The result was the negotiation of a treaty with a protocol and subsidiary agreements following in its wake. The 'much-discussed Anglo-Irak treaty sets certain stipulations for the future which will give the Irak investment less of a failure ccomplected aspect, and which grants to the British cer- tain financial and military rights that will allow them to earry on in the country for another four years and es- tablish the Irak Government as a per- manent institution. But some Iraki contend that the treaty is severe; that it wrests from upon them restrictions which will fm. pair growth and retard them in their struggle for independence; lays upon them rigid financiel demands and ob- ligations--in short, Is an instrument ideal. In their stigmatism and youth the treaty, generally speaking, point toward their eventual benefit, and that without the protection and guidance it affords they will be left a prey to in- vasion.

SUMMER HEAT HARD ON BABY No season of the year is so danger- ous to the Iife of little ones as is the summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all human help before the mother real- izes he is ill. Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dysentry and colic are most prevalent. Any one of these troubles may prove deadly if not promptly treated.

I was poorer, bigger, slower in school and more awkward. It was real tor ture for me to meet people, especially women and girls. "One day as I was going downtown barefoot I saw coming towards me two girls whom I knew by sight; they were well dressed and jolly. I thought of skipping down a side street, but I was in the middle of a long block and had to face them. Suddenly I noticed a cow in one of the side yards. Per- haps if I could seem to be driving her, my big hands and feet wouldn't show. Gathering a handful of pebbles and calling to her to 'huy-huy, boss!' I started her off, "The girls came to where I was vigorously driving the animal from her chosen pasture. Then a clear, loud treble voice ealled from the! house: * 'You, boy, what are you doing with my father's cow? "You can imagine the rest. I had made a ridiculous spectacle of myself.

When I came back I told my mother that I had been visiting, and she wisely professed to believe it. As a matter of fact I had visited myself. I reasoned that my fears of other people were groundless and foolish, and that I had been silly to imagine that the whole world was watching me. The roads and all the world were free to everyone, and I re- solved to use them without fear, "It was a fight of course, but I won. And I learned that people are not to be feared or avoided but to be loved and enjoyed. I'm not lonesome any more; you see that everyone calls me doc and how we all enjoy it. Why not live as you go along?" "Why, doctor, I suppose that I--But there, I'm still trying to believe, that I'm different from everyone else. I'm not! I'm going to have friends as other people have!"
