HOLY Land Season Is
Most Profitable
Since 1914
BY International News Service


JERUSALEM, Sept. 21.-!The
summer tourist season this year
in Palestine has been the most
successful since 1914. It is es-
timated by the tourist office Of
the Near East Relief that the
American arrivals in Jerusalem
averaged 1856 per day. More
than $500 American tourists
inspected the American orphan
age in Jerusalem, Nazareth and
other cities.
The average stay Of visitors
in the Holy Land was cply eight
DAYS. as compared with 80 days
in pre-war years. The average
amount spent by each tourist
was $134, and the total spent
during the season by visitors7of
all nationalities was more than
100000.
While the tourist season this
year was entirely successful,
and at times taxed the resources
of every first-class hotel in the
capital, it is not likely that
Jerusalem will ever again see
the like of pre-war seasons,
when thousands of pilgrims
from Russia, Armenia and
Greece came here every year.
The high cost of travel has shut
the doors of the Holy Land to
those who made up the vast
majority of pre-war visitors.

IF YOU had to make your own bread, you
L would select the ingredients that you
know are the purest. And you would use all
your skill and the utmost care in the mixing
and baking.
This point of view prevails in the making
of Rice's rich loaf. Every loaf of this bread,
every day, must be worthy of the tables for
which it is made
IIERE are the ingredients that make it
i i rich: Gold Medal Flour-m1IIed from
firm Northern wheat renowned the world
over; Domino sugar ultra-re6ned from
Southern cane-the standard of excellence;
Diamond Crystal alt-abso1utely pure;
Fleischmann's Yeast-fresh, living, care
fully cultivated, famous for it's health-giv-
ing properties.
Twice day. corps Of specially-trained
bakers mix and bake these fine ingredients
into beautiful, fne-grained, satisfying loaves.
Every process is scientifically controlled.
Even the finished loaves must pass tests for
flavor, richness, and uniformity.
In THE BEST SENSE, Rice's is bread for your own
home. Order this unusual loaf from your grocer
today. Whether you market early in the morning
or late in the afternoon, you get delicious, newly
baked bread.

 A HELP 10 MILLS
Girls Of Ireland Responsible for
 Artificial Silk Boom

London, Jan. 12. - The little shop girls of Ireland gre responsible for a boom in the artificial silk trade that is one of the bright spots in the business life of these isles.
 The manufacturers of new pro- cess of weaving artificial silk ma terials, an industry started long be- fore the war, are now banking fat ted dividends because the girls in the shops and offices, and even schools, are no longer content to wear the cotton stockings and cot ton blouses which they displayed before and throughout the war. That aptitude for style changing which in America could make and unmake flapper fashions overnight, moves slower in England, and a year or SO ago the English girls found that much of their social standing was based upon silk stock ings.
 The manufacturers of the arti- ficial silk then rcopcnod their mills, closed hy post WIT dormanCy, and have kept the factories working overtime producing stockings, blouses and other similar articles. The artificial silk trade has grown until now most of the long cstab- lished woolcn and cotton spinning firms are producing artificial silk of some sort. Machinery for making artificial silk garments and novelties is being invented and marketed daily.
 Since the war factories for pro- ducing the synthetic silks have been established at Bury. Nelson, Peterborough and GoIbourn".
 The industry has spread also 10 India. where artificial silk shaWis, and cloths are being produced with even a more luXuri- ous gloss and fcathery soffncss than real silk.

 Herr Flettner is retleent about his plans to utilize wind power on land, saying only that within a year he hopes to exhibit models which will enable irrigation plants, fac- tories and municipalities to lake power directly from the wind through the use of the discoveries he has worked out in his study of air currents and their effect upon revolving towers, Towers for use on land will be high, as the con- stant winds are far above the earth's surface. Herr Flettner is confident that eventually there will be a great saving of fuel through the use of air currents,
 The inventor declares also that small sailboats of all kinds, including pleasure craft, can be fitted with one rotating tower that will propel them successfully on rivers, bays and lakes.
