An incident that Is rather unusual

came to my attention yesterday. A

lifted the suit case into the car for
her and said, Just sit down. lady.
I'll get your fare" when we came
to the end of the line the lady
wanted to transfer to the Congress
Heights car. The conductor got on
his car. took her basket and suit
case and carried II to the car stop
on the other corner. A young man
was standing at this corner read
ing the paper. The conductor SAID
to him. Help this lady on the car
when It comes" and went back to
his own car. When the Congress
Heights car came another gentle
man, who had seen the incident.

I EWS throughout the world find occasion to
~ rejoice in the final settlement of the troubled
Palestine mandate question. They now have a
homeland-a tangible nucleus for the scattered
race the genius of which has enriched every land
on the face of the globe, has elevated every art.
increased the range of every science and made
life replete with possibilities of happiness for
all of Gods people
The possession of Palestine will be only of SEN
timental value. 1t certainly will not make the race
more prosperous. No great opportunities are
offered there to ambitious Jews. Palestine, it is
probable, always will remain land of poor farm
ers as it always has been. But the sentimental
value may we'll be greater than any possible mate-
rial value. The Jewish race is great no: alone
because of its inbon ability. 1t is great in its
traditions, in its defeats, in its victories in its
sorrows
Placing Palestine at the disposal of the Jewish
people is an act of long delayed justice. Many
Hebfe" leaders have become justly impatient
while the slow negotiations were in progress. But
it must be realized that there were many difficult
ties in the path. Palestine already was occupied
by a race which had established homes and tradi-
tions there, which had given its labors and its
lives to the upbuilding of the country. These
people had a before the court of world
opinion. They complicated the issue greatly The
Jewish people, however, had such a preponderant
right to Palestine that they hardly could be denied
victory in the end.
They will continue under British mandate
but the affairs of local government will be entirely
in their hands. 1t is now their duty to accept the
long delayed reward in a spirit of tolerance
toward all the races who occupy Palestine, in a
spirit of charity and forgiveness Thus the racial
hatreds will be wiped out Thus Palestine viii,
become not only the center of traditions but the
living example of Jewish genius.

Frog Escapes Snake.

While strolling along a road in
Alexandria, Va. yesterday I came
to a ditch which crossed the road.
Out of idle curiosity left the road
and walked along the ditch. but had
not gone more than fifteen feet
when i spied a brown water snake
about two and half feet long
partly concealed under the leaves
of some water lilies. The snake
did not see me. so ] moved eau
tiously away from the ditch and
obtained a stick to route the rep
tile. but on my return the snake
-~'-' me and made a dash for safety
under a bridge.
Following with my eyes the
course the snake was taking / saw
a full-grown bulifrog sitting under
the bridge directly In the path of
the snake. The commotion made
by the snake In his haste to esrape
caused the frog to see him. and no
doubt conceiving the idea the snake
had designs on making q feast OF
him. did not waste time in making
up his mind what to do. but dis
appeared out at the other end of
the bridge, three jumps ahead of
the snake.-FRANK w. THOMP-

Europe has no alternative to going dry. Her

is more than two months now since we have
i had word from the Ant-Cigarette League of
Washington. We happened upon one of their

The Anti-Cisafette leaguers tell IN, in the
aforementioned commuuique, that this vile habit
has become more widespread in the Ssbbath
school atmosphere Of the United States since the
last disgustngly vulgar unpleasantness IN Europe.
This doubtless Is due to the policy OF degenerat-
ing young manhood followed by the Young Mems
Christian Association, which sold cigarettes to the
unfortunate boys when they were in no condition
to protect. their virtue Something must be done
about it. There are evil influences abroad in the

Members of the Anti-Cigarette League Of
Washington just may be stepped in the trou-

Europe totters the brink of war, while bootleg
