East of the river, on the Persian side, is "new" Baghdad, | with its government oiliees, barracks, ; consulates, prisons, etc. Beyond, as far as the eye can roach , In every direction, stretches the vast, i flat, treeless, empty plain of Mesopo- t tamia?a region once more populous 1 than Belgium. To "go native" one must paddle ashore from the steamer in a "goofah," n queer, coraclelike craft in use here since Jonah's day. A goofah is woven from willows about '? feet in diameter, is perfectly circular and basket- f shaped, and Is coated outside with bitumen. Some say Moses was cut j adrift in one of these goofahs. Another strange craft at Baghdad Is ; the "kelek," a Kurdish invention. The I keh-k is a raft made of intlated goat skins, held togeflicf L?y poles and eov- ; ered with n platform of straw mats. ! | 1 lies,, kclcks come d.iwn tn the city in hundreds frmn .Mn-ui. bringing i wed. pottery, grain, and skins.

India, is a citv Of 17',OIK) people. It lies in t lie V shaped region between the Jumna and Manges rivers, at the meeting place or the two streams. It is this location that draws huge crowds to the town annually; and. at twelve-year inter vuls, tremendous hordes. Both the Jumna and tlie Manges are sacred streams, and thoi/ meeting place is dojibly sacred. The mysticul Indian mind finds still a third reason for hoii ness: It Is believed by the pilgrims that the Sarnswnti, n river which is swallowed up by the sands southwest 1 Of Uui Punjab, emerges at tlio Junctio* 1 point of the Jti 1111)a and (Jnnges. 1 Jotli the Ganges and the Jumna are colfeo-colored streams, heavily laden with silt. At low water in late winter a large expanse of dusty sand Is exposed below tlie Allnhabud fort which stands on the hUiff overlooking the continence. It Is on this beach that tlie millions of pilgrims assembled recently. The Indian police huve their hands full during the great religious fair or Kumhh Mela. AH vehicles are excluded from the river plain, nnd all efforts concentrated on maintaining order among the multitude of men. women, and children that move about In the dust, .slip on Hit* wet clay near the stream hanks, and attain merit by bathing in the murky waters. A torrid sun heats down, and to scr- a its rays little shelters of ru-i - h.i\ e bei n otvrted on the sands. 1"I. I these > ;( ;i 11 uuililier of people Wi.ii.ag a minimum of clothing.

Among the <roud< go men carrying water -krns. sprinkling the water in an effort to lay the dust that millions of bare feet Stir Up. The Kumldi Mela Is a niecca for money makers, and the principal thoroughfare is lined with mat-shed shops for the sale of sacri tidal brassware, tiny brass Idols, holy berries made Into dark necklaces, and shining brass bottles. zoned with mellow-tinted copper, In which holy water can be taken to remote parts of India by credulous people. Here and there one tinds men with small furnaces full of heated pitch, sealing the water vessels so that not a germ or an atom*of holiness can escape. Allahabad is old. In the enclosure of the fort is a pillar erected by Asoka, the great l'.uddhist king, during the Third century It. C. It may have been moved to the spot later, however, so li is not conclusive evidence that A town existed on the site of Allahabad during Asoka's reign. The llrst town known to history on this site was lTayag, about which a Chinese traveler wrote in Too a. d. The Hindus still call the town I'rayag. "the place of sacrifice." It received the name by which it is now known to the world from its Mohammedan conquerors in Singapore a Great Free Port. Singapore is an island 27 miles long by 1 1 utile and ,iast misses |i?.jng tin* Southernmost point of the continent of Asia by a half ni.lc water channel. It :.t the fumed p..ait of the Strait of Ma'acca which extends h twecn the Malay peninsula and the island of Sumatra, the great water highroad between India and China. l.ittle more than a hundred years ago the island, owned by the sultan of Johore on the nearby mainland, wax a deserted jungle save for a little fishing village. Ships In the China trade passed it by as they passed many another Jungle shore; llu; only ports of call In that region of the world were those on the I Mitch islands of Sumatra and Java. Hut these ports took a big toll in fees, and Sir Stamford Itnffios. an otlicia! of the r.ast India company, begun t>> dream of a free Hriiish port that would facilitate trauu. In 1S19 he obtained the seemingly worthless island of Singapore for his company for a small fee. Developments soon proved him a prophet, for within two years the little tradit g center he established had a population of lujKXt. It was 1K22 before the British government consented to tkki' an interest In the place. In the little more than n hundred years since it was founded, the Jungle o' Singapore has given place to a huge < ity ?>f close to foiMtoo population, carrying on trade normally valued at a billion dollars annually?one of the metropolises of the British empire. Its quays and anchorages serve thou sands of craft of all sorts and sizes, from the picturesque, graceful Malay sampans and the stodgy Chinese Junks to the familiar freighters of the West, and what Kipling asserts are the "lady like" liners. They build op Singspore's shipping to the tremendous total of 17,000.000 tons yearjjr. Lost People of Guinea Plateau to Stay Nude Loudon. The newly discovere-d race on tin?

Itev. V. II Hherwin of (iosport, who has left home to take religious and medical comforts to the "OO.OttO inhabitants of the new territory, expressed himself strongly on the point. "One of our policies Is to flgbt .1 trainst clothing natives. 'I he big mis take* western civilization has made la to put natives into clothes. '"These people ordinarily have a high standard of morality, walking about often naked, and tire not possessed by the sexual exaggeration# that we have in civilization. "Moreover, in humid heat the more the body is exposed the better from the medleul point of view." Italy Will Taste Its Wines From Touring Van Itome.?Some thousand* of Italians will have their palates wooed with the tlnest wines of this country when the government sets about Its fall campaign to make Italy more "wine conscious." In order to put a reul kick into Its wine-boosting efforts the government has ordered the construction of a motor truck equipped with the most upto-date refrigerators and tasting booths, j which will tour the country giving the ! Italian In the street a first-hand ac- ! quaintunce with his native wines. The truck will be labeled with the slogan, "Drink More Wine." The most exquisite examples of Italian wines will he carried in the truck. This propaganda tour Is being organized Jointly by the ministries of kueriur and agriculture.
