HE unrest that has long existed
among the Bedouin tribes tn those
regions of Palestine east of the Jor
dan, nnd further south along the
line of the new Mecca railroad,
broke into open revolt against tho
Turkish authorities, and already
has been marked by serious vio-
lence and bloodshed. The Turkish
garrison at Kerak, a town with a
population of several thousand, ly-
ing on the uplands of Moab a few
uilleH east of the south end of the
Head sea, was overcome and put to
sword by the hordes of Bedouins which have in-
fested it like locusts, Tho military governor was
among the slain. The many Greek-cburch and
Latin Christians of Kerak have fled to Ilammoud.
A part of American tourists, including some la-
dies, were stopping there enroute for the rock-
hewn city of Petra when the outbreak occurred,
and were obliged to abandon their trip. They
succeeded in getting out of the town with the help
of some friendly Bedouins who attempted to guard
them In an effort to reach Hebron, but they were
robbed of everything but the animals they rode,
by other Bedouins, and at last succeeded in reach
lug the shelter of Hebron No Christians have
been killed, as the enmity of tho Bedouins la
against the government.
The Bedouins have also torn up the Mecca rail-
way for long stretches between Zlzeh and Katra-
m-h, a distance of about 100 kilometers. Tho tele
graph wires have been cut outside of Kerak, and
station masters and their assistants have been
killed. The Bedouins now hold the region trav-
ersed by the railway, creating a most serious situ-

atlon, as it closed the outlet northward to tho tens
of thousands of Moslem pilgrims now In Mecca for
their great, and annual feast, the Aid el Keblr. If
the caravan route from Mecca to Jeddah on the
Red Soa, la also held by the Bedouin, It would close
the way out to the thousands of pilgrims from
Egypt and India, a stale of things which would
call for prompt and decisive action. Tho limited
food supply at Mecca would be quickly exhausted
and could in t bo easily replenished.
Much excitement was caused lit Jerusalem by
the discovery that Kerak was In flames, as could
he plainly seen from elevated places In nnd about
the city. Different rumors are current, one of
which Is that Kerak Is being destroyed by the
Turkish troops because of the discovery that the
chiefs of the town were secretly In league with
the Bedouins.
Medaba, wlu-ro the famous mosaic mnp of the
fourth century of tho sacred places In Palestine
was unearthed some years ago, has just been oc-
cupied by several Turkish regiments, and Is be-
lieved to bo safe from attack.
It is stated that the French consulate hero has
Just received a telegram from Its Damascus agent
that Sami Pasha, who has recently succeeded In
suppressing the Druse rebellion in the Horan, has
hastened with Ilia troops to the scene of the Be-
douin trouble. Further reports state that he Is
dealing with the Bedouins with great severity.
The large Bedouin population of Palestine and
the region through which the Mecca railway ex
tends Is divided Into many tribes. If there existed
unity of aim and action among them, their oppo-
sition to the Turkish government would be most
formidable. For these tribes are often at war
among themselves and there Is no spirit of or-
ganization or cohesion among them. But even
as it la they have presented a serious problem to
the government.
It Is only within a few years that the tribes on
the east of the Jordan, opposite Jerusalem, the
Adwan and the llenl Sukher, have been brought
under a sort of loose control, and that Kerak has
been occupied by a garrison, and likewise the Be
doulns In the south, around Beer-sheba, where a
government center was established only recently
At the latter place a seraiye has been built, and
also a mosque to pleaBe the Bedouins. A small
town has sprung up which Is the newest town of
Palestine and Is distinguished by being the first
to have water works as well as being the site of
the Beer-sheba of Abraham’s time The name
means "Seven Wells," all of which have been lo-
cated. It Is from one of these the water Is pumped
for the use of the town.
An abortive attempt wns made about three years
ago to plant another center further south and ao
nPuz/jH r/eoopj oepemes jit rente-eras#
extend the Jurisdiction of the government. The
Pasha of Jerusalem, with his retinue of civil and
military officials, at that time gathered the Be-
douins of tho region, and gave them presents and.
with great pomp, read a mesage from the Sultan.
As part of the ceremonies many of the Bedouin
boys were brought together to receive presents of
clothing, etc., and to be circumelsed. But a re-
port was started that this would mark them for
being taken ns soldiers later, and they fled from
the proposed rite.
These new government stations, and the at
tempts of the officials to ingratiate themselves
with the Bedouins hitherto not subject to the gov-
ernment, were in pursuance of a policy adopted by
the Constantinople authorities about 20 years since
looking to breaking up the old nomadic and Inde-
pendent life and habits of these sons of iBhiuael
The plan was to get the Bedouin youth into a
special government school for them at Constanti-
nople, to confer titles and give presents to the
chiefs, to gradually push forward among the tribes
the line which marked the limit of the authority
of the government, and finally to disarm and enroll
them with a view to military service and tax-levy-
ing. However but little has been accomplished
along these lines.
The building of the Mecca railway, which was
hoped would forward the government policy, has,
Instead, led to complications and conflict. The
road has had to be constantly patroled v mounted
troops, for the Bedouins have been all along greatly
opposed to it. especially because it deprived them
of the very considerable business they had in hlr
ing their rxmeli to carry pilgrims and their bag
gage to and from Mecca. For a time the payment
of “hush money,” ur annual allowances to the
sheikhs of some of the tribes by the government,
kept them quiet. But recently Kizza Pasha,
formerly military governor of Jerusalem, now in
charge of the post at Medina, has attempted tc
hold a stronger hand over the unruly tribes, ana
he discontinued the payment of the “allowances.”
This led the Bedouins to attack the railway sta-
tions. tear up the track, etc. This was in the far
south.
The troubles at Karak were precipitated by an
attempt of the government to enroll the Bedouins
nnd disarm them. This applied not only to the
Nomadic tribes but to the towns people and vil-
lagers many of whom are Christians. An incident
Illustrative of how this operates occurred the other
day at Es Salt, on the other side of the Jordan. A
member of a wealthy Christian family cf the town
was in the fields with Boiue of his men. As usual
and necessary in this parts, he was armed. A
Turkish officer with a few soldiers attempted to
disarm him and take his rifle, resulting in his
shooting and killing the officer, and in he and his
men being at once shot by the soldiers. His broth-
er was apprehended and taken to Damascus.
It seems pVemature to attempt to disarm the
people of these towns and vilages that are ex-
posed to the attacks of the Bedouin, and in seek-
ing to do so the government is facing a difficulty
with which it will be hard to cope.
It Is thought the government will be able to
put down the present uprising without much de-
lay. It is most unlikely that the disturbances will
extend far beyond their .present area.
Wiicfos A^ir
When the time comes that an avia
tor may make adjustments of bis car-
bureter as well as other portions of
the motor upon which be depends
even more than does the chauffeur on
bis automobile engine, the problem of
carburetion will not present so many
difficult view’s.
The ordinary carbureter, say*. Victor
Lougheed, author and engineer, is In
most respects a nonpositive mecha-
nism, in consequence of w hich its func-
tioning 1s attended with many uncer-
tainties. This is obviously true even
in the automobile field
Increase the motor car difficulties
many fold nnd add the care that the
aviator has to exercise in operating
Ms hying machine and you may re-
alize w hat carburetion In Air machine
motors means.
Yet the carbureters In flying ma-
chines are very similar to those in
the best automobile engines. To se-
cure uniformly proportioned fuel, it is
necessary thnt the fuel level in the
atomizing nozzle be maintained fair-
ly constant. Also for variable speed
engines, it Is desirable that the car-
bureter action be such as not to de-
range the mixture materially through
the suction from different speeds.
With no means of compensation, at
higher engine speeds—and consequent
higher suction—extra air Is admitted
through a valve automatically oper-
ated, opening wider a* the suction in-
creases. Other means of arriving at
a similar result are admission of air
through positively controlled valves
interconnected with the usual butter-
fly throttle, or by devices that reduce
the orifice of tho atomizing nozzle.
In many carbureters’made for auto
mobile uses the floats and float cham-
bers are made concentric In form, sur-
rounding tho atomizing nozzle, the
purpose being to maintain the level of
fuel \n tho nozzle, regardless of fore-
and-aft or lateral tilting of the ve
hlclo.
In a flying machine this seems hard-
ly necessary, because longitudinal
tilting never under normal conditions
can exceed the comparatively flat an-
gles of gliding or ascending, while
lateral tlittng Is compensated for by
the centrifugal force set up in turning,
which acts upon the liquid within the
float chamber as well as upon other el
aments In the machine.
MAny of the foremost designers
favor positive fuel injection into the
cylinders in place of carbureters. This
positive form admits of much closer
regulation than is possible with the
carbureter. Because the injection may
be timed, it permits of high compres-
sions without preignition, the fuel in-
jection being delayed until 4he igni-
tion is wanted.
Obviously one of the chief objec
tions to the general employment of
fuel injection is that of commutating
tho fuel to the different, cylinders
without the objectionable scheme of
employing a plurality of pumps) one
for each cylinder. This, besides add-
ing complication, scarcely will admit
of such adjustment as to give exactly
uniform results In all of the cylinders
— difficulty which is no greater than
that of equalizing the intake manifold
from a carbureter so as to produce
uniform feeding

That Tired Feeling
That comes to you every spring is a sign that
your blood is wanting in vitality, just as pimples
and other eruptions are signs that it is impure.

Employer, but the-Result
Was Sad.
"Now, William,” the old farmer said
to his new apprentice, "1 want thee to
mind what I do say to thee, to be
sharp and attentive and to delay not
In carrying out my instructions."
"Ay, ay, zur,” replied William.
“First, now, I wart thee to take
out the old white mu « and have her
shod.”
"Ay, ay, zur," stiff William, and de-
parted.
He returned two hours later and the
old farmer questioned him.
"Thee hast not been quick, lad," be
said, reprovingly, "but if thee hast
done thy work as l ordered thee thou
shalt be forgiven. Didst thee have
the mare shod, as I telled thee?”
"Ay, ay, zur!” replied William,
beaming, "Didst thou not hear the
gun? 1 shot her myself and I've just
buried her."—London Answers.

LEWIS’ "SINGLE BINDER,”
A hand-made cigar fresh from the
table, wrapped in foil, thus keeping
fresh until smoked. A fresh cigar
made of good tobacco is the ideal
smoke. The old, well cured tobaccos
used are so rich in quality that many
who formerly smoked 10c cigars now
smoke Lewis’ Single Binder Straight
5c. Lewis’ Single Binder costs tho
dealer some more than other 5c cigars,
but the higher price enables this fac-
tory to use extra quality tobacco

fooled. There is no substitute! Tell
the dealer you want a Lewis "Single

A WIDOW’S LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In-
juring Her.
A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
"1 suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with iny heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, 1 did not
realize the gravity of my condition tilt
l was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me.
"This distressed me very much, as
I was a widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. It was to protect
her future that I wanted to insure
my life.
"Fortunately for me, 1 happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that 1 was
w ith heart trouble, and who was bene-
fited by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. 1 grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
"My health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, I gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of ail, my heart wuts strengthened
from llie beginning, and soon all yte
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth!
"Then 1 again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.
"It was seven years ago that 1 be-
gan to use Postum and I am using it
still, and shall continue to do so, as I
find it a guarantee of good health."
