Jerusalem-The historic streets of
ancient Jerusalem, the Holy City, will
hum with the noise of electric cars,
and brilliant electric lights will illum-
mate the streets at night. Many of
the old, picturesque towers and walls
are to be torn away and modern sys-
TEN of water works will be installed.
The rapidity with which the Holy
City is being extended outside the old
walls by the return of the Jews to
the land of their forfathers has made
the improvements necessary. TO the
north and west of the old city there
have sprung up populous Jewish resi-
Dental colonies and to-day there is a
greater Jerusalem without than within
the walls. Four separate tramway
routes are to be laid. They will start
from the Jaffa Gate, the principal en-
trance to the city. The first will have
a length of two miles and will pass
through the business quarter of the
Holy City.
Another will link the Jewish colon
les to the north of the city and
third will encircle the old city, passing
many of the most interesting histori-
cal points. Among them the spot sup
posed to have been the scene of cruel
fixion, the Tomb of the Kings, the
Mount of Olives and the Valley Of
Jehoshaphat.
The fourth line will run to Bethle-
hem, some six miles from the Jaffa
gate, traversing the most sacred thor
oughfare in the world 1t is lined
with reputed holy places. wells, tombs
and converts. The work of laying the
rails for these roads will begin in
April.
The old walls Of the city, which
have a circumference of about three
miles and at places are 80 feet high,
are being offered for sale by the city
as building material. A society has
been formed for the purpose of saving
isolated sections of the walls and some
of the historic towers. David's Tower
it is planned to convert into museum.
For many years Jerusalem has suf'
fered for lack of fresh water. With
the exception Of small quantity
brought into the city from the ancient
pools of Solomon near Bethlehem, by
means of small pipe line, the inhabi-
tants have been compelled to depend
upon rainwater.
Now large reservoirs are to be built
in the upper part of the valley of the
Brook Chreith at the springs of Ain
Fariah and Ain FOuwar, where the wa
ter will be stored and piped into the
city
The Holy City has rapidly become
westernized. The streets are sprinkled
from modern tank wagons instead of
with skins as was done until year
ago. A complete telephone system has
been installed and the police depart.
ment has been supplied with bicycles.
Modern farming machinery has re-
placed the old fashioned hand reapers
in the nearby region and the orange
groves are irrigated by water pumped
with a power pump. At Jaffa the
French are planning to build a harbor.
Motor boats are in service on the Dead
Sea, the Sea of Galilee and the Jor-
dan, carrying both freight and pas.

Cost Of High Living.

New York, Feb. 9.-Overlooking for
a moment the high tariff on automo-
biles, tango teas and Broadway sup
pers, married life in New York is
by no means as expensive from me-
cessity as it is from choice, accord
ing to the report of the Association
for Improving the Condition of the
Poor.
From it's record of investigations in
twenty-seven families during the last
year in the Vanderbilt tenements, the
association figures that family of
five can live here for $1,05O, and that
$1,000 is the maximum of necessity
for normal standard of living in
Manhattan.
The total living expenses of the
tv4anty-seven families in the tene-
ments were $15,766.99. The average
living expenses for a family of five
for 233 days, the average residence
in the tenements, was $584.33, a daily
expense per family of S2.44, or $912.5C
a year.

TO TEST LEGAL LIMIT
ON AID TO CHILDREN

Sacramento, Feb. 9.-In the inter.
est of 200 needy orphans, born in
California, but whose parents had not
been admitted to citizenship and had
not been residents of the state fo1
three years, the board of control
state controller and attorney general
have decided to cooperate in friend.
ly suit to test section of the moth
ers' pension law, which apparently de-
nies state aid to such orphans.
President John F. Neylan of the
state board of control, sets forth the
situation in the following statement:
"The attorney general has interpre-
ted the law to mean that no needy
child can draw state aid unless its
parents have been admitted to citi-
zenship in the state as we'll as being
residents of the state for not less
than three years.
"It has been brought to our atten-
'tion that under this Interpretation
perhaps 200 needy children born in
California, who have drawn state aid
heretofore, would be cut off.
"Upon the board of control rests
the responsibility for the administra-
tion of the orphans and half-orphans'
fund, under what is popularity termed
the mothers pension law. 1t is our
duty to administer this fund strictly
and scrupulously to avoid fraud and
abuse, and we have therefore cut off
these children in accordance with the
opinion Of the attorney general.
"We recognize, however, the mani
fest hardship it will be on these chill
dren and therefore desire to fortify
our course by judicial determination"
