A few with customary native dress and veil and a few Europeans. The rest of the large audience the men either wote: the gay red tar bouches and European clothes or the turbans and Mohammedan costume. Editor Macheras of the Arabic pa- per in Cairo, whose guest we were, told us of many wealthy and in fluential men among them. One party occupied two front boxes, and the audience stared at us as hard as we stared at theni.

But here I have written nothing of the interesting mosques, some of which were built from the casings of the Pyramids, nor of the bazaars, with their narrow winding streets, full of people, where the European is the execution rather than the rule where many Arabian Nights men and a tew veiled and rooea women wun gold . nose-ornaments and ankle bracelets constantly walk about, and merchahts sit cross-legged on rather dirty oriental rugs in the center of the tiniest shops one ever saw, some of them smoking rather dirty narghi lehs. Many of them will call out to you to come and inspect their wares. 1 haven't told you of meeting the brother of Mr. Thomas J.

Careless Shampooing Spoilt the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, If you want to keep your hair look ing: its best. Most soaps and pre pared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp,-makes the hair 'brittle, and ruins it., The beest thing for steady use is Mulsifled cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mul sifled in a cup or glass with a little warn! water is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simp ly moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess- oil. The- hair dries tiuickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. j - :You can get Mulsifled cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's -very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every . member of the family ; for months...

The university is .growing rapidly. It needs money to" expand and it is certainly worth supporting. When one sees the ignorance on every harfd, these educational institu tions which are so few here in propor tion, to ours, are like a beacon light, which may play an important part in helping Egypt to a brighter future. They say that 97 per cent of the na tives are illiterate. ' ' ' '' ' I haveiiV told" of visiting tlie'Ai' har university with Dr.' McCleneg han, - the center " of Mohammedan education of the world.

And I haven't said a word about the neatly-cemented niche in the basement of a Coptic church where Mary and Joseph and the Christ child hid in their mgnt to cgypt, nor of the bulllrushes where Moses was found. To see these we were led along a winding path to a bank of the Nile about six feet above the river. We looked over a smooth cemented wall at about 39 bull rushes. At least, the entire clump was not three feet square, and these must hye been the right bullrushes forj.thcy were .absolutely all , there werel I believed, the guide, but I reserved my opinion as to the bull rushes and cradle-hiding.

We also met some interesting Egyptian people -who entertained us in beautiful homes. We went to the races, where many wealthy Bedouin sheiks in gorgeous headdress and costly robes were seen. One robe was of hand-Woven camel's hair, like a Kashmir shawL . Here there were -. wonderful Arab steeds.

' Already Successful Although the movement is of re cent origin, it has already succeeded in putting 40 large neighborhood club houes and 360 smaller ones into op eration, mostly iu South German cities. Sufficient funds have been subscribed to insure the early erection of the large social center establish ments in the northern and eastern sections of Greater Berlin, the cap ital's two most heavily congested proletarian sections. In this connection the latest fig ures of the ministry of labor show that the expenditures for alcohol in 1921 amounted to 30.000.000,000 marks, which, it is estimated, will be doubled this year. While war conditions resulted in the decrease by about one-fifth of the use of intoxicants there has been a steady increase in intoxication since 1918. According to official sta tistics, 2,170,300.000 marks were spent on wine alone in 1919, registering a considerable increase over the pre war figure. This was attributed to the fact that wine was cheaper than before the war; that it was bought principally by foreigners, whose money was made more valuable be cause of depreciation in the value of marks, and that post-war beer was lacking in its former nourishing value. Brewers Use Foods. Leaders of the anti-alcoholic cam paign point out that, despite the com parative lack of nourishing foods in r.iirnMv tnriniy the statistical vear 1920-21, there were used for brewing purposes 480,000 zentners oi nancy. ...i,. i an1 malt? 30.000 zentners of .corn and rice meal, and 68,000 zent ners of sugar. The campaign is strongly support ed by organizations of the younger generation, with the exception of students' clubs,, the members of which still cling to their former cus toms.
