*fnner Mongolia Part
Of Vast Desert Waste
Inner Mongolia, says the Nation
al Geographic society, is the south
eastern third of a vast region once
known simply as Mongolia. The
southern border of the famed Gobi
i (a desert wasteland) became the
boundary between Inner and Out
er Mongolia when the latter pro
( claimed its independence from
I China in 1924. Composed of the
provinces of Chahar, Suiyuan and
Ningsia, Inner Mongolia is five
times as large as New England, but
1 by recent estimates supports only
60 per cent as many people.
Part of the great desert blotch
which sears the face of Asia from
Afghanistan to Manchuria, Innei
Mongolia has a meager rainfall
which varies from a yearly aver
; age of 15 inches in the south to f
inches along the Gobi frontier. A
! continental, low-humidity type ol
1 climate produces there some of the
world's greatest climatic extremes
—summer temperatures as high as
! 100 degrees and winter cold as low
as 50 degrees below zero. A thir
blanket of snow covers the wintei
! ground, and provides added mois
| ture for spring grass.
The land itself is rolling steppe
| with occasional wind-swept flatter
; areas which merge northward intc
desert annexes of the Gobi. Aver
age elevation is about a mile above
sea level. High winds have carvec
grotesque cliffs and swept count
! less tons of loess, the yellowish
brcwn topsoil of the area, south
ward across the Great Wall intc
China. Important discoveries by
I archeologists before the recent war
have labeled these plains as among
the earliest inhabited places on th«
earth.

Some shelters say trade won’t take them
as high as they are. Small dealers, like
myself, think Good Schley, Stuart and bet

Anyway, I want yours. If you can’t bring
