 The system of dividing the land in Palestine is not good, either. The people live in colonies and 20 out to their different pieces of land. To give some people land near the col onies would be unfair to the others. So each gets piece of land near at hand. another piece farther away and another piece still farther away. The division is equal enough but you waste a lot of time walking around to your pieces of land. It would be better If each family could live near its own farm.

possession of liquor a felony.

possession of liquor a felony.
 The appeal, Cuyillier said. would be based largely upon the fact that the 18th amendment declares file gal possession of liquor unless di- rectly or indirectly connected with sale, misdemeanor, while the Michigan law makes such an offenee felony.
 He also will contend that life i'm prisonment for possession of pint of gin is "cruel and unusual" and contrary to the provision of the federal constitution prohibiting ex- cessive punishment for law ivola tions.
 Cuvillier declared the Michigan law the most severe in the United States. The only approach to it, he said. was the law in Indiana barring use of liquor in medical cases.
