Miss Normand declared it all oc-
CURED so suddenly that she did not
know really how it happened. She
refused to discuss the affair to any
great length because Of her un-
nerved condition. She declared Miss
Purviance and Dynes were to be
married in two months.
In Another Tragedy.
Miss Normand became transformed
over night from a commedienne the
whole world knew to central fig
ure in a tragic intrigue that re.
suited in the unsolved murder Of
William Desmond Taylor.
The tragedy in which she was
mysteriously involved rocked the
cinema world and led to sweeping
reorganization of the private lives
Of some moving picture actors.

new COLONIES
ARE BEGUN IN
PALESTINE
Keren Hayesod Is Sending Fi-
nanciaI Aid to ~ Settle
ments Temporarily.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.--Seven new
agricultural colonies are being
J I'll shs,i IN the Jewish HonleIauL
in Palestine, bringing the number
up 10 over ninety, according to a
report received here today by the
Keren Hayesod, or Palestine
Foundation Fund, of which Samuel
Untermyer, noted attorney is
president. OF these forty-two are
being supported by the fund with
money largely contributed by the
Jews of America and will be a.
sisted until they are wholly self
supnorting.
Since the Keren Hayesod began
financing and developing the Home
land, 1t has spent over $s,OpO,O OV.
In carrying out its agricultural,
economic and cultural program this
year. 1t is hoped that nearly
81 ,000, 900 additional win he raised
by the Jews of the United States.
Some idea of the expenditure
necessary for maintenance ana de'
velopment may be had from the
fact that. $250,000 was mead ID TO
meet the October budget.
Over Normal Need.
The Keren Hayesod IL devoting
a considerable part Of its proceeds
to agricultural development and OF
the October budget, $4,000 was
for agricultural purposes. THIS
sum. however, is IN excess of tn
normal monthly need, as IN
October contracts for seed, fertil.
izers, live stock and building

tire year.
OF the seven colonies, four are
of the cooperative and three OF
the Individual type. The houses and
other buildings are now being con.
structed and as soon as they are
completed the settlements will be-
come operative. They are situated
in various parts of the country
and will add materially to the
strength of the Jewish economic
pos ton in Palestine. The i'm,
migrants are turning out to be
very good farmers, much superior
in fact, to native Arabe-as with
the help of the Agricultural Ex'
pertinent Station they successfully
study soil conditions. Moreover
they are equipped with modern
farming implements, whereas the
Arabs employ those used by their
ancestors. Not only do the Jews
raise enormous quaint ties Of garden
truck but oranges and almonds and
other products for export.
In discussing the report, Morria
Rothenberg, chairman Of the board
OF the Keren Hayesod, said that
during October 61S immigrants
entered the country Of whom many
were cared for in special camps
maintained by the Keren Hayeeod
in Jaffa and Haifa. He said that
the Labor Department, in order Ia
stimulate the labor situatiNn ".
tween now and spring, has granted
500 900 in loans for ubl G works
and that through the Hadassah
Medical Organization $26,OU0 WAS
devoted to sanitation and medical
work.
The Hebrew school system in
Palestine now comprises 1856 schools
and is educating over $4,000 chill
dren, largely the sons ana dadgh'
ters of Immigrants. The mainten'
ance cost for October was $22.500
or at a rate Of $4,000 q year.
