HE unrest (hat has Ions existed among the Redouin tribes in those regions of Palestine east of the Jor­ dan, and further south along the line of the new Mecca railroad, broke into open revolt against the 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 miles east of the south end of the Dead sea, was overcome and put to Bword by the hordes of Bedouins which have in­ fested it like locusts. The military governor was among the slain. The many Greek-church and Latin Christians of Kerak have fled to Hammoud. 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 succ peded in getting out of the town with the help of some friendly Bedouins who attempted to guard thera in an effort to ccach Hebron, hut they were robbed of everything but the animals they rode, by otiier Bedouins, and at last succeeded in reach­ ing the shelter of Hebron. No Christians have been killed, as the enmity of the Bedouins is against the government. The Bedouins have also torn up the Mecca rail­ way for long stretches between Zizeh and Katra- neli. a distance of about 100 kilometers. The tele­ graph wires have been cut outside of Kerak. and station masters and their assistants have been killed. The liedouins now hold the region trav­ ersed by the railway, creating a most serious sltu- Of ££DOZIl7fKfVQLT ation, as it closed the outlet northward to the teni of thousands of Moslem pilgrims now in Mecca for their great and annual feast, the Aid el Kebir. If the caravan route from Mecca to Jeddah on the Red Sea, is also held by the Bedouin, it would close the way out to the thousands of pilgrims from Egypt and India, a state of things which would call for prompt and decisive action. The limited food supply at Mecca would be quickly exhausted and could not be easily replenished. Much excitement was caused in Jerusalem by the discovery that Kerak was in flames, as could be plainly seen from elevated places in and 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, where the famous mosaic map of the fourth century of the sacred places in Palestine was unearthed some years ago, has just been oc­ cupied by several Turkish regiments, and is be­ lieved to be safe from attack. it is stated that the French consulate here 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 his 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 ain*. and action among them, their oppo­ sition to the Turkish government would be most formidable For these tribes are often • t war among themselves and there is no spirit of or­ ganization or cohesion among them. But even as it is 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 Beni Sukher, have been brought under a sort of loose control, and that Kerak has been occupied by a garrison, and likewise the Be­ douins 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 please 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.

Bewitching Hats, Hair Bands, Beaded Caps and Jeweled Orrtaments Are Prepared for Them by the Milliners.

But gown makers have not excelled the milliners, and h%tp are a fitting climax to the beauty of gowns. Be­ sides hats, there are any number of hair bands, beaded caps, jeweled or­ naments and--quaint arrangements of the coiffure for those who prefer them. Little lace bonnets and short veils have been recently used by brides looking for the quaint and pic­ turesque in the costuming of their maids. Our illustration shows a model which Gainsborough or any other art­ ist would certainly admire. It is shaped so as to silhouette the face. It is of black Zagal faced with vel­ vet. The brim lifts at the front and has a decided upward curve at the left revealing the coiffure of puffs and curls. A splendid color of ostrich in coral shades from pale to deep pink sweeps all about the hat. At the left a plume, iu the same shades, pro­ vides just the requisite dash to the finish of this model. The shape is such that the entire profile, including the neck and shoulder, stands out like a cameo. This is an example of the superb in millinery. But thanks to the lati­ tude in fashions, maids who may not indulge in such costly headwear may look as lovely in the jeweled Greek bands, the empire turbans or the Juliet caps made of beads. Then there are the garlands of flowers and the wreaths of blossoms made of rib­ bon with occasional spangles of lit­ tle dew-drop jewels. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Facts About .

The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women will jjersist in going blindly to the trial. It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. Ttiey have ample time in which to prepare, but tliey, for the most part, trust to chance ana pay the penalty.

It is from one of these the water is pumped for the use of the town. An abortive attempt was made about three years ago to plant another center further south and so 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 the region, and gave them presents and, with great pomp, read a mesage from the 8ultan. As part of the ceremonies many of the Bedouin boys were brought together to receive presents of clothing, etc., and to be circumcised. But a re­ port was started that thlft would mark them for being taken as 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 Ishmael. 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 chiefp, 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 by 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 hir­ ing their camels to carry pilgrims and their bag­ gage to an# from Mecca. For a time the payment of "hush money," or t annual allowances to the sheikhs of some of the tribes by the government, kept them quiet. But recently Rlzza Pfisha, formerly military governor of Jerusalem, now in charge of the post at Medina, has attempted to hold a stronger hand over the unruly tribes, and 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 K&rak were precipitated by an attempt of the government to enroll the Bedouins and 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 of the town wag in the fields with some 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 premature 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 ugr' ng without much de­ lay. It is most unlikely that the disturbances will extend far beyond their present area. " Wlicfos When the time comes that an avia­ tor may make adjustments of his car­ bureter as well as other portions of the motor upon which he depends even more than does the chauffeur on his automobile engine, the problem of carburetion will not present so many difficult views. The ordinary carbureter, say>, Victor Lougheed, author and engineer is in most respects a nonpOsitive mecha­ nism, in consequence of which its func- tionbig Is attended with many uncer­ tainties. Thk ts obviously true dven In the automobile field. Increase tlu motor car difficulties many fold and add the tare that the aviator has to exercise in operating alize what 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 that 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 Buch as not to de­ range the mixture materially through the suction from different speeds.

Some allowances roust be made, it seems, for the fits of temper to which geniuses of the stage--and elsewhere >--give way. Edwin Forrest was seri­ ously afflicted willi temper, much to his remorse when Ms passion had •{tent its force. In his journal, which i he kept with regularity, ha once wrote: I despair of obtaining that mastery over myself which I owe to myself, to my children and to society. It is no j excuse nor plea that f suffer so keenly as I do from regret and sham© at my | own intemperance. I feel the folly, j the madness, the provoking extrava­ gance of my behavior, treatThg men | like slaves and assuming a power over 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 the atomizing nozzle. In many carbureters made for auto­ mobile uses the floats and float cham­ bers are made concentric in form, sur­ rounding the atomizing nozzle, the purpose being to maintain the level of fuel in the nozzle, regardless of fore- and-aft or lateral tilting of the ve­ hicle. 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 tilting is compensated for by the centrifugal force set up in turning, and consequent" "ujilct^acts upon the liquid within the float chambe*M*s well as upon other el­ ements in the ifo^ehlne.

Of inexpensive trimmings that a woman can manage for herself there almost no end this season. The old- fashioned cross-stitch has entered the lists against the more elaborate embroi­ deries, and has won a place of its own in its first season. It is effective, in­ expensive and very easy, says the De­ lineator. You can work in bright col­ ored wool on chiffon and other trans­ parencies, or in ordinary embroidery floss on your cotton blouses. It works up in no time even in inexperienced hands, and it has all the best houses in Paris to vouch for its good charac­ ter from the fashion standpoint. It makes a very good looking trimming for the bottom of tunics and flounces, and for the edges of surplice waists and oversleeves. A wool cross-stitch answers the same purpose as bead em­ broidery, giving a little weight to sheer materials, and it costs even les& than the porcelain beads. Flowers for the Bride. Made bouquets, the flowers used ar­ ranged in the most formal manner and set In a rim of lace, are far smarter for the bride than the loose clusters of flowers once carried. Sev­ eral sorts of flowers are combined to give a feathery look to the nose­ gay, ferns, lilies of the valley and gauzy ribbons combining with orchids and bride rosea-and other white flow­ ers. The narrow ribbons, tied in charming butterfly knots, fall In show­ ers from the bouquet, and with this lovely notionthe posies are sometimes set in a nest of gathered gauze rib­ bon in a wider width. One exquisite bridal bouquet seen recently was massed in the folds of an old lace handkerchief, whose yellowed border framed it in the needed edge of lace. The handkerchief was a family pos­ session of course. Another heirloom, a shawl of Chinese crape magnificent­ ly embroidered, was used as a tunic over a plain satin dress, one corner of this covering the left shoulder of the bodice.

Because the injection may be timed, it permits of high compres­ sions without preignitlon, the fuel In­ jection being delayed until the igni­ tion is wanted. Obviously one of the chief objec­ tions to the general employment of fuel Injection Is that of commutatlng the 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.

If a woman wishes to have her guest room entirely comfortable for friends who use it, she must sleep In it herself occasionally. Indeed, she must go a bit more and pretend that that she Is visiting in her own house, using only the articles that are pro­ vided for guests. If she takes her room for a dressing room, merely sleeping in the guest chamber, she will fail entirely to note the latter's defi­ ciencies. Onte clever hostess who has friends in the nouse all the time makes It a rule to occupy one of the spare rooms herself once in two months. In this way she keeps closely in touch with the condition of each, and she knows what articles may be lacking or are wearing out. It is rarely that a simple guest room has writing conveniences for its occupant, and yet for a person staying in the house for several days nothing Is 8 P E N & & K s i . & S . M»K« ii.
