TEHERAN, Iran, Dec. 2 Delayed.
The largest umbrella of security
unfolded in modern times covered
this isolated capital of Iran during
the presence here of President
Roosevelt Marshal Stain and Prime
Minister Churchill.
Every known means of deception,
weapons of authority and the KEEN
est brains of three nations were
employed.
There had been reports that Ger
man agents recently had been
dropped among the tribes, and
though most of them were reported
to have been captured, steel-hel-
meted Tommies, black-bearded
Sikhs and grim Gurka
soldiers were stationed at every
conceivable spot.
Fully-armed American military
police lined the principal streets and
squares.
Tanks of Strategic Spots.
Armored cars, tanks and recon-
naissance squad cars were placed in
strategic spots.
Pilot cars and groups of armored
motorcyclists raced intermittently
through the streets at terrific speed,
their sirens screaming.
Fighter planes and light bomDers
circled overhead regularly, begin
ming over the center of the city and
gradually widening the circle until
they we're lost in the haze of the
surrounding mountains.
Although the citizens witnessed
this performance daily for six days,
| few of them ever saw the visitors.
When the three leaders met Mon
day at the Russian Embassy, busi-
ness in the city virtually was sus-
pended for five hours.
Streets Cleared Of Traffic.
| Pedestrians, along with cars, carts
and all other forms of transporta-
/ ton were cleared from the streets.
/ The pedestrians were herded into
doorways, alleyways and shops
/ Tanks then took up positions in
the center of the streets and at all
intersections. Burlap barriers, SAIL
sheet size, were hung across exposed
avenues, with armored cars taking
up positions behind. Guards with
submachine guns lined some routes.

Hotel in Shadow of Pyramid

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Mena House, site of the
Roosevelt Churchill Chang Kai =

ioned, 45-room gray stone hotel
Of no particular architecture, set in
the shadow of the great Pyramid Of
Cheops on the skirt of the Libyan
Desert 8 miles from Cairo on the
west bank of the Nile.
1t is a f1at-roofed, two-story, nom
descript building which might be
found and never noticed anywhere
in the world. But Mena Houses IA
nous location makes it q landmark
to be remembered. Every traveller
who goes to Cairo, presumably, goes
out to view the Pyramids sooner or
later. His trip takes him past the
Mena House.
Named for Pharoah.
The hotel is named for Mena. ira :
ditionally the first ruler of a united
Egypt, whose dynasty dates back to
about 1900 B. c.
The hotel is famed for its attrac-

February the nights are sometimes
unpleasantly cold, but the weather
is perfect in November, the latter
part of March and April.
The hostelry boasts a variety of
amusements. 1t has an open-air
swimming pool and many tennis
courts. There is a golf course laid
out on the sands Of the desert. In

Hotel Not Modern.
The Bedouins who take tourists on
their trips to the Pyramids on camels
or donkeys always wait for fares
outside Mena House.
Mena House Is over a half century
old. Its accommodations are mod

compared with modern hotel.
1t is near the spot where Napoleon
told his soldiers just before the

COMPENSATION
BOARD PROVES
ITS WORTH

The experience of the city's Work
mems Compensation Board during the
past year was very favorable. One
hundred and four nOn-compensable
cases were reported, the great major
ity OF which were of minor nature
involving no lost time. Only eight
cases were reported involving loss of
time of more than one week and in
two of these the disability period
amounted to only eight days.
Receipts from compensation prem
iums were $S,317.99 and expenses were
$3.64.53, leaving an operating profit
of $4,713.46 However, $500 of the ex-
penses paid during the fiscal year
was for accidents occurring during
the previous year.
The year 1912 marked ten years ex-
perience Of the WOrkmen's COmpensa-
ton Board. Prior to 1899 the city In
sured its compensation obligation
with a private company, the Insurance
premiums amounting to very sub
stantial sum. During 1882 the city set
uD, by ordinance, q WOrkmen's Com.
pensation Board and assumed Its own
risk. No capital was put into the fund,
as 1t was hoped the regular premiums

would be sufficient. The results Of the
experiment have been most gratifying.
AS a result OF prudent administration.
the fund showed a surplus on Septem-

In the spring Of 1912, the board
sponsored an amendment to the city
charter which would create by charter

which existed then only by Council
ordinance. The people. by an over
whelming majority, voted to adopt the
amendment at the election of April 9.
1912. Thus, the board became part of
the basic law Of the city; the assets
of the fund were secured against i'm

to city employees were strengthened

ana, at that time the only localities In
the hemisphere where the plan. was
being cultivated. Intense rivalry ex-
isted between the TWO cOfoiiess, and
both opposed the desire of other conn
tries to obtain shoots of the plant.
The story of how the berries finally
got TO Brazil, now the worlds largest
coffee producer, is a favOrite in that
South American republic. In the mid
die 1720s French and Dutch Guiana
officials called in Brazilian. Palheta
by name. to help settle a territorial
dispute. 4 persOnable man, Palhela
found the wife of the governor of
the French colony pleasant and 70
mantle companion. She, to show her
affection. presented him with huge
bouquet at banquet her unsuspecting
husband gave in honor Of his Brazil
ian guest. In the center of the bOu
quet were some ripe coffee berries.
The Brazilian took theem Immediately
home. planting them in the fertile soil
at the mouth of the Amazon. where
they flourished quickly.
Wholesale development Of coffee
planting in this hemisphere did not
begin until after the berry found its
way to Brazil. Even then it was half
o century before the BrazilianS be-
came interested in large production.
Cultivation Of the plant had by then
spread to the plateau Of Sac Paulo,
pOw the heart Of the Brazilian coffee
country. where the soil and climate
are excellent for production. In the
early years of cultivation. slavery still
existed in Brazil. Plantation owners,
therefore, found 1t cheap to clear huge
areas OF forest land and prepare the
soil for coffee paintings.
There is more than enough coffee in
he western hemisphere for all the
American peoples. But until shipping
lanes between the American republics
are free of Axis Subma rineS and
shipping space is no longer needed to
carry fighting materials to war fronts
there must be this paradox: Coffee

not voting within the last two years.
The city clerk points out that the
state election laws provide now for
permanent registration. In other
words. voter once registered is reg

vote at least once every two years, or
If the voters name has been changed
by marriage or otherwise, or If the
voter has changed his or her address.
In the case OF change Of address or
failure to vote within a two year per-
iOd. 1t is only necessary to notify the
city clerk and the address will be
corrected and the registration cOntin-
ned. Where change Of name has &C.
Cured, 1t Is necessary to re-register.
