THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Sir Edmund ANenby,
is 1T YOURS?
APRIL g, 1851.
is 1T YOURS?

Sir Edmund Allenby. the man who
freed Palestine. is one OF the Worlo
greatest men. When history has writ
ten the story OF the great war. Allen
bys name will rank with those OF
t-och. Haig, Joffre and Pershing.
he was born in England April %.
1851. After the usual military course
OF training he joined the lnniski'ling
Dragons and first saw service with
them. He fought in Zululand. and took
part in the South African campaigns
and went out with the Egyptian ex-
peditionary force. Then he was sent
TO take charge of the army in Paies-
tine.
Up 70 that time the British had not
made a very good record in the Holy
Lands AlIenby went from Egypt over
the deserts, building a railroad behind
him for supplies and troops. There
has been a legend among the Jews
from biblical times that Jerusalem
would never be free until the waters OF
the Nile should flow into the city. a
thing which seemed quite impossible.
AS AlIenby drove the Turks back they
poisored the wells. "a he knew they
would. so to supply his army with
pure water. he built a pipe line from
the Nile extending il as he advanced.
so that now the waters of the Nile do
indeed flow into the Holy City. and
the prophecy has come true. Allenby
has made JerVsalem free-and SAM
tary. Behind him in the fighting were
thousands OF London cockney cru
saders"

THE AUTOMOBILE "sptslAlls1."

An automobile owner starting nj
tie Gasoline Alley" conversation the
other day complained that what is
needed is an expert who can put q car
into shape: one who understands thor
oushly the car he is working on" His
remedy for the condition Of which he
complained is 10 employ specialists as
in professions. He would have one
car he had taken 10 specialist. This
specialist had been in charge Of q
fleet Of cars overseas OF the MAKE
owned by the plaintiff. This boy knew
that car better than the man who
made 1t. Broke out another car ovIrr
who had similar experience with
Well. Soandso had charge OF a lot Of
Suchscar over in France and he knows
just what 10 do. He even knows where
10 get the parts without going TO the
car manufacturer He buys them OF
the people that make them for the
Suchacar factory"
Specialization is the order O, the
day. The war made many automobile
specialists. They are coming home
day after day. The remarks Of the
"Gasolene Alley" pair OF conversations
alists is a hint to them and to the
auto owning public at large. 1t is also
hint TO the employer Of meeha MICS
who work on automobiles. OF the
commoner makes Of cars there are
surely enough in every community to
demand and employ one of those war
made specialists.
Perhaps ere long the car owner will
seek his own special car doctor as
nowadays We run to eye and ear and
surgical specialists in the medical pro-
>ession. The man who knows one car
thoroughly would be the man to care
for that car logically and satisSacto--
I'y. Best Of all those specialists will
be in our midst" soon.

And Dick pohed out mis- furry chest.

leaned backwards. You see, he was
awfully important now, and he felt
very proud Of Betsy. And Billy was
overcome with Joy at having a new

USING PERSECUTION FOR COVER.

The politicians let Governor Harding
of with what many observers will
deem very much the equivalent of a
Scotch verdict but the governor is
kidding himself when he thinks that
ne can bury his disgrace by accusing
Des Moines newspaper Of stirring up
the Rathbun pardon case 70 persecute
him.
The newspaper had nothing to do
with granting e pardon TO a confessed
rapist nor did it aid in concealing the
pardon from the state board Of parole
The governor did ali of that.
The newspaper had nothing 10 DO
with the $4,000 that was paid to a
lawyer for a pardon nor with the
lawyers immediate journey to the
governors office upon receipt Of the
money nor with the offer the lawyer
made 10 try to get another pardon Just
like this one for the same price. 1t
was the governors friend, the Ida
Grove lawyer, who had such unusual
access to the governors pardon box
who did all Of that.
The newspaper did not tell the lesis-
lature to go to hell when the law
makers inquired Of the chief executive
why he had issued so indefensible a
pardon nor did the newspaper compel
the governor to admit later that he
knew that Rathoun had been guilty OF
rape,
The particular newspaper was quite
sore when General Byers was selected
by the governors friends to conduct
the Investigation SO the newspaper
certainly did not cause General Byers
to advise tho legislature that the evi
dence justified impeachment for the
governor.
In fact the governors nearest and
dearest friends, his private sevretary
and mis- personal body guard seem to
have been banking all kinds of money
which the newspaper never heard
about until it was disclosed in the
testimony and some Of it was not even
underst andable by the governors as.
sistant himself. A martyrs cry Of per.
secution by newspaper is common
cover for politicians who can't thrive
in daylight. 1t may fool q few but II
can never restore public confidence in
