Egypt's Famous Mosque.

Egypt was long ruled by sultans, one
Of whom has given his name to what
some consider the finest specimen of
Saracenic architecture in the world.
This Is the mosque Of Sultan Hassan,
the pride Of modern Cairenes, which
was built about 1860, partly with stone
taken from the pyramids. SO delight
ed was the sultan with the beauty Of
the design that he cut off the right
hand Of the architect to prevent him
building rival edifice. !. In the walls
there are, or were, some cannon balls
fred from the neighboring citadel dur
ing the French invasion Of Egypt.

Guard Marrow Passage.
Ever since the German submarine ac-
tivity began in the war zone around
the British isles wonder has been ex-
pressed that the great stream of trans
ports carrying British troops and sup
plies to France has apparently flowed
on, unchecked by the undersea craft Of
the kaiser. Only once since the war be-
gan has the Berlin official bulletin re-
ported the sinking Of transport by a
submarine, but London promptly de-
MED that any such thing had happened
and all the evidence at the time went to
show that the submarine captain made
mistake in claiming such success.
The German failure to interfere with
this vital traffic of the foe was explain
ed by travellers reaching America from
London and Berlin, who had oppor-
tunity in both capitals to speak with
men in high official circles. -
Contrary to the general notion that
protective lane Of torpedo boat destroy
ers and other warships is maintained
by the allies across the English chan
mel, it is learned that there has been
stretched from Folkestone to Cape
Gris-Nez wire cable netting, with
meshes eighteen inches square, The
cable is clamped together in sections.
It is submerged to depth Of about $50
feet and kept in place by anchor buoys.
This submarine dead line" the Ger
man U boats cannot pass.
Carefully Guard Narrow Passage.
A narrow passage left open, accord
ing to the British admiralty announce
ment, for merchant shipping by way of
the Downs and Deal, is carefully guard
ed by torpedo boats and torpedo boat
destroyers:
That the German submarines have
been unable to get at the allies troop
ships and supply ships beyond the sub
merged netting is explained by the fact
that their 5000 miles cruising radius,
while permitting them to pass through
the North sea and around the British
isles and return to their bases, falls
short just before the protected area is
reached.
The German government has never
stated how many submarines it has
lost. The English admiralty also has
maintained silence on the subject, men
tioning only such cases as resulted in
the capture Of officers and crews Of the
German q boats, whose presence in
England would need explanation.
Travellers from Berlin, however, who
had access to officials in authority there,
said that it was admitted by competent
authorities in the German capital that
fourteen German submarines had been
lost up to three weeks ago. The conjec-
ture is that many of these may have
come to grief in the meshes of the
British cable netting. Travelling at a
speed of six to eight knots under water,
these ships would thrust their way in
extricably into the tangle Of steel be-
fore they could be brought to a stop
and freed.

CHURCHES AND BREWERIES

The American Contractor, a jOurna devoted to the building trade, in a recent issue, announces that whereas in 1906, the breweries of the county spent in buildings and extensions $14,578,000, in 1913 they spent less than $3,O0O,0O0.
 But the amazing part of the story is that whereas, in 1906, the churches of the country spent $5,632 ,OOO in build ing operations, in 1913, they had chang ed places with the breweries and had spent $14, ,S7O, 5O6! Think of the churches of this country spending five times as much for buildings as the great breweries.
 And for the first four months of 1914 the record was even more amazing, for in this period the breweries spent only $429,OOO while the churches spent $4,3S9, ,9S6, over ten times as much.
 The thing seems incredible until one stops to think of the time when he saw the last brewery built and the last church. Then it doesn't seem SC queer. Dallas, (Tex) Dispatch.

 two and one half miles of road work, beginning at MaXey's southeast cor her and extending to Mir. Cumming ranch. All the roads over which the R. F. D. passes should be put into ike shape. The roads properly leveled and bordered, and then irri- gated and dragged would give the valley 1oadways of which one may be justly proud.

HEAD OF THE FIRM"
 BY ARTHUR B. BAKER
Copyright 1915)

When 1 was young, Ambition said: Step up and be the boss, and take hand in helping spend the profits and the loss. A man of your ability your intellect and health, should not accept a measly wage while others roil in wealth. Your great originality would make this business hum, till twenty girls could hardly count the dollars as they come"
 1 bought the business from the boss, with one installment down. He shook my hand delightedly and hastened out )f town. 1 gave the foreman orders 70 speed up the whirling wheels, and ut out all such foolishness as shutting down for meals; and from my incubat- ing brain there soon began to hatch great chances to squelch competitors and make them hard to catch.
 And now that I've installed myself as lord of all the works, seem to be the only employe who never shirks. My labOrers who like to think that they are working fast, are slower than a sailing ship that's lost it's only mast. And as I watch the coffers of the poodle and the tin, I find the stuff is going out as well as coming in.
 The creditors upon my trail are com ing fast and hot, my erstwhile calm, brow is wrinkled in a ilnut [ find the path to affluence is sprink- led thick with hills; I borrow money rom the bank to pay my laundry bills. l But ah, my wife struts happily, le- locked with frill and floss, her lite's | gratified-she's welded to he boss.

UNIQUE SERVICE IN
 JURGLES QF AFRICA

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 25.-Spe cial to the Yuma Daily Examiner by Ida Clyde Clarke-On the native work, CTS conference Sunday a unique ser vice at the OyO churches was held
 under the Mango trees in the Mission garden, writes s. G. Pipnock These trees are quite large and the thick foli- age affords sufficient protection even from the midday sun in Africa. More over, each tree in the garden had for the writer a message, for they had been planted and reared with care through eighteen years.
 Ruskin says that flowers grow only for those who love them' If this is true of trees, then these trees must have been greatly loved. In the shade of the trees, chairs, benches and mats had been placed for the missionaries and the members and friends of the four churches under the present super vision of Brother Lockett.
 As the time of service drew near, bands of people came in from the viii lages-Fidili, ten miles away; Flora, three miles; and Awe, two and a half miles. At the appointed hour, Brother Duval led the singing, native brethren and Brother Green led in prayer, and I read the second chapter of Romans in the vernacular.
 Between three and four hundred peo- pie were present and the reading of the Word, with brief explanatory sen tences, was in itself a means of grace.
 We all felt that it was good to be there as the message was unfolded to us by the Spirit We shall not need a picture of that gathering to keep it from our memory.
 During the collection, reflected that the last crowd that 1 had seen in that garden was in 1907 when two hundred carriers came to carry us and some or our goods to Ibadan. In the brightest days that we ever saw at Oyo we could not hope to see such a crowd of earnest Christians as this day had gathered for the worship of God.
 In the evening the scene was repro duced when Brother Adediran of Abeo- kuta preached, and at the close of his address we all gathered around the table of the Lord to eat bread and lrink wine in memory of Him who died to save sinners.

HOW ID LIVE
 ONEHUNDRED YEARS"
THIS IS THE NAME OF A NEW BOOK BY EUGENE CHRIS
 THAN, F. s. D.

Eugene Christian. F. s. D., the worlds greatest Food Scientist, has just published a new book called How to Live 100 Years"
 This book tells you what to eat according to your age, your work ana the time of the year. It teaches you how to select, how to combine and so as to establish perfect digestion and assimilation of food and perfect elimination of waste. In other words, it teaches you how to cure all stomach and intestinal disorders by removing their causes, which Is wrong eating.
 If you have indigestion, gas, fermen- tation, sour stomach or any such dis orders after meal, this book tells you how to put the remedy on your table at the next meal
 Dr. Christian shows that all animals how to proportion your food at meals except man live about eight times as long as 1t takes them to get their growth. If man should do this he would live nearly 200 years; but civi- Iized man dies at the average age of 39. He begins to lose his teeth, his eyes and his hair, and drops into his grave only few years after he is grown.
 Dr. Christian shows that 22 per cent of all the human beings born into the world die before they are one year old. Twenty-Five per cent more die before their fifth birthday, and more than half of the human race die before they are twenty-five.
 All other animals on the globe live eight times as long as 1t takes them to get their growth. Man breathes the same air, drinks the same water, lives under the same sunshine, but differs from his brother animals only in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows cOnclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be on account Of his eating habits and he has proved that his theory is true by curing over z3,OO0 people within the past ten yearG by teaching them what to eat and how to eat. How to Live 100 Years" gives the secret of his methods.
 This book does not disarrange or upset the family table. It teaches the housewife what foods the meal should be composed of, so as to make them harmonious and perfectly and healthy.
 This book Is beautifully bound ir yelum, and gold lettered Send ont dollar to Dr. Eugene Christian, 213 West 79th Street, New York City, and you will receive this life-saving book by return mail, and if 1t is not worth it's weight in gold your money will be refunded to you.

It is a distinct disappointment to
 Washington that the president has given up the Panama trip, particularly in view of the fact that a big part of the official set expected to go to 5he Isthmus to participate in the big celebration. And yet there has been distinct approval of the decision of the president not to leave the country Colonel GOethals will be sailing back lO the Canal Zone in short time, and though he may miss the crowds that threatened to pour down upon his yet there is every evi- ience that he can handle all kinds of matters of peace or war that may come up.

Among the "self- made" millionaires of the United States may be found some of the most intollerable snObs and unpitying aTtocratS that inhabit the face of tic earth.

But why ex- pect such results, when we as a 'self made nation" are today pOking the same sort of contemptious scorn at South America from which we so long suffered.

FURNISHING FOREIGN FINANCE
 At the outbreak of the war the Wash ingtOn government nipped in the bud attempts to finance the warning coun- tries on the other side of the Atlantic However, the opportunity has proven too great to be passed, and J.

Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Less than a hundred years ago, in fact since father was a boy" there was an irritating feeling that Europe and the old world poked fun at the United States. Sliding down the pole of time the main in terest of the people of what was formerly termed the "Ef- fete East" in the people of the Mississippi valley related to their eScapadeS with the Indians, and every one west of Ohio was supposed to wear a blanket of brilliant hue.
 The Eastern impression was that the people on the Western plains and across the Rocky mOrntaiaS were most ly cowboys, except those who were cattle thieves, and ole Judge Lynch was the best known character in the entire "wooly."
 But nowadays little Willie is gaining a different idea c American civilization, and he knows that wherever the Stars and Stripes are hung that it is a nice place, and tha the people and their customs are much the same; therefore Boston, St. Louis, Denver, Butte or Berkeley sounds like freedom, civilization, goo breeding and home, Swee home to young America, no matter whether he be the lii tie child of an unemployed beggar in New York or ar overpaid congressman in Washington, D.
