Natives Did Work.

AS the work was done wholly by
natives. there were entertaining mo-
ments during its progress, and the
architect was called upon to do a
good deal more than falls to the lot
of the profession in this country. The
contractor was a native from Luxor,
Awadalahh Ahmed Omar. by name.
and the organization Of the work was
purely patriarchal in character. II
the woodwork be excepted the whole
of the work was carried out by six
men. all members of the contractors
family. and three generations were
represented. The chief bricklayer. a
youth Of seventy. was Awadallah's
father-in-law, and a faithful Moham-
medan, who had made his pilgrimage
to Mecca. He ruled, not only the
other workmen. but his chief. with a
rod of iron. Practical the whole of
the three domes he built with his
own hands. In order that no one
should interfere with his special
work. and partly to emphasize his alb

mats. The whole Of the walls above
the masonry foundations were built
of sun-dried bricks made Of Nile mud

laid in mud mortar. and the four

have officers and lecturers, an official but

showing how accidents take place and
how they may be avoided, and other vivid
methods of educating the public on this
important subject. The lecturers viii visit

the Auditorium Armory and seek in other
practical ways to further the object of the
league
Besides the school children. automobile
owners, street car motormen and con
