BURGLAR |S AGAIN
 BUSY AT CHANDLER

CHANDLER, Dec. 14.-On Wednes- day and Thursday nights a thief wis ited four homes in Chandler. The first house entered was that of Dr. F. c. Jordan on Wednesday morning. The robber entered the room where the doctor was sleeping. The light of the electric flash wakened him, but as his gun had been left in another part of the house, he was powerless to stop the intruders investigations. After go- ing carefully through the room, the burglar frisked the doctors clothes, found something like $17 and departed
 A few minutes later the home of Mrs. Gertrude Woodson was entered and SIP was taken. On the following night a thief visited the home of R. D. Farnes- worth. Unfortunately for him he knocked over an electric iron, which aroused the people of the house and he fled. A. $. DefOre's residence was also entered on Wednesday night and about S20 was taken together with a wallet containing some valuable papers. The wallet was later found by the Phelps Bros. and still contained all of the pa. pers. It is supposed that all of the robberies were done by the same man.

An UnsoIved Mystery.

The st. Louis Art museum recently
announced the possession of poly
chrome earthen vessel of unique de-
sign, which remains a mystery to
archaeOlogists. 1t was found among
the ruins Of the ancient city of Quiri-
qua, Guatemala, during the excavation
of that site in 1912, and since then has
provoked great deal of discussion as
to its origin and purpose. The vessel.
Is described as seven inches in height,
with CONSTRUCTED band around the
rim, doubtless intended to accommo-
date a cover, and 'its fluted body
swells below into a dubious base,
which is slightly concave beneath. The
paste is moderately soft, light gray in
color and the surface is finished with
a slip or wash of light salmon hue
carefully rubbed down with a polish
ing implement" But the odd feature
Of the vessel is the human face mold

BOOK OUTPUT IS INCREASED
Number Of Publications In United
States In 1916 Showed Gain in
Spite of Rising Costs.

The rising cost Of paper, ink and
the other materials of bookmaking
did not curtail the number of publica-
tons in 1916; instead there was net
gain of I'll. OF American publications
there was a falling off in the number
brought from the other side, showing
the writer's, though generally main
tanning the pen is mightier than the
sword, have taken up the latter. That
the cost of production does not re-
strict the book output is indeed fortu-
nate for aspiring authors; If the pub
fishers choose to make the price of pa
per an excuse, they could make the
path to literary success st0nier than It
is now, says the Pittsburgh Gazette.
But in q land that turns out 10,445
titles in a year, as this one did in
1916, there Is a chance for the medi-
OGRE. OF the output, 8,797 were works
done in America, so leaving out the
best sellers and class and technical
books, quite number of poets and
story tellers must have taken their
places among the elect. One would
hardly think authors were so plentiful.
1t is probable the war has speeded up
book production, and that it would
have to make printing costs very high
before the tide of war-borne fiction
and other matter would be stemmed.-

One OF the most prosperous agricul-

Of Toulon, the Mediterranean seaport
not far from Marseilles, and therefore
far distant from the scene of war.
But the war is to this district the
most important source of its prosper

MAY FOUND JEWISH REPUBLIC
England, France and United States to
Exercise Joint Protectorate After
War, Is Report.

Palestine is to become Jewish re-
public at the end Of the war, accord
ing to a recent report that appeared
simultaneously In London and Wash
lngton. 1t is thought possible that the
disposition Of the Holy Land was one
of the subjects discussed by the Brit
ish and French ENJOYS with President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing at
Washington. That the United States
would favor such plan Is considered
certain.
According to the report the Jewish
republic, known as Judea, would be a
protectorate of England, France and
the United States acting Jointly. Je-
rusalem would be the capital of the
new republic, which would have local
government. Should this plan be car
ried into operation great migration
Of the Jews back to their ancient land
will likely take place. Not a great
many are expected to leave the United
States, but the several million more
or less prosecuted members Of the
race In Roumania, Serbia, Austria
Hungary and Germany, along with
some from Russia, no doubt will take
advantage of the chance to live in
state where they will have equal OPP
portunity as well as the right to wor-
ship in their old temples. Jerusalem,
under such condition, would become
again a city of millions and the great
spaces of now arid lands in Palestine
would be reclaimed.
