EGYPT OF TODAY.

Egypt Is solely a producer of raw ma
teriaL Its entire needs of manufactured
goods and prepared material are met
from abroad. Raw cotton represents
four -fifths OF the remainder. The pub
lie debt of Egypt amounts to $3.50 534, ,Ol4
and is almost wholly of foreign hold
ing. Foreign sources, too, have furnished
the capital for its commercial and in
dustrial enterprises. as well as the funds
borrowed by companies and individuals.
The charges on the foreign invested and
borrowed capital in Egypt are estimated
10 exceed those on its public debt. The
extensive foreign financial interest in
Egypt was the cause directly responsible
for the conditions that precipitated the
political crisis in 1852. AS the result of
this crisis a foreign army still occupies
Egypt, and the occupying power has ever
since supervised, and. in an advisory
capacity. administered its affairs OF
state.
The number of foreigners and those
under the protection of foreign powers
in Egypt as shown by the census of
1907. was li7.22o Greeks predominate
with a population OF s., S73: Italians.
3i.s sSS; British. 36S3; French. 1851. and
Australians 1904. All Of the foreign
population is centered in the several
large cities.
Mixed tribunals made up of a Ju-
dietary appointed by the Egyptian gov
ernment from the twelve larger Chris
tian nations have civil Jurisdiction in all
cases in which the ltigants are of diff
ferent nationalities. The law governing
the administration Of these tribunals is
a special codihed one. based on the
French civil code. Consuls and diplo-
matte representatives through consular
courts, exercise criminal Jurisdiction over
their nationals and have jurisdiction in
civil cases between persons of the same
nationality.
The trade balance OF Egypt. based on
the actual interchange of commodities.
is always in its favor. This balance,
however. is offset by the charges on its
public debt and on the foreign borrowed
and invested capital

Here is another reason why Goodyear tires hold
the leading place in Tiredom.
Another big and exclusive economy.
No-Rim-cut tires are inal-vulcauized on air-bags,
shaped like inner tubes. All other tires vulcan
lied on iron cores alone.
We cure the tires elastic air, because they are
used on air. Thus the rubber and fabric adjust
themselves to actual road conditions Every part of
the fabric bears its share of the strain.
Curing involves tremendous compression. When
this Is done on an iron core the fabric often wrinkles
This wrinked fabric escapes its share of the stran

DISCOVERED! WHY "CALENDAR |
' GIRL" IS IN CHICAGO

The real reason for the visit to Chi
cagO of Mrs. Marjorie Hamilton Cum
bingham, famous as the calendar
girl, and now proprietor of a beauty
establishment in Denver, was dis
closed yesterday afternoon, when
she appeared in court at the hearing
of Daniel DOnahoe, an attorney;
Isaac Stiefel, a private detective, and
Aileen EappneT, under indictment on
a charge of conspiracy to besmirch
the character of Clarence Funk,
former general manager of the Inter
national Harvester Co., and one of
the principals in the hearing which
resulted in Unseating William Lori
mer as U. S. senator from Illinois.
The indictment of the trio grew
out Of the $4,000 alienation suit filed
against Funk by John c. Henning.
Mrs. Cunningham made a state
ment Othe states attorney regard
ing an alleged attempt to draw her
into the conspiracy against Funk.
She said that while she was en- route
to this city from Denver, prior to the
filing Of the Henning suit, she was
approached by a stranger who said
he recognized her as a young woman
who had reason to be an enemy of
Mr.. Funk" She did not know who
the man was.
The stranger also told of his home
having been wrecked, and said that
with her assistance he could obtain
revenge.
Mrs. CUnningha mtold Funk of the
occurrence, and private detectives
were put to work on the case.
When Mrs. Cunningham came to
Chicago several days ago there were
rumOrs she was estranged from her
husband. She denied this, but until
her appearance in the Funk case the
reason for her visit was a mystery.

OSTRICH FEATHERS

Twenty years ago there were few
ostriches in captivity and most of the
plumes that adorned the ladies' hats
were taken from the wild ostrich. But
today there are great ostrich farms in
this country and abroad. the largest
being in South Africa
The white ostrich feathers are not
fully developed There are also black
and drab feathers on the same bird,
but when the white feathers are fully
developed they lose a great deal Of
their whiteness, and in the Olden days
had to be bleached
Now the ostriches are blindfolded
crate-like coop, where the black and
drab feathers are carefully pulled out;
but the white feathers are never pull
ed cut, as this would so damage the
great sockets in which the large quilts
grow that no more would be forth
coming, so the quilts of the white
feathers are carefully cut off and the
qUilIs allowed to remain for several
months, when they come out naturally
and the new feathers start.
Fifty years ago there we're only 81
tame ostriches known in all South
Africa. And in that year only 16
pounds OF feathers were exported, and
they came for the most part from
wild birds, brought down by the hunt
ers. Last year there were about $780,
600 domesticated ostriches in South
Africa, and nearly 100000 pounds Of
feathers were exported at value Of
more than a million dollars.

OLD SLAVE MARKET

In the middle of the principal thor
Oughfare of the town of Louisville,
Ca, stands enc of the most historic
little structures in America, the old
slave market. Louisville was the first
permanent capital OF Georgia, and the
old slave market was erected soon
after the first government buildings
were built in 1885
The planters in the neighborhood
were large slave owners, some Of
them old soldiers, who were given
extensive tracts of land for service in
the war with England, and the cree
ton Of such a building can be readily
understood was almost a necessity in
this remote period Of our history.
The best quality Of post oak was
used in this structure, and now, after
standing long past the century mark.
it is in perfect preservation. Indeed,
it is difficult to even drive nail into
the tough fbers of the old wood.
While the old slave market serves
no practical purpose, it is an inter
esting memorial, for it is one OF the
few, if not the only one of it's kind,
which remains to remind US OF those
PARKWAY days, when the old regime
of slavery held sway in the old south.

LIONS FOR FOUNTAINS

Most Of the things that are custom
airy with US had some good reason for
their origin, though we are apt to ac.
cept them and not inquire what that
origin was. The wafer in a great
many public fountains, whether for
man or beast, comes out of a lions
mouth. Did you ever stop to think
why lions head should be chosen in
preference to any other design? This
is said to be the reason: Among the
ancient Egyptians the rising of the wa
tiers of the River Nile was the most
important event Of the year, as it
meant life and prosperity to the whole
nation.
The rising of the waters always took
place when the sun was in the CON
steIlation of Leo, or the lion. So they
adopted the shape Of a lion as the
symbol for the life-giving waters Of
the Nile, and all their fountains were
carved with a lions head
