vice, who is in Omaha taking applica-
lions for motorboat and steamboat H.
censes.
There is a gradual increase in the

Omaha is no exception to the rule. We

licenses here this year, and conditions at
Sioux City indicate oven greater interest
IN boating than in Omaha"

Captain Macdonald that the government
regulation requiring lighting equipment
for rowboats, must be enforced in Omah
and vicinity. Heretofore. this section OF
the statute has not been rigidly enforced

to see that the rule is observed.
The regulation is that rowing boats
under oars. shall have ready at hand o
lantern showing white light which
shall be temporarily exhibited in suffi
cient time to prevent collision.
Owners OF motorboats and sailboat,
have generally complied with the govern.
ment regulations providing for lights and

HEBRAIC LANGUAGE is
AGAIN BECOMING POPULAR

Jerusalem, July 6.-The Turkish gov
has issued orders against post
Ing notices in Hebrew upon the dead
walls of cities of Palestine. The action
is believed to indicate concern on the
part of the authorities over the remark
able revival of the Hebrew language.
Although up to so years ago classic
Hebrew was not ordinarily used by the
Jews of Palestine, it is now the COM
mon language of tens of thousands of
people in Palestine. 1t is the medium
OF instruction in many schools, and
neWSp2 pers, street car tickets and
shop Keepers signs are in Hebrew. 1t
is, therefore, apparen that the uthor
ties Will have a hard time if they pro-
pose to check the spread of the Ian
guage
The revival of the pur biblical tongue
mas been, IN a measure forced on the
Palestine Jews for reasons apart from
them tinenta Immigrationm from
other parts of the world, particularly
OF the $4,000 YiddIsh speaking Jews
from Russia some years ago. made a
common means of communication
necessary. Yiddish is not understood
by the natives here, while all Jews
know something of Hebrew.
The Zionist movement, aimed at re-
storing Palestine to the Jewish race.
has done much to finance the Hebrew
schools, and is now raising a fund to
endow a Hebrew university at Jeru-
salem.
