CLEANING UP CAIRO
WAS AN AWFUL TASK

The cleansing of the Augsan stables
of Greek fame is being more than
eauaied by the British government,
which il now making n determined
effort Ia clean UP Carrie. that
Egyptian city which for generations
has made Europeans shudder and hold
their noses nj the mere mention of the
city's name. Carlo. like other oriental
cities. has never possessed any seay-
engcr system aside from the primitive
one nj throwing all rubbish and refuse
of every description just outside the
entrance ta every housa. whether hnsel
ar ralae.
The result has been filthiness beyond
the imagination of any American who
has never personally visited some
Asiatic or African city where similar
horrible sanitary methods We're pur-
sued. The British government is now
tackiing the job ri keeping Cairo
clean. So far Ii cannot be truthfulls
stated that the city has ever been ac-
tnally cleaned up once. much less
kept clean.
For instance, the only fuel available
for the great mass nj the population
is garbage and similar refuse. Con-
seanentis. the officials are not able to
collect all the garbage and throw il
away. They are forced To try and
work out some scheme whereby the
refuse of the city can be stored and
preserved for fuel. The enormous diff
fieulty of solving such a problem i'm a
tropical climate is obvious to any
reader
The British authorities now propose
tn keep in cool vaults all the rubbish
collected. Also il is suggested that

kept in that state. This would pre-
vent fermentation. At the public baths
most citizens of Cairo Also have their
beans cooked i'll big pots and the
native population may eat a few
other things. but beans constitute their
real staff of life. and about 80 per
cent OF their important diet.
These public baths in the past have
