OLDEST^
iLll/lNa CITY
—.=asa;==^ — .. ■■— —J^:.l
Roof of the "Straight" Street in Damascus.
(Prepared by the National Geographic So
ciety, Washington. D. C.)
When France obtained the mandate
for Syria after the World war. she
fell heir to what is reputed to be the
oldest “living" city In the world—
Damascus. Nearly 4,000 years ago the
writer of Genesis mentioned this old
city, and spoke of it as a place of
note. It existed when the Pharaohs
ruled over Egypt; It probably saw
Babylon rise, and certainly it saw that
proud city fall. And it has lived as
other world-famous places about it
have passed into oblivion or lost their
glory: Memphis, Thebes, Nineveh,
Sardis, Tyre, Sldon, Jerusalem, Susa,
Ephesus—a long procession of mighty
cities.
Situated at the head of Arabia, near
the east end of the Mediterranean and
on the land route between Egypt and
the rest of Africa on one hand, and
• Asia and Europe on the other, Damas
cus occupied a position in which it
could not avoid importance. With the
establishment of Mohammedanism. It
took on increased importance as the
assembling point for the final long
crossing of the desert sands to holy
Mecca. And when it Is added that the
city Is encompassed by a fertile plain
through which flows an abundance of
water, Its early consequence, its viril
ity and Its long life can easily be un
derstood. It Is set In the oasis of
oases, a grove more than 50 miles in
circuit of nut and fruit trees In
terspersed with gardens of vegetables.
No wonder the Bedouins from the
sandy stretches of Arabia and Syria
called it “the pearl of the desert!”
In recent times Damascus was the
seqond city in Turkey, being surpassed
In size and importance only by Con
stantinople. Now Aleppo, also in old
Turkish territory, and since the war, a
part, too, of French Syria, has about
overtaken Damascus In size. But
Damascus’ hoary traditions will long
give it first place in the hearts of
the East.
Fascination of Its Streets.
Damascus is the rendezvous of peo
ples from all parts of the Moham
medan world. One cannot be long on
Its streets without being interested
lu the motley crowd of humanity that
swarm through them, and. in spite
of creed and nationality, manage to
keep sweet tempered. The urban Da
mascene rubs ugainst the swarthy,
sun-burnt son of the desert without
even a word of scorn or anger; the
Mohammedan shoulders the Jew us if
they were brothers In the faith; the
spotless visitor from the Occident
Jostles the not-any-too-clean peasant
from the surrounding villages, while
Persians. Moors, Afghang. Indians,
Egyptians, Sudanese, and others from
many parts of the globe hurry along,
all Intent on something of Importance
that lias brought them to this me
tropolis of the Orient.
On the streets are to be seen ven
ders of almost everything under the
•un, especially In the way of eatables,
and, to those who are familiar with
the value of the goods offered for sale,
the words of the native visitor are
plain when he Informs you that “in
Damascus you can sup or breakfast
for nothing.” because of the little cost
of food.
On the same street, within a few
yards of each other, may be seen the
vender of cucumbers with his wares
fresh from the garden, exposed on a
donkey's back (when the load was
aold In pre-war days. It brought be
tween 20 and 30 cents); the bread
teller with his warm cakes of bread
on a tray resting on a stand ready to
supply the hungry with a good-sized
loRf for a cent, and the vender of
milk, who for another cent will give
you a large basin of sweetened milk
in which to soak your loaf. At differ
ent seasons yon may fare well at
little cost off melons, grapes, apri
cots, plums, peaches, apples, oranges,
fl*a. etc., all the products of the gar
dens and orchards around the city.
All Dua to tho River Barada.
But some will ask whence comes all
this abundance, for In no other part
of Syria or Palestine is there such s
profusion of fruit and vegetables at
speh low prices. The cause la tha
| abundant water supply provided by
the ever-flowing and life-producing riv
er Raruda. the Ahana of the Bible.
Rising some miles northwest of the
city, the river is conducted to all parts
of Damascus through thousands of
channels. It is also tapped to irri
gate the gardens, orchards, and fields
outside the city that are constantly
uniter cultivation to supply the needs
of tile Inhabitants.
There are many pleasant spots by
the river's side, whither the Da
mascenes resort after the work and
business of the day to puss an hour
over the coffee cup or the ever-accept
able water pipe as they talk over the
news of the day or the doings of the
outer world us revealed to them
through the Arabic or Turkish pai>ers.
Would you investigate closer some
of the most primitive and interesting
doings of the Damascene, turn aside
to the place where the famous Damas
cus eurtulns are made, and there in
semidarkness you will find dozens of
lads and men engaged in weaving
these requisites of the home on the
most primitive of looms, and yet they
are able to produce an article that
will compete with anything from the
most complete and up-to-date factory
in Europe.
Ur, would you see how thuusanda
of bushels of flour and measures of
oil are produced, you have ouly to turn
aside into one of the many mills to
see that instead of steam tiie patient
camel is used to turn the mill whose
stones crush the grain or bruise the
berries or seeds from which different
oils are extracted. Some will say,
primitive, indeed; but the Damas
cene's reply would be that it is ef
fective and inexpensive; and, where
time is of little object, these are im
portant items.
Views From a Minaret.
But the sights of Damascus are not
all on the streets. For a good view
of the city Itself one must get the fa
vor of a minaret keeper, and have his
permission to climb to the gallery of
the minaret and from there look out
over the roofs, courts, towers, and
streets of the city below, lie it said
to the credit of the Damascene that,
although he is a faithful follower of
tlie “desert prophet,” the fanaticism
so often exhibited by Mohammedans
is absent in him.
An interesting outlook of. the city ia
obtained from a minaret near the west
end of “the street called Straight."
From this position one Immediately
appreciates how well that ancient
thoroughfare deserves its name, for
it runs in a direct line across the
city from west to east for about one
and a half miles. This street, which
is roofed in. still hears the same name
as in the days of the Apostle Paul.
The principal attraction of the city
is the great mosque, which is located
in the heart of the busy capital and
can only be reached through one of
its many populous streets. This spa
cious resort for worship was rebuilt,
early in the Twentieth century, the
funds being contributed from all parts
of the Moslem world, for in 1803 the
edifice hud been almost entirely de
stroyed by fire.
The mosque has had a varied ex
perience, being at one time a heathen
temple, then a Christian church, then
held jointly by the Mohammedana and
Christians and used as church and
mosque at the same time; but since
the Eighth century the Mohammedans
have hud the sole use of it for their
own purposes. .
In the mosque is the reputed tomb
of John the Baptist’s head, a shrine
respected alike by Mohammedans and
Christians. The local tradition says
that after the execution of the Mes
siah's forerunner his head was sent
to Damascus, then the capital of the
district over which Herod bad juris
diction, so that his superior officer
might see that the deed had really
been done and one supposed inciter to
rebellion disposed of. When the Sar
acen conqueror Khaild captured Da
mascus and was searching the church
for treasure, he came across this
revered relic and saused it to be In
terred and covered by a fine structure
! | The Paying i
Guests
| By CLARA DELAFIELD
| Copyright. 1922. Western Newspaper Union.
1 don't Vnuw what It was first made
me suspect that Mr. and Mrs. Crane
weren't married. Maybe it was tbe
attention he showed her. That ain't
natural or proper between married
folks.
I would never have taken paying
guests on the farm, only the interest
was due on the mortgage, and then the
cow died. I always knew Cy Hicks
poisoned tier because 1 showed him up
when he was courting Ada White for
her money. But I couldn’t prove it,
and of course a rich man can always
buy the courts. So I hud to take
paying guests that summer.
Well, the Cranes was the first, and
I took a dislike to Mrs. Crane the
minute 1 set eyes on her. She wore
them smart city dresses and she used
io wash her balr and set on the stoop
with It all hanging out to dry, and
dyed down to the roots, so that you
could hardly tell it. And, as 1 was
saying, it ain't respectable for decent
married folks to set holding hands on
the stoop ufter dark, and that's what
must first have made me suspicious.
I lay low and said nothing, but one
day when 1 was doing up their room
• letter caught my eye, and it showed
me my suspicions were correct. It was
written to a woman called Mary,
which was what Mrs. Crane culled her
self, and signed “your loving husband,
Horace.” Now Mr. Crane's name was
Percy.
It gave me a terrible shock. In par
ticular because I found out tlrnt she
was an actress. It was all about parts
In theaters, and If I'd guessed I’d
never have had them on the farm. But
they were too smart for me, and I’m
naturally trustful.
After that duty compelled me to
look In Mr. Crane's pockets when he
was out with that woman, and It
wasn't long before I came across a
letter written by a woman In Elmira,
algned, “your loving wife, Maisie.”
Now that woman’s name wasn't Maisie
—at least, she called herself Julia,
though of course It was an alibi.
Well, it was my clear duty to stop
tills wave of immorality that was sub
merging our village, and so I set down
and w rote an anonymous letter to tbe
real Mrs. Crane, which I signed “A
Friend," and another to that woman's
husband, telling them whut their part
ners was up to. Then I waited and
watched them. Sure enougii, a day
or two later they began to look wor
ried, and I wasn't long in finding out
the reason.
There was an awful letter from that
woman's husband, whose name was
Dickens, saying he was coming on the
next train to shoot Mr. Crane dead
in his tracks.
And thero was a letter from the real
Mrs. Crane, saying that she was com- j
lng too, and there wouldn’t be much
hair left on that woman's dyed head
when she got through with her. Coarse
but neat. I called it.
Well, there was a pretty kettle of
tlah. I waited till the night train
come In, and off 1 went to the depot.
There was a strange man there, look
ing black as thunder, and a strange
woman, crying. And each says to
me, "Can you tell me the way to Miss
Ann Jones's farm."
I showed them the longest way
round, and I run us hard as I could to
the police station, and told Cy Hicks,
who's our police officer, to come up to
tly • farm or there’d be murder. I
guess I must have threw a scare Into
Cy, for he turned white as a sheet,
and then got down his rabbit gun and
pairs of handcuffs from the books, and
started off as spry as he could go.
We'd Just reached the potato patch
—It was nearly dark—when there
come a blood-curdling scream from
the house which made me go funny at
the knees. Then a woman's voice, say
ing.
“Spare me! Don’t shoot me! I’ll
never see him again. I swear It' Only
let me go 1"
And an awful man’s voice followed:
“You false traitress, say your pray
ers, for I swear you haven't got
another minute to live. I'm giving to
shoot you in your tracks as Fve shot
this perjured breaker-up of my happy
boine 1”
There followed the most terrific
•creech I’ve ever heard, and then the
tournl of a gun. And a few moans—
tjy and I was nearly at the house now
—and then the hollow, mocking laugh
of a maniac.
I caught hold of Cy, and he didn't
go quite so spry as before, and I
could see the rabbit gun kind of going
up and down In his hands, but at lust
he got sand enough to knock on the
door with the butt end of the gun and
say: f
“Open in the name of the law. The
house is surrounded, and If you don't
come out you'll he shot dead whers
you stand!”
At that the door opened, and there
stood both the Cranes Inside, with
the two strangers, laughing at us.
“What's this mean?" demanded Cy,
; looking kind of foolish. “What you
hollering about?”
“O, that?” says Mr. Crane. “Why,
we was Just rehearsing for our new
piece on Broadway next month. You
see, we’re actors, and this gentleman
and his wife come down to spend the
week-end with us.”
“It's a plant," says Cy. “What's
tbe name of this here piece yon spoke
about.”
And I'll never forget the hateful, oily
sound of that man's voice ae be an
swered:
“Ilt’s eahed ‘The Prude's Progress,'
s> ‘Asne Asked For It' ”

FIND ANCIENT SCRIPT
Writing Similar to Chinese Dis
covered in Idaho.

ing Location—May Find
Valuable Relica.
Boise. Idaho.—Symbols and •Aims,
chiseled, it Is believed, ages ago, were
discovered recently on lava rocks in
a remote section of Owyhee county,
southwestern Idaho.
Many of the inscriptions bear
striking resemblance to Chinese al
phabet characters of today, it was
said, although archeologists say they
may be anywhere from 400 to 50,000
years old.
Discovery of the Inscriptions, which
are said to be a mine of aroheologb al
treasure, was made by Robert Li tu
be rt, a Boise taxidermist. Their exact
locution will not lie made public until
they ure examined thoroughly this
summer by a number of scientists who
are coining here.
The volcanic rock on which the in
scriptions are curved is scattered over
a 80-acre sagebrush flat. In the im
mediate vicinity are several large
caves, around the entrance of which
the rocks also arc inscribed. It is be
lieved these caves never have been
explored. Possibly, it Is said, they
contain many relics of scientific value.
Two distinct types of carvings. Ideo
graphic and plctographic. have been
noted. Archeologists believe the Ideo
graphic antedates by many years the
plctographic. Both systems have been
found together on one rock and near
them can be discerned what appears
to be a third system, supposed to ante
date both of ttie others, but which has
weathered beyond possibility of deci
phering.
Clear lifts of this prehistoric writing
are found on one huge water-worn
bowlder 25 feet long, 14 feet wide and
5 feet high. Near the center Is a
series of triangles believed to indicate
Indian tepees, and next to them are
rows of dots and dasties, thought to
be numerals.
Resemblance of many of the in
scriptions to the characters of the
Chinese alphabet was taken by some
to substantiate the theory that the
North American native descended
from a race which came from Asia
by way of Bering straits.
Indians now living In Idaho, when
questioned regarding ttie carvings, say
the more modern or plctographic are
the work of their forefathers, but
they assert the others to lie the work
of spirits.
