THE WAR AND THE JEWS

Will the Jews get back to their
own land of Palestine as one result
of the world war? Many students
of history and Bible prophecy Think
they will. The man who is said to
know more about the Jews their
past history and their present situa-
tion,- than any other living man is
David Baron, of LONDON. He is a
distinguished Jewish Christian mis-
sionary and leader of missions to the
Jews in several of the warning ma
tions. Mr.. Baron has written an
article on the Jews and their land
throws much light on the question
as to what effect the war will have
upon Palestine and the Jews. This
article viii be published in two
numbers of The Sunday School
Times, an very-week religious pa
per. issued in Philadelphia. The
publishers will be glad to send free
copies of the issues containing Mr..
Baron al ticle to readers of this pa
per who will send request to The
Sunday School Times, 1881 Walnut
Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

With the increasing jitney business
m Harrisburg there is a most insist
1pt demand that these automobiles be
.t@gulated in the interest of safety AL
aeady there have been several narrow
escapes from serious accident and
public sentiment demands that some
definite regulation be provided. There
is now pending in the Legislature a
bill giving councils of cities power to
regulate the jitney business. The
Sunset Magazine prints the following
interesting article on the operation of
the jitneys in the West:
Though no statistics OF reliable
data on the subject are available. ac-
cording to ell indications the number
of titney buses has decreased material

this decrease was due to an oversup-

pecially during the rush hours when
the electric cars must inevitably be

have to demand ten-cent fare in or

depreciation. They are already charg-
ing this amount for the short ride to
the exposition grounds in San Fran

Valuable Chinese Coins.

An American, who recently arrived
in Picking from the far interior OF Chi
ma, had with him when he reached Pc
king a string of copper coins with
holes through the center such as he
had been using on his journey. The
whole string, two feet in length, was
deemed to be worth about ten or fif-
teen cents, for the coins were only
the ordinary cash" in current use in
the province of Shensi, from which the
traveller came; but upon examination
by a member of the American legation
who knows the Chinese language 1t
was found that some bore the marks
of emperors as far back as the year
2S4 B. G. On the string were cash
representing every reign since the be-
ginning of the Ching dynasty. many
of the Ming dynasty, and even the
dynasties that precede the latter.
