CENTER or MANY LEGENDS
Famous Dome Of the Rock, in the Holy
Land, Hao Lcng Been Held
Sacred Place.

The Mussulmans grief at the fail OF
Jerusalem is largely conferred in the
fate of the Dome Of the Rock. For
centuries devOut Mohammedans have
journeyed to this spot, which they
count second only to the holy places OF
Mecca in religious significance.
Directly under the rounded dome
topped with the Turkish crescent is the
sacred rock about which host of ira
ditions-Jewish, Christian and Mo-
hammedan-have been collected. From
this rock Mohammed assembled into
heaven on his steed El Borak, the light
ming. Here also, if tradition is worth
anything, rested NOah'S ark, and jacob
saw the angelic vision. This spot is
IS miles nearer heaven than any 9TH
er Oh the earth, and the Turks accept
the old Jewish theory that this IS the
center Of the earth. Here on the judg-
mant day will the angel Gabriel stand
when he sounds his trumpet.
There is little room for argument
over these statements. You accept OF
reject them as you will. But long and
heated have been the learned disser'
tatiOns to decide whether this identical
spot, already overcrowded with asso-
Citations, is the site of SOl0mOn'S tenn
pie or of the tomb of Christ. Science
now leans toward the former c0nclu-
sion and grants that very likely the
rock marks the place where stood the
altar of the famous Jewish temple.
Even for a confirmed skeptic the
place must hold some interest, for the
structure protecting the rock IS n
worthy rival of the Taj AIailal in beau
ty OF design. The building is octason-
al like a mosque and popularity called
the Mosque Of Omar, to the distress
Of the we'll informed, who point out
that it is only a shrine and that the
true Mosque Of Omar is Il small vault
like building in no way connected with
the sacred rock.
IIohammedan worship is as yet I'M
disturbed by the yiceroy Of the Chris
tiuns, the chief difference being that
the Mohamm adan is now the tenant
and the unbelievcr the landlord.

Britishers Willing ~ Subsist on Shot,
Ratons if That VIII Help Win

- II really isn't necessary t. tel to
British people not to waste food. There
is nothing eatable left OF the average
plate when the meal is finished. Meals
. are one intcrminajle round Of fish
and eggs, fish and eggs. Eggs are found
disguised under all manner OF names,
but always there are eggs, not seven
times a week, but almost u times al
week. writes Chester N. Wright, MEM
Der Of the American Federation OIL
Labor mission to England.
Meat is rationcd by card system.
So is &Igar, of which you may haVe'
six ounces Il week and no more. ono
of the best hotels IN London is S2rv-
ing butter or margarine only once
daily. Many hotels have none for
days at a time.
Desserts are a thing Of the past,
recorded In history but not among
the things extant. &iiiE is rattoncd'
Tea soon will be. Bread is rationed.
Hotels will serve you with one brown
roll per meal. The average man would
be amazed at the British menu today,
but the British do not grumhic. They
go on short rations knowing that II
must be done, and accept it as nari
Of the war that must be carried VIC
FORWARDS.
Even if it were possible to break
the food restrictions the average H2it'
Usher has not the slightest desire to
get more to eat than his reighhCrs.
Especially among the British workers
Is there an obvious grim satisfaction
when members Of The American labor
mission and speakers tell how ships
nre bein2 rushed to completion in ~
states. and how self-dcnial by the Brit
ism people in matters of food and !iXu'
ries make each ton Of maximum value
and effect in prosecuting the war to
finish.
The British workers realize that
moregthan half their food comes from
the United States.

PREDICTS ITS SUCCESS.

 Governor Brouah has made and is still making campaign of the state in behalf of the constitution. He is speaking this week in southwestern Arkansas, and other speakers are dis oussing the subject before the voters in ether parts of the state.
 There is a report rom northwest crn Arkansas that the constitution has considerable favor in that sec ton. and will more than likely re- ceive majority of the votes for it's Z6optiQarfn the counties of tho ncrjh. |wcpf
 The vote will De very light on the issue, and 1t is prophesied by many that perhaps not 30,000 votes will he boiled ,n the entire state.
 Garland county ought to express itself on this work If nothing is done tp stir interest. there will not be an election held in many of the precincts of the county. But the elec- ion officials and the others who have interest in the work. should make an effort to get officials who will serve in every voting precinct and try 10 get as full an expression of the peo- ple as is possible.
 Another thing of importance: There is just one issue voted on The vote is yes or no on the issue The election officers can count the votes in half an hour after the polls are clesed. 1t will not take longer in the largest precinct to finish the work The reports ought to be made prompt ly ty the election sudgos to the cleo. iicn officials. so that we may set our report into Little Rock headquarters early Saturday night
 And in the meanwhile, if there are any who want to advise themselves this week on the issues. they can have copies or the new constitution free if they will call at the Sentinel- Record officc fer the same, We have plenty of copies for distribution and they are yours for the asking.
