THE CORDELL HERALD-SENTINEL
USE ANCIENT WATER CRAFT
Nations Warring In Mesopotamia
Kmploy the "Kelak" on the Tlgrla
and Euphrates.
All kinds of ships of -at and of
commerce have been j.. eased into
•ervice in the great European conflict.
There are over-sea boats, on-the-water
boats and under-sea boats; there are
auperdreadnaughts, battle cruisers and
disguised commerce raiders; there are
great ocean greyhounds that yester-
day were floating palaces of the ocean,
carrying the wealth and beauty of
civilization on their migrations across
the sea, but that today are grim
havens of suffering, where Jhe wall of
pain a ad the shriek of anguish have
substituted, the carnival of music and
the sound of mirth.
But strangest of all the kinds of
floating equipment that the war has
dra"; ed into ferviee Is thtf kelek. De-
scribing this strange boat, the Na
tional Geographic society says;
"The kelek is probably one of the
earliest forms of water transportation
used ly our ancestors in Asia. It con
sists of goatskins inflated with air,
tied l> nyaili a framework of light
poies. Often as many as eight hun
dri; l such skins are used to give the
bout the desired buoyancy.
'The cargo Is loaded on to the kelek
Just as though it were a flat-bottomed
barge, after which the craft begins its
journey down the Tigris or the
Eupt-'-^es'propelled or guided by oars
Wh' ' it reaches Its jcuvnoy's end it is
brotcii up kad soti) as stuns ana tim-
ber.
"The two great rivers of Mesopo
tamia are very crooked and very ir-
regular in thoir depths. The air line
distance between Diarbekir ahd Bag-
dad is 400 miles, while the water
route via the Tigris Is about 1,000
miles. At many places the river is
deep enough to accommodate boats ol
considerable draft, but at others it ie
so shallow that a man has difficulty
In swimming. But even over shallows,
■where a man cannot go as a swimmer,
a well-laden kelek will float without
accident.
"For thousands of years this buoy-
ant. boat has helped the people ol
Mesopotamia to move their commerce
over the shoals and shallows of twe
of the earth's moodiest rivers, and
has now come to play its small part
In tiie greatest war of human history.'
Worth Careful Thought
Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate?
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is
made from cream of tartar, derived from
grapes, and adds to the food only whole-
some qualities.
Some baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes #for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful-
ness for low price.

Before the eye has a chance to see a
picture in its entirety a new picture Is
Hashed on the screen. The pictures
appear and vanish at the rate of six-
teen a second, in other words, so rap-
Idly that the effect of continuous mo-

Advantage is taken of this to pro-
duce very curious and unnatural ef-
fects; for example, an old building
tearing Itself down, a hole digging it-
self in the ground, a skyscraper grow-
ing up from a foundation without the
ftld of human hands. The camera op-
erator has b. .iply taken a picture of
the demolition of the old building and
the construct.on of the skyscraper at
the rate of perhaps one an hour, but
projects them all in twenty minutes.—

usual "points,'' there is a graduated

There is a every reason to expect a continuance of
the high prices for beef for several years to come. One
of the largest packing houses in the country has contracts

the allied ainv.es. With the end of the war faraway,
and with the herds on the ranges growing smaller, there
is every encouragement for the man who is engaged in
