Like California, Palestine Is longest

feet, and very deep depressions. The
Dead sea, 1,200 feet below sea level,
is the greatest depression known, and.
like the Death valley of California, it
is situated in the southern extremity
of the country.
In Palestine. just as in California, we
have dry. warm season and a humid
and more temperate one The rainy
season extends from October to May
and the dry season from May to Oc.
tober.
Palestine is even more favored than
California with regard to the winter
temperature. Although the thermome-
ter rises as high in summer in Pales-
tine as in California. with extremes of
ITO degrees to 115 degrees f., though
not so often. it very rarely drops in
the winter TO the freezing point. Snow

this country in such droves is often

and fall far short of the sturdier and
more reliable citizens who came to
the United States years ago from the
North of Europe.
But all foreigners coming to the

An anecdote which proves the
worth of many of Americas newly

Baldwin, of Connecticut, in a recent

KEPT HER BUSY.

u don't believe that the public
schools teach their graduates to use
their minds" remarked a well known
citizen of Philadelphia the other day.
Here's a story just to illustrate what
mean:
Il got secretary last summer who
had just been graduated with high
honors from the Commercial high
school. She had been picked out for
me as the best girl in her class, and
found her excellent in all that required
methodical, parrot-like work.
"One day l jotted down some tele-
phone numbers that l wanted to re-
member and, having a poor memory,
forgot in the course of the morning
whose the numbers were or what the
business was upon which l wanted to
phone.
so l called Miss Blank just as
was going out and said, Before you
get your luncheon l wish you'd find
out for me whose those telephone num-
bers are
Two hours later came back, and
Miss Blank was sitting at her desk,
weary and perseveringly studying the
telephone book.
Il asked her If she had got some let
tiers written that had left, If she had
lunched, If she had done several little
things. She said no and then ex-
planned:
You see, 1t takes me a long time to
read through the book till l come to
the numbers you want she said. I
haven't had time to do anything elser"
