CHARACTER OF PALESTINE

that so small territory sufficed for so many striking incidents and for the careers of so many famous men.
 Palestine is a country poor in nat ural resources. There are practically no minerals, no coal no iron, no cop per, no silver, though recently some oil wells have been discovered in tho Jordan valley. Neither are there any large forests, and though the land may have been better wooded in the days of Joshua than it is now, there is little reason to think that the woods were of trees sufficiently large to constitute a source of wealh A comparatively small area is fit for tillage
 tTo an Arab tribe that had wan- dered through a barren wilderness for 40 weary years. Canaan may well have seemed a delightful possession; but many a county in Iowa, many de- partment in France, could raise more grain or wine than all the Holy Land
 There is one stretch of fertile. level land 20 miles long and from three to six miles wide-the Plain of Esdraelon. But with this exception 1t is only in the bottoms and on the low CT. slopes of a few valleys, chiefly in the territory of Ephraim from Bethel northward and along the shore of the Bay of Acre, that one sees corn fields and olive yards and orchards. Little wine is now grown.
 such weale as the country has con sists in it's pastures, and the express sion a land flowing with milk and honey appropriately decribes the best it has to offer, for sheep and goats can thrive on the thin herbage that covers the hills and the numerous aromatic plants furnish plenty of excel- lent food for the bees; but it is nearly all thin pasture, for the land is dry and the soil is mostly shallow. The sheep and goats vastly outnumber the oxen. Woody Bashan, on the east side of Jordan, is still the region where one must look for the strong bulls"

'7' x T Policemen and Bremen Should Have More Pay

M AT EMBERS of Birmingham's po- GVU lice and fire departments have asked the city commission for small increase in salary. All they request is S1O a month more Considering the fact that these faithful employees of the city have always been underpaid and the cost of living has gone up by leaps and bounds, they should be granted raise.
 It is hard matter nowadays to support a family on S90 month, which is the amount paid bur police men and firemen. With greatly re- duced numbers and large territory in which to keep order, the police de- partment has made a record of which it may we'll be proud. Most of the men who are now members of the force are conspicuous for their devo- tion to duty and some of them have served the city many years.
 Similarly the fire department is conceded to be one of the most eff cient in the entire United States, al- though it has also been hampered by the necessity for cutting down mu- nicipal expenses. During the past month, especially, Birmingham fire men have been called out repeatedly to check incipient blazes and although the number of fire calls in a given period was greater than ever before in the city's history, we have had no serious conflagrations.
 Our policemen and firemen are . fine body of men. They are entitled to have their salaries increased.

TO THE FIT ALONE

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 It is no reflection upon command ing officer of the American army to be told that his physical condition bars him from active service with the troops in Europe For such an officer to be told he cannot go to the battle front IS necessarily a great disappointment, and his friends will share with him the re- gret that life of military service can not be climaxed under fire in the worlds greatest war. Yet stern heces- city takes precedence over mere personal ambition.
 Modern warfare is grueling expe- rience for officers and men alike. From the beginning the government has en- deavored to keep out of the service men not believed capable Of enduring the hardships incident to trench fighting. If it be important that enlisted men shall be thus held to physical stand ard, it is far more important that those who are to command men in ac- tion shall be physically fit. A private 8 inability to stand the strain might cost him his life, but similar inability in q commanding officer might cost the lives of thousands.
 The risk is too great. The nation can rot afford to experiment with the lives of it's young men. To the fit and vigor- ous belong the tasks and responsibilities of war

To Strive For Big
 Achievement in 1918

6N HE annual meeting of the Cham-
 U Der of Commerce tonight will be an event of more than usual inter- est. The retiring president, Charles IF. DeBardeleben, will make an ad- dress reviewing the work of the chamber during his term, and the new president, A. c. Crowder, will have something to say about what he ex- poets to accomplish during the ensuing twelve months.
 MT. 'DeBardeleben as the managing head of a large industrial corporation lis one of the busiest men in the Bir- mingham district, but having accepted the presidency he made sacrifice and devoted much of his time to it's affairs. He has. had successful ad- ministration and his successor is de- termined to make high record of achievement.
 Mir. Crowder is noted for his public spirit and his zeal in civic upbuilding If he has the right sort of co-opera- ton on the part of the membership,
 as well as the enthusiastic support of
 the board of directors, the chamber
 will accomplish great deal that is
 worth while.

 been in evidence in Birmingham ot late years, even though intermittently had it's rise in the Chamber of Com

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

Why is it that the man with the worst judgment is always the most willing to bet on it?
 Of course it Is none of our business. But our idea Is that there is enough smp spelling in this country right now withcu. teaching it.
 Many a man would have been single today If his wife's parents had not in sisted on telling their daughter that he was horse thief and a porch climber when he was courting her.
 Funny how many married bassos there are in the l5aifs and how many married tenors there are in the homes
 There are mighty few people who have nerve enough to say just what they think. Put at that they are more numerous than popular.
 The reason why woman doesn't mind being so fat that she can't squeeze into bath tub is because she can remember the time when she was so thin that she could squeeze between the palings in the fence in front of her home.
 Our idea of financier is fellow who can go ahead and capitalize his hard luck
 They say that spilling the salt on tho tablecloth is sure sign of a fight But a surer sign of a fight is for Friend liuSDaro to splli the SrdNy oH the td- blecloth.
 X girl likes to spend four hours doll ing up her complexion so she will be able to brag that she never has to do anything for it.
 A wife would rather her husband had her picture in his watch than an acci- dent policy in his pocket when he goes on a trip.
 There are women who wouldn't think of wearing white waist for more than two days without having it washed. but who are content to sleep on white pill low case for two months without hay ing it laundered.
