WILMETTE LIFE May 10, 1929 ways so that he could rush his handful of troops about and make the natives think he had an army, it was his brilliant idea that German prison.e rs should build the roads. Then it was he who unappreciated as are all genius~s in their own time, sailed out of this harbor, recalled to France, without a single salute except that fired by some English ships which happened to be there. Some day, probably after he is de~d, he , will have the recognitio~ that he deserves. It is evening now. We have seen ('nough of Rabat to make it plai~ that the promise from my balcony will be mQre than fulfilled. I have just been up on the ho!el roof whe~e Sali,. t.he place of Robmson Crusoe s capt1v1ty showed across the river like a ghostly ~iltage of white, ~nd the river itself, a flat silver band under the moon became truly the refuge of those te~rible pi~ ates of Sali against whom Str Francts Drake sailed. Close at hand, from my height an occasional light offere~ a glimpse thru an Arab doorway mto an Arab home. And from somewhere farther away, carrying with the .star!ling distinctness of sound in thts atr came the queer tinkling sound Arab stringed instruments accompamed by the steady rhythm of Arab drums. ES'rHER GOULD..S TRAVEL CO·RNLR MOROCCO "But nothing has any right to be so beautiful!" It was my involuntary exclamation on stepping out on my balcony here in Rabat, looking out on the right over the old Moorish town with its lovely gates and walls, with, 1n front of me, beyond an ancient cemetery in which a small Arab boy is perching on a grave -stone and two donkeys are taking their fill of yetlow flowers, the blue and green cloudspeckled sea. The air is crystal clear, so bright that even the sombre colors of the Arab robes seem like festival attire. The white flags on the prayer towers, signals for prayer, seem like flags of an eternal truce between this land and the sky. It was with regret that I left this morning the ugly modern city of Casablanca, for there, guests of some Engli sh friends, I had been entertained by the "English Colony" for five days. Touring is. after all, much like aquaplaning, tearing along from wave to wave and from crest to crest being touched only by the spray. But dropping off the tour for a few days is being submerged in the waters which vou have onl\' skimmed before. - And heing · ubmerged in those of Casablanca was to have an opportuni ty of seein.~ the wistfulness of a colony of intensely patriotic people exiled from home. Wherever the English settle, there is a "bit of England," turbaned servants handing about English crumpets and tea over which English voic:s are discussing the recent cold snap m London has for the observer something pathetic, the extra turn of the screw which makes ordinary things poignant. Eyen the golf course where we played ye~terday-tripping over royalty, as there were two princes, two counts and a duke on the course-had so many reminders that this was Morocco chiefly the caddies, great turbaned and bearded creatures stalking about with the silly looking bags of clubs of which, like a person caught carrying a newspaper bundle, they tried to appear unaware. Except my cadey, who, trying hard to get the idea kept rushing after my ball and bringing it up . to me with a beaming smile. He had evidently been trained as a retriever. Our onlv comfort was that we could speak our minds about them quite freely and leave them as happy as before. Pausing for a moment in modern Morocco one ha~ a chance to reflect on the marvellous work the French have done here in the few short years since 1912. Roads, railroads, the appearance of law and order, sanitation and even securitv for the casual traveller are as new as that. And most of it is due to Marshall Lyautey, that genius of Morocco whose influence over spreads the place as a great oak towers over a garden. It "ras he who fixed on the happy French colonization plan, he who saw to it that the war did not stop the work, ·who built military rail- Two RAYMOND- WHITCOMI NORTH CA·PE-BALTIC SUMMER CRUISES S.S.

Herskovits, assistant professor of anthropology at. Nortwhestern, will lead from New York, June 14. Acco~panied by Mrs. Herskovits, a guide and two native b_oys ~ho speak English as well as takt-takt, the predominant language of the colony to be visited, Dr. Herskovits will travel into the upper reaches of the Suriname river to spend six weeks studying the customs, laws, beliefs and language of the people of the tropical bush. Mrs. Herskovits probably will be the first white woman to travel into the head of the Suriname river. They made their trip into the bush last summer and report the bush negroes, descendants of former slaves and essentially of the same stock as the American negro, as being unique. This time they wilt visit the village of the headman of the tribe. Leaving Paramaribo, they will t~avel on a narrow gauge railroad for 70 miles and will then embark in dugout canoes for the journey up the Suriname. This will take about twelve days. "The bush negroes practice polygamy, but each wife has her own house to prevent family squabbles," ~aid Professor Herskovits. "Descent in the family is always on the mother's . side. The father has nothing whatever to say concerning the rearing of his children. The mother's eldest brother is the man to whom the children look as having authority over them.
