MOSLEMS FLOCK TO MECCA
 FOR HOLY DISCREPANCIES

CAIRO, (By MaiD-Pilgrims are now converging on Mecca, their sacred city and the birthplace of Mohammed. Thousands are travel ing from all parts of the Moslem world to be present on the day of Sacrifice, sometime this month. Egyptian Mohammedans have dis patched the sacred carpet to Nee ca with elaborate ceremonial and prayer.
 Since the buriel of the Profet Moflammed, more than a thousand years ago, Christians have been forbidden to enter the Holy City, which is surrounded with great mys- tery and veneration. But in spite of this interdiction, sixteen Christ ians are known to have entered the city in disguise. Death would have been their fate if they had been detected. Thus far no Am erican has set foot within its sa- cred walls. the Foreigners who have pentratd the city have been mostly Englishmen who spoke Arabic and disguised themselves as priests or peasants.
 On arrival within a hort distance of Mecca the pilgrim discards his ordinary clothing and assumes the garb of a "Hajee"-a garment con- sisting of a white apron with a piece of cloth thrown over the shoulder. Sandals may be worn, but the head must be kept uncov- cred.
 In the city itself certain ablutions are performed, after which the Black Stone" is kissed, and the pilgrim runs seven times round the mosque. After special prayers and genuflections he then drinks from the Holy Well, and once more kisses the stone.
 On the following morning there takes place the quaint ceremony of pelting the devil with stones, fol- lowed by the sacrifice, when a sheep goat, COW. or camel is offered ac- cording to the pilgrims means. This concludes the pilgrimage.
 The meat of the slaughtered ami nal is prepared for use on the re turn journey, and the pilgrim re ceives a certificate that he is now a "Hajee" As mark of distinc- tion te thereafter wears a green band around his headdress, which proves to all the world that he has endured .he hardships of the pilgrim age.

TYPHUS DANGER THREATENS
 IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

26.-There is danger of typhus fe- yer in Southern California and the southwestern portion of the United States, according to pr. L. NJ. Pow CTS, of Los Angeles, Calf, who ad- dressed the seventy-fourth annual convention of the American Medical Association here today. Dr. Powers said:
 "The first recognized and recor- ded case of typhus fever in South ern California occurred in the sum- mer of 1916 when many Mexicans came to this section during a civil war in their own country. Many of them were of the peon class and came from districts of Mexico where the disease was endemic. The first case seen in Los Angeles came from laboring camp of the Santa Fe railroad in Arizona.
 Soon after the first appearance of typhus in California the United States government established quar- antine and disinfecting stations at the border. Together with the state they obtained cooperation at the various railroad camps along the diff ferent railroads in the state in delous- ing the inmates of the camps, there by preventing further extension of the disease.
 There have been reported to the state board of health twenty-eight cases since the spring of 1916. Of these, twenty occurred in Southern California. The United States Puplic Health Service and the State Board of Health by prompt activities sue eessfully prevented epidemics of this disease.
 Tn Los Angeles in the last eigh- teen months several cases have oc- cured among a different class of people from those who first have brought the disease to southern California. All of those who have had the disease during the last eighteen months were residents of the city and many of them were ordinarily clean and free from vermin. but they ! had visited Mexican settlements or had travelled on puplic conveyances.
 By studying the histories of the victims We see they were taken sick at different times in different sec tions of Los Angeles. So far as we learn, there has been no source of infection among this group of eases. Evidently each case was infected by ! the louse, but where or how the in- fected louse got onto those patients, we do not know. Nor do we know how long 2 louse will live in cloth ing or in house Nor do we know how long, after having been infec- ted, the louse can convey the dis ease.
 There is danger of the disease becoming endemic, particularly if a mild form is introduced, which might not be recognized on all oc- casions, thereby injecting localities in different cities, and the necessary precautions would not be taken to arrest and prevent the extension of 1he disease. IL is, therefore, the duty of each community to be on
 
 guard against this disease and to adopt such measures as will prevent it's spreading and becoming endemic. The public should be fought the necessity of preeaution against this loathsome insect because it conveys not only typhus, but also other dis eases. The puplic is not aware as to how typhus fever is transmitted consequently, the people are ignorant of the necessary means to be taken to prevent this disease from becom- ing endemic in their community.
 Each community can and should
