Some are referring to Iraq as the
land where" the Garden of Eden
was located. We tannot tell about
the other three rivers, that had
their souree in Eden, but we do
know of the mighty Euphrates
which, we. read in Genesis, waS
one of the four great heads in
,which was clivid,ecl the river that
flowed out of Eden to ",water the
garden.". •
. Perhaps, then, .in the immemor-
ial land lying between the, Tigris
and .the. Euphrates and which has
'suffered many of the Wars that
have ravaged mankind, including
Chaldean, Babylonian, Assyrian,
Greek and Roman,- maybe the

dwarf aupreceeding wars..

SUGAR AND .Splc
By W., (3i11) B.
EVery year, in; our. IfanillY, We
spend more tune talking about
our holidays, than mot people
would if. :they were -planning. a
trip around the world. '
If the vacation was for a month-,
three weeks, or even two, there
-might be some point in all the
talk. But the gritire deal Consists
of ofie week.. And one week's
holidayis about as beneficial as
one drink for an ,alcoholia. •It
merely.' gets, the recipient -upset,
and instills a mad- desire for more.
•Some years we have attended
weeklY newspaper cpnventions 011
our holidays. They are usually'
held about 700 miles from home.
The holiday inVolves,weeks-'of
cussion-about wardrobes for both
hot and cold weather, half a doz-
en firm -decisions that we Can't.
afford it, and endless fulminations -
to plant the kids with somebody.
In the end, we *declare roundly
to each other that' We're only!
youog once, and take off in, a
great flurry -of last-minute reser-
vations ;and- irritations. And. what
With all the social -events, the late
hours and - the , long trip,, we ar-
,rive home completely fagged 'and
equally broke,. the last two -bucks,
haying been spent on presents for
the kids, _grabbed at, •the cigar
stand in, Union. Station, on the "last
lap of the journey home.
One year, We decided to just stay
home: I was going to paint •the
,trim' on the house. On that eeci-
sion learned two'*.things: that
you can't get much .trim painted
when you inieek off, every half
hour for refreshments; and that I
am conStitutionally unable to work
• with the Old Lady -as straw boas.
That year,,i, got two and a half
windows painted, 'and they sat
like that for about three years, un-
til they „faded back into the shab-
biness. of the'rest cif '
Each year, during the fall,
ter and spring, we have long,
a nue able and re aSoriable-talksr
about our holidays. Mywife agrees
that it is only sensible that a man
who, has ,a mere week should get
away from his wife and family; go
on a fishing trip, or get off with
some male' friends. - -
And each year when my. Week's
holiday looms be stops being a
logical human'slibeing and reverts to
being ,a woman,' She- is mit going
to be stuck at home with the kids
while HEIt husband 'goes -larking
off for a week with the boys, en.
joying hiinself thoroughly,
my firm belief, stated op
many occasions, that a man should
get away from hiefarnily once a ,
year. I, Andevery hot, , disgruntled -,--
irritated Male tourist see walk-
ing Paat MY office window, herd. ,
Mg a horde of demanding young.
sters. and a eross, perspiring wife, .
Merelyconfirms this opinion.
Mind yen, I think a wonian
should get away, from her-"familk
one in a while too. Every -three
.-Or four years a wife "Sheirld be, al,
loWed to go and visit her mother,
orone of her sisters, for two or
three daYs. As long as she leaves
plenty, of baking, lots! Of clean
laundry, and doesn't want to spend
;any Money while she's away.
*:e '
Seriously, though, my Old Bat-
tleaxe agrees' with me, about men
getting away for a change on their.
holidays. In theory. What burns
her up- is that men appear to have
a wonderful tinie when they go
on a holiday with other men, and
women are just not interested in
,
going on a jaunt with other wo-
men. It is one of the manifold un-
fairnesses, -thongh why it is -so,
he can't quite explain. My sug, „!.
gestion that women are eternally
fascinated , by men, and 'men can
take women or leave them alone,
fails to strike a responsive chord,
,. •
• At any rate,' wealding that:I ain,
