PALESTINE To COPY
AMERICAN CITIES
u. S. Towns To Be Duplica-
ted On Desert Sands
OF Holy Land

Boston, March 13.-Future cities
and towns in Palestine will be repli-
cas- of localities in the United States,
according to messages received from
all parts of the country by the New
England Zionist Bureau. American
architectural beauties, street layouts
and parks will be miniatured in the
Holy Land of the Jews.
The first city 20 be established in
Palestine will be Lynn, named after
the Massachusetts shoe. city. More
than 100000 worth of land certifi-
Gates have been purchased by the
city's Jewry. The Lynn emigrants
say they will make every possible at
tempt to reprint the city of Lynn on
the sands of the Palestine desert.
The exodus of Boston Jews to Pal
estine; which is expected to reach its
peak in the late summer, will mean
that a new Boston will be founded to
the Palestine coast. Maps of Boston
will be reproduced in the Holy Land
as far as advisable, Mendell Fisher,
of the Zionist bureau, said.
kilograms reveal that there will
be a New York, Chicago, San Fran
cisco and Philadelphia in the Holy
Land.
''If we can duplicate American
cities in Palestine" said Mr.. Fisher,
ut will mean that a good many more
Jews will leave this country for their
own land. When it is seen that the
hardships are over, that we have troll
ley cars in the Palestine cities, mod
ern buildings rivaling those in this
country, communal societies which
are anxious for the welfare of the
people then we'll have general emf
grafton across the seas.
Probably 10000 jews of the
United States would leave this coun-
try as soon as Britain lifts the re-
strictions. The United States Jews,
because of their advanced culture and
financial backing, would be able to
name the majority of the cities after
American names. Already mainten-
ance and development work has been
started in Palestine in ten branches.

to remove excess moisture and resin.
The slabs when properly dried are
fed into machines which automatical-
ly cut six semicircular grooves in one
side of each.
A stick of lead is placed in each
groove of q slab and another slab,
with glue brushed over its grooved
surface is laid on so that the six leads
are covered above and below with
wood. The next operation is per-
formed by machine that cuts the
pencils out-six from each block
and works them into the shape de-
sired, round, triangular, hexagonal,
etc. a sanding machine then rubs
their surfaces down smooth. Some
of the cheaper kinds are given no fur
ther finish. The better ones, how
ever, are coated with varnish, plain
or colored.
In one of the vanishing processes
most generally used the pencils pass
one at time through apertures in a
machine which automatically gives
coat of varpish to each as it goes
through. After the first coat has
dried sufficiently the pencils are fed
through the machines several more
times, being allowed to dry between
coats, until the desired finish has
been obtained.
The more expensive ones get 10 OF
more such coats. In another ma
chine-varnishing process the pencils,
held in a frame, are immersed in a
pan of varnish and then slowly drawn
out and dried For the finest finishes a
final hand polishing is given the pen
ellis.
A machine now sands off the ends
to remove the varnish that has dried
there and sharp knives trim them
smoothly. Gold or silver letters may
be stamped on by laying on each pen
Gil a narrow strip of gold or silver
leaf and then bringing it under
heated steel die which makes the leaf
stick to the pencil under the letters
on the die. BY means of linked dies
letters may be printed much the same
as on paper, etc.

used for erasing are made in great

CRAPSHOOTER WINS
FROM TENAS JUDGE

Dallas, Tex, March 13.-George
Washington Jackson Smith, a young
negro, appeared in Justice Court
here, charged with participating in a
dice game. He told Sam J. Barnett,
justice of the peace, that negroes
liked to toy with those bright-eyed
ping-pong balls just as much as you
likes to eat" and he pulled from his
pocket a pair of black dice with red
"eyes" and proceeded to show the
justice how to play the game.

of $780," said Judge Barnett, but l

ARMISTICE DAY CASUALTIES

The Acknowledgements office has
reported that the total casualties
among the American forces on armis-
tice day, Nov. IL, 1918, amounted to
1912. OF this number 26S were kill
ed in action, 2,769 wounded severely,
466 wounded slightly, III gassed
slightly, 216 wounded, degree I'M
determined, and 16 gassed, degree
undetermined. The largest number
killed was in the SSth division. Some
directors have argued that it was an
unnecessary sacrifice of life and
limb to continue fighting on the last
day, when it was pretty certain that
hostilities would cease. But the
Huns might have only been playing
a trick, and it would have been the
height of folly to relax the operations
against them. The fighting, IF any
thing, should have been continued
until peace was made in Berlin. The
Huns tricked the allies as it was.

Principal Newton is away from the
Hill on business connected with the
900 Centennial drive now in progress
and the administration of the school is
left in the hands of vice principal. G.
G.. Clarke. The closest cooperation is
found between faculty and students and,
although this absence makes extra work
for members of teaching staff,
everyone is doing his or her share in
cooperating with those in charge. The
students are vitality interested in seeing
that promised gymnasium erected on
the campus and of course all true
kent's Hill people are anxious to have
their faculty properly paid. AS the fu-
ture of the school is very closely
wrapped up in the outcome of this
drive. every step in the campaign is be-
ing followed with the closest attention
and interest. The students themselves
are trying to do something to assist
financially and already one concert has
been given. 1t has been suggested that
tie senior play, which was admittedly
the best given here in years, be repeat
cd either in Readfield, Winthrop or Au
gusta and if arrangements can be made
this plan will probably be carried out.

A Bad Year for Babies

Sec'y Torsleff Of the Maine Baby Saw
ing Society reports as follows:
There were 1881 babies born in Maine
in 1917. In that same period 1884 babies
died under one year % age. This is one
baby death to every 10 births. In that
year 1881 died under five years of age.
This is one for every nine births.
According to statistics only one man
in so died in the trenches overseas.
Against this put the death-rate among
babies in Maine and we see it was more
dangerous to be born in Maine that year
than to face the terrible Huns" In the
troublesome death in 20: in Maine
