The Jewish National Fund Is the
chief source that provides funds for
purchasing land. The prime principle
OF the fund is that title to the prop
erty remains in the hands OF the jew
ish people. One of the works OF great
Importance was the training by the
fund of some hundreds OF young
workers on five National Fund schools.
When these workers were graduated
from their training they purchased
Jewish acreage and leased farms on
National Fund land. They brought
new life into the colonization move
ment. They We're the pioneers Halu-
zimy, the defenders Of Jewish property.
Purchases of Land.
The area of rural property acquired
by the National Fund up to the end
of 1924 amounts to about $4,000 acres.
Thirty settlements have been estab-
lished on this land in Judea. In
Samaria, the Valley of Jezreel and in
Galilee.
Since 1920 the Jewish National
Fund has confined itself to its original
project Of land purchased. and i'll adj
dition it carries out all the first i'm
provcments on the soil.
The fund also functions for the Zion
list movement in carrying out its urban
land policy. In this connection the
first object was to secure public build
ings, such as the BeZalel School OF
Arts and Crafts, the Tel AViv Gym
rasium and the Haifa Technical
School. 1t also participated in the ac-
QUESTION Of the site Of the Hebrew
University.
Since the fund retains permanent
ownership OF all its property in the
name of the Jewish people, that prop
erty can never be disposed OF by those
who work to improve It. Thus there
is no speculation or quick turnovers
at exorbtant figures. Persons Of linn
tied means are able to settle on the
land of the Jewish National Fund and
build houses on easy terms, but the
price of other land is kept within
limits.
The total amount collected during
eight months prior to June, 1925, IS
Sl7,447.67, against $12o.144.4S for the
corresponding eight months in 1874.
The increase amounts to 55.303.19, or
about ass per cent Of the total col
lected in the eight months OF the year
previous This is the largest increase
on record. This money IS to be used
for further development.

Of punishment are quite common in
modern speech. We are all familiar
with the expression the pillory Of
shame"
The reference is to a method of
punishment much in vogue with the
early English colonists. Its history can
be traced back as far as the twelfth
century when it was a familiar ad-
Junct of the public square and the
market place in England and on the
continent. 1t was with the colonists
from these parts that ii found it's way

fathers, who looked upon punishment
as the only deterrent to crime, that IL
was given its familiar place in the
history Of New England.

CHAPTER TX.
Night Before Starting.

Fay was alone In her room. 1t was
the night before she was to leave for
Shadow Valley, and everything was
ready, at least nearly everything, for
the two upper trays Of the trunk were
not vet in place. These trays held
her dresses. and from time to time her
eyes We're drawn to the riot of color.
She had purposely not set the trays in
place, so loath was she to hide the
loneliness that was hers. She loved
gazing at her new possessions, and the
occasional glimpse of herself In the
mirror Of her dressing table was reas.
surfing.
She wore a delectable neglige, one
OF the last things she had purchased.
1t was Of rose -colored chenille lined
with georgette crepe. About the wide
sleeves and the neck were bands of
ostrich trimming. The sides were
draped cleverly, enhancing Fay's reedi-
ness, and the color brought out the
amber tints in her eyes and hair.
All evening she had been busy.
That afternoon she had gone to q
fashionable beauty parlor for a bob,
and the attendant had persuaded her
to have her hair cut shorter than
usual.
The result was charming. The shin
gled line in the back showed the love-
ly shape of F'ays head. 1t made her
throat look like a flower stem, and
withal gave her an air OF sophistica-
ton. With each step that she took
she seemed TO emerge from her old
shell and take on a more definite per-
sonality. The last step had been the
new bob and it made such a change
In her appearance that the family had
all exclaimed at dinner.
She hadn't had time to get q mani
cure, and so she had spent a part of
the evening fussing with her nails.
She rather liked doing them. 1t was
fun pushing down the skin around
each nail with a pointed orangewood
stick. 1t was fun to see the white
half moon emerge at the base of each
nail, and most Of all was it fun to
apply the polish with a tiny camel's
hair brush, and when it dried to see
her nails rosy and glistening and
beautifully groomed.
And now at last she was finished
There wasn't another thing to do. On
her dressing table was her smart
leather pocketbook, containing her
tickets, her money and all the other
paraphernalia that girls always carry
with them. In the closet hung her
smart travelling dress, and over it on
shelf was her hat. small and very

smart hat pierced with a tiny arrow
of marcasite.
On chair by the window her lin
gerie was laid out. There wasn't an
other thing to do but go to bed, and
then almost before she knew it, morn
ing would be here. But that was the
trouble. The very thought of bed with
this terrific excitement making of her
brain a thing of fire was impossible.
Besides, If she went to bed, she would
never be able to sleep. She was quite
sure of that
1t occurred to her to smoke ciga-
rette. Fay did not often smoke, and
never before the family. But, like
most girls. she smoked on occasional
parties, although she was not very
fond Of tobacco because 1t made her
mouth uncomfortably dry.
Tonight, however, it was restful to
take a cigarette and puff it leisurely.
Somehow it went with the role she
was playing. and half dreamily she
practiced ways Of holding it grace.
fully, Of waiting the smoke away with
a wave of her arm.
She was pursuing up her mouth in
an effort to blow rings, when there
came knock at the door. For mo-
ment she was startled. The old Fay
would have Tipped the cigarette out
OF the window, and then would have
gone to the door with d guilty look on
her face. The new Fay put the
cigarette into tray, and then crossed
the room quite deliberately and with
out feeling in the least guilty
AS she unlocked the door and threw
1t open. Mrs. Carson, wrapped in a
japanese kimono, entered the room.
She wore slightly martyred express
sion, and her nostrils quivered deli
cately as she caught the unmistaka BILE
odor OF tobacco.

" HOUSANDS of dollars are be-
ing collected in the United
States. the main source Of
i contributions of the entire
Zionist movement. Just how
this money is being spent in Palestine
presents an interesting story of
new country and how the revenue is
apportioned.
The organization that collects this
money IS known as the keren Haye-
sod palestine Foundation FUND.-,
and is the chief financial agency of
the Zionist organization. The raising
OF the keren Hayesod moneys is a
stirring topic within itself. 1t is a
world wide movement that reaches
into every community where there are
Jews. And those who are inter
ested in the Jewish progress in Pales-
tine naturally wish to know about the
money being spent there.
The budget that has been sub
scribed for the keren Hayesod for
the present year (56S5 Hebrew year,
is S2,232 600. This does not include
the money investment in the pur-
chase of land, which is under the
auspices of the Jewish National Fund.
the actual management of which is in
the hands of the Jewish colonies.
The Keren Hayesod spends it's
money mainly for social, economic
and public works, which in many To-
calitieS are assumed by the state, but
owing to the condition of the Pales-
tine eXchequer this work must be IA
cilttated by Il private organization.
Although the whole OF the population
benefits from it, the chief burden Is
borne by this organization.
Secure Under British.
The big thing. however, is the
fact that the British government,
which has the mandate, gives to the
Palestine government the maximum
of security. The Palestine govern
ment does not incur any expenses cal
culated to bring about a direct in
crease of the Jewish population
through immigration, and the par
ticular job has been left to Jewish
conference.-the primary function
of the Zionist organization.
This particular work of immigra-
ton beginning in the various coun-
tries presents big problem in itself
and a most absorbing one, since in
most countries the prospective immi-
grant to Palestine goes through a Sc
lective process. He must learn the
old Hebrew language which is not
the preSent-day Yiddish as II Is
spoken. He must in many instances
undergo a course of training in agri-
culture, which isNto be his first means
of support. Various training organi-

S45 900 has been allocated for the
purpose Of aiding individuals in small
industrial enterprises. The need of
each economic class is carefully
studied and considered in the use OF
this fund.
The Keren Hayesod has also deemed
it advisable to invest some money in
the city banks, and. therefore, made
an initial investment of 100000 in
the General Mortgage Bank OF Pales-
tine. This provides money for build
ing Of houses and has aided in the
construction of more than 300. To
enable 1t to carry on it's activities a

TIE THRONE. OF 1Ae INCA

I'm the words of the Inca Car

power of the imagination to conceive
how so many and so great stones
could be so accurately fitted together
as scarcely to admit the insertion of
the point of knife between them
Sacsahuaman is, indeed, one of the
Wonders OF the world. ,"
When and by whom was this an
cient wonder wrought? Against what
enemy was such a cyclopean strong
hold erected?
How many thousands of hands and
hundreds of years were required in
it's construction? BY what unknown
power were these enormous stones
brought and placed in position?
These and a thousand other ques-
tions can be asked-but not answered.
Behind me and near the "Trono"
is the sliding rock, or 'Rodadero"-
a slippery slide of fifty feet or more
cut in the living rock where the an
cient Incas used to skid on their royal
holidays.
Nearby are the indications of sew
eral tunnels said to have connected
the fortress with the Temple of the
Sun and other points in the city be-
low. Several such tunnels have been
opened up for considerable distance
at various times under buildings in
the city, and many are the rumors
of hidden treasure.
When the Spanish came the Incas
bid as much as possible of their gol-
den ornaments and unquestionably
carried them down into their under
ground passages.
A number of years ago a party of
six went underground to search for
this hidden wealth. All perished but
one who appeared from the dark laby-
rinth many days afterward in a fear
fully emanciated condition and almost
dead, but proudly bearing an ear of
corn nodded of pure gold.
