or built-up belting, either canvas or
leather, cemented or stitched to
gether, doesn’t last long. Loosened
plies cannot pull evenly.
Before Rusco goes to you it is
stretched, cured and tested. In it
is embodied “93 years of knowing
how”. It will return more service ’

Orontes River
Makes History
“The Orontes river, in northern
Syria, which citizens of Mecca claim
as the northern boundary of the Is
land of the Arabs, the native name for
Arabia, has always played an impor
tant role in the theater of Asia where
East meets West,” says a bulletin
from the Washington (D. C.) head
quarters of the National Geographic
society.
“Juvenal, the great Roman satirist,
uttered what may seem like a geo
graphic untruth when he said that ‘the
waters of the Orontes overflowed Into
the Tiber,’ but many historians have
claimed that the river was an Im
portant factor in bringing about the
downfall of the Roman empire. Along
this path made by Nature between the
Mediterranean and the lands of the
East the superstitions and corruption
of Asia came to Rome, brought by the
Roman legions, and Greek art and
civilization, together with Roman law,
flowed to the rising sun.
An Early Earthquake Theory.
“It has been said that the river de
rived its name from a man who built
a bridge over it. *After one of the
great earthquakes in Roman times
had changed the course of the river,
the oracle declared that the bones of
a man of colossal size found in the
old river bed were those of Orontes,
and on the ancient coins of Antioch,
the most famous city which ever ex
isted along its banks, the river is per
sonified as a youth swimming at the
feet of the female figure representing
the city. The old name of the river
was Typhon after that terrible mytho
logical dragon buried under the moun
tains around Antioch whose frequent
writhlngs and twistings were believed
to be the cause of the numerous earth
quakes along the river valley.
“The giant under the earth still
turns and tosses and mutters and
makes the earth tremble in the vicin
ity of Antioch. It Is one of the few
non-volcanlc regions of the earth in
which earthquakes occur.
“According to Syrians, the Orontes
also is peopled by water-spirits, which
are believed to be the authors of fertil-
ity. When the water of the river,
which has been diverted into Irrigation
ditches, again is allowed to flow across
the river bed, childless Syrian women
wade out into the channel hoping for
the embrace of the water-spirit in the
oncoming rush of the stream.
Meanders Through Steppes.
“Rising down in the great springs of
the inter-Lebanon district, near the an
cient city of Baalbek, the great river
flows northward almost parallel to the
Mediterranean coast, falling 2,000 feet
through a rocky gorge. The great de
pression through which the river
flows, traversing Syria from the Tau
rus mountains to the Sinai desert,
has few outstanding physical features.
It is made up mostly of broad
plateaus of steppe land, rock and
debris. The river widens out at Ha
mah into a rich district containing the
sites of the ancient towns of Apamea
and Larissa. At Jisr-al-Hadid, the
river turns westward around the great
plain of Antioch.
“Though in the main the river is un
navlgable, Its valley has for ages been
a convenient highway for traffic from
north to south. Roads from the north
and northeast, from Damascus and
Coele-Syrla converge at Antioch, and
along the depression and across the
Sinai peninsula have passed armies
bound to and from Egypt for hundreds
of generations. Today the fleet-footed
Arabian and the rocking camel are fast
giving place to the invincible automo
bile and the motor lorry.
Its Source and Mouth Cities.
“No two cities in the world have
had more romantic histories than
those at Its source and near Its mouth.
Baalbek, the ancient citv of Baal, the
sun-god, with its famous ruins of a
temple made of veritable megaliths,
stirs the imagination as does Antioch,
which in its glorious days saw the
horse*? of Ren-Hur crash past the char
iot of the proud Roman, saw mighty
Trajan, with fragments of his Roman
army which he was to lead against the
Parthians sheltering in its huge circus
in the midst of the severe earthquake
of 115 A. D., and watched with care
less eye the lolling of the Roman le
gions in its beautiful grove of Daphne.
“When the hot, malaria-breathing
winds from the east blow across the
valley of the Orontes, the inhabitants
take to the mountains and plateaus
where the climate is especially agree
able. For most of them It is con-
venlent to do so, for excellent pastur
age is found in various areas, and It
Is never difficult for these Bedouins to
take up their tents and move all their
household effects to pleasanter sur
roundings. No reliable statistics are
obtainable upon the cattle in Syria, but
handbooks say that the number in the
Orontes valley is considerable. Apamea
In the days of Antioch’s glory was
the home of the great national stud
which boasted 30,000 mares and 300
stallions.
“A good many of the inhabitants
have been lured by American dollars
in digging licorice root on plantations
where great wooden water-wheels have
been lifting the Orontes into irrigation
ditches In order that cough-sirup and
plug-tobacco manufacturers may sup
ply our demands."

Explorer to Enter
Unknown Lands
Washington.—Kweichow, where the
mysterious non-Chinese tribes of China
live and where the famed forked-tail
monkey Is said to dwell, is to be ex
plored by an expedition sent by the
National Geographic society.
Frederick R. Wulsin has been desig
nated to proceed to Peking to organ
ize his staff for the trip into the re
motest part of China. The province
to be explored is about the size of
Missouri and has a population of 8,-
000,000. It is as inaccessible as Tibet
One of the few visitors who has
penetrated only the fringe of Kwei
chow said he saw types resembling
the Ghurka, the South Sea Islander,
the American Indian, the East Indian
and the negro.
About 8,500,000 of the non-Chinese
of the province have survived the
process of Chinese absorption. Many
of the strongholds have never been
visited by white men and whole tribes
do not know that the World war was
fought.
Occasional travelers have reported
how some of the tribes thrash grain
on the rooftops, as In the Holy Land;
how others have great “prayer flags’’
flying on fortified castles, and how
quarrels are settled on horseback with
blunderbusses, broadswords and bags
of stones as weapons.
The monkey the expedition will seek
is the Rhinopithecus Brellchi, of which
the only evidence available now is a
skin. There has been speculation, the
Geographic society says, regarding
the possibility of this species being
an animal described in a famous pass
age of Chinese literature, as follows:
“Its nose is turned upward, and the
tail, very long and forked at the end;
whenever It rains the animal thrusts
the forks Into its nose. It goes In
herds and lives in friendship; when
one dies the rest accompany it to
burial. Its activity is so great that it
runs Its head against the trees; its
fur Is soft and gray and the face
black.”
Kweichow lies on the watershed be
tween the Yangtse and West rivers.
China Agrees to Guard
Aliens From Bandits
Peking.—China’s reply to the second
note of the diplomatic corps regarding
the Lincheng bandit outrage, deliv
ered to the legations reverses the for
mer uncompromising attitude of the
Peking government toward some of
the demands. The latest note meets
in a large measure the stipulations de
signed by the powers to provide
greater security for foreigners.
The Chinese government has issued
a mandate dismissing from office Tu
chun (military governor) Tien Chung-
Yu, under whose jurisdiction the Lin
cheng bandits operated last May when
they held up an express train and kid
uaped numerous foreigners.
Girl Saves 17 Persons
From Death on Bridge
Ottawa. —The presence of mind ot
Eunice Parker, girl guide, saved the
lives of 17 of her charges who were
hiking on a high bridge over the Ryda
river at night, when she ordered them
to throw themselves flat on the outer
ties to escape death beneath an on
rushing Canadian Pacific locomotive.
The nineteenth member of the party,
however, Mrs. A. Campbell, failed to
hear the command. Her body was
found among the rocks 40 feet below
the bridge.
