Sl7,0O0,00O SPENT
 IN JEWS' HOMELAND
Two Thirds of Enormous Fund
 Is Raised in America

That a sum exceeding $17.000, GOO has been expended for construction work in Palestine in the period from April 1921. to September 1926, by the principal funds associated in the United Palestine appeal has been made public by Judge William Lewis, national chairman of the ap- peal, in a statement issued by him this week from the headquarters, 114 Fifth avenue, New York. Judge Lewis statement is based on reports and figures just received by him from the Palestine Zionist execu. tive. The huge total of $17,0oO,o0C is divided as follows: Expended by the keren Hayesod, s12,o0o,0o0; by the Jewish national fund, s4,- 100000; by the Hadassah. s1,000.- 900. This money was for agricul- tural colonization education, inlnni- grafton, public works and health service.
 "The latest report speaks for the commenting position which Ameri- can Iewry occupies in the rebuild ing of the Jewish homeland" Judge Lewis declared in a statement. "At least two-thirds of the money raised for Palestine during the five year period. has been raised from among the Jews of America. and the past year the percentage of funds com ing from this country has increased considerably. due to the economic depression in Poland.
 Referring to the item dealing with agricultural colonization which received the largest allocation in the Palestine budget, Judge Lewis declared that a number of agricul- tural settlements have doubled during the past five years, number ing more than 100 today" The agricultural Jewish population has increased to 32,0o0 during this period. this number forming twenty per cent Of the entire Jewish popu- lation in Palestine.
 Another interesting figure, report ed Is the one for education. Out of the total of so.2e7.16o spent on Palestine schools s1sS6,SSo was spent for the Hebrew university and the Hebrew national library The volumes of the Hebrew library now numbering more than 130.0o0 which Is an increase of more than 400 per cent over the number pos sessed before the war.

UNDERGROUND FIRE '
 OUTDOES HOlH0USE
English Farmers Report Greater Success Over Coal Nine
 Flames

Redhill, Worcestershire, England. Jan. 24.-lF-An underground coal fire here enables gardeners to grow plants outdoors in the dead of winter and gardeners claim they get better results than If the plants were grown in a hothouse.
 Vegetables twice the size of others grown In the black country and po- tatoes which when dug are quite warm are told of by the gardeners as produced by reason of this under. ground furnace which has been burning in old worked-ou galleries of coal mines.
 A local gardener specializing In flowers says he has grown blooms in the open which were superior to any he could force In his hot-houses and which won prizes in flower shops.
 The fire presents little danger to local property since it Is confined to definite area. Its only visible signs are few wisps Of smoke curling out of holes in the ground.

LICENSES OF S,S2l
 DRIVERS TAKEN
.0i This Number, 1856 Were
 for Drunkenness

Hartford, Jan. 24.-The state motor vehicle department found it necessary in the past year to suspend 1856 operators for driving while un- der the influence of liquor. The num- Der Of suspensions on this account was greater by 152 than the 1925 suspensions for that cause and breaks all Connecticut records. The suspensions in 1924 for this offense totaled 1,oe2, in 1923. 773; in 1922, 394 and in 1921, 254.
 In the year just closed S,Se1 op- orators were taken off the road for varying periods because of different infractions of motor vehicle laws and regulations. This number was an increase of nearly 400 over the sus- pensions for 1925. but for the prin- cipal offehse. reckless driving, there were only 2,3S6 suspensions as against 3,oos for that reason in 1925.
 For operating without a license. 1,4so operators were put on the motor vehicle departments suspen- sion list in 1926. an increase of 253 for the year. There was an increase of about 200 suspensions for the offense of failing to report accidents, the total number of drivers losing their right to operate on that ac- count being 1928. That offense prov ed to be the most prolific cause Of suspended licenses
 Twenty-six operators were put on the suspension list for driving while under age. 329 for being involved in fatal accidents, 240 for evading responsibility. 4o4 for operating un- registered motor vehicles, 7s for failure to appear at hearings when so ordered, 245 for overlooking trucks, 43 for theft of motor vehi- cles, and 3o7 for failure to give proof of financial responsibility.
 Fifty operators lost their licenses because the department was unable to locate them at the address they had given and eight eight were or dered off the road because they were adjudged to be improper per sons to trust in charge of motor vehicle.

KING FERDINAND
 LIKELY. TO RETIRE
Paris Report Says Carol May
 Be Recalled

Paris, Jan. 24 W1The abdication of King Ferdinand of Rumania and the assumption of regal powers by hts errant son, Prince Carol, are possibilities looked for in the next few weeks by Rumanian circles in Paris.
 That the .dynastic crisis. which has paralyzed the political life of the country for year is on the eve of solution appears to be less and less in: doubt. For several months Ferdinand has shown will ingness to disregard the action of Carol in renouncing his rights as successor to- the throne. but he has been thwarted In efforts to call Carol home by certain influential advisers of the government. chiefly former Premier Bratiano. How re- liable reports reaching here are that the king. desirous. of proceed . ing to Paris to seek such treatment as he believes might bring him at least 2 semblance of health. has de- Cll6u LO QdS0 ulo OWn "dJ anu q dicate in favor of Carol.
 The interesting news developed after weekend conferences at Bu- charest between Premier Averescu and M. Bratiano. If the kings wishes are carried out, Rumanian circles predict the eclipse of M. Bratiano as power behind the throne-a power which he has yielded for long. Considerable loss of Influence for Queen Marie in the royal and political councils of the country Is also foreseen.
 Carols determination to eliminate NJ. Bratiano is we'll known. If and when he does become ruler 1t is declared. a powerful political group of younger clements under the ban ner Of the national peasants party will become the dominant factor Tn |. the country's affairs.
 As for the reports of recon ciliation between Carol and his royal wife, Princess Helen, who have been estranged for more than a year, nothing to Confirm them has come from the Rumanian capital yet they persist. The Berlin core spondent of the Echo de Paris. whc usually Is we'll informed on Ruman- ian affairs, says that Carol in the past two weeks has repeatedly 1n- formed his mother of his desire tc be reconciled with his wife and see his young son. Michael. This cor respondent understands that the Rumanian sovereigns decided that the couple would have to meet abroad.
 At the present time Princess Hel' en is in Italy. having gone there according to official announcement to settle Prince Michael for stay of several weeks at the resort oi Rapallo. The indications have beer that she will return immediately tc Eumania.

Cold winter days and snow bring thoughts of warmer climates, and many people are feeling the lure Of travel. With this idea in mind we have brought together a group Of books which it is hoped will be of interest to the actual tourist and also to those who must get their travel through reading by their own fire side. s-
 During the winter and early spring months, one of the most interesting countries in the world to visit Is Egypt, and the books which the li- brary has on that country are very alluring.
 One of the first to turn to is The Spell of Egypt" by Archie Bell. pop ular in its subject matter, but use- full to the person who wants general information regarding the every day life of the country. It Is profusely illustrated, and these pictures in color have rare charm,
 No trip to Egypt Is complete with out a journey, to Luxor. which can be accomplished by night on the train or by the more delightful river steamer which requires a longer time
 Luxor and Its Temples" by A. NJ. Blackman is a recent work of special interest, including much his- tory. making the personalities of the ancient kings and queens live again in its pages. The pencil drawings by Major Benton Fletcher are re- markedly successful in showing the architecture and spirit of the tenn ples.
 With the mention of Luxor ones mind instantly reverts to the famous tombs, and turns particularly to that of Tut -Ankh- Amen, who has lately come so much into prominence The Tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen," by Howard Carter and A. C. Mace gives a vivid description of It's dis covery and of the great treasures found within. Tho illustrations give a remarkably clear impression Of the beauty of workmanship of many of the articles.
 "A Century of Excavation in the Land of the Pharaohs,' by the au- thority James Baikie. carries us still further among the treasures of tombs and temples. It gives inter- esting information on the Pyramids and their explorers, and a very" en- tightening chapter on life, arts and crafts in the land of the Nile. Here again excellent illustrations greatly enhance the interest of the book and illumine our own mental pie lures.
