Show WHERE ALL ARE WELCOME 1 Everybody Fed In House Where Great 1 Turkish Chieftain First Saw the Light of Day. 1 A present center of interest is the ' house where Mohammed All was born, ' the great conqueror of Egypt. This bouse is malntalued by the govern- - ment in the same condition as when ' Mob.-immei; was a baby and swung in (tt'' hung from the hooks in the ! ceiling of the room where he was born. All loved his birthplace, and when he became rich and powerful he founded here a great school attended by poor boys from all the region round about. Here once a week in the great dining room everybody who comes is fed, Turks. Jews, Christians, Greeks, Armenians. Americans even no one is turned away. As I visited the establishment es-tablishment I saw great fires of logs in the basement of one of the school buildings, and over the fires pots of pilaff cooking. This delicious concoction, concoc-tion, made of rice and meat and various va-rious delicious sauces, gave forth a savory smell, and I do not wonder that many a hungry mortal who comes for a square meal once a week to this ancient foundation blesses the name of Mohammed All.
