EHY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wRE1
Chrlstiania, Dec "a Norwegian
engineer has devised plan to provide
water and electric power for Palestine
at an initial cost of $40,000,000, Al
bert Hjorth of this city, proposes to
utilize the variation of the level be-
tween the Mediterranean and the Dead
Sea and, by means of a tunnel for
water, to provide electric power to be
used for pumping stations, irrigation
and general purposes
MIR. Hjorth proposes to dig tunnel
thifty-seven miles long, from the
Mediteri anean to the Dead Sea-, pass
ing under Jerusalem. This tunnel
would carry water from the Mediter-
ranean to the western slopes of the
lower end of the Jordan valley. Thence
the water would pass through pipes
down to the Dead Sea, where power
plant would transform the water
power into electricity, to be distrib-
uted as light and power through the
country. This power would be used
to drive a pumping station at the
southern end of the Sea Of Galilee
(Lake Gennesaret)
The surface Of the Dead Sea is about
1900 feet below sea level that of the
Sea Of Galilee 500 feet below sea level.
states, show that tens OF thousands of
horsepower might be developed in
this way by means OF a tunnel carry
Ing twenty tons Of water per second
He estimates the rise of the Dead Sea
caused by this at not more than part
of yard per year. The surface of
the sea which is now about 1000
square miles would be allowed to in
crease to about $500 square miles.
The canals would be built running
parallel with the river Jordan and
from these canals water could be dis
tributed among the fields soping to-
ward the Jordan sufficient, 1t is claim
ed, for the irrigation of many hum
dreds of thousands Of acres.
Mr. Hjorth claims 1t would be no
more difficult to build this tunnel
than the proposed railway tunnel I'M

mates the cost Of Dead Sea tunnel
tdouble) with minimum area of 135
square feet at 100000 600, to which
must, be added the cost OF the power
plants. factories, canals and irrigation
works. 1t Is pointed out that the es-
timated cost involved In this plan does
not compare unfavorably with the ir-
rigation works constructed in Asia and
America during the past decade.
Mr.. Hjorth's plans have met with
Great sympathy among leading scien-
tific authorities and practical engi-
neers in Norway 1t is proposed to
send out Norwegian technic-scien-
tific expedition which. with the an
ticipated support of the governments
of the great powers interested, will
proceed to Palestine and make
years thorough investigation of all the
conditions relative to the realization
of this projeet--topograp hical, hydrol-
ogical, technical, geological, hygenic.
etc.
If the matter reaches such a stage
that the realization OF this great pro-
jeot can seriously be contemplated the
resources of Norway will not suffice
alone, but the aid Of international cap
ital will be invited

FEMALE WORKERS ARE
NUMEROUS TN FINLAND

Icy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEAKED WtRE1
-4elsingfors, Dec. Am astonishing
sight for the stranger in Finland 10
the number of women engaged in al
most every field of employment. In
England during the war one became
accustomed to the sign Of women
performing various kinds of work in
which previously only men were en-
gagged But in Finland the visitor gets
the impression that the women are
doing everything, They even serve
as porters on sleeping cars.
Not only are they at heavy manual
work In fields and factories but they
have become skilled as mechanics and
have invaded business offices to an
extent that is probably undreamed of
in any other country.
In banks, the proportion of women
employees to men appears to be about
10 to |. In the biggest financial in
situations in Hesingfors, women hold
positions involving great responsibility
and calling for exceptional ability.
At the Finnish foreign office, the
Associated Press correspondent no.
ticed that women were holding offices
that would be entirely beyond the as
pirations of their sisters in the state
department at Washington or the Brit
ish foreign office.
This change has come about almost
over night. Finlands man power has
been greatly depleted, and a large
part of what is left is required for mil
itary service.
The Finnish business woman is re-
smarkably keen and intelligent. She
has a kind of masculine interest and |
absorption in her work that seems to
admit of no margin for sentiment or
frivolity. She dresses simply and |
smartly, as do the majority of the |
city-bred women of this country. An |
American walking through the prin-
cipal streets of Helsingfors might we'll |
believe Judging from the costumes
and brisk walk of the Finnish women,
that he was in the heart of Chicago.

wholetime workers like cathedral or

leisure in which to make living. But
the appointment was as organist and
not as teacher of music. and since the
church had the first claim upon his

to each post should be sufficient.
