At the regular meeting OF the city
..4Aci Monday evening several sub
.ecls OF more OF less Importance
A ere discussed among which was
,4e matter OF codifying the city or
finances. 50 lar some ninety ordin-
aAces have been enacted, and as they
are not classified as to character, it
IS often dihcult TO tell whether
there Is any ordinance on record
covering certain subject, without
searching through the entire list.
ii was suggested that certain ordin-
aAces. or parts OF ordinances be re-
pealed. and that the entire list OF
.ity laws which reLlain in force be
coalted and printed in such form
that ii viii only require few min
ltes time TO md out what the law
is Oh any particular subject. This
suggestion was laid on the table for
the time being. but there is no doubt
it Will be acted upon fayorably in

to league Of nations:
ut is essential to the maintenance
Of the world settlement which the
association nations now are met to
establish that a league Of nations
be created TO promote international
obligations and to provide safe
guards against war. This league
should be created as an integral
part of the general treaty of peace
ana should be open to every civil
lied nation which can be relied on
to protnote its objects.
THE members Of the league
should periodically meet in interna-
tional conference and should have a
permanent organization and secre-
taries to carry on the business of
the league in the intervals between

therefore appoints a committee rep
resentative Of the associated govern
ments to work out the details of the

Ancient Stro11garna Man
Founded Spartacus Group

There is not lacking a considerable
party which claims that spartacism
is all of that and more. But, the
ending-cide, from the Latin, caed0
to kill, always kills whatever it is
added to. Kills what it goes after
as it were A homicide is a man
killer, a suicide is a self-killer. and
an insecticide is an insect killer
So, a Spartacide would be a Sparta
cus-killer And that isn't what we
want to say at all.
In the same way, a Spartacusser
might be accused of heaping profane
invecctiye upon a Spartacus and all
his works, and a Spartacan might be
suspected Of being a mere subtrafugo
for tying a can on one end Of Spar
tacus, and you can see very easily
low a spartacrat might be mixed up
with an aristocrat.
Maybe it's Just as well to call them
Sparts, or just sparts, and thereby
avoid complications.
The Sparts take their name from
certain Mr. Spartacus, whose mi
tails have been lost somewhere ir
the shuttle. He started life as g
modest shepherd in Thrace, perhap;
somewhere in what recently was Eu
ropean Turkey, during the century
Just preceding the birth of Christ
Think of going back that far fol

bow. With the new opportunities
now opening up the old spinner is
likely to be looking for another job
Already in quite small towns you
will see the name of well known Lon
don firms. This has aroused the To-
cal shops to a kind of competition
and all kinds of important signs over
small shops, with hardly anything
to sell, announce: The London
Stores, Stationary and Other Provis-
ions,' "The Up-to-date Hosiery and
Dry Goods Store" "The Manchester
House." and many similar. 1t is
doubtful if five per cent of the pros
pective customers can read the signs.
Shepherds on the hills still tend
their flocks, dressed in camel hair,
and nightly fold them and light their
camp fires to keep off the prowling
iackals and hyenas. But in the fu-
ture much of this rich land, now
practically barren, is likely to re-
ceive the attention of the steam trac-
tor.
Altogethr. with the present means
of transport by rail, the great I'M
provement in the water supply and
the rapid introduction of European
emthods and customs, it may be hop
ed a year or Two of peace will change
this country into a real land Of milk

New York, Jan. 27.-Perhaps it's

Just when we were learning to say

give it about as universal an appli-

That was right in line with their

and gingerbread saloon-fronts.
But now that we have Spartacus
with us, what are We going to do
about it?

name the German ultra-radicals adop-

shingle in the blood-letting business.
But that sort of name never would

Jerusalem, Jan. 1.-(By mail)-
The life Of two periods, distant by
many centuries, seems to flow along
the roads that lead to this ancient
city.
The camel, though he has done
great things for the British forces,
is losing his position, as the main
means of transport, and the natives
driving their camels carrying huge
packs of eastern merchandise, are
passed by the big engines Of the ever
growing British broadguage railway,
at which the country people stare
with open-mouthed astonishment.
Then along will come an Assyrian
or an Arab on his donkey or mule,
his wife walking behind and carry
ing great pack on her head In
this way they transport much stuff
for many miles. Now they are
smothered in dust from the great
quantity of motor transport on the
roads.
The five barley loayes and small
fishes still have to feed a good many
people in this country and women
may still be seen grinding their scan
ty cup Of corn between stones, but
now with the introduction of good
seed the country already is showing
signs of vast improvement. Cotton
is still made up into rough material
