloth in his

He lay on his left shoulder, in his
left hand holding the cloth to the
extent of that arm. In his right
hand he kept the machete. And then
he waited with eyes closed.
His left arm began to grow numb.

for it depended upon dehcacy of

sweating all over and the air was
thicker and staler than ever. He had
a trenzied second of thinking that it
would be death by suffocation merely
to remain in the room.

The event is the seventh running

victories at Arlington Wednesday.
None of the candidates will carry

MAX NEEDS GOOD
HANDS, SAYS Joe
Louis Ayers His Are O. K,
Baer'S Better Had Be if
He Fights Him.
BY the Associated Press.

~ ETROIT, July 12.-Young Joe
Louis took a long, careful
look at his hands today, and
then modestly ventured to
give Max Baer a tip that the former
world heavyweight champion should
make certain his fists are ready for
his next flght-or quit the fight game.
The Brown Bomber" hasn't much
to worry about regarding his hands
or any other part of his 2o2 pounds
of anatomy. Louis goes every morn
ing for long horseback ride, and in
three days, he says, he can get back
at the weight at which he exploded
Primo Carnera out of the heavyweight
picture.
Joe Is Sympathetic.
RUT Joe SympathizeS, nevertheless,
with Baer's hand problem. He
said today he was glad to read that
Max was "tickled pink" that surgeons
said his hands were not seriously hurt
in his battle with James J. Braddock.
But only Baer knows If his hands
are Q. k" the sensational young
Negro fighter said. If Max isn't Ger
tain his hands are o. K. and feel
right, he should stay out of the ring.
If We meet this Fail, and I'd like to
fight Max by that time, he wants to
be certain they're o. K, because mine
are"

TN THE act OF turning out a few
kind words about the veteran
Walter Hagen, it occurs to us that
L we have overlooked an even greater
veteran when it comes to the age-old
battle against time and youth.
His name Is Devereux Milburn. At
the age of 81, he still is one Of the
greatest polo players on any field
still star against any type of opposi-
ton thrown his way.
Where Hagen has been playing high
class tournament golf for 2S years,
Dev Milburn has been playing cham
pionship polo for 35 years, and only
a few days ago he again was one of
the top entries among such polo
notables as Winston Guest, Tommy
Hitchcock and Cecil Smith.
Dev Milburn was one of the
main actors who helped to bring
the big cup back from England
more than rs years ago.
Two or three years back they carried
him from the field at Aiken with
enough broken bones in his body to
last two foot ball teams an entire
season.
They had to wire him up to keep
him together. But when healing time
came around he was back on a polo
pony with a mallet in his hand, looking
for more action.
Last Summer he picked up a broken
collar bone. He has taken the batter
ing of IS years and yet this season he
looks better than he has looked IN a
long time.
And you might write it down that
polo isn't any powder-puff contribu-
ton to competitive sport.
IN ANOTHER polo lineup at Mead
owbrook we ran across the names
of S. Carey and A. Smith on the same
four. S. Carey happens to be Seward
Carey, aged IA, and A. Smith is Archie
Smith, his 17-year old two-goal grand
son. When some one can play good
polo at IA there is no particular rea-
son to start bothering about the raw
ages of time until you've passed 90.
Or maybe "a. John D. Rockefeller
gave up golf at 95, but this may be
only a brief recess.
But, after all, when grandfather and
grandson can play hard game OF
polo together, with an age difference
Of Sc years, we can see no particular
reason why any such word as middle
age should appear in a dictionary
If 1t does.

A WELL-KNOWN sportsman, who
happens to be a major general in
the United States Army. has just re-
ceived letter from DR.. William Twed-
dell. Lawson Little's opponent in the
final round of the recent British anna
teur.
He has sent Us the letter,
which happens to reflect great
credit on both men.
This was the greatest round of golf
ever played" the veteran Tweddell
wrote. But it proved to me that, in
addition to being a fine shot-maker
Lawson Little also was an amazing
competitor. There were several occa-
sions when he had me 3 down or 4
down. Yet 1t so happened down the
stretch that I overcame this lead. Ev-
cry golfer knows what it means when
you have had a good lead wiped out,
especially when the holes are slipping
away. But in place of slipping or
breaking up, Little settled down to his
best golf, winning the match with one
of the finest shots I've ever seen from
bad lie. This is the true and the
complete test of great competitor" 4"
WHEN it comes to the big punch in
base ball-meanine the home
run zone beyond the park-the Amer
ican League has had something to
spare over the National for some
years.
The A. L. can point to Babe Ruth,
Lou Gehrig, Jimmy F'oxx and Hank
Greenberg-to mention only a few.
Against this quartet, the N. L.
can show Hack Wilson. Chuck Klein,
Mel OFT, Wally Berger, Rip Collins
and other long-range finders, who
are far above the average-but who
still haven't the consistent carry
ing distance Of those mentioned above.
Two Of these. Ruth. and
Foxx, broke up two Of the all
star games.
Ruth, Foxx and Gehrig all are
over the 200-pound class, while
Greenberg is a big. rangy fellow
around 6 feet or 4. Ruth now is
through and Lou Gehrig has drawn
a slow start. But Greenberg. Foxx
and Gehrig, on seasons count. still
rate around the top as danger sig
mails. Their 10-year totals hardly will
be equaled by any rivals. And it's
