DECLINE OF ISLAM

Mohammedanism is losing its author
ity as religion, particularly in Turkey, but
in other Moslem lands as well, according
to the Rev A. M. Chirgwin, a British clergy
man and writer.
Mustapha Kemal the present ruler OF
Turkey, dealt Mohammedanism a terrible
blow by abolishing the Caliphate, that
highest church dignitary formerly held by
the sultans, and repudiating the Koran as
the legal code of the country. This, to-
gether with the spread of foreign litera-
ture antagonistic to the faith, has played
havoc with Mohammedan prestige in Tur-
key, Egypt, Arabia, India and Africa.
1t, as Mr.. Chirgwin believes Moham-
mechanism is on the point of collapse, the
next few years may mark the disintegra-
ton of one of the most powerful religious
and political forces which have influenced
the world.
Founded by Mohammed, AN illiterate
epileptic sheepherder and camel-driver of
Mecca, the era of Islam dates from 622 A.
d., when with $50 followers he fled from
Mecca and settled to escape persecution
and settled in Medina, where his real pow
er rose.
His epileptic tendencies had brought
on visions whereby he professed to have
received revelations from God at various
times, these communications being later in
corporated in the Koran.
After the death of his first wife, he
took ten other wives, many coneubines and
female slaves into his household.
He exercised both temporal and spiri-
tual authority, waged war with the cruelty
common to that period, and partook more
of the character of a conqueror and states
man than of that of a prophet His own
sincerity of belief in his divine mission, es-
pecially during his later life, has been SER
iously questioned.
Yet the movement he founded had
within 100 years after his death, become
serious menace to Christendom, until check
ed by the victory of Charles Martel near
Tours in 1872, while today the adherents
of Mohammedanism number about 234,-
100000.
Like Christianity, Mohammedanism is
divided into many denominations or sects,
of which the Sunnites and the Shiites are
the most numerous

FATHER OF RURAL MAIL

Rural free delivery of mail is now so
generally established throughout the coun-
try that the farm boy and girl of today take
it for granted, and few of them know that
It's beginnings were only Sc years ago.
Perry Sanford Heath, a newspaper
man who died in 1923 at the age of 50, was
the father of rural tree delivery. Through
his activity in behalf of McKinley's election
in 1896, Heath became first assistant post
master general in 1897. With only $780,
900 of an unexpanded appropriation for
experimental purposes to begin with, he
established few rural routes. The farm
ers liked the idea and through Heaths per-
sistence Congress was induced to appro-
pirate more and more funds for the extern
sion Of the service.
AS "a direct result of his vision and
zeal, the system of rural free delivery,
which now serves more than 100000
persons. has become. one Of the greatest
benefits which the government confers up
on the public.
Every rural mail box in the land is
modest monument to Perry Heath.

HOPE FOR BALD HEADS?

What may be faint CLEAN of hope
for bald-headed persons is seen in recent
experiments with the powerful new
cathode ray, even though new hair grown
through its agency may prove to be white.
The application of the ray to a small
spot on the ear of rabbit caused the for
nation of scab. which later sloughed off,
leaving bald spot. After second appli-
cation of the ray, white hair three times
as thick grew where the original brown
hair had fallen out
So far no experiments have been tried
on human flesh, as the action of the ray is
as yet too little understood to warrant such
a risk. But if the same effect can be pro-
duced harmleSsly as was obtained in the
case of the rabbit, il may be possible to ex-
change thin growth of natural hair for a
luxuriant white crop.
This. in turn. could be dyed to any de-
sired shade--to match the clothing or the
woodwork.

DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just 10 Years
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files OF The Citizen

The suggestion made in The
Citizen yesterday by a member of
the hotel committee that the G. r.
Miller Bond company's offer to
build a hotel in Key West, with
the assistance of local capital, is
meeting with hearty approval.
One of the most prominent men
said that if the company will pro-
vide from 60 to 65 percent of the
money for the structure the rest
of the money will be easily pro-
cured. If it is the plan to erect
a modern fireproof building, it
was said, there can be no reason
why the hotel will not be in read
mess for the next season.
Key West is now a fairyland of
flowers. Beautiful roses are
blooming on every hand. Many of
the most gorgeous tropical blooms
can be seen in every garden in all
sections of the city and strangers
become enraptured with the pro-
fusion of color and the various
perfumes blended into one allur-
ing fragrance than can be found
nowhere except in southern climes
at this time of the year, and Key
West surpassesesaost other cities in
her variety Of garden plants and
