Preliminary borings near the town of Meklnax hare shown such promise that modern machinery which will drill to great depths line been ordered. French Morocco, though streaked with the rugged helghta of both the High Atlaa and the Anti Atlaa moun- talne. and dotted with r a il dry pin In« and deserts which give a latge part of Ita area a forbidding aepect, has sev- ernl large cltlee of great commercial and political Importance In northern Africa. t'aaahlunca and llabat are the lead Ing coast towne and handle a large part of the colony's sea trade. Casa blanca was founded by the Portuguese «bout a decade before Columbus die ' covered America, but the newcomers held It only a abort time until the na tives muted them and set up a Moslem stronghold. Casablanca was occupied by the French In W07 and began Im provements that have made It the show city of Morocco. From a city with a population equal to Hint of Elgin. III.. Cnnnblanca hns grown by leaps and bounds until It now hae nearly as many Inhabitants sa Knnnna City. Mo. The pedestrian could easily Imagine himself In a European city were It not for the A fri cans of midnight black, chocolate brown nnd tan complexions. One-half the Inhabitants are Moslems: slightly more than a third are French. Span ish and Italian, and other Europeans, nnd the rest are Jews. The price of a room In ono of Cnsn- blanca's hotels not only affords Euro pean comforts hut also the equivalent of a ring side circus seat An autumn bile rolls by with a prosperous French huslness man or a fez bedecked Turk ish merchant; wealthy sheiks stroll along In their flowing white garments and tightly wound turbans, holding each others' hands; dignified French offleers In medal bedecked uniforms are ousted from the paths of little grain laden donkeys with barefoot Moors astride, and now and then, plodding along In awkwnrd fashion, three or four moth-eaten, cud chewing camels pass hy, often followed closely by a small future “ship of the desert." Thickly sprinkled among this seeth ing mass of humnnlty of various breeds and blends, are the everpres ent noisy street hawkers, darting here and there with their home-made rugs, sweetmeats, hammered brassware, and "whatnots." Bad Harbor Was Mads 8afs. Why France poured a fortune Into Casablanca was a mystery to Europe. It had one of the worst natural har bors on the coast. The low. rocky shore lay open to the strong west winds nnd the lashing wnves of the Atlantic. No river runs through the city to the ocean. But the approprla tlon was pnrtly used for the construc tion of breakwater* nnd harbor Im provements that have been dom inant factors In the city's development to the second largest city In the pro tectorate. Oceangoing vessels thnt anchored perilously off the coast can enter Casablanca’s port today. Casablanca nlsn hns electric lights nnd power nnd modern water works. Railroads now connect the city with Morocco, (Marrakesh) the capital of the protectorate ami North African points. Pally air service Is maintained between Cnsatilanca nnd Toulouse, France, nnd planes fly every two weeks to Ornn. Rabat was built almost N00 years ago by the Inbor of 40.000 Christian slaves. The city Is located on the northwestern const adjacent to the old city of Sale, a former lair of cor sairs. There are two present day Rabnts. French Rabat nnd the native town. French Rabat Is like a bit of trans planted Europe. It hns wide streets and smnrt little villas like those of the Illvlera. In Its Directs are women wenrlng Parisian clothes, huslness men In sack suits nnd smartly uni formed French officers. There are telephones nnd electric lights and mo tor cars. Everything Is modern and efficient and over 13,000 Euiu.icons live within Its hordprs.
