PRIMITIVE FARMING

AS we approached Cairo, the
fields grew greener and the or

ange and date groves more nu-
merous. The countryside was
dotted with native villages
where farmers, living in mud
and stone huts, clustered about
mosque and minaret, going to
their tiny fields morning and
night. The women, swathed in
black robes, plodded in the
fields, often carrying big loads
balanced on their heads, and
frequently seen along the canal
banks, washing their clothes.
The farmers still stir up the sur
face of their fields with wooden
plows pulled by an OK or occa-
sional horse. Several times far
on the horizon, and once, right
in the middle of Cairo, we saw
camels swaying along with their
loads.
The approaches TO Cairo are

unspoiled by blllboards, ram
shackle inns and hot dog stands,
and as we drove through the
outlying sections, the size of the
city was impressive, with its
million ana a half people. The
streets, almost all of them, are
paved and well-lighted, but in
the older, native" quarters, the
scene is really strange 10 the
American eye. Streets are mar
row and crooked, and overhang-
ing are ancient buildings of
stone and brick. People, dressed
much as their ancestors did
1000 years ago, joStle their way
along and the air is filled with a
babble of Arabic and a medley
of strange scents and odors.
There are goats, donkeys,
horses and plenty of dogs in the
streets. Merchants, wearing the
red fez or tarboosh, squat in
front of their little shops, sip
ping Turkish coffee from tiny
cups and smoking those water
jar bubbly-bubbly pipes. You
pass spice store and an almost
over-poWering door comes up
from sacks and jars spread
about; next you may see a
butcher shop where a couple of
sheep carcasses hang from
hooks, already being inspected
by droves OF flies.
NATIVE ARTISANS
One afternoon, one of the
ships officers and | engaged a
tWo-horse gharry and drove off
into the native quarter. When
the streets became so narrow

today that no agreement had
been reached with Marquette OF

THE Marquette people are
very anxious to play at night.
The war workers are finished
at 5 o'clock and they have no
