As a portion of their irrigation sy- tem, the Babylonians constructed a waterway with the same cross-section i as the P6np1a anal and four ties Z s lontg, _'is project was successful- ly coml ,1 with only a small frac- tion of t Pools used by modern en- gineersze The tis.also constructed a canal. more than 00 miles long ii thie territory east of the Nile river.

"The advantages and Disadvantages of Groving .Rubber in. the Philip- pines," written by Alex Muzzall,.'15,, recently appeared in the news letter' published by the division of investga- tion of the Philippine bureau'tf,-fd-, etry. The article says that a rubber plantation in. the Philippines can be brought into bearing for at least half the amount spent in Sumatra and the region of the Federated Malay states, and that the cost of production is just as low. A disadvantage, so .far, as the large American rubber companies are concerned, is the fact that no de- finite time has been set when the Is- lanids will be given their independ- ence. aEtan Pay Ment DAeBefore Fb. 1 Attempts have been made during the past.,week to reach every signer for a 1926 kilci ganensian whose con- tract is. still unpaid.
