After the supply Of water had been
assured through tapping many Of the
mountain springs, the next problem, COM

was done through two aqueducts, at two
levels, one higher than the other, the
lower one 20 make certain the supply OF
water in the event Of the destruction of
the upper aqucduct through accident or
by a besieging enemy. Thus the two
auueducts joined three separate pools
or reservoirs. TIE lowest Of the three
reservoirs was completely concealed so
that if the two higher pools were found
and the water drawn off, the city of Jeru-
salem would still get an abundant supply
Of water from the lowest pool. Il is
probably to this lowest reservoir that he
refers in the Song Of Solomon when h
compares il 70 the beautiful Shulamite in

II had been possible for King Solomon
20 perfect his great system of water
works, depending upon these pools,
through the cooperation of Hiram, king
of Tyre, who sent down expert engineers
and many workmen for the building Of
the temple and the palace. The cedar
wood, used 30 extensively in both these
structures, had TO be- cut and hauled from
the distant mountains Of Lebanon IN the
north, and the descendants Of the original
Inhabitants Of Canaan were used for do

Younger Israelites, who wished to hire
themselves 70 the king, did their share Of
the hard work, but the supervisors were
either Tyrian experts or some Of the lead

this way to the state.
IN his day Solomon had solved part
Of the labor problem by enslaying the
Canaanites. but the other problems Of
army and international relations had TO
be solved a. well. He made some Of the
princes Of Israel leaders of the army
which was developed by his father, David,
the real builder Of the empire, and he set
10 work at once to cement the various

COLLEGE CLUB MEETS

Russian girls in the colorful cos tunes of their native land gave a delightful program of music at the regular meeting of the New Britain College club held on Monday evening at the home of Miss Agnes Johnston of West Main street. The balalaka music in accompaniment to the sing ing lent an air of color to the eve- nings entertainment.
 In addition to this Dr. Kossuth Williamson of Wesleyan University gave a talk on Justice in Taxa tion." He accepts Adam Smiths doctrine that the subjects of state should contribute to it's support in proportion to their ability to pay.
 He contrasted the large class of citizens who either legally or illegal ly escape taxation with the class who bear that burden. To the former group belong the average citizens who fail to list their personal proper ty such as watches, musical instru- ments and furniture. the professional class, government employees includ- ing school teachers, holders Of tax exempt bonds, and shareholders in corporations who pay 12a per cent rather than a 25 per cent or 46 per cent tax such as is paid on incomes from unincorporated businesses; to the taxpaying group belong the peo- pie who honestly report for assess ment their personal property the owners or real estate and the busi- ness man who has not incorporated.
 Professor Williamson proposed that this unjust inequality of taxa ton be corrected by certain re- forms, such as abolishing the gener- al property tax, reducing tax rates to what the traffic would bear, and llevying a state income tax.
 Assisting Miss Johnston in enter taining her guests were Mrs, Donald Bartlett, Mrs. P. F. McDonough, Mrs. Stanley H. Holmes, Miss Agnes Finnegan, Miss Ilga Harvey and Mrs. R. H. Hubbard.

There were a number of well known dear ly loved Scottish songs sung. the dry humor which is typical of the race, old men nodding over their game of checkers fin the chimney corner, all helped to give the air of Saturday night in any Scotch cot tage about the time of 1790. The production was staged and coached under John Daniels, the well known Scotch tenor.
