PALESTINE SHOULD
 BE HOME OF JEWS
 DECLARES LIPSKY
Jewish Leader Speaks Hopefully of Zionism Movement Yesterday Afternoon at the Temple
 Emanu-El

As solution for the problem that con- fronts the Jewish population of the world Louis Lepsky, a famous Jewish leader, advocated in an address at the Temple Emanu-El yesterday that the Jew re-es- tablish himself at Palestine. Further more. such a movement has been as- sured of the support of the English and French governments.
 MT. Lipsky declared that there were 14, ,o0o,00o Jews in the world, and that of this number 100000 were now fighting in the trenches of Europe His opinion of the solution of the problem of the modern Jew was that he should re-estab- fish himself at Palestine and govern him. self.
 There are 120,OO0 Jews in Palestine now, he said, and there one may find them en- gagged in the occupation of farming, run- hing industries and operating diverse crafts and trades. Such a colony, he said. had made Hebrew living language.
 As to the possibility of establishing such a nation. MT. Lipsky said that the French and English governments had given assurance that the Turks would be driven from this territory and that the majority of the Christian world was in favor of such movement.
 Yesterday afternoon he was given an informal reception at the Young Mems Hebrew association, and at that time spoke briefly upon ''Zonism''

M|SSFANCYK KEPT INDOORS YESTERDAY Boys and Girls Peep Inside and Then Visit Bears
 and Eagles

Miss Fancy had evidently been indis- posed out at the Avondale zoo yesterday because so many nice things have been written about her recentla. She was keps inss<ffe house all afternoon and had two large chains tied to her legs. Usually on sunshiny Sunday afternoons she is tethered outside so that the children can feed her peanuts and popcorn in which she takes greatest delight.
 Yesterday afternoon the big door of her. house was left open so that the boys and girls who own her could come up and look but even the pride of owner ship is not enough tc make them go in- side her domicile. She was as gentle as a lamb, however, and seemed perfectly contented to devour vast quantities of hay placed before her.
 Miss Fancy Is the star attraction at the Avondale zoo, but it should not be for gotten that there are. some other very interesting animals and birds in the col lection. One of the most popular spots in the zoo is the big cage where the eagles, the owls and the night hawks are kept. The way the owls bat their eyes, the proud disdain shown by the bold eagles and the indifference of the hawks prove a never ending source ol Interest to the children as well as theil parents.
 The three big bears are also popular and it is interesting to note that larger and more commodious quarters are be- ing prepared for them.
 The city is gradually making improve ments in the walks and driveways in the park, vseiich will add still more to the popularity of Birmingham's zoo.

 ''The beginning of this well at Hamil- ton Is about the greatest event that has occurred in the search for oil in Ala bama." said MT. Owens. s'At this location there was originally drilled a diamond drill test and the amount of oil encoun- tered in drilling was what led the Gulf Producing company to contract for deep test for production.
 Leasing in that section is very active. Several of the big oil companies have bought up options on lands for it Is known that there is oil somewhere in Marion county. Tho Gulf Producing com pany has over 125,0o0 acres of territory leased"
