HOARDINGS AT THE SPHINX.
How an Invasion was Repelled.
CAIRO, Nov. 21.— No doubt as an in
ference that it was a fitting association to
longevity a firm of pillmakerd erected a
conspicuous advertisement immediately in
iront of the Sphinx, whose scarred fea
tures, however, are a less apt association.
Nearby there is a poster extolling face
cream. These were the first instances of
the invasion by advertisers of Egypt's show
spots. Then there appeared a crop of
whisky advertisements. The Government,
in a spirit of complete impartiality, order
ed the fire brigade to destroy the lot, but
it is a more difficult problem how to erase
the stencilled announcements on the walls
of mosques and monuments.
