Part of this dri e "J14r on the hard sand of the sea shore where fishermen were easting their nets. On that particular 'day we had luncheon under a carob tree ,.in view of the ancient city of Tyre. “Beirut surprised us by it's pros perity and progress, and its many i Europeans. The American Univer-j sity with its beautiful location, fine ! buildings and lt!00 students of many! nationalities, would be a credit to j any city in any country. The school has a great influence with the Mos- ’ lenis and Christians alike.* “The trip from Beirut to Baal bek is one of the greatest scenic drives of the world. It takes one rapidly front tropical gardens up to the Lebanon range of mountains and offers superb views of the red roofed city of white houses juttfiJig into the blue Mediterranean. Damascus Beautiful at Distance “At Baalbek there are pictur esque and stupendous ruins of vast Homan temples dating from the second century A. D. Baalbek takes ite name from the worship of Baal, the sun .god. The Romans were ! I- ter, as well as other temples t , i Bacchus and Venus. There vv i heard a lecture by Professor Alou: i a Syrian, who has given his life t ' i research work nnd*to writing abou I ftliese ruins. ’ “From Baalbek to Dainaseui , I which is said to be the oldest eit t in the world, the drive is on a hig . | plateau between the snowy Ml „ j Hermon and Mt. Sannin and th many-colored Lebanon and Anti Lebanon ranges. “We had come into an arid land and looking down from a desolati i hillside we could see the green ova [ of Damascus with its blossoming I fruit trees—an oasis made by tin A ban a and Pharphar in the deser | circling it. j “The city looks more beautifu | from this distance than it doe: at close view. It is old and dust) | and has hidden its beauties behinc | dull walls. We saw wide gaps ir tin: city made by the ill-advisetl French attack. French soldiers were about the city in gieat num bers, many of them natives or Af ricans under French commanders. Arab Love Song Quite Different “There,are more Hebrews of the Ancient type here than in Jerusa lem. Men of different tribes and religions, wearing distinctive cos tumes, ore always thronging the ! squares, anti camel trains file in and out the narrow streets. Ba zaars are full of hammered brasses with intricate designs, enameled ■ metals, and Persian rugs and Da : mascus blades. “Another wonderful drive took us to the Sea of Galilee. It was a beautiful sight as it lay below us, sparkling blue anti surrounded by rose and amethyst cliffs. “Our impression of Nazareth was pleasant. The well-built stone town is inhabited by Christians of the Greek and Roman churches. Sweet faced women could be seen working at their iuce making or threading their way about the town carrying jars, bread trays or baskets on their heads. They still draw water from Mary’s Well. “A. young Syriac, who had been in America, a student at Columbia, sang an Arab love song for us. His song was throbbing and piaintiw and ended quite suddenly on a high note. I asked him what were the words and he replied, “Oh night! oh night! oh night! Oh beloved! oil beloved! oh beloved!” x»cuouin nuspmamy .Noted “We visited a home of sonie of the poorer peasants where a large room was divided into two parts: one was raised and floored for the family, and the other was a lower dirt area fro the cow and other animals. At night a matting is laid on the floor and thin mattresses are placed for beds. The mattresses arc piled in a high wall niche to keep them clean during the day. Even this family had a little sep arate. onc-foomed house for guests. “Hospitality toward guests was also illustrated by some Bedouins whom we visited near the Head Sea. The sheikh urged us to enter under his black lean-to tent and to sit on ;the mattresses spread for us. These were placed on the desert sand, in ,the midst of wandering chickens and dirty children.

Here no saw an ’ interesting contrast of the ancient and the modern. Before us an im mouse crowd had gathered with rows and rows of autos beside a great aviation fitfld where two fine new planes were taking off on their | initial flight. Autos, however, can ! not go inside the walls since the streets, are narrow and steep. [ “We walked in through Jaffa Gate, along David street and 'then j by Christian street to Hotel St. i John, which is near the Church of | the Holy Sepulchre. Jerusalem is | in four quarters, the Jewish, the | Moslem, Armenian and the Ohris I tian. To these must be added the [modern city outside the walls where j Americans and Europeans live. Sees “Wall of Wailing” “One of the picturesque sights in the Jewish_ quarter is the Wall of [Wailing, where on Fridays the Jews [gather to bewail the lost glory of i Israel and to supplicate for its re I turn. They stand beside the wall! °f the temple area, praying and I chanting, touching or kissing the I wall, while they keep up a slow ; rhythmic swaying from side to side. | “The descendants of the ancient -Jews wear goberdines (the big full | robe) and flat caps bordered with thick black fur. They let their hair grow to the neck and always wear one long corkscrew curl hang ing before each ear. “We climbed up on the walls of Jerusalem and walked around to i tjhe Temple Area. In this area, the site of Solomon’s temple, is the fa mous Mosque of Dinar, now called the Dome of the Hock. It is one of the most perfect examples of Mos lem art, wonderful in simplicity of outline and in richness of 'mosaics. I II-has been called ‘undoubtedly, the finest building in Asia’. I can say that, it is the finest! building I have [seen in Asia, and that its mosaics [are the most beautiful I have seen [anywhere. The spacious area about it provides a setting unequaled by “It is interesting and strange Hint, the preservation of this site should be due to the reverence felt for it by Mohammedans who have woven their own legends around the great rock where was once the He brew altar of burnt offerings. Spe cialists from the American School of Archaeology, who were with us, j told us about the recent findings, j making the scene even more vivid I for us. | I aiestine is full of color and va ticty. I here is a sharp contrast of elevation between the Mf. of Olives, on which one stands :>l)00 feet above the sea, and the Dead I Sea, which he looks down upon, l.'lOO ! feet below sea level. There is a wide contrast between Jaffa! oranges (the most delicious 1 ever tasted) and tin1 Dead Sea fruit. ! These instances are typical of the diversities that are always present-’ ing themselves to the traveler in this little land, so full of associa tions. ” Classified Ads WANTED—(jirls wJth some experi ence to serve tables at the A11 chorage.
