MI Fuad Feted 20 Days as Cairo Hails His Return Throngs Watch Triumphal Procession--Only Faint Cheers for British Ruler By H. I. KATIBAH (Special Correspondence of The Eagle.) Cairo, Nov. 25-It is King's day in Cairo! For 30 days the capital has with been electric lights.

decorating King the pottsets with his royal procession is passing through those streets today. Triumphal arches of wooden few thousands of electric frames blazed for the last bulbs. elaborately arranged, and some showing designs of the Egyptian "crown and flag. Huge crowns covered with colored bulbs and decorated with festoons are planted in the principal circles of the modern section of Cairo, in which Qasr Abideen, the royal palace, is situated. Every year about this time the King of Zgypt makes his return from Alexandria where he sponds the summer.

And every year Cairo spends about half a million dollars on decorations in honor of Majesty's re-entrance to the Egyrtian capital. Pickpockets Busy. From the roof of a drug store on Nubar Pasha, where we had gone almost an hour before the arrival of the royal processions, we could see a mass of colorful humanity lining the sides of the street as far 23 the eye reach. an interval of contes yards Egyptian sards in and bright red 1:383 stood at attention with their awn bayonets and kept the middle the street clear of traffic and while Egyptian police creed the swelling crowds and 1 evented them from trampling one another. out for your money," cautioned our pilot, a sapient resident c.

Cairo, "for there aren't on the face of the earth more skillful pickpockets than the Cairoeen ones." The ubiquitous Egyptian peddler is not missing this rare opportunity to part you from your money. Egyptian souvenirs, sparkling beads, pictures of King Fuad and Egyptian the flags more have humble their purveyors customers, of while ses- ame, cakes, pickles, kubaiba sandwiches and uninviting confectionery attracts a larger number The mass of humanity below where we perched ourselves on the edge of the roof, thanks to the wide acquaintances of our guide, looked like two colorful living banks of an empty stream. Red fezes and white turbans were the predominating colcr motifs, with a scant sprinkling cf gray hats and black turbans, the latter designating their wearers as Costs. Presently an officer on a motorcycle shot past us, followed by two squads of gendarmes mounting gray horses. "Some soldiers! Don't they look gallant with their white uniforms and shining leather puttees.

Look how proudly they hold their lances. I tell you the Egyptian youths make the best soldiers in the world!" This from rather handsome Egyptian girl from' the suburbs with a yellow dress decorated all over with blue, red and purple flowers. A thunderous din of "Long live King Fuad." He was saluting his subjects with a smile, and to his left was his premier, Adli Yakan Pashting A few carriages passed by, then came that of the British High Cammissioner, guarded by two Tommies on motorcycles, and followed by an. other automobile with soldiers. Scattered Pand faint applause greeted the representative of the British arm in the Land of the Nile, while some in the crowd had Ill -grace to shout, "Long live the Wafd!" RODUCERS of stage plays are wringing their hands and bemoaning the possibility of the talkies putting them out of business.

They roll their eyes to high heaven and wonder how such a thing can come to pass among intelligent people. They blame everybody and everything but themselves. The idea that the reliable old worm is simply turning is beyond their conception. For years seats for popular shows have been procurable only keep the pad, naughty speculators from coralling all the good show it had to pay through the nose for the privilege The theater box office was only a place where you were informed that there were no seats to be had except two in the last row for three weeks from next Monday. However, a speculator not far away was generally not only willing but able you as many good seats as you wanted for tonight at a tihterely nominal increase of 50 or 100 percent over the box-office prices, Not that the producers were in cahoots with the speculators! Oh, lordy, lordy, no! Perish the thought! They simply can't keep the bad, naughty speculators from corralling all the good seats.

Now you tell one! Then came the movies! Then came the talkies! Then came the dawn of the morning after for the producers! The worm, the good old reliable worm, was turning and getting from under foot! Such ingratitude! And what are the moaning Broadway producers doing to lure the public back to their theaters? Try to buy a seat for one of the season's hits at the box office! Then try a speculator! The result will convince you that they are still making hay while the sun shines. But for them the sun is shining less and less each year, and in fewer places. And as their theaters are taken over one by one for talkies they shake their heads sadly and wonder disconsolately at the fokleness of the public. Ain't it sad?

Nothing in the universe is greater than man, and nothing is greater in man than character. To be able to show man how to live-to live in such a way that the name goes down through the ages--is the shining test superiority. "Do not forget and submerge in material things all those great things which have gone before.

"The fear of the element of beauty has been a drawback in the Hebrew religion and we, too, have participated in that fear.

IN. J. Hotel Man Was a Suicide, Examiner Says Brandell Shot Self Through Head, According to Dr. Maitland Nutley, N. Dec.

24-Anton Brandell, 56, owner of the Hotel Feuerbach, who was found dead with a bullet through his head early yesterday, took his own life, Dr. Harrison S. Martland, Essex County Medical Examiner, announced last night after he had performed an autopsy on the body. Brandell's body was found by police, who became curious when they saw a collection of milk bottles on his doorstep and decided to investigate. A shotgun was found by the man's side.

Dr. Martland said that although it was at first thought that the man had been murdered, he believed it quite possible that Brandell could have placed the nozzle of the gun against his head, reached 23 inches to the trigger and fire. The bullet had taken an upward course from the temple and penetrated the brain. Dr. Martland fixed Brandell's death at around midnight, Saturday.

Carbon monoxide from a gas heater in the room was contributory cause to death, the Medical Examiner reported.

"To say that Catholic Action 13 in politics to that engaging, the treaties is -if it is permitted to say it to the father who feels himself caluminated because of his sons and such dear -a thing absolutely contrary to truth." said the Pope. The Pontiff continued that if any isolated member of Catholic Action had been found dabbling in politics he would be the first to denounce him and act in consequence. At the same time he added that even that would not be sufficient reason to accuse Catholic Action of mixing in political matters.
