The shadow of the cross lies
athwart the sinister crescent of the
Turk on the walls of old Jerusalem.
The laundering of the guns of the
Gentiles have aroused the hills of
Palestine, and the soldiers of democ-
racy are camping around their little
fires where almost twenty centuries
ago on the first Christmas eve shep-
herds watched their focks by night.
Jerusalem is in the hands of the
British after having been for virtual
ly 1900 years in the control of the
Moslems.
The Holy City of the Christian re-
ligion capitulated to General Allen
by's forces, consisting of British,
French and Italian troops, after it
had been entirely surrounded and
with its fall has swept away the
dream of the Germans and the Turks
of driving southwark through Pales-
tine, capturing the Suez Canal and
invading Egypt.
Since the recent taking of the
town of Jaffa on the Mediterranean
and the gradual closing in on Jeru-
salem by the allied forces the fall of
the ancient city daily had been an
ticipated.
1t thrills the imagination to know
that the stored land of Syria, en-
deared to the Christian world, seems
likely to come beneath the rule of |
the cross after centuries of Moham-
medan rule.
Picture the Christian soldier and
the visions that must sweep through |
his mind, as he sits nightly by the
Ibivouac fires, and reads the book that |
was placed in his kit by loving hands
when he was kissed goodbye in his
far-off home
GAIA Gates and Somson.
Every town before which his guns |
have Numbered is redolent of senti-
mental and sacred traditions. At
GAIA, whose great gates Samson car
ried away, he will dream of the
strong man, toiling eyeless at the
mills, or making the supreme sacri-
flee at the temple, whose ruins, it is
said, are still strewn upon it's hills. |
At Askalon he will turn to the book |
|of Samuel and read that plaintive |
monody of David's over the death of
Saul and be reminded that the "beau-
ty of Israel is slain upon thy high
places-tell it not in Gath, publish
bit not in Askalon."
But when he will look about for
Gath he will find only the trackless
sands sweeping over the site of that
ancient city. In Beersheba he will |
drink from the wells that succored |
Hagar and Ishmael and watered the
fiocks of Abraham and perhaps with |
a stone under his head, like Jacob |
fof old, he will lie down and vision a
ladder trod by angelic feet, bringing
presages of victory, or Elijah's meat
less meal of "cake baken on the
goals and cruise of water at his
head"
| But mostly will memories of David,
the wanderer, the singer, the king,
the founder of the Holy City and of !
lthe house of David, throng his dreams
for now as his tents are cast before
the gates of Hebron, with his in
trenchments extending from AsEal
to the Sea of Salt, he is in the very
land of David, where his songs were
sung and the foundations of his en-
pire first laid.

Secretary Of Agriculture
Urges Every Household
I to Can and Dry Fruit

Washington, D. G., June 3d. Ev
cry housewife this year should restore
to her home the often overlooked hons
industries Of canning, preserving, pick
ling and drying Of perishable fruits ol
vegetables, = said David +. Houston
secretary of agriculture, today. "Th.
large number OF new back yard gar
dens which have been planted this year
shortly will begin to yield their extra
harvest of beans, peas, carrots, beets
sweet corn and tomatoes. The regular
supplies also will reach the markets
and, as happens each summer, the local
supply at times will exceed immediate
eonsumptiye capacity. Not TO conserve
much OF this surplusage Of valuable
food would be sinful waste.
tTho present food and labor situa-
tions are such that no household is JUS
titled in looking to others to release it
wholly from individual responsibility
and constructive action in saving and
conserving food. All any home should
expect of others is to supply those
foods which can not be produced eff
t'ectively by its own members. The rail
roads viii be burdoned with transpor-
tation of staple foods and civil and
military necessities from localities of
production and manufacture to dist
1iets incapable of supplying their own
needs. 1t follows that all locally pro
dueed foods, conserved by home meth
DDS lessen the winter pressure on trans
portation agencies and also release sim
liar products of factories for other pur'
poses.
~ urge every household, therefore,
10 can all surplus perishable products
for which they have containers and 70
dry and keep in paper any additional
surplus suitable for such preservation.
Canning calls for no special SKIN
aud for little equipment beyond WASH
boiler and jars. Fresh products, clean
Illness and heat are the chief require
ments, as even sugar is not essential
for canning fruits under modern con
ditions. Fruits and vegetables, more
aver. can be dried efficiently IN the sun,
over a range or gas stove, or beiore
an electric fan. Homemade shallow
trays Of wood, or heavy wire screen are
the chief equipment required. Drying
iS time-tried home Industry; conser-
vation Of food by drying is largely a
matter of restoring to the home great
arandmothers method of seeing that her
family had good food in winter as re-
lief from monotonous diet OF root
vegetables. Canning and drying can be
lraetieea as effectively in city house
or apartment as on Il Farm or IN su
imrban dwelling.

fitahle industry for women and children

Accounting Expert Is
lecturer On Economics

John r. Forbes, G. r. A., Pacific
coast partner Of Haskins & Sells, the
foremost American firm of public ne
countants (for relaxation Mr.. Forbes
| is lecturer in the economic department
of the University Of California; states
in the profession and the practice of
public accounting during the past year
than any similar period in the history
of public accounting in America. There
are many evidences of this and per-
haps the most important is the gradual
but positive awakening on the part of
manufacturers and bankers, through
the efforts of the federal trade com
mission, to the necessity of adequate
cost accounting systems in factories
and other industrial plants. With the
active cooperation of the American in
stitute of accountants, the federal trade
commission has prepared and distribut
ed tentative systems of cost finding
and have urged manufacturers to in
sUall them. The commission had endeav-
ored for long time to secure data
with reference to the cost of manufae-
ture. Ii seemed as if the manufactur-
ers were loath to furnish information
but upon investigation, it was found
that the fault lay in the fact that the
information was impossible to obtain
for the reason that comparatively
small percentage of manufacturing
plants had any idea of their manufae-
turing costs.

.$4,OOO,OOO VALUE
MAXWELL CAR DEAL
Delivery of 5000 Automobiles to Ex-
port Firm is called for by Con-
tract N

Four million dollars is the amount
involved in a contract for cars for ex-
port just made by the Maxwell Motor
Sales Corporation of Detroit.
The contract calls for a delivery of
6O0O Maxwell automobiles.
A large number of these ears will be
shipped to points in South America.
The remainder Will go to countries in
the 0rient-both the continent of Asia
and the great islands of the Pacific
The contract was made with the John
D. Williams company, No. 2 Rector St.,
New York, n. Y This company will
act as one of the foreign representa-
tives of the Maxwell company.
The Williams company is one of the
largest exporter and importer of auto
mobiles in the United States. The Max
well ears for foreign countries in most
instances will go through the Williams
company. The 5000 cars called for in
the new contract will all go through
the hands of the new foreign represent
atives.
They expect a tremendous increase
in the business done by the United
States with South American countries.
More American motor ears are being
sent to Latin-Ameriean states each
year, and already heavy demand for
automobiles in the southern countries
will increase rapidly, they believe, from
now on.
The Williams company is widely
known in the export field and the Max
wen line will add greatly to the value
Of their business. They have dealers in
the principal cities of South and Cen
tral America and tae far eastern eoun-
tries.
's6asoline is costly in many Of the
foreign countries, = said Mr.. Williams,
and the efficiency and economy of the
Maxwell make it a choice line to handle
in the export trade.

United Press Correspondent
Tells of War Impressions
Cleaned in Scotland

: Growing grass and moss have bidder
the slight scar on one facade of Edin
burgh castle, the mark of Zeppelin
bomb dropped early in the war. Thu
castle still imprisons from time tC
/ time German prisoners brought in by
naval vessels. Whether Admiral Vor
Tirpitz's son is still held there the
oanny hosts did not say, but admitted
that had the bomb which glanced off
the castle been true to its purpose
there would have been mourning at the
fireside of the arch exponent of ter
rorism.
This is presuming that Admiral Won
Tirpitz knows what most Germans APP
parently do not, that the zeppelin at
tack on the castle failed. Many pris-
oners brought there refuse to believe
they are in Edinburgh castle, insisting
that IL has been destroyed.
Edinburgh had little else to show of
wars effect but great deal to show of
her gratitude toward America. She
made this plain in so many ways that
when the unlucky correspondent called
on to respond to the toast "Our Amer
lean Guests" felt the necessity to es-
tablish his own connection with this
country, he was compelled to

JACK barry PICKS
RED SOX TO win
Team VIII Win PeImant Again
As Easily As Last Year
He Says
By H. @. Hamilton.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, June 30.--Jack Barry
manager of the world s champion Red
| Sox, can't understand why the critics
of baseball are picking niche lower
than first place for his crimson hosed
warriors.
The team, he points out, is just as
strong as it was last year, when it
went through the most gruelling fight
OF a decade to worlds championship,
and easily ran roughshod over the
Dodgers to worlds championship. If
anything, he believes, the Red Sox must
be figured stronger, for they have the
added strength of new pitcher, Bader,
for firstclass relief work.
The Red Sox have one bad attack of
trouble which will have to be ironed
out, however, before Barry can be TAX
en- seriously. The loss of Bill Carrigan,
not as manager, but as catcher and
a coach, will have to be overcome be-
fore the Red Sox will be figured on
paper as strong as the White Sox as
