BETHLEHEM TODAY
 IS MOST UP-TO-DATE !. TOWN IN PALESTINE
Clair Price Describes Visit to Birthplace of Christ, Sacred City to All
 Christians
By CLAIR PRICE

special Staff Correspondent of the Ed
 has just returned from the Holy Land.
 The district of Bethlehem covers 15O square miles of country. It is bounded on the north by Jerusalem, on the south and west by the province of Hebron and on the east by the Dead sea. It is one Of the districts of the province of Jerusalem the most i'm portant of the 10 provinces into which the occupied enemy territory adminis- tration (southl of the British army. has divided Palestine. Capt. R P. Gladstone is the deputy military gov ernor of Bethlehem.
 The Bethlehem district contains five villages and six Bedouin tribes, Belt Lahm (Bethlehem) itself has a popu- Ia tion of 1000 Christians 500 Moslems and one Jew. The presence of Beth lehems lone Jew is explained by the fact that he is a doctor. Nazareth and Bethlehem are known throughout Pal estine as towns that will not tolerate Jews
 The Bedouin Of the district are all Moslems. but are less interested in their religion than in their flocks. Nobody knows how many of them there are. Years of Turkish rule have associated any attempt at census with conscription in their minds. The Turkish mudirs of Bethlehem never visited them except for the purpose of rouging men or taxes out of them Accordingly, it has been the great task of the British to win their con fidence.
 The hospitality of the Bedouin Arabs is a worldwide tradition. Immediately 'non the arrival of their guest sheep Is killed for him. In the sheikh's tent
 sually the first tent to the right of the entrance to their encampment, coffee is served If the little cup is served full 1t is the guests cue to get out. He is unwelcome. If there is but drop of cof- fec at the bottom of the cup it Is an in- dication that he is welcome and that there is more to follow. In all three cups of coffee are served-one to be trunk to the guest, another to his sword and the third to his enjoyment. The newly killed sheep, when dressed, is stewed in large brass or copper bowl and served over layers of bread, rice and a yellow gravy. When this is served the guest picks his portion out of the bowl with his fingers offering the first fir gerful to his host, the sheilSh. and shortly after offering part of his portion

 By their invitation. Captain Gladstone is frequently the guest of the Bedouin. but he is scrupulous in avoiding any mention of either flocks or men. Instead, he talks of horse racing, of the price of grain at Madaba and of the caravan to Gaza. As a result, the British have all ready succeeded in accomplishing what .N,, ps~l-z rF~t.

AMERICAN SAILORS
 STRAND IN MANILA

Honolulu, December 2.-Ill and des- tiitute American sailors in Manila are being sent back to the United states by the insular collector of customs, all American ships leaving for the Pacific coast being compelled to transport a limited number of these seamen, says the Manila Bulletin.
 Heretofore such needy sailors had been returned to America aboard army transports. but lately the transports have been too crowded to undertake the work.
 To prevent Manila from becoming the dumping ground for discharged Ameri- can seamen. says the Bulletin, requests will be made of the consulate at Hong kong, Shanghai, Singapore and other far eastern ports that they send their destitute sailors home direct.

 Mandels lifelong connection with tne press made him invaluable to the Tiger. He could carry out thousand and one delicate missions that needed both tact and finesse.

For Five Years It Has
 Led Them All

It is one of the reasons that 80,000 owners know the Hudson above all as an endurance car.
 Because of what it has shown, not only in official tests, but in the service of all these owners, the Hudson Super-Six has for nearly five years been the largest selling fine car in the world.
 The supply has never been sufficient for the demand. That often means wait ing for certain wanted models. You will avoid disappointment by placing your Hudson order we'll ahead of the desired delivery date.

The Hudson Super-Six Motor Almost Doubles Efficiency

Thus it is the most powerful for it's size in the world. It is the swiftest, the most enduring, quickest in accelera- tion, the most dependable hill-climber
 Its proofs are in official tests where all may verify them. If any disputes Hudson supremacy, it is not in official tests.
 True you do not need such great speed as Hudson's. You may never meet an obstacle to test it's power limits.
 But they mean in ordinary driving you run the Super-Six at half load In performance at which lesser cars strain, with permanent bad results to the mechanism, the Hudson is easily within its reserve of speed and power

OLD ARGENTA CAMP
Butte and Dillon Men Buy Old
Claims and Prepare to De-
velOp Them

Dillon. Dec. 13-With the present
high price of silver all indications point
to big boom at the old camp of Ar
genta, at one time one of the liviest min
ing centers that Beaverhead county has
ever known.
A group of Butte men headed by Dr.
Scott and John Conda with about 40
well known Dillon business men, ana
others have interested themselves in the
Argenta properties and have purchased
, seven of the claims and secured bond
and lease Of ID others. the properties
including such well-known claims as the
Jack Rabbit. Ferdinand. Magnolia, Bond
and five of the Oppenheimer claims, and
the Copper Bell, all Of which have been
big producers.
The company is known as the Conda
Mining CON pany and it has secured the
services of Jack Stewart as superintend-
ent. Mr. Stewart has been in the mining
game for 40 years and is very enthusiast
tic over the present outlook at Argenta.
If the expected conditions are discov-
cred on the 300-foot level Chicago fl
nanciers have pledged to further the de-
velopment work by sinking shaft 1000
feet. which would necessitate the use
of electric power and would probably
result in bringing a Montana power llne
to Argenta and thence to Bannack for
mine development work.
