SCENE OF MOVING
I
Ancient Cirene Was Known
as “Bread Basket” of
Roman Empire.
Announcement has been made In
Rome of the successful transfer of some
80,000 Arabs with household equipment,
camels and herds from the desert
regions of Italian-owned Clrenaica to
the more hospitable coastal plain.
"This North Africa area was called
Cirene by the ancients and to them Its
name was synonymous with medicine,”
says a bulletin from the headquarters
of the National Geographic Siciety.
"Prom Its historic port, Apollonia
(Marsa Susa), was shipped a famous
cure for all ills ranging from croup and
raw wounds produced bv whipping to
bites bv mad clogs. This miraculous
herb, silphtum. became so valuable that
it was worth more than its weight In
silver. Later, under Roman dominion,
Cirene’s citizens destroyed every living
plant to avoid an excessive tax. This
unfortunate killing of the goose that
laid the golden egg stopped the stream
of drug-’aden galleys that enriched the
independent city.
May Again Be "Bread Basket of Rome.”
"Situated cn a bold promontory pro
truding into the Mediterranean, Ciren
aica is a dry, parched land with scarcely
a stream or creek. A shelf of limestone
hills, resembling a gigantic backbone,
stretch across the base of the foreland.
Between this ridge and the blue sea. a
fringe cf fertile fields 60 to 70 miles
wide, lying dormant for centuries, now
. teems with Italirn colonists and migrat
ing Arabs. With the help of modern
irrigation methods it is honed this
region again will merit its historical
nickname, ‘bread basket of Rome.’
"Southward is the vast Libvan Desert,
rocky and barren, gradually, farther
inland, becoming a sea of orange
colored sand. Green, palm-studded
oases with a deep well of cool, pure
water in the heart of each, called by
the Bedouins ‘lsles of the Blest? from
the southern border of Clrenaica proper.
These oases are ports for camel cara
vans which plod slowly south toward
Cufra, the trading center of the war
like and fanatical Scnussl.
Camels, Donkeys and Motor Cycles.
"Visitors to Clrenaica usually sail
from Brindisi on steamers laden to ca
pacity with Italian officers and their
families bound for Bengasi, the princi
pal seaport and capital. Because of a
rocky bottom which prevents dredging
in the mole-inclosed harbor, passengers
disembark into small boats, which bob
precariously on the gentle swell char
acteristic of these coastal waters.
"First impression of Bengasi is of a
bit of Europe transplanted. Since 1911,
when Clrenaica was occupied by the
Italians, a new town on modern lines
has been built alongside the old Arab
section. Wide avenues shaded by date
palms and lined with neat houses pat
terned after Moorish architecture bor
der a public park planted with imported
tropical plants and shrubs. Donkeys
carrying nondescript loads, from hooded
Arabs to bundles of firewood larger than
themselves, and camels ‘Dad padding’
along, vie with motor cycles and auto
mobiles for right of way. Lovely, dark
hued debutantes fresh from Rome and
Paris and proud army officers, resplend
ent in the white tropical uniforms of
Italy, stroll along wide sidewalks in
striking contrast to slow-moving bur
noosed Arabs, scurrying fed-fezzed boys
and veiled Moslem women ornamented
with gold coins.
Where Camels Take a Drink.
"While hundreds of miles of ha:d
--i surfaced roads have teen built, the au
to tobile In outlying sections still fol
lows caravan trails used for centuries.
A group of camels being watered beside
the trail is an amusing sight. The
cameleer draws rain-caught water in
goatskin bags from a well and dumps it
on the Yocks. The camels then fight
and snarl to suck this odorous, yellow
fluid from the puddles, each one as it
fills swelling like a leech. Without the
camel life in the desert regions would
be difficult. He not only provides trans
portation but nlUk, meat, when mutton
is absent, and wool for tents, ropes and
grain sacks.
“From time immemorial sponge and
tunny fishing have been the chief in
dustries along the coast of Cirenaica.
Greek divers swim down, holding a
roelft pluck a sponge from the bottom,
and then upon releasing the weight float
tfi the surface. The Cirenaican variety
being especially fine, it is sometimes
transplanted to other parts of the Med
iterranean. In ancient days, it is said,
sponges were put in Greek helmets as
‘shock absorbers’ for the warriors.
"The principal agricultural and food
crop is barley, quantities of which are
exported to the motherland and Scot
land. Henna, olives, vegetables, fruit
and grapes are raised in the more fer
tile regions, while dates, figs and skins
brought in by ca r avans from the south
are shipped to Italy, the last to be
made Into gloves and shoes.
• A Beautiful Venus Found.
"All that remains of the splendor that
was Cirene’s are a few marble founda
tions, columns and monuments un
earthed by archeologists. The lovely
nude statue, Venus of Cirene, was
found In the ruins after a heavy rain
storm. This graceful figure Is consid
ered by many, even though headless,
one of the finest bits of Greek sculpture
eve brought to light.
“There are several strange animals
resident in dry Cirenaica. One is the
pug-ncsed Jerboa, a rat-like anomal,
whose tail is longer than its body.
When chased it Jumps in great leaps
longer than a galloping horse’s stride.
The yellowish Libyan wildcat is an an
cestor of our own domesticated ‘tabbies.*
In the pouch of the civet cat a fatty
substance of musky odor is found, which
when blended with other scents helps
make the rarest perfumes.”

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.. MONDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1930.
Corporation News
NEW YORK, December I.—The fol
lowing is a summary of important cor
poration news prepared by the Stand
ard Statistics Co.. Inc., New York, for
the Associated Press.
Weekly News Review.
Dullness was the keynote of last
week's security markets. Quotations
on the New York Stock Exchange de
clined in all but one session, the index
to prices of 90 leading Issues losing 3.4
points (2.5 per cent) during the five
trading periods. Volume of turnover
averaged about 1,800,000 shares per
five-hour session, the smallest In sev
eral months. Bond prices continued to
move downward with the three divisions
of the Standard Statistics index of
high-grade obligations establishing new
low’s for the year. The composite aver
age declined 1.28 point (1.3 per cent)
during the week, and stands 0.5 points
(0.5 per cent) above the low point of
1929.
In the commodity markets grains
showed some strength, but practically
all other commodities were lower. Cot
ton was especially reactionary lowering
nearly 40 points. Copper remained
nominally at 12 cents a pound, but spme
sales were reported at 10 Vi and" 11
cents. Money rates have not as yet
been affected by the increased holiday
demand. Call money continued offi
cially at 2 per cent, but was again
available at IVi per cent outside the
exchange. Evidence that low money
rates are expected for some time is
given by the reduction in four months'
time money charge by \\ of 1 per cent
to 2> 4 per cent. Brookers’ loans were
liquidated $63,000,000 further during
the week ended November 26, making
the ninth consecutive week borrowings
have declined. Present aggregate bor
rowings of $1,122,000,000 are the small
set since April. 1925, and represent a
decline of nearly 70 per cent from the
high point of last year.
The week’s reports from Industry In
dicated that there has been a further
slowing down in activity, a usual de
velopment at this period of the year.
Wh'-re minimum prices have been
quoted, they have been placed at the
lower limits of recent price spreads,
a stabilization, at best, at the lowest
levels for the year. New automobile
sheet and strip quotations have proved
a distinct disappointment, being at levels
which permit little or no profit. Thus,
it would appear, the major stimulus of
price attempts, as constituted to date,
has been toward the eradication of
special concessions.
Railroad Freight Traffic.
Latest figures of railroad freight
traffic, for the week ended November 15,
show another larger than seasonal de
cline. Total of 829,251 cars was 52,150
below previous week and 153.675 cars
less than in 1929 period. Electricity
production, which is expected to be one
of the first indices to respond to a
change in the business trend, recorded
a slight gain in the week ended Novem
ber 22, but was more than 6 per cent
smaller than in the corresponding week
of last year. In proportion, this de
cline was the severest registered so
far this year. Building contracts
awarded in the third week of Novem
ber increased on an average of $2,000,-
000 per business day compared with the
preceding week, according to F. W.
Dodge Corporation, for the month to
November 21. Rate of lets per busi
ness day was $12,050,200, against Oc
tober average, $12,973,100, and Novem
ber, 1929, average of $15,640,500.
Oil statistics for the week of Novem
ber 22 were uniformly favorable, crude
output, gasoline and fuel oil stocks all
showing decreases. However, despite
the success attained this year in the
restriction of crude production and the
more recent headway toward a con
traction of refinery activity, the oil in
dustry must still look forward to a
number of months of even closer align
ment of production with seasonally low;
Winter demand to result in a sound
basis for improvement in 1932. It Is
estimated refinery operations will be
reduced by some 7 per cent further dur
ing the six months to March 31 if
stocks are to be held to a workable
basis for the start of the heavy selling
season next year. Additional curtail
ment of crude outturn would be neces
sary to accomplish this objective. In
the meantime, under the influence of
extreme competition and necessary
dumping on the part of a number of
small producers, prices of both crude
and refined products have been carried
to the lowest levels witnessed in many
years. At current quotations, in fact,
all divisions are at minimum and It Is
believed several months of balanced op
erations must be accomplished before
prices can be brought to levels con
ducive to expended income.
In the steel industry, mill operations
have been reduced to 40 per cent of
theoretical capacity compared with 43
per cent in the two preceding weeks.
Isolated increases are being recorded In
some instances instigated by the start
of rail production or by automotive
requisitions for early new model output,
but on the whole it Is expected an
increase in operations must await the
turn of the year.
The recent efforts of steel producers
to effect a reversal of the downward
trend of prices have been far from en
couraging from the standpoint of any
major expansion of earnings during the
early part of 1931.

VAST ART DISPLAY
OPENING PLANNED
Burlington House to Contain
Treasures Thousands of
Years Old.
LONDON (N.A.N.A.).—Although .the
great exhibition of Persian art does not
open at Burlington House until Janu
ary, active preparations have been go
ing on for months for what is likely
to be one of the most wonderful col
lections of treasures ever housed under
one roof.
The exhibits will cover the work of
several thousand years, from the far
off days when Darius was king to the
time of the great Shah Abbas and his
successors, and they are valued at
The Shah of Persia, sponsor of the
about $15,000,000.
exhibition, has sanctioned the sending
of anything selected from the imperial
collections and from the famous Shrine
of Imam Rtza at Meshed and the
Shrines of Ardabil and Qum. Many
works are being lent by the great
mosques of Persia.
Great in Variety.
There will be architectural sections
and ornaments. Including examples of
flgural stucco relief from the fifth to
the twelfth century; some 1,500 draw
ings, miniatures and illuminations;
3,000 examples of gold, silver and
bronze work; a thousand old brocades
and velvets, many hundred examples
of painted and enameled pottery and,
of course, numbers of carpets, includ
ing 20 of the finest known silver, gold
and silk carpets, generally called polo
naise.
American museums and millionaire
collectors have managed to acquire
most of the best Islamic art that has
been allowed to leave the East, and
many of these treasures are being sent
to London for the exhibition. One of
the most valuable things that will be
shown is coming from New York. This
is the ibex head, now owned by Mr.
Joseph Brummer, which was dug up
in Volhynia a century ago and is held
by many experts to be the most won
derful piece of animal sculpture of Its
kind in the world.
Notables on Committee.
On the committee organizing the ex
hibition are Si* Reginald Blomfield,
Lord Zetland, Mrs. Emile Mond, Lord
Londonderry, the Duke of Alba and
Mrs. Philip Snowden.
Meanwhile London IS becoming
markedly Eastern-minded. Every one
is seeking information on the subject
of Persian art, and the more frivolous
gayeties of the little season are being
tempered with lectures on Persia and
the Persians, the culture of Egypt and
other kindred subjects.
Dress, too. is being influenced by the
coming exhibition, and to Lady How
and de Walden belongs the honor of
being the first hostess in London to
give a Persian ball.

OHIOAN CUTS CORN
PRODUCTION COST
Plows, Plants and Harvests
Crop by Use of Motorized
Equipment.
By the Associated Press.
LARUE, Ohio, December I.—C. T.
Guthery, a farmer of Larue, says the
price of corn is of little concern to him.
He has learned to produce it at a total
cast of only 21 cents a bushel.
He does it on a mass production basis,
plowing, planting and harvesting by
machinery.
It costs him 62 cents an acre to plow,
he says, pulling three 18-inch plows at
the rate of l>i acres an hour. Prepara
tion of the seed bed, done by a combi
nation of tools which cover 2Vi to 3
acres an hour, casts 48 cents an acre.
Planting costs 22 cents an acre, and j
harvesting, including cribbing, costs i
$1.14 an acre.
Actual Expenditures.
The costs enumerated, Guthery says,
are actual expenditures for labor, gas,
oil and repairs on the implements. In
figuring his total cost of 21 cents a
bushel he includes cultivation, interest
and tax on the land; interest, taxes, de
preciation and upkeep on the machin
ery, as well as cost of seed and fertilizer.
"It requires only 4‘i man hours for
us to raise an acre of corn,” he says,
"and our average yield is 60 bushels to
the acre.”
"Don’t worry about the market,” he
advises. "That's no longer a source of
complaint with me In corn growing.”
Guthery uses three planters in a sin
gle unit, covers five rows at a time at
the rate of 7 acres an hour with the
rotary hoe and pulls a wagon along
with hLs one-row picker to gather the
corn without extra labor and power.
Profits to Depend on Cost.
From other sections of the com belt
come reports of sympathetic leaning to
the theory, advanced by the Farm Board
for one, that agricultural profits may
depend as much on a lower cost of pro
duction as on a rise in prices.
An lowa farmer, using 6 and 8 horse
hitches, produced corn for a total out
lay of 21 Vi man hours an acre. Use of
labor depends considerably, however, on
how it is employed and the number of
operations completed.
Whereas one lowa farmer produced
com up to the period of harvesting at a
cost of 2.8 man hours an acre, 2 tractor
hours and 3.2 horse hours, another used
6 man hours, 4.2 tractor hours and 4.8 I
horse hours.
Bettering Guthery’s 4’i man hours
an acre, including harvesting, is the
record of an lowa farmer who, using
motor equipment entirely, spent only 3.6
man hours an acre on his corn, as com
pared to 300 man hours an acre where
all operations were performed by hand.
