LONDON, Feb. 14. (jP)—Princess
Mary’s poultry farm at Goldborough
sf is so profitable that she is now plan

established a similar farm at Frog

Princess Mary’s farm is operated I

The first evidence of the Klu Kim
Klan activities in Seward was wit
nessed last evening at the conclu
sion of the first performance at th<
Liberty Theatre. As the patrons filed
out into the street they were start
led to see at the head of Fourtl
Avenuue, a large flaming cross. Tli<
significance of the demonstratior
was not learned but it was conceded
it served the purpose of informing
the public of its existence in this
locality. Generally the burning ol
a K. K. K. cross signifies a warning
to the lawless element.

WITH PASSING OF THE BATHS
ORIENTAL WOMEN LOSE GOS
SIP HOUR
CAIRO, Egypt., Feb. 14. (fP)—The
Turkish bath, one of the most pic
turesque of Oriental customs, is dis
appearing in Egypt, swept away by
the march of Western civilization.
There is much regret among the
middle class Egyptian women, for
to them the Turkish bath was what
the back fence is to American women
—a place to meet and gossip.
The Egyptian baths generally con
sist of two large chambers—.the outer
a changing room, the inner for wash
ing. In the women’s bath on a busy
day the possessor of a handsome fig
ure receives compliments of a frank
ness which would be embarrassing to
American ears.
The rital of the “hammam” is rig
orous. A woman is seated on a stool
while several pails of hot -water are
poured over her. Her hair is then
washed in pure olive oil soap ofrm
Nabulus, which is fiinally rinsed off
with more hot water. This operation
is repeated several times. “Kha
wa” earth is then rubbing into a roots,
followed by more dousings with hot
water. A lengthy combing of the
scalp with a thick-toothed ivory comb
is followed by a massage with henna
and “Khawa” earth.
The body is then massaged with
a thick glove made of black goat’s
wool and lined with white linen. The
feet are rubbed with pumice stone and
the face and hands writh specially pre
pared marrow bone. After an inter
val the whole business is repeated,
ending with a brisk scrubbing by a
girl attendant armed with a w-ell
soaped loofah and finally more deliges
of hot water.
A cool-off with more coffee and cig
arettes ends the ritual.
DIM BILL PRODUCES
ACRES OF TESTIMONY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. (^—Thir
ty-seven acres would be covered if the
pages of testimony taken by the
House irrigation committee on the
Swing-Johnson Boulder Canyon dam
bill were spread out side by side.
This estimate is made by Y. B.
Walters, the committee clerk, who
says that more than 4,200 pages, mak
ing 17 volumes, or testimony were
taken during the four years spent in
considering the measure. The bill,
recently reported to the House, pro
poses construction of a big flood-con
trol, irrigation and power dam at
Boulder Canyon on the Colorado
river.
Walters also figures that the com
mittee held 77 meetings of which 24
were executive. These consumed 145
and a fraction hours, and the day the
bill was reported, Rep. Swing of Cali
fornia, one of its authors, remarked:
“The bill was considered thorough
ly in every detail.”
