Our Novels.
Tropo DtrcIr

From Puck.
 Our novels are usually much ado about nothing. The ado is well done, on the whole but still it's about nothing.
 The people in them aren't so atrocious- ly bad, only they do make themselves seem rather unreal by the seriousness with which they take the tangled web we weave when we practice to write a seller.
 When nature is too much for us, we hold the mirror up to species of su- premature, conceiving demigods of lath and plaster, and making material of their queer loves and hates and hopes and fears. That is tolerably safe ground, be- cause nobody understands the psychoio- gy of demi-gods, and one mans guess Is as good as another.

Where Cancer Starts.

From the New York Press.
 A big British doctor finds that the parts of the body in which cancer starts such as the lower lip. liver, etc, are highly electric and radioactive. piece of the lower lip if laid on a photo-flm, darkens it the same as does radium, but if a piece of the lung-cancer seldom comes to the lung-is put on the photo-film nothing happens. So the doctor argues that high ly electirc flesh is the main secret of cancer. Woman's flesh is more electric than mans; cancer is commoner in women.

A VACATION IN
 OLD PALESTINE Peasants Bid Alien Wanderers
 Glad Welcome IN FAMOUS VINEYARDS I-L
Ancient Hebron Seat of Earliest Civ lllzation, Now Inhabited by Wild People Who Wander from
 Valley to Valley.

Evangeline Ben-Oliel in the Portland Ore-
 gonian.
 Hebron, the home of Patriarch Abra- ham, is a town of peculiar interest, both Biblical and archaeological, and because it was renowned for the historical vines of Eschol. These still bear fruit larger than the ordinary grape found In any other part of the world.
 The Mosaic law commanded the peasant to bid the wanderer welcome into his vine yard to partake of his luscious fruit, and this law of hospitality is still practiced by the Arab fellaheen of today, with the dif- ference that today the expectation Of "backsheesh" always accompanies the welcome.
 It seems strange that though Hebron was the seat of the earliest civilization in Palestine, today the inhabitants of the surrounding country are wild and fierce and spend their days roaming about with their flocks, camels and asses, travelling from valley to valley in search of food. pitching their tents, just as their ancestors did 1000 years ago.
 The large town of Hebron is very pic- turesque, situated at the foot of the hill in the fertile valley of Eschol, the vine- yards of which are renowned, and sur pounded by fruit orchards and olive groves. Lying 3029 feet above the sea on this crested hill, above the dry wilderness of Judea, and abundantly watered by nu- merous wells around the town, its cool breezes offer great attractions for sum- mer and autumn visitors, who are weary of the heat and dry barrenness of the country round about Jerusalem The dis tance Is only 26 miles from the Holy City, or, according to oriental reckoning, five-hour ride.
 The present Arabic name is Khalil, or 1.-The Friend," because Abraham was named "the Friend of God" It is a large, well built town, of commanding appear ance, and is mentioned In the scriptures four times.
 Hebron Is one of the four holy cities of Islam. equal with Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem, and to the Jews 1t Is also one of the quartet of sacred towns with Jeru- salem, Safed and Tiberias.
 The rocky hills encircling the town are covered with olive trees, and their slopes are beautifully terraced. One can see from what little remains how well culti- vated and utilized the land was in an cient days, for the terraces run almost to the top and fruits and vegetables of all kinds are growing in every available | niche.

SPRECKELS' intent
IS ISSUE, He SAYS
Technicalities Must Not Set It Aside,
Argues Lawyer for Rudolph and
Claus - Cites Judges Own Rul.
ing.

o. X. Cushing. attorney for John
d. and Adolph Spreckels in the fight
over the Spreckels millions, began
what promises to be an exhaustive
argument before Superior Judge Cof-
fee, saye the San Francisco Exam
iner, in answer to A. +. Morrison,
attorney for Rudolph and Claus A.
Spieckels, who contended that the
trust clause of Claus A. Spreckels'
will was invalid.
Attorney Cushing contended that
Ivy implication 1t was incumbent
upon the trustees to convert the
realty into cash for division. AS a
result, the lawyer said, the trust
was the same as personally trust.
and there was no similarity between
IL and the trust created by the Fair
will.
In the opening of his argument
Gushing laid stress upon the rule
that where there are two ways OF
interpreting testament that inter-
pEetdtlUIg WuiCh VIII phO'Nh' 'h'SS'
AIRY is preferable. He added that In
case of doubt courts will hold that
the language of testament provides
lawful trust. Wills, the attorney
contended, were to be literally con-
strued to effectuate the intention OF
the testator.
Cushing cited one of the Judges
own decisions, which he said upheld
his argument The fact, the lawyer
said, that man makes will proves
he does not want to leave any por-
ton of his estate beyond the opera
ton of his will.
Cushing said that Morrison had
held that the will provided for a
physical division of the property
when. as a matter of fact, II was i'm
possible to divide the estate physi-
cally. 1t was necessary, said the
lawyer, to convert the property into
cash to divide 1t. This proved to
der the rule laid down in the Fair
case.
Cushing pointed out that 1t was
the intention of the testator to make
no provision for John d. Spreckels
or Adolph II. Spreckels, because, as
he said in his will. he already had
given them large portions of his es-
tate.
