Men FOR PALESTINE
Zionist Official Appeals for TO-
900 Volunteer Workers.
Are Necessary for the Basic Recon-
structIon of the Jewish National
Homeland.

Jerusalem.-Ten thousand volun-
teers, chosen from veterans Of the
world war, the Jewish Legion, and
skilled workmen, to enlist at once for
Is months service in a Jewish indus
trial army in Palestine, are necessary
for the basic reconstruction work Of
the Jewish national homeland accord
ing to Bernard A. Rosenblatt, presi-
dent of the American Zion common
wealth, who is now in Palestine in the
interests of "Balfourla," the colony Of
the American Zion commonwealth.
Mr.. Rosenblatt recommends regu-
lar army organization with a general
staff Of three which, as a Jewish in
dustrial commission, will supervise
the work of the Jewish labor army in
rebuilding the Holy Land.
-Our biggest task, once the call Is
issued for volunteers, will be In stiff
ing out the applicants and determin-
ing upon the 10000 to CO." he said.
''They could all be occupied In the one
task of building houses for future I'm
migrants. The army should work only
on land belonging to the Jewish ma
ton, lands secured from the Palestine
government, from the Jewish national
fund, the American Zion common
wealth or other agencies of the Zion
list organization"
In addition to the construction of
houses he points out that such an
army would be busted In preparing
land for immediate settlement, irriga-
ton, afforestration, sanitation and en-
cheering works necessary for the de-
velopment of industry and commerce.
"The nucleus for such an industrial
army is already in Palestine In the
cooperative groups, working on the
lands Of the Jewish national fund and
in the group that Is developing Bal
fouria,' the first colony of the Ameri-
can Zion commonwealth" he con.
Guided II am convinced after two
visits to Palestine that only through
such a huge disciplined Jewish labor
army, will we be able TO reconquer
the land Of our forefathers."

In Rapa the women are the hewers
OF wood and the drawers of water. In
other happy climes Of Micronesia and
Polynesia the self-appointed "lord OF
creation" will deign to raise his hand
aloft, and pluck for himself the fruit
of the banana and orange tree. In
Rapa, however, he will not even feed
himself.

the family, after foraging for food and
cooking II, must also put 1t into the
mouth Of her lord and master. They

toss them into the open mouths OF the

Not Worried by Clothes.
The people of Rapa wear no clothes
Or did not until a scandaliZed white
missionary from Tahiti insisted on
gathering some old garments from his
more favored parishioners In Papeete
and hurried them to Rapa.
Rapa, known also as Oparo, is one OF
the most isolated and most interesting
islands In the South Pacific. 1t lies
south of Tahiti, far out In the tropics,
included In the French settlements In
Oceania and inhabited by Polynesians
of the same type as the Tahitians.

with strange castle-like peaks rising
In the interior. 1t possesses a good
harbor, and, what is most unique In
the South Sea islands, has deposits OF
coal, not Of very good quality, though
When the Panama canal was near.
. Ing completion there was much talk in
Tahiti of establishing coaling station
here, Rapa being close to the southern

When oil shale IS used with the

To eliminate smoke in an crdi-

necessary 10 open the door Of the fire
box from two to four inches. This
causes cold air to rush over the fire
and prevent the smoke showing The
reason for the smoke not showing
