- SUCCESSOR TO GLEOPATR/ The New King Is Such Only ii Name. EGYPT IS NOV RULED BY MORTGAGi Wonderful Land of the Nile When the Pyramids and the Sphinx Beat to Witness of Mysteries That Hayi Never Been Explained. Kansas City Star, . ... Fuaufl I is now king of Egypt. Great Britain recently ended Her protectorate and only a few days ago a proclamation of independence was issued in Cairo. The Egyptians have the right r to "rim their country as they please, sc \ long as the British empire's commu ' nicationa. are secured and foreigners and the Sudan protected. , And the j1 Egyptians are guaranteed the defense of their land by the nation which, since 1914, ha9 "fathered" them. v Fuad is the first independent rule* the land of the Nile has had since the . death, almost two thousand years ago of Cleopatra. One would like to think that, with his accession to the "throne," .the spzeranity that was the ' vampire queen's had been recovered; * one wouLd like to think that the place where the sphihx and the' pyramids $ abide with their mysteries had found a new son of the sun and that he would shed over It something of the spirit that the inimitable liver, as Cleopatra i chose to be called, shed over her own Alexandria. But such thoughts can be ? only fantastic, fuad is termed "suc* cessor" onjy beoause a misnomer is applied so easily and with such picturesque f feet. Her suzerainty has ?> been defiled by Persian, Turk, Saracen ,* and others for almost twenty centuries, vy Even now with the economic and poll\ tical shackles upon the king. it is 9till *> defiled as compared with the freedom which her leadership knew before Octavian entered her kingdom from ?. Rome. An Adcpted-Ohild Future. What would Cleopatra's feelings have been if she had known that, after her death, her glorious Egypt was to become an adopted child among the . 1 tuitions of tha earth, -entered by men in f full greed for power and riches, Its '""ideals and its character scattered upon the sands, under toe sun in whose hhys the Inimitable Liver basked to the great delight of her lovers? She would have been sad; there is no telling what measures she might have taken to prevent such a catastrophe. She was a sensitive woman; her emo,lions were well defined; the pride in ^er power and in her Ptolemaic ancestry was great even though she was so busy with the business of living that she let the pride take care - of itself. But if Cleopatra could have had advance knowledge of the fate of her Country, the pridq would have been - stirred into a glowlnfr fire. Plutarch relates an Incident that typifies the spirit of Cleopatra, in his r "Ltvee." After the passing of her own Marie- Antony and the conquest of Egypt of Octavian, nephew of Julius Caesar, she learned from a young man in Octavian's forces, who turned -y informant as a tribute to the queer's beauty and i,ev wiles, that she was to be sent out of the country with her children. She made her last oblations to Antony, at his totnb, and write a letter . to Octavian asking that she be buried with Antony. Messengers to Her Rooms. wt." Octavian suspected that the queen might commit a rash act, and sent n messengers to her quarters. The door broken down, Cleopatra was found on -her bed of gold, dead., At her feet was Iris, one of her faithful women. Attempting to adjust the queen's diadem was Charmlon, another attendant, who was on the verge of ' death. One of the messengers, on seeing the sight, ask?d Charmion: "Charmlon, was this well done?" And the reply was: "Perfectly well, and worthy a descendant of the kings of Egypt." While it seems 'unquestionable that Cleopatra would have been unhappy? madly so?to know that her country was to pass out of her dynastic supervision yet she was to blame, in part, for its passing out. In the fourteen years that she and Antony were associated they planned for the union of Rome and Egypt. She was intent, no doubt, in maintaining her sovereign prestige; she wanted to remain a queen. But she wanted to remain the wife also of Antony, with him and her ruling not only her own kingdom, but Rome as well. And that, in part, came to be after her death. Octavian made a Roman protectorate of her land? after Antony died, after she* killed herself, the union which she long had struggled for was effected. A Contrast of Ways It remains only a funtasy to think of Fuad as a successor of Cleopatra for ^ another reason, setting aside the facts that there is no dynastic or other dl* rect descendancy. The reason lies in a y contrast between the way things were done then and now. Arthur E. P. Brome Welgnll "The Life a.id Times or > Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt," writes: "It would appear that Antony in^ vited Cleopatra to sup with him on the following evening, but the queen a seems to have urged him and his * sijity again to feast with her. When the guests departed, not only did she give to each one the couch upon which he had laid and the goblets ? which had been set before him, but also presented the chief guests with ? litters, und with slaves to carry 4 them?while for the lesser lights she * provided horses adorned with gold2" en trappings, which they were bld4 den to keep as mementos of the bant quet." / Roses Two Feet Deep, o i fcnni t ,!j entertained the Roman - ?f ' officers at another banquet; and on this occasion she caused the floor of the saloon to be strewn with roses to I y - . fV* V.-'v . ?'?

BAN ON WOMEN SMOKER8 * ______ Error of a Clerk Rai&ea Big Commo tlon in New York City. New York city has been tremendously stirred by what has since turned out to be a kind of an April Tool Joke. Police Commissioner Enrlght on Monday issued orders for members of the police department to arrest any proprietor or managfer of a hotel, cabaret or other place of public enter* \ i r * i tainment who permits women to smoke in their establishments. Following these orders policemen immediately began a round of the oity giving warning to' proprietors of cabarets, restaurants and other places where women were allowed to smoke. The supposed new law created a furror over the city and raised a mighty protest among the women' smokers, until Tuesday when it was discovered that there had been a mistake in the matter. Subsequent developments are described in an Associated Press dispatch of Tuesday as follows: New York, March 28.?Police Commissioner Enright today lifted the ban on smoking by women in public as suddenly as he clamped it down last night, when he learned that Alderman McGuinness' anti-smoking ordinance had never been passed by the board of aldermen or signed -by Mayor Hylan. x Daniel W. F. McCoy, an employe in the city clerk's office, was led forth caparisoned in sack cloth and ashes as official "goat" for an error that had set pro and even anti-smoking women on the war path from the Battery to the reaches of Harlem. McCoy, it was explained, was charged with clipping the official-city record for resolutions and ordinances that have been adopted and approved, by the mayor and sending them along to the proper officials for enforcement. McCoy still was to.o much overcome by the wrath that had descended upon his head to explain just how he happened to include the anti-smoking bill in his list of ordinances adopted and approved. No Corner on Ivory. Citv Clerk Cruise rallied to Mc Coy's defense, however, ajid intimated f ASHE Fertilize HIGH K i FERTII IL.tUP (Rtg. U. S. Pat 3 FOR Si A. H.

L. L As a broadly that the clerk's office by no means had a corner on "Ivory.' ' > Had Police Commissioner EnrigAt or his aides read the purported ordinance carefully, he declared, they would have discovered It was not a proper document as *lt did not bear the stamp of the clerk's office certifying that it had been approved by the mayor. News that it was all a mistake came like a reprieve from the gallows for proprietors of scores of places where gratification of milady's passion for the soothing weed was the chief source of bread and butter revenues. Fashionable smoke shops for women have sprung up In Fifth avenue, Broadway and other advanced centers while Greenwich Village had come to depend almost exclusively on smoke rings to produce an atmosphere of Bohemianism?since the passing of the "cup that cheers." But the ordinance making it a crime for proprietors of public places to let women smoke?loosed upon a thunderstruck town last night by squads of j Commissioner Enright's flrtest?did not stop with spreading gloom in ad vanced. places In Many Walk*. It even 'had its effect on downtown cafeterias where stenographers and women clerks gather for luncheon. The smoking "evil" the ordinance was designed to check has spread to New York women in many walks of life. Taxicab drivers were beginning to worry, too, for fear their conveyances might be ruled "public places" and banned . as smokeries for fair fares en route home from, the theater ?thus causing a switch to the subway route. Alderman McGuinness, father of the ordinance that had a hectic life from sundown to sunrise, was almost the only New Yorker discoverable today who seemed to regret its passing. Flappers and ex-fl^ppers who were caught in the act last rtight by enforcement squads and ordered to throw away their fags, told the uncomfortable policemen everything they 1 thought they could say and still keep out of durance vilo. Restauranteurs and cabaret keepers when served with notices against the new "crime" spluttered and swore and talked about going to the courts to knock the "outrageous" ordinance in the head. Prominent .women, many of whom personally abhor the smell of a cigarette, rose to champion the rights of their smoking: sisters, denouncing the measure as a terrific blow at personal liberty and predicting it would result only in a greater wave of smoking by women?just aa, they said, the prohibition kiw had started people to POO 1 r Works I 3RADE 1 .izers ii o a standard Not Down III ?s-) to a price I I \LE BY 11 iynum 11 ILL, S.

The defendant is also enjoined "from returning as dishonored any . check payment for which in exchange : r drafts by plaintiff banks, or either of 1 them, bas been tendered under the / provisions of said act and defendant J . refuses to accept the same," also from I protesting for aon-payment any check payment for which in exchange draft 1 ?
