MOROCCAN
FAIRS

TUST OUTSIDE the walls Of Mar
y rakesh, an Old World city Of
Morocco. almost untouched by
modern civilization, is a place
called Gueliz. In the interior Of
this city is the famous square OF
the Jame-el-Fnaa.
This square, although 1t isn't
really a square but an irregular
open space, holds the great min.
aret of the Koutoubia mosque,
which is famed throughout the
Moslem world, and is the scene
Of the great twilight.
At the approach Of sunset, the
dust.laden air becomes luminous,
and the great Koutoubia appears
to be a mass OF molten metal.
1t is this picturesque and beauti-
full hour that the inhabitants
have chosen for their market
hour. The scene is that of a
typical fair. The fakirs and mer-
chants ply their trade, and each
booth is the center OF a vast
crowd OF lookers-on or buyers.
There is the snake-charmer
Bare-footed, he dances to and fro,
to the music of the reed flute,
around the snake. Fascinated,
the snake approaches him, poised
as If to strike. Sometimes, he
evene does strike at his garments,
but the snake-charmer remains
unscathed.
Then there is the story-teller.
The Moroccans, as indeed are
most Orientals, are extremely
fond Of stories, and as a result
they will visit one story-teller
night after night until the story
is finished.
Then there are dancers and
conjurors, beggars and fakirs OF
every description, ready to mulct
the unwary spectator.
Howeve, the shops and bazars
hold many beautiful. curious or
interesting objects. And as q
result. the place is always
thronged with visitors from all
over the world.

The hot jealousy which one

when there isn't "a woman

This is the cold appalling fear
that grips every woman in her

HIGHER WATER
RATE FOUGHT

Strong opposition to an increase
in water rates is expected at the
meeting of the Washington Board
of Trade, in the New Willard
Hotel. tomorrow night.
Asa e. Phillips, consulting engt-
neer, for years District Sanitary
Engineer, will report that the city
has had surplus Of $250,000,O0
on water rates for several years.
and, therefore, is not in need OK
higher rates,
Francis r. Weller, also a consult
ing engineer, today wrote the
boards executive committee that no
need for increased rates had been
demonstrated.
The board win be told tomorrow
night that it is unwise to tax the
entire District for water mains 10
be laid in outlying sections, and
also will be informed that. should
the rate increase become effective,
q law would be required to reduce
the rate later.
Leaders in the boards fight
against a higher water rate, 1t is
believed, viii lay a considerable
part of the blame for the proposal
at the door of Engineer Commits
sioner j. Franklin Bell, who re-
Gently was taken to task by the
board for falling to call District
citizens into conference concerning
the proposed extension of Four
teenth Street through the Walter
Reed Hospital grounds.
The board also is to consider re-
uorts from committees on the pro-
uosed Sunday closing law, sub
