All the art and luxury is within. lavished on the interior court and its surrounding galleries and rooms, and all that ;he outside affords is a series of blank walls, with occasional barred windows, and a green-painted door. studded with huge nails and banded with iron.
 Northward again from Rabat is Laraiche. which greets one with . note of actual western enterprise in the way of a steam tug to tow the freight lighters over the bar Its pie turesque tumble of gray towers, white walls and pink and yellow washed houses, makes a brilliant pie ture against the blue sky, but, like all the other ports, Laraiche is best seen a thing to be carefully passed over and left undescribed.
 The big, white lighthouse at Cape Spartel comes into view, the sky streaked with the smoke of steamers bound in and out of the Straits, the bold outlines of the mountains round Tarifa loom trough the haze. The silence and the mystery, the blue green nights, the golden airs and the have gone; this is high road of com merce, just round the corner lies Gib- raltar, where the people are playing tennis, drinking tea and banging out the latest comic songs on their pi- amos.
 Rounding point, the steamer drops anchor of Tangier. From the inside the orientalism of Tangier is a bit faded, there is too much of the boule- wards. or rather, of the Midway Streets of Cairo" and of Barcelonese underworld, mixed in with it. To one fresh from the rigidly Mohammedan cities to the south the difference is at once apparent; here are whole streets of Spanish, and Gibraltar Scorpions" the offscourings of every port from Cadiz to Genoa, and the Jews live where they please, instead of being confined to a ''Mellah," as the Moors call Ghetto. Here are cafe signs in French, Spanish and weird English, constant coming and going of tourists in gray tweeds and fiuttering veils, the bazaars are piled with imitation Moorish junk" manufactured in Ger many, and displayed for the trapping of the unwary. And everywhere are shifty-eyed individuals, in violently Moorish attire. who accost the stran- ger with unpleasantly leering offers to act as 'guide;" one wonders what fanatical, exclusive SaIlee would say to all this?
 But seen from the bay, before land ing, the illusion Is still perfect; a sweep of green hills, dotted with vii. las, and at their foot a mass oi gleaming white houses. One tall min aret dominates the city. few date palms thrust their crests above the maze of fiat roofs. In the harbor Is a tangle of shipping, fishing boats and coasting vessels, with lateen sails and painted prows. jostle black-sided steamers with tall tunnels; there is a horde of small boats. a swirl of white draperies and bare legs. babel of voices, and the inevitable. wearyfog stare of fierce, black eyes.
 There may be a suspicion of pose about it all. lurking suggestion that possibly Tangier has found the easi- est way of making living is to be just little more progressively itself than ever, but. at first sight. it is as truly oriental as even the out-of-the- world cities down south. between the ocean and the desert

WANTS VOLUNTEERS
IN CHARITY FIELD
Associated Body to Outline
Plans at Meeting This
Afternoon.

To get In touch with the men and wo-
men of Washington who will do volun-
teer work among the poor, the Asso-
ciated Charities will hold a meeting In
the Public Library at 4:30 o'clock this
afternoon. A call for volunteers will
be issued, and 1t is hoped that the
present number of workers will be in
creased from 200 to 800
At the meeting this afternoon the va
rious phases of the volunteer work will
be discussed. The plan OF starting a
home library for the individual families,
a scheme made possible through the CO.
operation of the public library, is prov
ing popular. A book case, containing
twenty or twenty-five books, is taken
to the home and the volunteer worker
who visits the family once a week reads
TO the children and interests them so
they eventually Will yearn for and ac-
quire learning.
That thrift among the poor Is on the
Increase is shown by the growth in
savings collections. The volunteers in
this branch of the Associate Chari-
ties work are collecting considerable
money In the families where cards have
been taken out.

of her position.

COLUMBIA-Farnsworth Lecture.

F. Eugene Farnsworth, the artist
traveller, will deliver the first of his
series of travel talks at the Columbia
Theater tomorrow afternoon at 4:30
o'clock, his subject being "Old Nuren-
berg, Salzburg, and the Inn Valleys Of
Tyrol.'
In this lecture he reveals to the
American public for the first time a
little known or traversed section of
Europe, which he considers even more
picturesque and beautiful than Switzer-
land. From Nuremberg, with its castles,
towers, churches, fountains, and forti-
fications, he speeds on to Salzburg, with
its remarkable edifices built by the
splendor-loving arch bishops in the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries, and
thence to the birthplace of that great
composer, Mozart.
The Journey continues to Kufstein,
Innsbruck and the valleys in the heart
of the Tyrolean Alps, where the natives
still wear the Tyrolean costumes, and
farms are cultivated way up near the

Fire Chief Croker
Sued for Separation

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-DifferrnCes be-
tween Fire Chief Edward F.. Croker
and his wife for more than two years
have eliminated in a suit for separ&-
tion brought by her. The papers were
served on Chief Croker last Monday.
The causes assigned by the wife are
abandonment. insufficient support, and
incompatibility.
These facts became known despite
the efforts of counsel TO keep them
secret. David NJ. Neuberger, of 501
broadway. Croker's attorney, said last
night the chief would fight the suit. al
legtnS that every act of his had been
warranted by domestic conditions.
In 1908 Chief Croker advertised that
he would not be responsible for any
debts contracted by his wife.
Next he sued his wife to recover pos
session of the Good Ground property,
which he said he had made over to her
temporarily under an agreement that
1t should be returned to him as soon
as damage suit pending against him
had been settled or dismissed.
The suit was dropped for reasons
that never became public.
Chief Croker last night declined to
talk except to say that he had turned
over all the Good Ground property to
Mrs. Croker in the hope such action
would settle their differences. His
lawyer said:
We have been trying to keep this
matter from the public Mrs. Croker
has cost the chief q great deal. Today
he is without dollar except his
monthly salary. He has been paying
her 500 a month.
Chief Croker has relinquished all

Il can be quickly removed If you will
follow these simple directions: Buy an
ounce of delatone from the druggist and
mix little with water to make a stiff
paste. Spread thickly on the hairy sur
face and let remain two or three min

use Is the following: Buy an ounce of
quinzoin from the druggist and dissolve
In half-pint alcohol. then add one-haIf
pint water, and shake well. Massaging
the scalp gently with this inexpensive
tonic promotes a healthy growth, over
comes that dry, harsh condition of the
scalp, and restores the hair to its nat

mentioned elsewhere IN these columns.

have fine, plump figure, which he will
admire. Get four ounces of parnotis
from your druggist and dissolve in IL
pints hot water, then take a tablespoon
full before each meal You will find this
the best flesh reducer you can use, and
it is inexpensive, harmless. and requires
no dieting. -
Tresses: % Evidently your trouble
lies in the soap with which you wash
your head. Nand | would advise not using
1t, for shampooing should invigorate the
scalp, add lustre to the hair and correct
the scaly condition. C2) Dissolve tea
spoonful of canthrox in a teacup OF hot
water and pour little at a time on the
scalp, rubbing well as you do: Then
rinse carefully and dry. You will find

glossy and easy to handle, while the
scalp assumes its natural healthy con-
