It is hard.1 to, imagine that there can be a longer pipe-line in the world than the pipe which is to run Jrom Kirkuk, Africa, for ,1500 miles. This pipe-line is to carry oil from tho new field at Kirkuk to Haditha, where the line will fork, one branch going to Tripoli, the other to Haifa. The pipe will be made up of steel joints about 50ft long, and special lorries are-being made in London- and Watford to carry vthem. With thoir ten wheels and thei*-flexibility the lorries will- look like giint «aterpiljars moving across the desert;,!'but every caterpillar wi}l be capable of hauling- ten tons "over some of the worst country in the. world, ■'■'■■
