for duty as a " worker with this regi-
 ment, the records that had been made by the previous representatives of the Y. M c. A. were such that it would be hard matter to beat them, but that I was satisfied from what I knew of you
 that you would at least tie the other Y workers. @ Tn my opinion, too much praise can
 not be given the Y. M. c. A. for the ex- cellent work they have done and are do- ing for our men over here. As you know from personal observation since you have been with us, the " workers are l present in time of need and get some of the luxuries of life to the men that they would not otherwise get. As commanding officeh of the regiment I wash to thank | you personally for your excellent efforts and your many deeds of valor and kind7 ness shown all through our har(V cam-
 paigns in which you were present with
 us from first to last. In my opinion, there | is nothing that the Y. NJ c. A. can ask
 of the people of Alabama which they
 would not give if they knew half of the I eAceHehl Work pelhg done by your orr ] ganization."

How Pipe Reveals Character.

new method of telling mans
character is now advanced by william
+. Critchlow, ninety, of Macon, No.
He said:
You can tell more about man by
the way he lights his pipe than you
can by the shape of his head. There's
the fellow who strikes a match on the
south end of his trousers. holds his
hands over the bowl until he gets II
going. throws down the match any old
place. and tllts his pipe up toward the
North Star, That man may burn down
his home and barn. but he'll never
lick his wife or children, because his
hearts right.
Crooks and bad men don't often
smoke pipes. They wouldn't be crooks
II they did, because there's something
about an old hickory pipe that inspires
man to play fair with his nelghbors."

Get Necessary KNOWLEDGE.

Most of life's great mistakes are due
to insufficient knowledge. In the early
days of the great war battles ragged
on the eastern front. There are the
great lakes and marshes. Victory as
rule came to the man who knew the
ground best. One of the great gener-
ais made 1t his program to lure his
opponents into the lake region and then
deliver swift blows in the time of his
foes bewilderment. The difference be-
tween grades of mental power is not
so great, but it's the training and the
knowledge and application that makes
the great differences between men.
When mans ready to do his own
rough work he isn't likely to have
things put across on him." The ten
derfoot has always been joke among
his fellows. He is common bait. Let
him show little aggressiveness and

Blunders he will make, but he will re-

NEW LIFE FOR HOLY LAND

1.-THE desert shall rejoice and bios
som like the rose." old Isaiah prophe-
sled.
British has at last opened the Holy
land to the enterprise Of the West, re-
marks the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
Captain Carson Of the American Red
Cross commission, which followed Gen.
eral Allenby, tells US that the first
problem Of improvement encountered
was that Of water supply. That part
Of Palestine south Of Beersheba has
been piped with water from the Nile
by British engineers with American
equipment-the realization, 1t Is said.
of a dream thousands of years old
Several million gallons day are
pumped from the canal near Kantara
across the SueZ canal into Palestine.
At Kantara rapid sand filters are used.
The pipes are laid at least eighteen
inches deep in the soil or sand of the
desert in order to protect them and
the water from heat. North of Beer
sheba there Is plenty of water under
the surface, though very little, owing
to the geologic formation and meteorO-
logic conditions of Palestine, remains
easily available. On the western slopes,
however, the valleys form excellent
reservoir sites for collecting the win
ter rains, though they would often
have to be treated to prevent loss by
percolatiOn.
The problem of the water supply of
Jerusalem has been attacked by such
noted men as Hezekiah-who con-
structed tunnel which is today an al
most uneXplainable engineering feat
Solomon, Pontius PLATE and Herod.
In the spring of 1918 the British, us
ing much of the Roman work, installed
a six-inch line from the springs of
Wady-el-Arab, about sixteen miles
south Of Jerusalem. through which
more than 100000 gallons a day are
now flowing into the city.
1t is said that Jerusalem could be
furnished with more than 20,OOO,OOO
gallons day of pure water. Almost
every house in the city has its rain
water cistern, and these, with proper
inspection by the newly organized
health department, are being filed
with safe water.
