His Home Is a Tent
The Bedouin is an astonishing
example of man's ability to adapt
himself to almost impossible liv-
ing conditions. The' desert's mea-
ger yield of thorneit, shrubs and
scrubby grass is worthless to man
except as fodder for his fire but
it is converted to milk and meat
by the cancels, sheep, and goats,
These animals also supply the
Bedouin with hair and wool from
which tent's, rugs, and clothing
are spun.
Since he must first of all al -
tend to the needs of his animals 1
in order to obtain from them the
very necessities of his existence,
be constantly migrates over the
grudging face of the desert in
search of grazing land. Thus he
remains a nomad, in the centur-
ies-old tradition of his ancestors,
for there is no possibility of his
settling in a permanent conimun-
i.ty following the pattern we
usually consider `civilization";
his is that land described in the
Old Testament (Lev. 26: 19-20):
"I will make,your heaven as iron,
and your earth as brass: And
your strength shall be spent in
vain: for your land shall not
yield her increase, neither shall
the trees of the land yield their
fruits."
The Bedouin has little protec-
tion against the heat of the sum. -
mer or the chill of the winter.
His clothing includes the ghutra,
a four -foot square of white or
checkered cotton worn as a head
cloth; the black agal, a ropelike
hoop that holds the ghutra in'
place; the thobe, a loose -fitting
neck -to -ankle garment usually of
white cotton, During the colder
weather and the months of the
shamals, or sandstorms, he also
wears a brown sleeveless coat
called a bisht or an aba, The
younger children wear dishdash-
as, or knee-length white shifts,
'The women may -wear dresses of
'brilliant colors in the privacy of
their tend; but in public they
keep such finery shrouded be-
neath their long black outer gar-
ments, just as they keep their
faces concealed behind black
Mails.
The only Jame the Bedouin
knows from birth to death is his
tent, which is designed -for porta-
bility rather than comfort, And
yet it' is as true for him as for
the city dweller that "home is
where the heart is," and family
ties in these nornad tribes are
extremely close and dearly treas-
ured.—From. "Kings and Camels,"
by. Grant C. Butler.
How Can 1?
By Roberta Lee
Q. flow can I remove those
annoying and unsightly fuzz
balls that sometimes collect on
sweaters?
A. These can be whisked off
very easily with a dry sponge.
Q. flow can 1 make a good
stuffing for prunes?
A. Cream and roquefort cheese
make a fine combination blended
together and used to stuff prunes
or dates. A delicious addition to
this mixture can be made with a
few nuts ground fine.

Scotland Yard Adopts.
A New Gimmick
Secretly, Scotland Yard de-
cided to experiment with the
revolutionary Identi-kit "Wanted
Man" picture system invented in
America,
One. C.LD, officer, Detective -
Sergeant Raymond Dagg, spent
a week learning how to use. the
Identi-kit.
On the very day he finished.
his training, fifty -nine-year-old,'
Mrs. Elsie Batten was clubbed
and stabbed to death in a curio
shop off the Charing Cross Road
in London.
Dagg at once began building
up an Identi-kit picture of the
wanted man. It was circulated: to -
all police stations, and screened.'
on television by the BBC, '
Five days later, a C.I.D. patrol
,licked up a man from the Identi-
lcit _description . and an Old
l3ailey jury found the man, Ed-
win Bush, guilty of capita] mur-
der.
The judge, Mr. Justice Steven-
son, praised the officer who
spotted the murderer from the
Identi-kit picture.
"You deserve the gratitude of
the community for recognizing
the man the way you did," said
the judge.'
Since then, the C.I.D. have
been using the kit to trap sex -
offenders, dangerous drivers be-
lieved to be responsible for road
deaths and criminals of many
types.
In many constabularies the
C,I.D. is working with the new
"miracle" box, 10 in. by 4 in. by
7 in. It contains approximately.
525 transparent slides, each bear-
ing an actual facial characteris-
tic. Each slide is numbered
Anybody who has seen the
wanted person is asked: "Was
his hair dark? Curly? '- . Was
he thick -set? Was his face stern,
friendly or craggy? Straight.
eyebrows?" and a host of similar
questions. As the witness des-
cribes all possible features of the
subject, an officer trained in this '
work slips one transparency over
another until a face is built up.
The witness and the Identi kit
can be hundreds of miles apart.
Details can be given over the
phone.
But it is better for the witness
to see the Identi-kit at work.
Then the officer can ask:
"Was, he anything like that?"
The . witness may . suggest a
different . hair -line, or make al-
terations to the lips or eyes.
When the face is built •up am
exactly as possible from the wit-
ness's memory, the picture can
be 'wired to police stations all
over the country.
As each transparency is num-
bered, the details can be phoned
or wired to anyone else with a
kit, and an identical picture
built up.
At Scotland Yard I was told:
"Apart from the speed, the big
advantage of the Identi-kit is
that for the first time we are
able to get the pictures screened
on television.
"In the past we:have frequent-
ly had a family snapshot of a
wanted person, but 'for legal
reasons an actual photograph
usually cannot be published. The
jury may be prejudiced. Also,
if the • person happens to be
proved innocent, he might be
alible to site the police if a photo-
raph is used it the press, ortelevised.
But an Identi•'kit pictures does
not claim to ,be of a particular.,
individual. This.gives bihe C.I,I3
a free hand to broadcast all the
vital . information.
Hugh C, McDonald, chief of
the civil division et the Los An -
geles 'County . Sheriff's office,
toured 'Europe after the war
He had talks with many police
chiefs, and realized the need for
a new visual identification sys-
tem.
He took a rough idea to the
Townsend Company of Califor-
nia. They spent nearly twelve
'years working with experts such
• 'as •the assistant director of the
State of California's Department
of Justice, George 'Brereton
The result was the Identi-kit..
More than 40,900 photographs
were. taken. all over the world
to produce the facial character-
istics seen on Identi-kit slides.
And 'th'ey,. make 62,000,000,000 1'a-
cibl ' combinations possible —
men.and• women, young and old,
fair and 'coloured.
The Identidtit':is not cheap It
has to be hired' at around. $15 a
month.
Scotland Yard 'and many C.1.D,
forces would like to be able to
buv their own. Identi-kits,
"We only allow police to have
Identi-kits on a leasing arrange-
ment," states a company official,
"because of the necessity of pro-
viding improvements as they
. are 'introduced, and fox ex-
changing lost 'or damaged slides.
"We have. to keep .kits uniform
all over the world, and if we
sold them we should have no
control." -'
When Scotland Yard became
interested: iri.the Identi-kit, Hugh
McDonald came over and taught
thirty-one police chiefs how to
use it.
• He left twenty-nine kits be-
hind, ten of which are at the
Yard.
The transparencies include 102
pairs of eyes, twenty-five mous-
taches ,and beards, thirty-three
lips, from thin to - sensuous, fifty-
two chins, from weak to jutting,
and thirty-two: noses. But no
ears.
"Our first experience," said
the inventor, "is that the victim
of ,a crime —'say rape orrobbery
— isusually facing' the criminal,
and never• gets a chance to see
his ears properly.
"Special -marks like scars and
moles and the, ears, can be drawn
in afterwards on the transparent
slideswith a wax pencil."

One Method Of
Taking Off Fat
Oklahoma's Rev. Oral Roberts,
the fiery evangelist who appears
on 500 radio and TV stations
every week, is reported to have
overcome lameness, deafness, and
blindness with 'faith. • He used
more mundane ;methods to over-
come obesity among his 375 -man
staff recently.' Last December,
Roberts served notice that if
overweight employes, warned a
year ago to reduce, hadnot slim-
med down by March, they would
have totake enforced leaves of
absence without pay and might
eventually lose their jobs,
Last month, Roberts (who lost
28 pounds himself). victoriously
announced his .staff lost a ton of
collective fat; one woman lost
more than 100 pounds. No one
.has been fired, but not everyone
is happy. "Where is there any
Christianity in an employer hir-
ing overweight people," said one
follower, "and then threatening
dismissal regardless of their effi-
ciency= or years of service?"
"Overindulgence," said Roberts,
"i5 a sin."
