Personal taste enters into the selection to a certain extent. The modern tenden cy , however, is not to plant the old type rose which has a more or less flat bloom, being shaped somewhat like a cabbage head. That is the type that was grown most largely several generations ago. Those vari eties producing a rather long and pointed bud and similar to the roses seen in flower shops are the most popular and bloom more profusely in the summer than do the old longer' stems, and are pret tier wh^n in bud or half open than the old kinds. Before deciding on varieties) one should select the color or colors de. sired, that is whether red, white, pink or yellow? There are many shades of pink, and one can select the shade most liked. The various shades of pink are the choicest var ieties of roses grown. Probably no pink rose is more popular than the Radiance. Other excellent pink- var_ ieties are Pink Maman Cochet, Ophelia, Helen Gould, Wellesley, and Killarney. In the red, the Radiance is un questionably .one of the very finest Other good red varieties suitable for Southern planting are the Klet eor> Etoile de France, Red Marhan Cqchet^ Rhea Reld and Paul Neyron Of the Whites^ Snow Queen Em press^ White Maman Cochet and Karl Drushkl, are the leaders. The varieties producing yellow blooms <^o not as a rule produce as strAng plants as the other colors but there are several good ones that will do well if given good attention The Alexander Hillf which is a rather soft yellow, is one of the leader's. Sunburst and Etoile de Ly_ on are two more good yellow var., ieties. A11 of the varieties mentioned a bove are the so-called ever-blooming roses and grow in bush form. Of the climbing varieties^' theMarechal Niel Is one of ,the best. The yellow ish white flowers produced are beautiful indeed. Other good climb, ing varieties are the Dr. VanVleet, Mrs. Robert Peary, and Rente Marei Henriette. , o ? ; Uncle Sam still has an army in spite of the "Peace at any Price" propaganda, and recniting officers are enlisting men for * the regular |ervice right along.

(Prepared by the National Geographic So ciety, Washington, D. C.) The hard facts that the world Isn't civilized yet nnd that some men still live by preying on whom they: can with sword and pun, put an end a few weeks ago to careful plans of a French millionaire to operate pleasure cara vans by automobile across the Sahara desert from Algeria to thajt famous synonym for the remote ? Timbuktu. A string of hotels or, more properly, resting stations, had been erected at Intervals -In the sandy and rocky wastes, and special automobiles with caterpillar drives had been construct ed to make the Journey. The whole elaborate, plan was quashed by the French military authorities of north ern Africa because they could not as sure protection from the Tuarges and other desert tribes, who for ages have looked upon any caravan passing through the Sahara as fair targets for their attacks, and to whom loot car ried In the tonneau of an automobile would be equally as alluring as that strapped to the back of a camel. The tourist lost a most Interesting objective when the opening of an easy road to Timbuktu (or Tombouc tou, as the native calls It) failed. The town is situated at the southern edge of the Sahara about nine miles from the most northerly point of the River Niger. In the raJjiy season it it reached by a canal from Kabara, the so-called port; In the dr^ season, when the river Is very low, a {canoe con go along as far as Korylamo, from which point a pony carries the: trav eler across dry marshland and sand dunes to thlfc mysterious city. As the traveler approaches^ the city on ponyback the governor's' palace first attracts attention ; but other well built offices and houses of solid stone add to the view, and he marvels Jiow! such edifices could have sprung up |n the desert. Arrived In Timbuktu one can best get a general Idea of the city by; ascending to the flat roof of the govery nor*s palace. But the trip should be, made early before the sun has climbed .. high enough to make things uncom fortable. % Wonderful Visw From Palac?. The first thing to catch the eye is a mosque, a mud dome some 50 feet high, at the far corner of the dty, its Isolated position making it conspicu ous amid the irregular and curiously shaped house tops. From this point of vantage U seen a wonderful moving picture of Arabs, Moors and Tuaregs wandering i along the narrow streets; camels with rld ersy camels with loads, and donkeys with packs-, pedestrians shuffling along with their sandals clattering against their heels; and here and there the red fez cap of a French tirailleur. , Froi|i the market place rise the shrill voices of women and boys calling o?t their wares. Soon one must escape from the sun, preferably to the home of a French officer. These are charming places, mostly built of mud in true ^rabic style, w|th doors and windows sim ilar to those in Morocco, and divans and cushions much in evidence Toward evening, one may vlfit the market and the famous old mosque, the site of the former slave market, and also the present-day settlement of the freed slaves. Deep sand lies ev erywhere and roads or paths do not exist . ? Today Timbuktu Has scarcely mure than 8,000 inhabitants, and many of, these are nomads who pass through with cattle . or engage In the great salt trade from the Central Sahara. Once the cltj */as much larger,; a ver itable desert metropolis. The ^market iplace Is interesting but far from pleawit. Meat, covered with flies innumerable, and all sorts of articles of foqrf are offered for sale. Four or five languages are distinguish able at times, the guttural sounds of the Tudreg being predominant. The noon sira Is biting hot, but a sun-um brella affords kime relief. I The natives on mats, under the shelter of Httls grass shanties. All sorts of "trader are represented: butcher, saddler, leather-workejry gro cer, jeweler, perfumer, barber, j black smith, tailor, and last, but not least, the fishmonger. ; j ' j' Princely Dissipation In the old days of the German em pire and the rigors of high German society ; the fox-trot and other modern dances were banned by the kaiser, and officers in uniform were not allowed to dance tbem, so they welcomed the opportunity of practicing the dances in private. At a bell given by the kaiser's second son, Prince Elthel Frederlch, August Wilhelm wai i danc ing with a court lady to tbe music of ..C\ ,/J There Is a big .trade In dried fish caught In the Niger, and, since the native Is very fond of fish, It Is read ily understood how a "sun-dried-fish merchant" soon sells out. Women Are Very Shy. On<i finds the greets, or rather pas sages, full of people, either going to or returning from the market, which Is a sort of African news exchange. 1 Strangers find themselves an absorb ing topic of conversation and curios ity. Arab boys and girls run past like fleet little gazelles. Hen, In passing, salute by raising the hand ; the women either turn and run #r pass in a very bashful manner. / These women, of course, are only the servants of the wealthy Arabs and Moors; the rich native woman never leaves her house from one year's end to another, unless to travel with her man. She Is then veiled completely, and It Is difficult te tell whether a male or female Is perched on the top of a camel. The Tuareg women and girls do most of the household work for the richer and more educated natives. The girls are most attractive in appear ance, but very dirty. They never wash, as their home Is usually In the heart ftf the desert where the limited supply of water is reserved for drink ing purposes and Is kept in the water bags .slung on the backs of camels and oxen. The Tuareg Is of a light coffee hue, while Arabs are often far lighter In color than a sunburned European. Their eyes, which are very beautiful, belle their Jealous, deceitful natures. Beggars are to be found in all Af rican towns, but It Is doubtful If a more pitiable collection can he found than those In "Tombouctou." 'Some are bllkd, some cripples, others old/ and feeble; but all chant some song ior prayer In a monotone, beseeching Allah and the passer-by to give them .pims. am a rule, the native is kind to beg gars, but cruel to his animals ; donkeys and camels receive rough handling. The usual cure for sore back or girth gall Is a green leaf, with a little sand rubbed In. Modernity Creeping In. During the rains Timbuktu has a large paddle-boat of some 200 tons; six tall masts of the wlrelesk station can be^seen from the city housetops, and the hum of airplane engln.es com ing up from Dakar has been heard. The telephone and telegraph are likewise in use, the latter being em ployed by the merchants. Before the advent of the French, money was little kjiown, barter and exchange serving for all transactions. Cowrie shells are even now used In the market, for silver is scarce and paper money Is reluctantly accepted. The European population of Tim buktu now numbers about twenty, chiefly government officials, with three or four merchants. A European baby was born In Timbuktu in 1920? the first one In the history of this old town. Social life Is essential In a desert place like this, and the French do all they can to make themselves happy and comfortable. There Is a good hos pital and a fine, bard tennis court. Riding and shooting, with tennis, con stitute the only forms ot exercise. Polo has not found Its way there y6t, but will sooner or later, probably. That la a game In which natives In many parts of the world soon become expert. The great annual event In Timbuktu I* the arrival of the huge salt caravan ? from the heart of the desert, some 300 miles north of Timbuktu. The French government protects the. salt caravan by sending out 200 camel corps men with Europeans In charge. The strong escort defends this wonderful caravun from the ever-threatening attacks of the marauding Tuaregs and desert tribes. The coming of the caravan is a marvelous sight? some 800 camels laden wltJb salt and hundreds of oth ers ridden by gorgeously robed chiefs, with their various bodyguards, either mounted or on foot. The caravan re turns north with rice and grain, brought up by canoe from the 'a,"Ke agricultural districts of Gentium, Kl Walejl and Gao. ?/ a two-jstep, a meek form of more mod ern dances, when Elthel Frledrlehf rushed up to his brother and said : "Are you mad?
