The Chamber of Commerce start
ed out to have a fine camp ground

SAMUEL DEPL0RES
LACK OF HARMONY
IN JE RUSALEM
(By Associated Press)

Jerusalem, July 2-Sir Herbert
Samuel, the High Commissioner for
Palestine, on the occasion of the
Kings birthday, addressed repre-
sentative gathering here. In the
cours of his speech he expressed re-
greet that harmony between the dew
otees of different creeds, which he
earnestly desired to promote, had not
vet been attained. He declared that
Great Britain would never impose on
the Palestinian people a policy con-
trary to their religious, political and
economic interests. .... ..-.
Referring to- immigration Sir Her
bert said it must bl definitely recog-
nized that conditions did not admit
of mass immigration. Among new
arrivals, he added, there had been a
number tainted with the "pernicious
doctrines of Bolshevism." Those
who were known to be Bolsheviki had
been arrested and would be expelled
with the exception of those liable to
punishment for completely in the dis
turbances at Jaffa. immigration had
been suspended pending a review of
the situation.
Sir Herbert said he was anxious
that the Palestinian people should be
more closely associated in the ad-
ministfation. Great Britain, he as
sured his hearers, intended to make
provision for the government of Pal
estine in an instrument which would
be registered with the League of Ma
tions. The interests of the nom
Jewish population would be not only
safeguarded by the mandate itself,
but likewise in the instrument re-
ferred to, in which the future consti-
tuition of the country would be de-
fined.
In conclusion Sir Herbert said: 81
earnestly desire to see this land, the
center of sacred associations for
hundreds of millions of men, inhab-
tied by a people kindly and peace
able. Most earnestly do / desire to
see it progressing in quietness and
harmony toward prosperous and
noble future. Let tlte government
and the people unite in their efforts
for the sake of that ideal"

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1921.
Mrs. and Saturn domipate this
day in benehc aspect, according to
astrology. Neptune and Venus are
mildly adverse.
1t is a rule that should be bene-
fetal to all lines of constructive
work. Engineers and contractors
should profit at this time, particu-
| larry in the far West.
Mars again foreshadows honors
and advancement for army officers
and apparently the Secretary OF
War is to gain unusual popularity.
There is a favorable sign for
farmers who will find way to
overcome the disadvantages of deal
ing through middlemen.
Saturn seems to indicat that or
ganization among agriculturists
will benefit all who till the earth.
The new moon of last week which
governs the month of November
seems to indicate discomfort and
murmuring among the people.
Tax burdens will become more
and more unpopular as the new year
approaches.
This Is not a favorable wedding
day, for Neptune Is in a menacins
aspect that BODIES i'll for domestic
harmony.
Hotels come under rather an I'M
favorable influence at this time
when economy will prevent many
from patroniZing them.
Dealers in women's wear may find
that this sway is not encouraging
to trade in costly merchandise.
Many important changes in gov
eminent service, so long contem-
plated will be successful in assuring
sweeping national economics, II the

7 A royal ceremonial of great sig

Persons whose birthdate 1t is

Children born on this day are

Juvenile Book
Week to Start
November IS

There are few things that have
greater effect on the life of a
boy than the books he reads.
They are companions in a real
sense, as are the living friends
with whom he associates. The
story-characters become heroes
and heroines who talk with him
and give him a multitude of his
inspirations. 1t was in recogni-
ton Of these facts that the Ma
tional Boy Scout Council early
in its career launched an an
nual Boy Scouts Week, and or
ganized a library department to
further good reading. This ju-
venile book week Is now OBJ
