Continued from Twentieth Page But it will take long, patient toil and it will come as the fruit of an expedition equipped for years of work in this land so difficult of access, and where students and explorers are still subjected to hostile raids and massacres. If the eyes of scientists could only behold what the eyes of the Tuareg have beheld, then our fund of knowledge would be multiplied a thousandfold. But the desert is the Tuareg’s home. He finds comfort where we find hard- ship; he walks fearlessly where we go with fear; he can outfit himself in an hour for a long trail for which we would make weeks of preparation; he conquers the desert—we only explore it. The Tuareg are a tall race of people, nearly all 6-footers. In their flowing garments and with eyes gleaming above their veils, they are the living pictures of our youth-imagined giants. They are beautiful specimens—Greek mountain gods. Very few of them are stout. Before we had met the King of the Tuareg, 58. Kind of beetle. 60. Attire, 61. Withdraw. Down. 1. Tropical vines. 2.

The answers to the cross-word puzzles on this page will be found one of the tribesmen said, “If you meet a fat man, you can be certain that it is the Ameno- kal” The women are well formed and wear graceful, enveloping robes, bound tightly under the arms. They have a proud way of walking that brings to the mind the goddesses of an- cient Greece. Perhaps, after all, they are the last of the Atlanteans. The entire population of the Hoggar is about 5,000 souls. Attempts have been made to in- troduce agriculture—a futile effort to change their raiding tendencies. They are nomads and will always remain so. During the past 25 years France has somewhat pacified the fierce Hog- gar tribesmen, but they are always looking back to the good old days when they raided from one end of the Sahara to the other to their heart's content. They remind me of retired pirates, forced to sit around their camp fires, dreaming of the freebooting days of old. I asked a group of them if they would like to go raiding again. Their answer was a heavy sigh that came from the heart. They are now 1making their last stand against extinction amid their beloved mountains. The Tuareg, last descendants of the once mighty Libyan peoples, are dying out as fast as civile ization reaches them. Like the American Ine dians, they soon will be but a romantic legend. They have changed greatly in the past two generations. Their enforced peaceful living has smothered the old fires of initiative and energy. The caravan trading is disappearing; the end of slavery dealt that trade its deathblow. Soon the automobile and Transsaharan Railway and the irrigation of certain large depressions will change the Sahara. Then new pages in its history will begin. As a result, the tribes- men will be driven still farther back until at last they will disappear under the wave of civilization. Old trails are fading. Ancient camping grounds are silent and melancholy. Soon the long caravan of the Veiled Ones will have passed into the night. (Copyright, 1930.) “Read the Label.” A “READ THE LABEL” campaign is being carried on by the Department of Agricul- ture to assure housewives that they are not buying misbranded or adulterated foods which a careless inspection of the label leads them to believe to be pure. Already in some sections this campaign has had very beneficial results.
