EASTER-TIDE AT JERUSALEM
Selected

T is Holy week, and from every di-
rection people are pouring into Jeru-
salem. From our car far out on the
Military highway we see long, black
line mile or more in length. They
are pilgrims, Mahomet our Arab drago-
man, informs us. Leaving their boat 1t
Jatfa they have tramped all the way to
the Holy City for the Easter celebration,
the mecca of the faithful.
Even the narrow streets of Haifa are
agog with Easter joy-makers, and though
scarcely six feet wide in some places, the
original pavement of rocks and stones,
mere alleys, they lead US past human
habitations where there is the sound of
happy voices humming Easter carols al
ways singing, "Christ Is Risen!" even
before the day itself. And everywhere
they are coloring eggs, arranging bou-
quets of flowers in the windows, and
hanging festoons of vines and wreaths of
scarlet anemones about the open door
ways. Margined on the left beyond the
gate, is the blue of the Mediterranean
where the fishermen are also chanting of
their Easter joys.
AT quaint picturesque Joppa on the sea
front we enter the gateway, passing
through narrow streets much like those
in Haifa between tall stone walls. up one
broad, low flight of paved stone steps
after another, passing native women and
children with their water jars who wish
us Easter joys that we reciprocate, until
at last we come to the house of Simon
the Tanner. Is there another like it in
the whole wide world? It is gray and
hoary with age, and in its side wall is
a primitive water wheel.
Samaria is not far distant, Mahomet
intimates, and we wonder if we are
dreaming when we actually see the
Woman of Samaria at the we'll, lust as
she is pictured in the Bible. Bethel, too
is but stones throw away and we spend
couple of hours there resting under the
fig trees watching the children plat the
wild geranium wreaths they will wear
round their heads and necks when they
go to church Easter morning
We spend that night in the home of
our Zionist host in Jerusalem, but early
On the morrow again fare forth to Jericho
and the Dead sea, crossing the towering
slopes of Olivet, and again passing
through peaceful little Bethany, where
pilgrims are already setting forth for the
city to sell their wreaths, eggs and sweet
cakes to worshipers at the Church of the
Holy Sepulcher
At Bethlehem we visit the Church of
the Nativity with its splendid columns
from the Temple of Solomon, where
Christ taught the Wise Men. 1t is under
military protection, yet filled and over
flowing with natives worshiping on or
near the spot marked by marble slab
and silver star, where once stood the
manger in which Jesus was born. At
Rachel's tomb we find military guardians
also, as there will be, of course, until the
question is settled as to Palestine's future.
We buy a wreath from a native child
and place it on the tomb, already heaped
with offerings.
First comes the Washing of the Feet, a
survival of a miracle play, which we

FRONTIER DAYS

II and one New Orleans there is also
but one Cheyenne. Other western
cities have annual celebrations, but there
are none that can compare with the can
nual Bust" at the capital city of Wyoming.
Cheyenne lives and looks forward to
these few days of merrymaking, ordinarily
it is regular graveyard but during the
festivities it is the scene of much colorfu1
action. Special trains run between the city
and those nearby, such as Omaha and Den
Yer. The last time that made Frontier
Days was in 1917, the year that an auto
mobile raced the special train from Den
yer.
Cheyenne is not a large city, even though
it is large for that state and section of the
country. 1t is nothing more than an over
grown town, with all the virtues and vices
of the western center of population. There
is but one good hotel, "The Plains"
During the days of the celebration the
city is riot of unrestricted bedlam.
Famous westerners are present, all of the
professionals who make the rounds are en-
tered upon the various events; worlds
records in bull-dogging and broncho-bust-
ing are broken. Fasteners are in the min
Gritty despite the influx of tourists and the
cognoscerte who may be4found there year
after year.
The West of today is little different
than the Middle-West or the East Old
timers mourn the old days when man
carried his law in his holsters, and when
rustlers received scant consideration when
apprehended. Men do not 60 about clad
in chaps and wearing ass with the usual
eight-inch barrels openly. Wide-brimmed
sombreros are necessary as protection
against the penetrating rays of the molten,
western sun. Boots provide better grip
upon stirrups than lowheeled shoes. Gaudy
silk neckerchiefs, worn about the neck, are
needed to protect the wearer from the dust
that arises from the dry ground under
many hoofs. Red neckerchiefs are most
popular.
But during Frontier Days all is changed.
Four-gallon hats of beaver, costing from
$50 to 5000 are upon every contest partici-
pant Silk shirts, of many colors, are in
evidence everywhere. Spurs jingle musi-
cally upon walks; chaps are worn. Cow
girls, with hair braided behind and
bright ribbon showing under the wide hat
brim, ride down the street in pairs or
small cavalcades. Some wear the divided
skirt; others the modern riding breeches,
no longer considered immodest
This is all a part of the advertising
No western writer, who knows his West

"EGYPT NOT MUCH" GEORGE WARD SAYS, GLAD TO GET BACK
EnqIand's Withdrawal Will
 Hurt-Prediction - Likes London Best

Egypt will be worth about fifteen cents when England gets away and out of there," said George 5, Ward who is just back from his trip around the world on the Mauretania.
 Egypt is interesting Tn a way, but the greater part of it is bunk and punk. It is still land of beggars. The Egyptians have a king and a parliament now and 1 understand that the English are about to turn them loose to their own devices. l don't look for them to do much stand ing alone.
 MT. Ward was asked how he en- joyed Greece and the many other foreign countries through which he passd. Tell you the truth said MT. Ward, "I enjoyed London more than all, because l could talk to folks who understood me and whom 1 could understand. This thing of trying to understand people who talk another tongue is pretty poor sport when you get actually in it's midst"
 MT. Ward was at his desk in the office of Ward, Sterne and company Tuesday and said he was glad to be back in the city of which he was sev- eral times alderman and twice mayor.

DR. GLENN TALKS IF
 EDUCATION NEEDS TO WOMEN VOTERS
Birmingham Ranks High In Enrolment Percentages
 He Declares

Educational needs in Birmingham m were explained by pr. C. B. Glenn, superintendent of schools, in an ad- dress before the Jefferson County League of Women Voters at the new Jehn Herbert Phillips High school Tuesday afternoon. pr. Glenn dis eussed the increased enrolment of pupils in the public schools in the city and declared that there were 50,000 children of school age here, with an enrolment of 40 900 in the city schools. This. he said, was & higher enrolment than that of any city in the United States of the same population as Birmingham.
 There are 5S schools in Birming- ham, Dr. Glenn explained. with a teaching force of 950 members. The opueration of these schools, not in- cluding upkeep of buildings. amounts to s1,3s7,000 annually, costing the city S35 year for each child.
 He then explained the organization of the city schools and declared that under the present system the chill dren of the city were deprived of a year of schooling 10 which they were entitled.
 pr. Glenn also told of the building of the new John Herbert Phillips High school, saying that an addi- tional s350,0o0 will be required to complete it, according to the initial plans of Dr. Phillips and the board of education. It has already cost s7oo,0o0. He then told of the great increase of pupils in the high schools eff Birmingham, and said that chill dren were not dropping out a much as they formerly did.
 Following Dr. Glenn's address. w V. M. Robertson, Jr, discussed the tuberculosis sanatorium campaign The campaign was indorsed by the league and a committee is to be ap- pointed to cooperate with it's off cials.
 Mrs. J. NJ. Hawkins, president of the Jefferson county league, pre- sided over the meeting. A tour of inspection was made.

field are of the most substantial ma ture. I come to Birmingham every year and keep in close touch with the city and it's upbuilding. l know the district and it is with knowledge of the district that l am especially impressed with the improvements made in the past year.
 MT. Carse said lie looked for oon- tlnuance of present good conditions for some time, but said the oontinu- ance depended on avoidance of run away prices. There is a limit he said, and if that limit is passed, why we will simply have to slow down.N However. there are no indt- cations of a slow down on the horizon"
 Mr Carse is here to attend the annual meeting of the Birmingham Realty company at noon Wednesday. It is understood that the annual re- port will be very satisfactory one.
