The walls ? ?a either ?ddo are usually Very hare. I'.ver.v no.n and then one passes a dooj\ so n let it lies plain, sometimes quite ornate with jolly brass door knockers. Above, from the lirst lloor are pro jecting oriel windows, t.hese, too, vary ing' from plain brick and timber to carved wood of ureal richness ? with pierced screens, often of very beauti ful design. I 'ait be i bey plain or fancy, they cast a pleasant shadow on the road beneath and incidentally block out from view except for a glimpse here and there, the domes or minarets , .vhich -were so noticeable from outside the city walls. I <)iit of th?' maze of these narrow streets one would never emerge had it not been for the kindness of the Turk, who very i bought fully cut a broad road right through the center of the town in commornorat ion of the fail of kut. Now. in our day. we use it for the main stream of traflie. I'.iii the most charming feature of hagdad is the river front and this ajotic is Mitliclent to compel one's ad miration for the city. Ilasra In com parison is all mud and shipping. Amaru is pretentions with a row of buildings of uniform design facing on a promenade, which reminds one too , much' of a terrace on the "front" 'of a small Seaside resort. Kut is pic turesque too, but designed on a scale helming its siy.e and importance, and .With its mosques and public buildings, Hie palms and the trees and more es pecially the numbers of delightful riv cr->i<!e houses, with their verandas and b.ili onies and their exquisite little gar dens overhanging the river, Hagdad Inis a .character and a charm nil its own.

" Smoke Virginia-Carolina Straight 99 Some smokers still pay a fancy price for "descendants" of Virginia "Carolina tobacco that was transplanted years asJo to Turkey. But men who judj?e tobacco by quality rather than iprice prefer Virginia- Carolina. For this tobacco has all the qualities which men want in a cigarette ? flavor, body, zest and "life." That's why Virgin nia- Carol in a doesn't need to be mixed with other tobaccos, but tastes best when you smoke it straight ? in a Piedmont. The Virginia ~ Carolina Cigarette TRAFFIC MOTOR TRUCKS When you buy a Trunk- Truck you have purchased something more than simply a motor truck ? you ha\e bought cheaper transportation ? cheaper in dollars and cents than the cost of hauling with any other known carrie regardless of its type or character.
