The Arabs, until the coming of Mu lammed, were scattered tribes, with )o religious tie and knowing only the aw of force. They fought continual* y. tribe with tribe; and Might was •ight. Some of the tribes were pagans, iome were Israelites: some were rhrlstian, and sonic were nothing at II but human animals. Mohammed was of the Koreishite Hbe; charged with guarding the reinple of the Kaaba.

Q9BG4£' DRUG STORES Try Telegraph Want Ads MONDAY EVENING, I lie was persecuted by the Koreish- I ites of the Temple of Mecca and forced to fly to Medina. This was in 622 ot lour era. And front the hour of his flight Mohammed became the great religious power of the Arabs. He lived only ten years after that date, but died leaving millions of converts to his faith. During his death sickness he wrote the Koran, which contains all the laws for governing the social, political and domestic life of the Arabs. Laws Which Now Scent Crude DUI Much Good at That Time It is customary for the Christian critic to think of Mohammed as a seltish and sensual man. making laws which permitted him and his follow ers full license. But in truth. Mohammed gave a so cial core which elevated the social state of his people far above any condition existing among them pre viously. I'ntil he wrote the Koran there had been no law which gave dignity or sa credness to the family life. Moham med saw the necessity of some kind of protection for women and children, and for some sort of ideals regarding the responsibility of the man as a hus band and father. Crude and seltish as these laws seem to us to-day. placed beside modern Isocial systems, where woman is a prominent factor, they were progres sive at the time they were formed. Protection of Women Meant Growth of Character in Willi Aral) The Arabs were wild, untutored and scmisavage men. To give each man four women to protect and care for, and to make each man realize that any negligence toward these women was a sin against the one and only God. meant growth of character. For, until then, the women had no rights, and no protection from the man's transitory impulses. She belonged to the strongest man for such time as he chose to keep her in his tent. That was all. Mohammed reasoned that with four wives to provide for with their off spring, men would be made indus trious and provident, and knowing the tierce passions of the Arabs, and the ignorance of the women, he laid much stress upon secluding the weak er sex, and shielding the women from temptations. In the year 632, among the Arab tribes, these laws were excellent laws. But to the modern mind they seem absurd and one-sided.
