ANERIGANS VIsIT NOORS GHIEFTAIN El Hussan Despises Reading— . Women Do the Work Washington, D. C. June 24 Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic with Mrs. Grosvenor and daughter, Miss Lillian, have just returned on | the “Homeric” from six w2eks abroad during which they motored 2,500 miles in French and Spanish Morocco and 1,000 miles in South- ern Spain, The French Protectorate, Dr. Grosvenor said, has built in Moroc- 0 more than 15,000 miles of 5nr-“ taced road and many thousand miles of dirt road during the last s.years. Wid: and straight avenu s radiate in all directions from the ' capital of the Protectorate, pene- trating even into the High Atlas | Mountains which has peaks as high as the Matterhorn and the loftiest sumniits of the Alps. The French | have planted trees for almost the entire tength of these roads, on both sides of the roadway, employing | hundreds of thousands of eucalyp- tus, poplar, locust and plane trees. | Visits Moorish Chief Dr. Grosvenor followed one of these roads just completéd to | Khenifra, in the High Atlas, where | is the rosident of El Hassan, a| Moorish Chief who can muster 15,- | 400 horsemen and who owns 5,000 cattle, 8,000 horses and 20,000 sheep. The Chief's tent of black cloth woven from camel and goats' hair. in which Dr. Grosvenor was enter- tained measures 90 by 150 feet, the | entire floor being carpated with purple rugs and the walls decorated with handsome draperies woven by | the women of the clan. ! El Hassan is one of the 14 sons | of. the late Moorish Chief, Maho | Hammoa, who long resisted the French advance. One day all his sons appeared at the French camp and surrandered whereupon the French commander sent word to him that as his sons had laid down their arms, it would be wise for him to follow their example. The old chief replied that he had order- | ed his sons to come in and render allegiance to the French, but that i1e was too old to change his habits. He continued his defiance and was | soon afterward shot and killed b men commanded by his own sons. By making his sons surrender 'hv! old pasha saved for them his vast property and ensured that one of them hecame his successor as chief. Think Literacy Effeminate | “El Hassan can ecither read nor write, such accomplishments being | regarded by the Rerbers as too ef- | feminate for the Chieftain of 15,000 horsemen,” Dr. Grosvenor said. “He employs secretaries to keep the tale ot his flocks and herds. Shortly before our visit the French. on com- plétion of ths road over the moun- tains, had presented him with a powerful automobile which he f{s legrning to drive.” | At Foz Dr. and Mrs. Grosvenor were entertained by the Governor | General and Countess de Chamburn, the latter is the Mister of Nicholas | Longworth, Speakbr of the House; | the former is a direct descendant of | Lafayette and once was military at- tache of the Frepch FEmbassy in | Washington. At their palace they | met a general professor of aviation | who had won great fame several | years before their visit by !n\'in:.'i the lives of a beleagured post by ! dropping from an airplane bundles | of ice. Day after day, the general | skilifully eluding the Moarish gun- | ners. had maraged to replenish the water supply of the besieged Freneh by dropping ice Inside the fort untis the garrison was relieved by rein- forcements. Had Running Water Before Paris “Fez is probably the most inter- | esting place in Morocco.” Dr. Gros- | venor continued. “It is a city of 150,900 peopl: and is probably near- | Iy two thousand years old. Tt ccn- | tains many splendid examples of | ancient Mootish art and architec- | ture. Tt has a water supply system | and running water that was install- | ed many centuries before Paris or | London kad running water. The af- fairs of the city are directed by the hereditary Pasha of Fez who ap- noints il the policemen and eity | officials and administers justice | withont any irterference from the * Freneh, | roperty and life are so secure that a murder is a ten years sensa- tion. Shortly before our visit an American from Washington had his | pockets picked while in the bazaars which are always as crowded as | New York subwazys in the morning. | He reported his loss to the Pasha— ten one hundred franc notes, $40. ! Society, ! | comfortably astride { baby and the | the tropical diseases | belief, th | ciras along the coast | heartily. Her citi Betore sundown every bill had been recovered and the pickpocket and his confederates were in jail. Debt- ors are imprisoned for failure to pay their obligaticns, and the insane are confined in a mad house with an iron ring around the neck and chained to the floor. ‘Women Are Burden Bearers Women probably hold in Moroc- | co a lower place than in any coun- | try in the world. You see them bent | double carrying on their backs for i many miles huge packs of fodder ,for the horses and cows. Men | ride stallions only, for mares do no | work and carry no loads because their strength must be saved so that they may foal strong healthy colts. But no burden is too heavy for wo- men. You will see a man riding his horse or donkey and his wife trudging be- hind in his dust and carrying his family belongings. see no discontented fe- “rushing labor has been thefr lot for countless generations and they accept it as stupidly and you | patiently as the donkeys. The French policy is not to nter- fere with the customs. the dress, the lands or the religion of the people. They have built hospitals for the natives in all the large cen- ters and are training native nurses. They insist on vaccination and hy- | gienic safeguards. In their research laboratories they have already made important discoveries relating te peculiar to Morocco, more particularly * in dy- sentery which is so troublesome and <o little undeestood in all warm latitudes. Motoring in Spain After leaving French Morocco, Dr. and Mrs Grosvenor motored through Spanish Morocco, visiting Tetuan and Ceuta, and then crossed the Straits of Gibraltar to Alge- cirase. Contrary to the prevalent v found the motor high- ways of Spain excellent with the re- sult that th had a comfortable and most enjoyable ride from Alge- to Malaga, thence over the superb mountain passes behind Malaga to Granada where they visited the Alhambra in which Queen TIsabella gave her jewels to Columbus to finance kim and sent him on his historic voy- age: then they motored through continuous olive orchards for sev- eral hundred miles to Seville where is Columbus’ tomb, to Toledo and Madrid. Spain 1= a remarkable country and particularly interesting to mericons because of her historic associations with our continent. Her veople look happy and are prosper- ous and the visitor is welcomed cathedrals, land- scapes and mountain ranges are in- describably beautiful. “f was in Southern Spain when Lindbergh made his wonderful flight to Paris,” Dr. Grosvenor said. “There everycne was profoundly af- fected by his feat and by the ac- counts of his personality. They re- gard=d him and his achievement as the symbol of what America sig- nifies to all people, namely spiritual courage and practical ability. Noth- ing is more absurd than the report that America is hated abroad. Our country is genuinely admired and respected by the everwhelming ma- sority of the masses everywhere.” French Grow Tobacco Under Difficulties Troyes, France, June 24 (A—To-; baceo growing in France under the supervision of the state is a difficult operation, it was brought out here at the seventeenth national cénven- tion of French planters. The delegates came from all over France, but principally from the southeast and central sections, and represented 41,000 planters. As the manufacture of cigars, cigarettes and smoking tobacco in France is a government monopoly, inspections of the growing crop are requent and inspectors are legion. *lanters are told how much acreage cach may devote to tobacco and how many plants shall be raised on each acre. There are frequent inspections during the growing season to see that only a certain number of leaves grow on cach plant. The inspec- tors pull off all leaves over the specified number allowed.
