Cruising the Mediterranean
BY Margaret Paine.


For eight unforgetable days We
fingered in Cairo revealing in the won
derful days and the more wonderful
nights. Each day was filled with gold
en- sunshine of an intense brightness
and each night was a starlit mystery
of deepest azure Clear nights and
radiant days that in Egypt make glad
the heart of man." writes Robert HIGH
ems, one who has deep understand
ing of the spell of Egypt So perfectly
and completely filled was the time in
Cairo that not even the taking of
single diary note was allowed to mar
the absolute enjoyment of it all. There
was not a moment of boredom. What
time was not taken up with activity
could be spent with pleasure and
profit sitting passively on the open
terrace before Shepherds, watching
Arabs and Egyptians and the ever
changing crowds of travellers from all
nations.
One day full of intensely interesting
sights included, first, visit to the
Egyptian Museum. Here were the real
statues in stone and wood that we had
seen pictured and of which we had
read so much; the wooden Sheik-el-
Beled the seated cross-iegged scribe;
the bright gold and gems forming the
treasures taken from Tutankhamen's
tomb, and the delicately carved ala
bastor jars from that same rich col
lection. The specimens of the very
ancient Egyptian arts filled aisles and
galleries and halls, and only glimpse
was possible on the first visit, but for
once we knew that we would have
time to come back and wander about
at will.
We were driven to the Musk bazars
where brass. beads, rugs, perfumes and
all sorts of Oriental ware was dis
played in tiny shops on narrow wind
ing streets not open to vehicles. Up
a steep hill and through a stone gate
way guarded by a British soldier in
kilties, our horses drew us to the
Citadel which crowns a hill and COM
mands sweeping view of Cairo and
the branches of the great Nile. The
mosque of Mehemet Ali, within the
Citadel enclosure, was built with ala
bastor taken from the facing of the
Great Pyramid. A sight most cheer
ing to our souls and one not at all
Oriental, was the encountering of a
large group Of world seeing" sailors
from United States battleship.
We were shown the part of the Cita-
del into which in 1911 Mehemet Ali en-
ticed four hundred and seventy Name
lukes and shot them down That was
the beginning of a general slaughter
of the Mamelukes to end their auto
cratic oppression of Egypt. Next we
were taken to a building below the
Citadel where the Mamelukes were
buried in strange sarcophagi with
pointed tops like house roofs and with
two or three little towers attached to
indicate the number of bodies con-
tanned therein.

ACTION IS NEEDED

There appears to be considerable food for thought
by the county supervisors in the situation existing in
the northern end of the county relative to treatment
of emergency hospital
If we informed correctly, the county has an
agreement with the Ell Centro hospital whereby it is
reimbursed for treatment of emergency cases. and be-
of this practically all such cases. matter where
they happen in the county, brought to Ell Centre.
No such agreement exists with the hospitals in other
communities.
1t often happens that when accidents happen north
of Ell Centro the victims subject to cruel and
ortuousy prolonged periods of suffering before they
can obtain necessary medical attention. This is de-
porabe condition. 1t is horribly unfair the victim
and it is also unfair to other hospitals there is
certain amount of adverse reflection cast upon them
when they refuse to accept where they know they
cannot hope for reimbursement.
We understand that this state of affairs is to be
brought the attention of the supervisors In the
terests of humanity hope that it will be- and that
it will receive their earnest consideration 1t makes no
difference whether victim is white, black brown or
yellow when he is suffering he is entitled to speedy
medical attention That fundamental rule of society
its fulfilment is to slip back to the age when human
suffering brought delight to fanatics.
County expenses are heavy, and the supervisors
justified in seeking every means to keep them at
minimum. Yet they also bound to serve the people
of Imperial county to the best Of their ability and
from what we know of them personally would be
willing to state that they will find way to take
of this condition and that emergency cases
cared for speedily. Not of the five supervisors
would knowingly permit little child to suffer need
lessy, yet that is what happens every and then
under the present condition. They would not wish to
adult suffer, yet that also happens.
IT economy must be practlced in other quarter
fair enough but let be said that Imperial county
is heartess and is calousiy Indifferent to the call of
humanity.
