the bazaars of Jerusalem. We are in a
network of vaulted tunnels, walled on
each side with cavelike shops. and filled
with q crowd of Syrians, Bedouins. Ar
menians, Jews and the other strange
characters of this part OF the east. The
arched tunnel is lighted only by holes
in the roof. The shops have neither Win
dows nor doors. They seem to have been
cut out of the walls and the larg est OF
them is not more than fifteen or twenty
feet deep. Some are narrow YOU can
stand at the front and reach both walls
with your hands, and none is much high 81
than your head. Nevertheless each Is a
store, and it is walled with shelves filled
with goods. There is only enough room
outside the shelves for the merchant to
sit. and the customers must stand in the
street as they shop.
These baZaarS are classified. one bust

bazaar where scores of cob

Plan Under Way To Have University
Establish Chair in Detroit, With

As-the result Of meeting. Sunday,

tives of the United Steam Engineers
Of Detroit and the faculty Of the

versity of Michigan, Detroit will prob
ably be made the seat OF chair Of

with a resident instructor. The plan
IL for a three-year course of instruc-
ton. leading to certificate of pro-
ficiency.
The movement Is the result of long
consideration on the part OF the
steam engineers of Detroit, compris-
ing six bodies belonging 20 different
national associations, who have their
Joint meeting place In the Wayne
County Savings bank building. The
proposition for a course Of instruction
under university auspices was taken

gents, Oct Z.

ing department, and Dean M. e. Cool

Charles s. Dennison, professor OF

intendent Of power plant. and Alfred
II. White, professor OF chemical en-
cheering.
Dean Cooley expressed great pleas
ure that the stationary engineers had
started such q movement, and promis-
ed the cooperation of the university.
II have long felt that as everybody
cannot come to the university, the
university should go to the public"
said Dean Cooley. I'VE did not feel
justified In starting the movement
ourselves, but now that 1t has been
started by the engineers, We shall do
all in our power to further It."
Dean Cooley will lay the matter be-
fore the faculty Nov. 10, and expects
that q university instructor will be
stationed In Detroit, who will give
daily lessons In the association rooms,
while occasional lectures will be CIV
en- by the other members of the
faculty. Carl 8. Pearse, of Denver,
Col, president of the National Asso-
citation Of Steam Engineers, has been
greatly interested In the movement
and 1t Is expected that the lectures
given by the instructor In Detroit will
be published and circulated through
out the membership of the organize
ton. Fourteen hundred engineers
will be benefited In Detroit alone.

Ing. II was voted 10 recommend to the
board that hereafter the equalization
committee be considered permanent

to hold several meetings az deemed
necessary In order that the members
can become familiar with fvaiues
throughout the county, and thus avoid
the friction that always follows the
announcement OF the committees
figures, as at present.
las the committee Is now consti-
tuted the men have no chance to learn
the work TO be DONE" Mr.. Labadie
stated. The committee IL appointed
at the beginning Of the meeting and
Is expected to report In day or two.
The city members always control the
committee and they never see the
townships, merely jumping at lump
sums. Over $4,000. 900" was added to
the figures of Ecorse In Just that way,
and the township was greatly in
jured."
Mr.. Labadie presented a resolution
providing for the appointment of a
special assessment board, but the
committee decided that with the max
ing of the equalization committee a
standing body. the trouble would be
remedied and Mr.. Labadie was salts
fed.
The committee also decided to rec

OF the poor commission be used this

care Of the sick and insane and also
to pay the insurance on the county
