WILL DEVELOP ]. ARID TERRITORY
 IN PALESTINE

Jerusalem. Jan. 9.-Great inter- est has been aroused here by a semi official announcement and group of men representing the Zionist organi- lying beyond the River Jordan and the Dead Sea. It has always been known that proper development would reveal the presence of oils and other minerals in great quantity in that section of the country.
 From reliable sources, it is under stood that the agreement involves a tract of land extending from the Sy- of Mojeb on the south and from the town of Eltuba on the east to the River Jordan and the Dead Sea on the west.
 The company is given a period of five years in which to carry on the preliminary work. Should oil or any other minerals be, found. an eXten- son of time would be given provided the company pays to the British gov- arnment f1000 as a royalty fee. Be- des, a straight tax of one shilling is demanded on each and every ton of ril or other minerals taken from the F-ourd.
 What such a venture will mean to The life of Palestine is not hard to guess. Closely connected with the search for oil would be the need for generating electricity from the waters of the River Jordan with which to carry on the work Railroad lines would also have to be constructed in sll directions, in order to facilitate transportation of the mineral pro- iucts found. With oil electricity and railroads. Palestine would be bound to receive a great impetus toward Industrial progress.

WAY DOWN EAST
 IS 4 REMARKABLE DRAMA OF SCREEN

Way Down East which opened at Polls last night, is a screen drama of the first order. more moving, meSe dramatic and more fearful than nj ever has been presented upon tsS speaking stage.
 The forces of nature are called into aid the picture as they never have been and never can bee allied to a1o the spoken drama When the heroine ia cast out into the night and the storm, the awful elements are given more sennblance or reality than na- ture herself shows. The storm Is Iected storm. The elements are pre- sented at their worst; in aspects of terrible beauty.
 The heroine comes through the storm to an ice bound river. She crosses upon the ice, and it breaks 1lp. An ice jam bursts. This nov ing weight of millions of tons is hurled over mighty fails with v1v- idness that could not be equalied II the drama were presented actually. contemplated mood. The beholder would be actually possessed by ter TOT, and he would not observe the process of the phenomena as he can 5n the picture.
 Nothing on the stage of which this critic has any recollection presents Such an appalling portrayal of nature in mood of anger as this picture does.
 'fWay Down East" is real drama for another and a superior reason. It truly shows the human heart in cer- tain phases. Note the real pathos in the manner and countenance of the heroine. Note the women who DOT tray malice and scandal. Observe the operation of their faces in speech, and you will see two evil qualities of the human heart in the aspect which they should have to every healthy mind.
 $ And the ethical quality of the pie ture is of the highest.
 Seldom has the awful offense that man sometimes commits against in- nocent woman'hood been more ade- quately presented in a way to make 1t more completely despicajble. See this picture. It is worth the money and the time.

CURRENCY COMPTROLLER SCORES
 BANKS EXPANDING CREDITS

restricted the rediscount privilege of banks, the country would not have witnessed 34 bank failures last year. While the Comptroller finds the bank ing situation sound, and the banks showing the best records in the nations history he strongly recom- mends additional safeguards as a means of reaching the so-cal1ed non- conservative banking element.
 Rediscounting of paper banks. when properly limited and restricted constitutes a practical means of dis tributing credit, Comptroller Cris- singer said. It also make possible he said, the extension of credits to less fortunate communities especially in times of heavy seasonal demands.
