Mecca, the holy city OF the faith,
is called by many names. Some call
il "the Mother of Purity" "the Cita-
del of Arabs" "the Holy Mosque"
Others speak Of II as the Mother of
Compassion" "the Supreme Sanctity,"
"the Guardian Angel of Ajem." The
devout never utter the word Mecca
without adding to Il some adjective
OF praise, such as the blessed" "the
exalted the great" the highly es-
tccmod." and SO on. The town itself
is about two miles In length and one
mile in brcadtk
The dirticr tHe pilgrim Keeps himself

Moslem Consequently Mecca, being
as il is the most sacred city of the
faith, is literally the flthiest In Islam.
The most important streets measure
about ten yards in width. The rest
are mere lanes, wonderfully and pie
turesquely crooked and some six feet
wide. The streets were crowded with
