CAIRO: ANCIENT CAPITAL
ATTAINS NEW POLITI-
CAL IMPORTANCE

VI EgyptS capital attalnS new pOlitlca
Importance as the administration sea-
of the more liberal home rule granted
:, the ancient empire by Great Britain.
4 Cairo, Queen Of the Nile Valley
the paris Of the Levant," or "the dia.
mond stud on the handle of the fan
OF the Delta" as your imagination pre-.
fers, has about the population Of Bos-
ton, a record of disorders that makes
DoiSheVism nOuveau-anarchy, and q
picturesqueness all its own.
From the citadel ramparts the visit
or receives the best introduction to
Cairo, that unforgettable view-the an
cient city at his feet, a vast panorama
Of houses and palaces and novels,
hecked with cupolas. minarets and tow
ers; the island-1otted river and the
.verdant Nile valley ever widening to-
ward the north, yellow cliffs to the
east, and beyond them the desert. The
sea Of sand suggests illimitable space
until the faint outlines of the pyramids
against the horizon turn ones thoughts
from space to time.
Descend to the streets of Cairo and
encounter bedlam. "City Of the Ara
bian Nights" perhaps, but certainly
the days loose q thousand and one
noises. There are the rattle Of carts,
cries of the water bearers, moaning of
camels, braying of donkeys, whirring
of taxicabs, jsngling Of coins in the
open bazaars, continual shouts from
pilots of this traffic medley, such as
"thy foot, sir" or Ito thy left, Oh
Chief" all in. the native tongue, Of
course.
Gorgeous colors of every hue and
shade assail the eye-a post-impres-
sionistic fanfare of prehistoric color
schemes. The poorer the Egyptian
the more ragged; the more rags the
more colors. Then again the Arabs
denote their families and dynasties by
turbans Of distinctive colors. TO tell
a prophets scion from q priest Of to-
day, or one dervish order from an
other, or any Of the countless dynas-
ties and sects apart, requires study
Of turban lore as complicated as the
numerous insignia worn by American
soldiers returned from France.
The richer women, attended by serv-
ants, may be seen in carriages, faces
yelled to their eyes, eye lashes and
lids, fingers and exposed toes darkened
with henna, and bedecked with ear
rings, anklets, beads and bracelets.
Poorer women 60 afoot, also yelled,
CARRIED in plain robes highly sugges-
tive Of Mother Hubbards."
In the street crowds, too, are the
beggars whose balloons serve the pur-
pose Of the monkeys Of our organ
grinders; snake charmers, vendors Of
the ubiquitous scarabs and tiny craven
images, and the Berberine bead boys.

Two Babes Killed by Bolt
Buried in Yard by Parents

The bodies of Jennie Stahur-
ski, nine years old, and her
brother Edward, two, killed by
a bolt Of lightning, were found in
the yard in the rear Of their
home in New York city, buried
up to their heads.
The family believed this old
world superstition that, by bury-
ing victims of lightning in this
manner, the electricity would be
drawn o 1t by the earth.
Physicians convinced the grief
stricken parents with difficulty
that the children were dead and
not stunned, as they believed.

renee Olson, were before the board of
supervisors on Tuesday for another
try-out on retaining a county farm
demonstratOr for another year. but
the supervisors stood pat and said
once again, nay. The action of the
supervisors unquestionably represents
the wishes of vast majority Of the
citizenship of the county. There is
just sort OF aching now way down
in the stomachs Of the pecpe that it
is not bad idea to take time to digest
at least some little of the thousands
Of tons Of advice which has been so
freely dished out during the pat few
years. Perhaps it may be a bad idea
not to have an expert to talk and
direct farming in the county during
the year 1921, but by far more than
half the farmers. and other citizens
do not think SO. The idea is often ex-
pressed that it would be we'll for the
farmers to try walking, figuratively
speaking, alone or without crutches,
that 1t will not do to just keep on
teaching people unless they assimilate
what is taught. So it is that the year
1921 is to be q year Of assimilation.
No doube the very high rate of taxes
and the high assessment of the county
have much to do with giving root to
this sort Of an idea, nevertheless, II |
is pretty well ground into the heads OF |
the people.

Text Book Editorial
Hon. w. A. Winter fdvOrS Legislative
Inquiry Into Book AdoptIon...Wants
CHANGE In Naming Commission
Editor Sentinel:

Editor Sentinel:
Permit me to express my apprecia-
ton of your recent editorial on the
school book question. You have rem
dered a valuable public service in
the sunlight of publicity" on this
important matter.
l do not konw or allege that any
wrong or unlawful act was done Isl
awarding the school book contracts,
nor do intend any assersion against
any of the gentleman composing the
text book commission. Insofar as /
konw, they are above reproach. But
: this question is of SO much impOr-
! tance to the people of Mississippi,
that in my humble judgement, the en-
tire transaction of awarding these
contracts should be thoroughly in
vestigated at the EARLIEST opportuni-
ty by an impartial and fearless
Legislative committee. If no wrong
full act was done, the members of the
commission have nothing to fear
from an investigation; if any con-
tract is shown to be unjust and un-
warranted, then the people are en-
justice.
1t is q matter of common know
ledge that the members of the text
book commission are appointed by the
govern or, and that only his personal
or political friends are honored with
appointment. This system is wrong
and vicious, and the law should be
amended so that the men of women,
who are empowered to bind the school
book buying public of this state by
five year contracts, should be chosen
-hv and - di~c..ly sesycs.@s'a~.S0 tii
people whom they serve and repre-
sent. With this idear in view, /
suggest that the law be so amended
that the eighty two 1922 county sup
erintendents of education shall con-
stitute the textbook commission;
that they shall serve without extra
pay, excepting the necessary travel
ing expenses, to be paid out the
state treasury; that they shall meet
in the State Capitol onece in every
five years, and award the contracts
after full discussion and investigation
of all propositions submitted to them
that all hearings and proceedings
shall be open to the press and public;
that a two thirds majority vote of
all members in attendance shall be
necessary to choice of any book or
awarding of any contract; that they
shall choose and adopt all text books
for all public schools and high schools
in this state. Of course objections
can be urged against this plan, but
l am of the opinion that the weight
OF the argument is in its favor In
regard to the proposed change in the
law, invite suggestions and critisms
from yourself and other citizens, in
terested in the public welfare.
While on this subject there is ano-
ther suggestion want to make. and
that is that the power of appointing
the trustees of our State College
should be aiken out of the governors
hands. 1t should have been done be-
fore now, but it is not too late to
make an effort to accomplish that
result.

Services
for 1920 Graduates

The Baccalaureate Services held at
the Armory for the Class Of 1920 of
the Bogalusa High School, Sunday
morning, May %, was one of the
most impressive ever held in the his
tory of the city schools. To the
strains of a march played by the
Y. NJ. c. A. orchestra, the graduates
marched down the aisles Of the build-
ing where they have labored and
studied so hard for just this occasion.
Superintendent Ratliff, in his off
cial position as head of the Bogalusa
schools, introduced to the assembled
audience each Of the speakers in his
turn. Rev. T. w. Talkington, pastor
of the First Baptist Church, gave the
invocation, after which the audience
was delighted with the strains Of a
saxophone solo played by j. L. Green-
way, director Of the 7. NJ, G, A, Or
chestra.
Rev. A. ]. Gearheard, pastor Of
the First Methodist Church, delivered
to the tWenty-three graduates one Of
the most impressive sermons of their
careers. Reverend Gearheara took
for his text the passage from 3ere-
miah GIG, the lesson thought icing
oThat though the broad and easy
road be easier to start on, the really
successful people in life were the
ones who took the narrow path and
walked with God; those the world re-
members best were not the ones who
took life as it came, with never 9
thought for the morrow nor the
rights of others, but the good people,
the ones who set such an example be-
fore men that their names shall live
forever" The sermon was espec-
tally fitting and will be long remem-
bered by both the congregation and
the class to whom it was delivered.
At the request Of Secretary D. ".
BIayney the audience rose to sing
two verses of '.My Country IT'S Of
Thee" and receive the benediction
from Rev. G. II. Maury, pastor of
