Egypt to clear the path of the tourist of some
decidedly disagreeable sights. The squeamish
one, therefore should eschew, Egypt, or resolve
to accept the ugly as part of the price paid for
the beautiful.
And again. those who are sensitive to harsh
sounds should give due regard to their ears
before they launch their ships for the land of
the pyramids and the sphinxes. For the Egyp-
tian is vocal SOUL When he is not conversing
with his friends he is chatting with his donkey
his camel, and he invariably proceeds upon
the hypothesis that his nearer is hard of hear
ing. The resultant concentration is deafening.
Then the march of the centuries has brought
into Egypt, as elsewhere the motor car and il
there could be competition between countries
for the greatest clamor of horns believe that
Egypt would win easily. I had thought that
Japan ran its automobiles with the greatest
degree of din until I reached Cairo when I
found that without doubt the little brown
man" of the Far East is a mute and mufled
spirit when awheel in comparison with the
sons of Ramses.
ITO thread a motor car through the Mouski,
for an example, is achievement of high
merit The streets-little better than lanes
densely crowded. There are no sidewalks,
the pedestrian traffic is Supremely Indifferent
to that awheel. 1t takes at least five blasts of
the horn to gain admanitory attention, and
five more to command a passage. One returns
from a motor ride through the native quarter
of Cairo spent in nervous energy through try
ing to help thousands of men, women and
children from getting slain by the wheels.
But then, it is a rude anachronsm and utterly
absurd to try to see Cairo from motor car.
The only really enjoyable way to get about is
afoot, taking chances along with the natives
with the juggernauts that occasionally charge
through the congested passageways.
Next to the folks who dislike harsh sounds I
should place in the list of those who should
not visit Egypt the kindly people who suffer
with the lower creatures. Egypt, as indeed
most other Eastern countries especially around
the Mediterranean, is no place for charter
members of humane societies. Take the camel
for instance. Its means and bellows on being

noticed from time to time on the
roadside large, attractive advertising
signs printed in blue. They struck
a not inharmoniouS note, even to one VINO
thoroughly dslikeS all forms of landscape dis
figuration in the interest of trade. They pro-
claimed the attractions of Egypt as tourist
resort. One said, simply, Egypt for Health"
Another ran Egypt for Romance" another
Egypt for Sunshine" and fourth-there may
have been Others but they failed to come into
NV range of vision-read Egypt for Sport"
Inasmuch as all the Riviera camors for vlsi-
tors and on practically the same grounds as
those that saw proclaimed for Egypt-health,
romance, sunshine and sport-this intrusion OF
rival for the visitor traffic seemed to be case
of carrying war into the enemy's country But
it may be assumed that there is trade enough
for all the lands that boast of sunshine, ro-
nance, healthfulness and sportivensss
doubt whether very many of those who go
70 Egypt do so consciously or specifically on
any of the four grounds mentioned in the blue
advertising signs. The chances are that most
of them go into the valley of the Nile for con-
tact with the remote past for what in the
roadside blurb writer's parlance would doubt
less be expressed in history" Especially since
the discovery and uncovering of the tomb of one
of the least consequential of the Egyptian kingN.
whose place in the sun of modern public regard
rests solely upon the fact that by rare chance
his burial place was never looted of its treas
ures until few years ago.
1t is not my purpose, however, to analyze
the motives of those who go to Egypt or to
classify the hordes who swarm each season"
through the Delta and up the Nile, to Cairo, to
Luxor, and some to Assuan. Rather am I
moved to mention few categories of those who
should not make this pilgrimage, however they
may be drawn by reasons of health, of romance,
Of sunshine or sport and of history. There are,
roughly 10 Of these classes 10 sorts OF folks
who really should keep away from Egypt for
the sake Of their own sensitive natures.
ONE needs to be in Egypt for only few days
- to realize that it is no place for certain
types Of people. Rarely does one get away
from the ship at Alexandria and start the
perilous passage by taxicab through the maze
of mean streets that enmesh the harbor before
the inhibitions of the land begin to manifest
themselves Indeed the first glimpse of the
native populace on the pier arrayed for pos
sib,e jobs porters guides, purveyors and
Interpreters has given the first conner a hint
of the Affections that are to be borne in the
land Of the Pharaohs. One regrets the lack Of
gas masks binders and ear muffs. Rich
though ones luggage may be in travel COM
forts these items are invariably missing, and to
the first conner the lack is cause Of lament.
And as the journey extends, urban scenes
are succeeded by suburban and by rural, on the
way to Cairo, and in after days when the
tourist proceeds to justify his presence in far
and costly land, by doing his bit Of sightseeing,
the realization comes that whatever may be its
appeal on grounds of health. romance, sport,

sunshine and history, it does not cry winningly
to certain kinds of folks and that these should
in justice to themselves eschew the East in
general and, one might say, Egypt in particular.
First of all let me suggest that those with
sensitive noses should not visit Egypt. Those
tabled scents of Araby'' ever evident,
pungent and far from pleasant. Even into the
train as it courses through the Delta these
savors of the soil penetrate At closer quarters
in the Mouski of Cairo, for instance, they ere
actually dense in their presence. Yet right in
the heart of that fascinating region the Mouski,
which is the native bazaar quarter of the
capital, one makes short turning into the
Tunisian market and gets the most delightful
surprise in the prevalence of the odors of ali the
spices of the East as they are ground from
seed and bark into condiments for the tables
of the world.
Experienced travellers who have been in other
parts of the Levant in India and in China
and Japan will accept the odors of Egypt as
atmosphere But those with particularly
sensitive noses, who have not been thus intro
duced to the "stinks of the East" will suffer
sadly in their first days in the Nile Valley.

After while come resignation and inurement,
or perhaps a paralysis of the olfaetory nerves,
when q suffering nasal system yields the ghost
in surrender, and then one can begin to enjoy
Egypt
BY the same token those who dislike to see
human unpleasantness displayed in public
should not visit Egypt any other part of the
crowded Old World of poverty and suffering.

Both Sides OF Range

A glance at the geologic map
OF North America shows that
practically all the great granite
masses OF the COrdilleas lie west
Of the continental divide, thus
we have the Sierra Nevada
batholith, and the great Coast
Batholith; the Idaho. the Nelson,
and the Boulder BathOliths; and
Of these the Boulder Bathoiith
Of Montana Is the only one which
extends on both sides Of the
divide.
Now, these great granite

flow into the Pacific Ocean The great Cal
