On the entire North American contin- ent there are only approximately 25 genuine chinchilla coats worth up to $50,000 each. Since 1923 when the first six doz- en chinchillas were brought to the United States, in an attempt to breed in captivity the animals which were fast becoming extinct in their own land, chinchilla ran- ches have sprung up in parts of the continent. Now there are more than 20,000 of the ani- In Canada the Canadian Chin. in Toronto, has opened the new in- dustry and, with its ranches throughout southwestern Ontario and the Niagara Peninsula, sells pairs of chinchillas to would-be fur farmers throughout the Dominion, Demand For Breeding "The United States and now Can- ada are the only countries in the world with chinchilla industries," said Mrs. Cecily Brown of the Can- adian Chinchilla Company. She predicted there would be no fur market to speak of in the fur for at least five years because the demand for breeding is so great Mrs. Brown, who was in the fur- farming industry herself for 14 years, said women in several parts of Canada are raising chinchillas. She said she believed more of then would eventually go into it. "A woman is gentle when hand- all | ling animals, she grows to love them and when she takes on a job she goes into it heart and soul." It costs $1,650 for one pair of chinchillas, but as they breed at least twice a year the farmer should be more than repaid within two years. The animals are clean, with no odor, and are vegetarians, They are not hard to look after but Mrs, Brown said new farmers should spend several days around the com- pany ranches, learning how to eare for their animals, before taking them out. Two years ago there weren't more than two persons in Canada rais- ing chinchillas but today there are more than 500, most of them in Quebec and Ontario.

A large "tomb" for Mother Eve has been demolished and the gates to the burial ground have been bricked up. A European, who has lived here for 35 years and has become a Mos- lem, said research had brought out this story: Jedda is the Red Sea gateway to the Moslem holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Pilgrims landed here, but didn't tarry. The Jedda merchants pondered this motorist-like habit and decid- ed something should be done. "What we need here is a holy place," the merchants decided, Jed was Arabic for grandfather, = The feminine form would be Jedda, and after all wasn't Eve the grandmoth- er of the human race? A tomb 360 feet long was con- structed and the merchants sent their servants among the incoming pilgrims. The servants passed the word that the thing to do in Jedda wag to visit the tomb of Mother Eve and offered to act as guides, A cupola was built near the cen- tre of the long tomb and into the cupola wall the merchants' guides would drop a few gold coins. The pilgrims, seeing this, decided the tomb must be a very holy place, followed suit. The merchants collec- the cash. The Wahhadi, or Puritan Sect of Moslems, of which King Ibn Saud is a member, feel strongly against graven images and looked upon the visits to Eve's tomb as paganistic. In the 1920's, the Wahhabi holy men had the gates walled up, and later the tomb was torn down, Now all that remains is a walled area with bricked up gates, MUTILATED PLAQUE The chapel at West Point con. tains a memorial plaque to Bene- dict Arnold, but his name has been gouged out leaving only his rank and date of birth. i...
