MODERN PALESTINE
 HARBOR WILL COST. SEVEN MILLIONS
Jonah Would Be Amazed Now at Port From Which He Sailed Some 2,000
 Years Ago
By Associated Press

Jaffa, Palestine, December 10.-It the prophet Jonah should return with In the next few months to this little atavistic port, whence he set sail some 2,o00 years ago on his tempestu' ous voyage, he probably would be amazed at the metamorphosis.
 After all these centuries, modern. ism, in the form of a twentieth cen tury harbor, is about to make its commercial encroachments upon this basking seashore, whose name was Joppa when Jonah knew 1t.
 For some years and particularly since the Bitish occupation, a har- bor for Palestine has been talked of. but only now is this dream of easy ingress and egress to and from the cradle of Christianity about to be realized.
 An Italian banking syndicate, hay ing satisfied itself that great com mercial possibilities are wrapped up in new-old Palestine, has offered to advance the necessary capital, sub ject to adequate governmental gaur- antees, and the actual work is ex- pected soon to begin.
 The plans as drawn call for the ex penditure of a sum not to exceed $7,000. .000, to be retired with interest within 30 years.
 The harbor is to be located direct ly opposite the section of the old city of Bible times, making the present customs house central point from which the extension will be made northward and southward. It is to comprise three sections, one devoted entirely to freight and passenger ships, one to shipbuilding and re- nairfnP and one to fishing
 Lack of proper harbor facilities has been one of the greatest impedi- ments to commercial development Of Palestine, and, consequently, the in habitants are looking with keen an ticipation upon the time when large ships can dock easily on Palestine's shores. When the weather is stormy and the sea rough, it Is now practical ly impossible for boats to come even within three miles of land, where even in mild weather all ships have to be loaded and unloaded with the Is estimated at least S1OO,000 aid of small, obsolete craft. Thus IL year can be saved on the loading and unloading item alone, to say nothing of the inevitable effect better ship ping facilities will have on the cost of living which is now excessively high.
 Commensurate with harbor inn provement, the city of Jaffa itself Is making plans to come out of it's lethargy and reap rich rewards. ln- 6ependent commercial interests al ready are laying plans to develop four miles of water front, intending to build storerooms, restaurants, hotels and private homes for the benefit ot traders and tourists.

NEW OAKLAND
 BAD MODELS

Interest in the automobile world has been centered this week on the remarkable guarantee announced py the Oakland Motor Car company on it's new Oakland 34-D models.
 The Oakland company absolutely guarantees the Oakland motors Tn these cars against what is generally known as ''oil pumping" for l5,ooo miles, or not over a period Of two years This special written Oakland guarantee, provided for the original purchaser of the car, is given py every Oakland dealer.
 The main provision of the guaran- tee is contained in the following pa ragraph: Should the engine Of this car fail to perform properly. due to the presence of excess oil in the com bustion chamber (commonly known as "oil pumping" and evidenced by oil on the sparks), the Oakland dealer who delivered this car to you VIII remedy the cause of the trouble With out cost to you of either material or labor"
 The written guarantee is consid- cred remarkable because 1t protects the motorist against an annoyance met by drivers of cars, and because 1t IS one of the very few performance guarantees" ever given by any auto mobile company.
 It is no secret that "oil pumping has been a problem to motor car man ufacturers, dealers and owners. It all most invariably results in deposit of oil on spark plugs, which snort GIT cults the ignition and causes miss ing" It has been pronounced Of late years because of the low gravity fuels and low grade lubricating oils com monly used.
 The Oakland Motor Car company's written guarantee has been made pos sible by the new and original fea- lures of the Oakland Six motor.
 Cylinder walls are 'honed' to q glass-like smoothness by process perfected in the Oakland factory. Special alloy pistons have been de- signed which carry "oil sealing" pis- ton rings of exclusive design.
 That Oakland engineers have fully solved the problem of "oil pumping is best indicated by this unusual writ ten guarantee.
 Mccormack Bros. are local Oakland distributors.

MUSIC IN ARMY
 ID BE ELEVATED
Will Soon Compare With That of Best 0rchestras and
 Bands of Country
By Associated Press

Washington. December 10.--Army music soon will compare with that or the best orchestras and bands of the country. Popular music will be sup plemented by the classical master pieces and a superband and orchestra will be created from army musicians.
 General Pershing already has or dered the establishment here of the army music school and Walter Dam rosch. conductor of the New York symphony orchestra, has pledged him assistance in work of organization. Both are determined through the school to elevate music in the army.
 The object of the school, as outlined in the orders issued by General Per shing, "is to give courses of in struction in music. both practical and theoretical, elementary and advanced, to student -bandsmen, to advanced in strumentalists (soloists), and to stu dent-band leaders. to standardize the perfect band music, and to supply trained personnel therein to meet, as fully as possible, the needs of the service"
 The first move to better army music was UlduS DN dtiiCA al cA SAiAheS o1cAA after he took over the office of chief of staff. One of his first actions was to transfer the school from Fort Jay. N. Y, to Washington, and direct that it be reorganized as a super band, comparable only to the splendid band which was organized in France.
 "Washington, of course" he said. would be the only place suitable for it's organization"
 These statements were contained in an exchange of correspondence be- tween the general and Mir. Damrosch. The latter first was opposed to the removal of the school from New York, believing students would have better advantages to hear good music and study 1t in New York than in Washington. He later reconsidered and offered his assistance in making the school all that the general pro- posed. It was MT. Damrosch who or ganized the famous 'Pershing's Own at Chaumont. headquarters of the American expeditionary forces, which won great distinction among the military hands of the allied armies and later was sent to tour the United States during one of the Liberty loan campaigns.
 The movement to improve music in the army has as it's objective the ul- innate graduation from the school of enough men to give each regiment a highly trained musical organization able to compete with the best bands and orchestras in concerts for the publics entertainment as well as that of the army. Thus, General Pershing hopes to find another tie between the army and the people of the country, to give each a better and more in- innate understanding of the other ana to blot out any impression that the military and the citizenry must move in different circles.
 First evidences of the success of the school were exhibited recently when the students were used to well come the various armament confer ence delegations The school band was called upon to furnish music for the reception at the Union station and attracted attention in every instance by the perfection with which 1t played.

on, they declare, unless something Is done about it--it won't be many mill lion years before we shall have two or three full moons every month and four or five tides instead of two every day.
 Imagine the consequences. The wis itors to summer hotels, when that time comes, will be obliged to over hear the moonings of moonstruck couples on the verandas at least twice as often as they now do. Criminals. taking advantage of the dark of the moon," will have twice as many op- portunities for their deeds. Crave yard ghosts will scarcely get any rest at all, and the demand for rabbits feet will force the price far out of reach of the common man obliged to pass by a cemetery on his way home from his nocturnal toll.
 Means Higher Taxes
 All this, coupled with the fact that publishers of almanacs and calendars will have to scrap their whole stock of tables and plates. means a direct loss to the community that is certain to be reflected in higher taxes, unem- p1oyment and general misery. And why? Simply because a man with a fine sounding title and an unmis- takably German name has been all lowed to spread his subversive doc trine amid the general indifference of the great patriotic and conservative masses.
 Nor Is this all The matter of the tides alone concerns every citizen. lit- tie as he may realize it. If it is true. and it has never been successfully contested. that time and tide wait for no man, how much more so will 1t be the case when the said tides are bob bing up and down every few hours all along the American coasts. from Maine to Texas and from Seattle to San Diego. Some may say they have never asked the tides to wait for them. and that they may go hang. but this Is a selfish and short-sighted at titude to take.
 Tn view of this menace, what is be- ing done by our public authorities Can anybody point to single bill in- troduced in the parliament of any allied country putting stop to this sort of tampering with things that have always given satisfaction just as they are, and that the vast ma iority of people the world over would prefer to maintain on their present historical and traditional basis? To look at the record one would think that our legislators were perfectly content to have the moon racing around In it's orbit at a reckless pace,
