It's Hard to Believe

Many a serviceman is wonder
ing today why meals are known in
the Army and Navy by so forbid
ding a name as MESS. The word
Is not a term of reproach. Mess is
the English form of the highly re-
spectacle French word NETS (pro-
nounced meh), which means that
which is placed on the table; the
food served at meal
All of us are familiar with the
word mess in this precise meaning
for did we not learn in Sunday
school that Esau sold his birthright
for "a mess of pottage"? The word
mess still is in common use in the
South. When the Southern house
wife announces that she is going
out to buy mess of turnip green's
for dinner, she uses the word in a
very proper sense: Enough for one
Of the main courses of the meal.
Isn't it a relief to know that the
word mess and its derivatives mess

DREAM.

It now contains about Is 900 persons.
King Husein took steps to build
the empire of which he dreamed.
One Of his sons was made king Of
lrak (also spelled "Iraq'). Another
son, for a time. ruled the stretch Of
land, east of Palestine, known as
Transjordan.
At length, Husein's power crum-
bled. He lost a battle with Arabs
who favored a leader named Ibn
Saud. Feeling that he had grown
too old to handle affairs, he gave up
his throne and went to the British
Island of Cypress to spend the last
five years of his life. He died in
1891.
A son of Husein took the throne
which his father had left, but the
sons reign lasted only year. Ibn
Saud had kept on gaining power
He took control of Hejaz, and made
Mecca his capital.
With other land which he had
ruled before, King Ibn Saud now
had power over most of Arabia His
empire is known as Saudi Arabia, Z"
and its area is given as 100000 square
miles.
