 The Palestine Weekly. a Zionist or gan, claims that according to Roman figures this country has supported a population of 100000, but when one considers that the area of Palestine is about equal to that of Vermont and that it has about an equal amount of arable land, one questions seriously whether, with the highest develop ment of her natural resources, 1t will be possible for Palestine ever to sup port greatly augmented population. Vermont, in 1920, counted 352,42S people within the state.

Clothes Made Winter With Half
 The Labor

It is possible to cut washday labor practically in hall, yet double satisfaction in the beautiful appearance of the clothes. by the use of the wonderful new discov- cry, NACo. A little in the tub, and per- haps also in the boiler, and no matter how soled or stained, your table linens and white linen and cotton garments turn out as white and immaculate as when new.
 Fruit stains, coffee stains, cocoa stains = precipitation tsains--even ink stains quickly dissolve and disappear without leaving trace. NACO also greatly assists the soap by softening the water and loosen- ing the dirt and grime, that even on collarbands and wrist -bands very little rub- ping is required. Thus not only Is the work considerably lessened, but the life of the garments is appreciaby heightened.

Jerusalem. March 16.-Palestine has a total population of 757,ls2. &C., cording to the fifures of the census of three months ago. This figure equals approximately the population of the city of Boston as given by the of- ficial count in 1920. Ten per cent of the people in Palestine are given as Christian; Il per cent as Jeys, and 79 per cent as Mohammedans. The fig ures for Christians and Jews are re- garded here as about correct, but there was such strong opposition to the census on the part of the Moham- redans that their number probably Is considerably underestimated.

REJECTS HATS AND
 GOWNS FROM FRANCE
Berlin Puts Taboo on Imports Since Occupation of the Ruhr

Berlin, March 16.-Fieda and Gretchen are to have no more Paris gowns. There are to be no more smart little hats brought to Germany from the fashionable millinery shops on the Place Vendome and the Rue de Ia PaiX.
 These articles are not permitted to cross the German boundary since the French invasion of the Ruhr, and the leaders of the German fashion indus try have instructed their buyers that French models are not to be bought either directly or indirectly.
 High prices in France had pre- vented German firms from buying many models. Consequently the im- portations of such finery from France had been inconsiderable as compared to pre-war times But Berlin mo- distes were slowly resuming their Paris trips and buying limited quan- titles of late creations, when the Ruhr trouble came along and brought the general boycott against articles made in France.
 Little Difference.
 | Baron Drecoll, managing director of one of the Berlin's greatest fashion shops, told the correspondent of The Associated Press that this latest pro- hibition will make little difference to Berlin designers, as they have not relied directly on Paris for their styles since the beginning of the war | and have, to a great extent. become l creators of their own models. Nf come from Paris. It is foolish to | deny that Paris leads in the creation of nodes" declared the Baron. But Germany has learned to develop Parisian suggestions and adapt them In many cases they are greatly modi- fled, as Partisan designs are often too extreme for our trade. The pro- hibition against the importation of French goods will affect modistes and miliners only in two lines, silk and flowers. It is difficult to replace certain French silks and flowers"
 Working Together. '.
 Vienna and Berlin have been working together in the development of modes since the beginning of the world war. Because of the low ex- CudHBc they Have DeeH SuCCeSSIuI III developing a considerable trade for | model gowns in the Scandinavian | countries, the Balkans and Central | Europe. American and French | fashion magazines have been the | source of many ideas for the German and Austrian fashion creators. They also send their representatives to the great watering places on the Riviera and have little difficulty in keeping up with the latest French ideas.
 In Berlin virtually all French and Belgian nationals occupying apart ments or rooms are being dispos- sessed. They were barred in Janu- ary from all hotels There are about 5000 French and 1000 Belgians resi- dent in the city.
 In the stores merchants and clerks have no time for Frenchmen and will not knowingly serve them. Women clerks in shops are even more bitter against the French than men, and take great pains to make sure their customers are not their most hated enemies.
 Frenchmen are brusquely ordered out, of business houses as soon as , their nationality becomes known.

AROUND WORLD
 IN NUTSHELL"

SAN PEDRO, Cal. April 24.- Around the world in a nutshell is the adventurous aim of William Roland, seaman of long experience in many quarters of the globe, who for three years has been building the curious craft in which he plans to conduct his circumnavigating. It is finished now, the "nutshell' of Hollands building and he has christ ened it the Roland Neptune" and put it through it's paces for a trial voyage.
 The craft is twenty-two feet long, seven feet wide and seven feet deep, and resembles a sirbmarine It has hatch in the bottom and other oddities, but carries no keel, being kept upright by a one-inch layer of scrap iron below sdecks" Built for a one-man crew, the Roland Neptune" contains a bunk, a galley, provision chests and cargo hold for trophies of the voyage, of which the navigator expects to accumulate many. Material for the sloop- rigged little vessel was picked up ilhere and there along the water front, wherever odds and ends were to be had.

TREATY SITE

LOS ANGELES, April 24.-His- torical societies seeking to erect a monument on the spot where the treaty was signed which gave Cali fornia to the United States would have a hard time finding the spot 1t was brought out at a recent meeting of the City Council, when a request to purchase land in Ca huenga Pass, just oustide of Holly wood, came up for debate.
 The Treaty of Chauenga nego- tiated in 1845 between Col John c. Fremont, commander of the Ameri- can forces in California, and Gov ernor Andreas Pico. commander in chief of the California armies, is said to have signed in a ranch house somewhere on the Chaugena plain but the ranch house has vanished and no definite description of the site on which it stood appears to have been handed down.
 That the treaty was signed, and 500.000 square miles of territory is now California, Nevada, Utah, Colo thereby ceded to the United States, is fact on which chroniclers arc agreed.
 But as for the exact spot on which Colonel Fremont and Cover nor Pico met to attest the docu- ment students of such matters shrug' their shoulders and say:
