Loyalty Of Women

The loyalty and love of the
women of the South during the
American Civil War is admirab-
ly depicted in a new striking
Paramount perturbation of
William Gillette's play, 'Held
by the Enemy" which will be
shown at the Laclede theatre
Saturday night.
The locale of the story is a
Southern town newly captured
by Northern troops. A young
widow, who believes that her
husband has been slain in battle,
falls in love with a young North
ern Colonel, who protects her
from the looters. She is about
to accept his proposal of marri-
age, when her husband, appears
on spy duty. He is arrested by
the Colonel, and throughout the
remainder of the story, the duti-
full little wife makes many sacri-
fees in her attempts to save her
husband from death. The eul-
minating situation is one Of the
most dramatic ever presented on
the silversheet.

prise, at cost of $35O.OOO, imported its
machinery. The factory occupies 55 du-
mans of land and will turn out 10000, 900
bricks and 100000 tiles a year--or double
the quantities IL necessary. The factory is
significant of the new energy of the trans.
formed Palestine.
Originally houses were built of stone,
which was freely found in the Judean hills.
tendency to absorb dampness-made it not
feasible to erect large buildings or any
sound structures Of it. Directly after the
war artificial bricks were experimental
with, but it was found that these bricks
had an attraction and a capacity for mois-
ture and therefore the tendency to de-
teriorate. The silicate process was then
effected-in which the brick is put through
a process of baking which renders it
waterproof-and the new material is found
quite efficient 1t is cheap, and seven or
eight story structures have already been
built with these slicate bricks.
Another important industry which has
chosen Tel Aviv for it's background is the
textile industry. wealthy Lodz manu-
facturer has brought over his machinery.
The unfavorable exchange rates converted
his paper millions into few thousands,
but he found new capital in Tel Aviv, and
the wool of Beersheba will no longer go
begging nor the best be exported. Carpet
factories in Jaffa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
will hereafter be supplied by the textile
industry of Tel Aviv, and Palestine wool
only will be used.
Carpets are always suggestive of the
Orient, where walls as well as floors are
covered with them and where every devout
Moslem has his praying mat. Primitive
weaving has long gone on, but the Pro-
Jerusalem Society has opened workshops
for giving apprentices a more technical
knowledge of the carpet industry. On the
outskirts of Jerusalem a company has es-
tablished a large carpet factory, which has
met with success.
The influx of Europeans has created a
demand for all kinds of furniture which Is
far too expensive an article to import. But
though every carpenter Is busy the small
man cannot meet modern requirements,
Both at Haifa and Jerusalem cooperative
carpentry companies have been formed; in
one case European manager trains the
local workers. A bigger enterprise has
been started by Americans with up to date
machinery and it is engaged on standard
school and office furniture for the Govern
ment which takes every opportunity of
patronizng local industry. Quite num-

is juncus, so we have the nautical term
Junk" for a ropes end, and the sailors
carry the word a step further, and call
their meat Junk" The words starboard
and larboard (the latter known as port to-
day. have developed in an interesting
manner. Starboard has nothing whatever
to do with stars, but really is steor board,
Anglo-Saxon for steer side, because when
the old galleys were used they were steered
by an oar fixed to the right hand side OF
the stern, and the inboard portion was
held by the helmsman In his right hand.
Larboard is probably a corruption Of
lower board or side, as it originally was
considered inferior to the starboard.
Jury mast" which sounds as If It had
something to do with law court jury, is
quite innocent, although both words come
from the same jour, the French for day"
Jury mast thus means a mast that is put
up temporarily-for a day-just as jury
in the legal term implies a tribunal sum
moned for a short period only.
The New York herald., 1922-02-26

T>HE origin of many nautical terms
undoubtedly will surprise many of
us. Take the word Admiral. How
many people think of It, except as a thor
oughly English word yet it's origin is
Entir et Bdgh, Arabic for Lord of the
Sea- Captain comes direct from the Latin
cdput, a head; but the word mate owes
nothing to any dead language, being al
most identical with the Icelandic matt,
which means a companion or equal.
Originally coxswain was the man who
pulled the after oar of the captains boat
then known as a cock boat. Cock boat"
the coracle is small round boat used for
fishing. So coxswain comes to us from the
Welsh. Commodore is the Italian Com.
menddtore, or commander. and naval cadet
was originally the French cdpdet which,
going a step further back, has the same
origin as the word captain.
We frequently hear of "Davy Jones"
There never was such a person; but speak
of Duffy Jonahs locker" and you have
the original term. Duffy" is the West
Indian negro term for spirit or ghost
while Jonah" refers to the prophet of that
name Dog watch" comes from Dodge
watch. This Dodge" is to enable the men

Ages Old Jafa Compared
With Baby City, Tel Aviv

A most interesting community is the
town of Tel Aviv, which has been incor-
porated as a suburb of the ancient seaport
city of Jaffa. Tel Aviv is only twelve
years old; Jaffa is as old as the Ph9nician
sailors. The area placed under the bor-
ough control in Tel Aviv Is greater than
the area of Jaffa, and the population of
this unbelievably new town, set as it is
among towns older than the memory of
literature, is practically as great as the
population of Jaffa.
Moreover, Tel Aviv is the most modern
town in Asia Minor. It's streets and houses
are illuminated by electric lights and in
clude all modern conveniences. Last year
Tel Aviv was still purely residential-a de-
lightful garden suburb To-day the visitor
might readily imagine himself in a busy
Western industrial town. Tel Aviv is what
we know as boom town" But it is a
glorifed one 1t retains the aspect of
lovely garden to a great degree while it
increases its strength in industrial ac-
tivity. 1t Is far more modern than any of
the Western towns that grow up overnight
Out in the American oil fields, where new
towns come simultaneously with and like
gushers of oil, there is none which could
arrogate itself so high as to compare
itself with Tel Aviv.
OF Tel Aviv's new industrial projects

is the silicate brick factory. This enter

and report on ways of assisting the village
crafts, such as pottery, weaving, basketry,
dyeing and tanning.
The Department of Commerce and In
dustry is having a great deal to do with
the increasing prosperity and is organiz-
ing local chambers of commerce through
out Palestine.
1t has always been an agricultural coun-
try, but least of all the new developments
have its agricultural potentialities been
tapped. Throughout the land now there
may be seen Arab farmers plowing with
the ancient primitive forked tree contrap-
tions, an ass and two men leading the plow
through the glebe and another man guild
ing the furrow from the plow handles.
Seeking to Restore
Agricultural Prestige
In ancient times Palestine held much
larger population because the people culti-
waited it's numerous fertile hills in terrace
fashion, and traces of these steplike
banks, which held the moisture of infre-
quent rains and enlarged the area Of cul-
tivation, are still to be found. At Dulb,
outside the walls of Jerusalem, an expert
ment recently made to renew these ter
races proved successful.
In the historic vale of Jezreel, associated
with Deborah's victory and with Gideon
and his 300 lappers OF water, several work
mems agricultural groups are busy plow-
ing building barracks and cutting road
to the Haifa.Semakh railway line. The
progress is rapid, due to the use Of the
latest farming machinery which has been
sent by workers in the United States to
their fellows on the farms of Palestine.
Six tractors, two threshing machines, one
petrol road roller, one stone crushing ma
chine and a large number of modern plows
represent together such astonishing in
genuity as Palestine had not dreamed of.
The greatest surprise to the gay immi-
grants who went back from the lively
places to Palestine thinking they were
sacrificing themselves is in the social life
they have found. 1t is by no means as
deficient as they expected it to be in dere-
lct Palestine. Electric lights have done
great things. There are cinema theaters.
And there are cafes as gay as any In the
gayest of the lesser cities of America.
The New York herald., 1922-02-26

ber of the clients of these factories are
newly engaged couples, who order their
complete home requirements and for whom
the designs in foreign catalogues are often
reproduced.
Jaffa is now the principal Palestine port,
but Haifa is it's keen rival. Jaffa's adj
vantage is given it in the handling of
the great orange trade of Judea. At Haifa
the new enterprise is the big oil factory
now being erected. olives are plentiful in
all Mediterranean countries, and long
list of byproducts is being planned by the
company, which has opened a factory at
Alexandria in Egypt. Another project
afoot in Haifa is for a steam -four mill,
with a capital OF S450,000, to cater to grain
growing Galilee. One large mill for the
production of coarse grain flour has been
started at Hebron.

Bride of To-day Dresses
As Did Sister 500 Years Ago

But now the bride of Mount Lebanon
is as her sister of the golden band was
five hundred years ago. Atop her metal
spangled turban is high peak, which
looks a bit like a beautifully embellished
fire hose nozzle. From this attenuated
bridal crown there drops white canopy,
which forms a background for the dark
wedding gown-made of the finest obtain
able material and sprinkled with figures
and gilt spangles. But to Palestine II is
as modern as II is ancient. No doubt the
culture of commerce and industry" will
serve to modernize the woman of Mount
Lebanon somewhat according to our stand

"There is plenty of silver lining to the
clouds hanging over Palestine" is the mes
sage to America of a Chicago man who not
so long ago left the prosperity he had
found here and settled for the remainder
of his days in Palestine, his ancestral
home. His return was an inspiration of
sentiment and from a business point Of
view most unwise according to his friends.
He had made modest fortune in Illinois.
He was one of those who felt il point of
duty to sacrifice something to an idea.
To-day he is the leading figure in a
cigarette manufacturing enterprise in
Jerusalem, which not only has a profitable
domestic trade but which is preparing to
branch out and sell Palestine cigarettes
throughout the world. He is quite enthu-
