SQUARE feet and square inches.
Some very interesting pen drawings OF
roosters, cranes, the horn of plenty, etc.,
caught the eye The muscular movement
was demonstrated in running ovals, whee's
and other designs.
Passing on to the Seventh Grade exhibit,
our attention was drawn to a diagram OF
residence for which the first cost OF erection
was TO be ascertained; then the cost OF new
floor in the living room, of plasterlng bed
room. of curtaining the dining room, and the
amount a boy could save his father by IN
stalking an electric bell instead of hiring the
services of an electrician.
There also were problems comparing the
expense of raising chickens to the cost OF
bee culture.
In the Eighth Grade, we found practical
problems and lessons in banking; also con-
tinuous business transactions between firms
in business letters, the computing of interest,
etc.
There were problems in square root; also
in finding the volume of prlsms, pyramids,
cones and cylinders.
Aside from this, there were problems IN
dressmaking, in finding the pressure OF
steam. and wide variety of other practical
subjects.
One problem read: A man bought 5

houses; lilies become six feet in diameter
and strong enough to support the weight of
man. Along the river, flocks of thousands
of long-legged and long billed birds are
seen.
Some tributaries of the Amazon, near its
source, never have been explored. Roose-
welt penetrated the region and is said to
have discovered a new river. The dense
jungle along the river cannot be penetrated
by white men and is traversed only by the
native Indians, who follow paths known
only to themselves.
1t would be useless to cut road through
the jungle, as the luxuriant plant life would
spring up and choke it, almost overnight.
Modern engineering therefore has been help
less against the natural difficulties of the
region. Even if roads could be kept clear,
the ground is SO damp and soft that no
railroad could be built which would support
trains of cars.
Other natural difficulties are great. Ma
larial fevers strike down white men. Dense
swarms of mosquitoes make life almost un-
bearable. Modern science, which triumphed
over mosquitoes and malaria in the Panama
Canal Zone, would have different PROPOSE

Every day the year round, the most vio-
lent equatorial thunder storms take place in

quickly gather, then heavy black ones, and
suddenly the storm bursts.
Of intense interest were the compositions
on famines. Famines may result from va
rious causes = to long periods of drought
and consequent failure of crops, to hot
winds, to invading armies of insects, to
untimely frosts etc. War is one of the most
prolific causes, and we have seen striking
instances of this during the years of the
late war Great fanlines Of the world, from
the earliest on record in Egypt down to the
present time, were described.
In India, at one time, loaf of bread sold
for $38 In Egypt, one rulers stables were
| reduced from ten thousand horses to three
skinny nags.' Human flesh sold for food
One of thesworst famines in France was
caused by the extravaganza of the French
court and the exorbitant taxes imposed upon
| the people in order that it might be main
| tanned. The great historical famine of
Ireland was caused by failure of the DO
| tato crop.
Modern transportation systems have been
a great agency in relieving famine condi-
tons. If one country suffers, food is ship
ped in from elsewhere. Mr.. Hoover and
his corps of assistants are doing notable
work along that line in Europe, at the pres
ent time
But there are many districts in eastern
Europe where everything is SO disorganized
and the conditions so awful, that the popu-
lace cannot be reached, and in these, peo-
pie are dying Of starvation in countless null
titudes.
According to prophecy, during the time
of the Great Tribulation, transportation
systems, crop-rasing and all organized
government will be paralyzed to such an ex-
tent by labor upheavals, general strikes, an
archy and lawlessness Of every description
that the most terrible famines in the world
history will result beside which those OF
| the past, will seem as chi1d's play.

JEWS IN EUROPE
ARE TURNING TO
PALESTINE HOME
Rich and Poor of Every Land
Are Storing Up Means to
Reach Native Country.
Some to Go on Foot.

NEW YORK, July 25-In every eoun-
try In Europe, in Asia, In Africa, IN
North and South and Central America
where surveys have been made by the
International Zionist organization. the
Jewish world is stirred TO its uttermost
depths by the desire to proceed to Pal
estine, at the very earliest possible
moment. A statement issued by the
Zionist publicity bureau says that In
every land, in every quarter Of the
globe, impatient thousands, n total
far above a million. are awaiting with
tense eagerness for the league of ma
tions, that win fix the political status
of Palestine as the Jewish homeland,
20 that they may proceed to the liquida-
tion Of their assets and proceed to the
place where they may live the rest Of
their lives in peace, and with the spir-
itual satisfaction Of national existence.
From Russia at least a million are pre-
pairing TO leave, from Poland and other
countries, groups unable to restrain
their impotence, have already underta-
ken, often on foot, the journey which at
present is beset with many difficulties,
and attempted to make their way to the
land Of Jewish hearts desire.
Jews Wish to Go.
In the preface to a survey revealing
this remarkable mobilization for Pal
estine, the immigration division of the
International Zionist organization says
that 1t is a literal fact that at the pres
ent moment a large part of the Jewish
people is possessed with an irrepres-
sible impulse to strike its tents and

Million From Russia.
Speaking Of the situation in Russia,
Mr.. Boris Goldberg, chairman OF the
Zionist organization of Great Russia
and one OF the delegates to the inter-
allied Zionist conference held recently
in London, reports that during the last
20 months, under h pressure OF the
social revolution as carried through by
the B~olsheviks, the basis OF the eco
nomic existence Of the Jews has been
undermined. The subsistence Of 20 to
rs per cent Of the Jewish population has
been destroyed. From the beginning OF
1918 the Weather classes have been
leaving for the Ukraine, Lithuania and
the Don district, Crimea and White
Russia But in the fall Of 1918 the dom
ination Of the Bolsheyiks spread TO
these countries and the civil war which
ensued ruined the Jewish masses. 1T
was only natural therefore that when
the news arrived Of the prospect Of cree
ating a Jewish homeland In Palestine
that there should have arisen an enor-
o agitation for resettlement in Pal
estine," says Mr.. Goldberg. whole
Jewish towns and townships began to
make themselves ready TO move as soon
as communications should be opened.
When the announcement was made that
immigration would be limited to 80, 900
a year, for the first period, strong pro-
tests were raised against the plan as
being quite inadequate to the present
needs Of the people. Cooperative So
cieties are being organized, experiment.
