MAY
BE EXPLOITED
Agreement Between British Government
and Zionist Organization
Reported.

JERUSALEM, Jan. 5.-Great interest
has been aroused here by semi-Official
announcement that an agreement has
been reached between the British govern
ment and a group of men representing the
Zionist organization for the exploitation
of lands lying beyond the River Jordan
and the Dead Sea. 1t has always been
known that proper development would
reveal the presence of oils and other min
erals in great quantity in that section of
the country.
From reliable sources, it is understood,
that the agreement involves q tract of
land extending from the Syrian coast on
the north to the valley of AIojeb 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 preim-
mary work. Should oil or any other min
erals be found, an extension of time would
be given provided the company pays to
the British government IL 900 as a roy
atty fee. Besides. a straight tax of one
shilling is demande on each and every
ton of oil or other minerals taken from
the ground.
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 cleo
tricity from the waters of the River Jor-
dan with which to carry on the work
Railroad lines would also have to be con
Structed in all directions, in order to ia
cilitate transportation of the mineral
products found With oil. electricity and
railroads, Palestine would be bound to
receive a great impetus toward industrial

$4,000 FIRE IN BOX FACTORY
WOrlimen At Bristol Narrowly Escape
Burning Building

BRISTOL. Jan. 5.-Fire yesterday in
the plant of the Vermont Box Co did
damage estimated at $4,000, the loss
being partially covered by insurance. The
flames originated. it is believed, from a
hot box on a fan used in carrying fumes of
lacquer from a finishing room.
Norkmen had narrow escapes in getting
out of the burning building, a wooden
structure. recently built. as an addition
to the main plant. The main part of the
establishment was saved.

TO the piston pin bosses has been
very effective in securing pistons
which fit better after the engine Is
warmed up.
Another point which has been
learned from the aluminium piston,
and which has been successfully APP
piled to cast iron, is in the pronCr
draining OF the oil from the cylinder
walls, so that an over-supply OF lu.
bricant is not passed up beyond the
piston rings, even though the oil
supplied by the splash or pressure
system is in excess Of what is neces-
sary for fabrication. 1t has been
found that little difference in the
action of the oil reaching the cyiin-
der walls can be noted whether
high pressure, a low pressure or
combination pressure and splash ys'

words, there Is no necessity for Gif-

1t is interesting. however, with all
Of these matters in mind. to note
the tendency toward making the
niston a better guide, and at the
same time to improve It's sealing
function. The long-skirted pis-
ton designed to prevent .he oil
from working above the piston rings,
and at the same time to drain TO the
piston pin for fabrication seems 10
be considered good practice by the
engineers who are clinging to the
iron piston. From the standpoint
OF the aluminium piston. 1t may be
