Spiritual and terrorist leader of Palestine's Arabs, the Mufti two years ago escaped to Syria, where French authorities, never very cooperative with the British in that part of the world, allowed him to continue to direct the Palestine terrorist campaign. Fortnight ago. however, French authorities arrested several of his followers, tightened the guard around his residence, appeared willing finally to cooperate with Britain in putting down any nascent Arab rebellion. This was inconvenient to the Mufti. He soon disappeared. He was reported to have escaped to Bagdad, and rumor had it that he might go from Iraq...
...goodness in life and people, a chant of love for the scorned & rejected. He has filled a San Francisco waterfront dive with prostitutes, sailors, cops, bums, drunks, slot-machine addicts, hoofers, young men in love, old men in rags. Some of these people are as touching as his battered Arab who plays an ancient, mournful wail upon a harmonica. Some are as uproariously funny as his prodigious, W. C. Fieldsy liar (Len Doyle) who bursts on the stage with: "I don't suppose you ever fell in love with a midget weighing 39 pounds?" All are forlorn. But by means...
...make thrones totter. An orphan at nine, he grew up to love painting, history, philosophy, went to Cracow to study them. On the side he acted beautifully in amateur theatricals. He distinguished himself as an athlete, but was no bonecrusher; fenced gracefully, played keen tennis, rode like an Arab, and was the only one at the University who could swim Jagellonia Lake.

To cut off German munitions bootlegged to unruly Arabs, the British last year built a wall along the Trans-Jordan border. They have courted Arab favor (over Italian-German incitement) with some success, rely on Turkey and her army of 1,500,000 to keep the Arabs in line and help hold the Suez as well as the Dardanelles. Last week the specially friendly, oil-rich Kingdom of Iraq bought...
Author Boyle's little camel was puppyish, bumptious and a liar. Life had made his hard-working old mother cynical since the Arab driver jerked the ring in her tender mouth whenever she slacked up. She really wanted to eat green grass and drink cool water but, she told the youngest camel, "that's just one of the things that can never possibly be. ... Because your father never took out any life insurance." "What about the caravan of white camels with solid gold hoofs that goes right around the earth?" her son objected. "Hooey," said his hard-Boyled...
