Sprinkle the Streets.

Cairo has its best weather in the
early and late summer. In these
seasons climatical conditions are
ideal--it Is not too hot nor too cool,
but just right,
However, residents of Cairo can
not obtain the maximum of pleasure
from the fine weather because Of
dusty streets and unciean sidewalks
and that these obstacles have been
permitted to interfere With the
health and the comfort OF the people
has been due to the indifference of
the city officials under whose dlrec-
ton this work should have been
done,
Last Sunday was an ideal day--a
day FOR out-of-door exercise and
rearly every citizen tok advantage
of the weather. Thousands prone
naded and hundreds rode, in autos
and other conveyances, but the day
was spoiled by dust storms. A stiff
breeze blew throughout the day and
those PEOPLE who ventured out re-
turned to their homes, their lungs
and clothes filled with dust.
The condition of Cairo streets
emphasizes the necessity for a
change in the system of doing
things. Under the new plan, which
