to France, but excluding those the-
oretical claims, this section of the
sphere (commonly referred to as thd
world) belongs to any and all races
and nationalities. A more hertrno-
geneous assortment of diversified
peoples could not be found at the
International Economic Conference at
Geneva when that austere body was
going full blast.
This is an international city, infest-
ed with about sixty thousand homo
sapiens. Now the definition of an
international city is a little obscure
and vague, but the gist of it is that the
city is tax-free on imports and ex-
ports; and regardless of your citizen-
ship, you may be tried before a judgej Afghan caterer responded sluggishly
from your respective country for any to my order of veal cutlets, and
crime that might be committed. [brought me a slab of camel. I in
Abyssinia and Nigeria, all mixed to-
gether in a seething mass of both
blasphemous and reverent humanity
with the reserved Britisher, curious
American, expostulating Italians,
sloe-eyed Spaniards and pleasure bent
Frenchmen. Occasionally a European
drops a hint pertaining to the pro-
fitable slave traffic. All are thrown
together in this maelstrom of tur-
bulent life, a phantasmagoria of bril-
liantly colored costumes and conglom-
eration of native dialects . . . Such is
the city of Tangier.

AS in every other place ever con-

my first self-imposed duties is to eat.
(That habit was contracted so long
ago that its basic origin is dim in my
memory.)
I entered a Moorish restaurant to
partake of the provender offered. Its
fare was written in Spanish, and the
prices were written in French. An

A. J. Hoff who rubs e small county!

farm demonstration agent, “The cot*

Several accounts on my books which
had run up to $150 and $200 and gone
unpaid for a long time this year been
paid in full. I am in favor of regulating

idignantly made him take it away, and blems indicative of his austerity, while
Divorces are effective merely by the
irate and displeased husband’s state-
ment: “You are divorced. Beget thee
from.my house!” Divorce is also ef-
fective automatically when either
party renounce the Mohammedan
faith.
When a wife becomes widowed by
reason of her husband's death, she
automatically becomes a social out-
cast for a certain number of years,
during which time she is not to com-
municate verbally with any other
than her immediate household, nor is
she allowed to show her face.
THE inroads of civilization are hero
resisted, which adds to the pictur-
esqe and ancient character; but even
so, the taming influences of European
culture are beginning to be felt. This
was brought quite forcefully to my
attention by the peculiar sight of an
Arab Shiek driving haughtily into
town from the vast Sahara in an im-
ported limousine. With great diginty
of bearing, he sat in the tonneau,
dressed in the full regalia of his tribe,
long flowing white robes bedecked
with sparking jewels and golded em-

unconventional repast, I paid the

and received English money in change.
Outside once more, feeling very
worldly and internationally minded,
I purchased a Turkish fez from an
Egyptian v®ndor and paid for it with
Portugese escudos, spied a veiled and
burnoosed Druid woman passing by,
whirled to get a snap-shot of her

THE Sultan's mansion is still main-
tained in all its pristine splendor, a
magnificent survival of Mooris
architecture at its best. But the ol
Sultan had to abdicate this place some
few year* ago because he insisted on
keeping all his sixty five wives in
spite of the French government's in-
junction to decrease the number of
his spooeee until e plurality oeased
to exist, hr else betake himself

w
capture, and more difficult to express,
but it’s magnetic existence cannot be
ignored; the strangeness and topsy-
turvy environment is not pleasant
even though one is fascinated by the
unpredictable happenings. I want to
return to this cesspool and dumping
ground of all nations, yet a logical
reason for that desire cannot be
given.
The city itself is a maze of sun-
driod, low stucco buildings, bleached
to a blinding snow-whiteness by the
glaring North African heat The
streets are narrow, dirty and foul
smelling, devoid of all plan or design,
crowded with stunted and overloaded
asses, souvenir vendors hawking their
wares, half naked and dirty street
urchins begging for cigarettes and
coins, vailed women, dark and taciturn
Arabs stalking mysterously about
with long cat-like strides, snake
charmers recklessly wielding their
slithering reptiles, and Indian fakirs
gesticulating wildly In an effort te
attract profitable attention. Heat glar-
ing sun, noise, clamour. The savage
rhythm of native trumpets and tom*

his retinue surrounded the car and fol-
lowed it at a dog trot. It was quite a
contrast from the days of yore when
he galloped across the barren fast*
nesses at the head of his thundering
horde, ravaging, pillaging and mur-
dering. I wondered if he wore spate
and shaved with an electric razor.
I’VE always had a hankering to
wobble across the Sahara on th« hur-
ricane deck of a double humped camel,
but if I don’t do* it within the next
few years, I’ll probably be fined for
impeding traffic. ■ ^
This will be the last yarn dealing
specifically with Europe and AfrlcO ;. ,
for some time to come. I’m now back
in the young U. S. A. where automo-
biles,, gangsters and bootleggers make
life adventurous for the sedate citizens
and bring prosperity to the undertak-
ers, and where philanthropic politi-
cians exert themselves to see that as
few citizens as possible are encumber-
ed with too much cash. ^ r^'
