 Strong head winds, which appar- ently prevailed at all heights, still prevented the big silver ship from equalling the high speed at which it crossed the Pacific from Tokyo to Los Angeles, but the 40 to 50 miles an hour at which the sullen waste country of the Sierra Diable and Guadalupe mountains was travers- ed had been increased to approxi- mately 60 miles an hour over Ok lahoma and Kansas
 Heads For Cleveland
 The direct line which Dr. Hugo Erkener, commander of the craf.. adopted after reaching the Texas Panhandle late last night showed that he intended to waste no time in reaching Cleveland, where he promised to maneuver over the city as part of the national air eXposi- ton program before proceeding to I.akehurst, N.

 Dr. Eckener radioed officials of the air exposition yesterday that his ship would reach Cleveland about noon today. but adverse winds ana electrical storms. encountered early an extent that it appeared the ship would not be able to reach Ohio un- til late evening.

Day of Heavy Fighting

Cairo, Egypt Aug. 2S P-un censored telephonic advices to tha Jewish Telegraph agency at 1 a. m. today said fighting between Jews and Arabs continued in much of Palestine, with the smaller colonies bearing the brunt of Moslem at tacks.
 "A day of heavy fighting with many new casualties and one dead passed in Haifa, Northwestern Pal cstine," it was said. Tn the evening quiet prevailed"
 In the afternoon British marines fired on both Jews and Arabs in quelling a Moslem attack on the Jewish quarter. Two barracks were destroyed by flames, with no one to eXtinguish them.
 Marching on Jerusalem
 Jerusalem was described as in grave danger, with 2,000 armed men, including Druse tribesmen marching on the city. Three Jewish houses in the old quarter were set afire. The Jewish colony, Motva near Jerusalem, was in flames at the time fthe telephone call.
 A part of the colony Tel Jos, ,oh was burned down yesterday. Meier Shfeya, settlement maintained by the Junior Hadassah, American young women's Zionist organiza- ton, sent an urgent appeal to the American consul for help. A mili- tary detachment was dispathced there shortly afterwards.
 Isaac Ben Xvi, leader of the Jew ish defense corps. in a telephon1 message, said the corps was being disarmed and arrested. He added refugees arriving from Tel Aviv, all Jewish colony near Jaffa reported lack of bread and other food stuffs.
 Blames Government
 Ben Xvi expressed the emphatic opinion the Palestine government alone was responsible for the riots of the last five days "We are cer. Nain," he declared, that if the Palestine government had sent tc patrol the Arab demonstrations or Friday at least the same number Of police it sent it patrol the Jewish demonstration on Thursday order would have been maintained in the Holy City.
 Tt is the government of Pales. tine which alone is responsible fol the horrible events. The Palestine government repeated its orders not to shoot even when there were already more than 24 Jewish dead in Jerusalem alone. Ever later the Palestine government did not assist the Jewish self defense

Jerusalem, Aug. 2S CP-A Moslem uprising throughout Palestine, Syria and Transj ordania, with attendant horrors of fire and sword loomed today unless British power in the middle east could quickly crush the rising spirit of unrest among the fanatical tribcsmen.
 The situation today seemed to have passed far beyond the original dispute between Arabs and Jews over use of the Mailing Wall, and observers generally here looked to 1bn Saud, mighty king of the He'd jag, whose attitude could turn the scales one way or the other. It was considered certain that facts rapidly being assembled did not bear out the optimistic tone of official con- muniques.
 These fixed the dead and wound ed in the last five days fighting be- tween Jews and Moslem Arabs at 143 and 426, divided as follows: killed, 46 Moslem, 4 Christians, 93 Jews. Wounded, 11S Moslems. 39 Christians, 2G9 Jews. It was added an accurate check of casualties was impossible.

Seventeenth of March
Once "Noah's Ark Day"

Long before the Irish taught US
that March II was st. Patrick's
day, this date was celebrated in
England for very curious reason.
In the Middle ages it was regard
ed as the anniversary of the day
upon which Noah entered the ark
NOah'S Ark day was specially made
the occasion for the performance OF
the mystery play that dramatized
with considerable freedom the Bibli
cal record of the flood. In this
NOah's wife was always the princi.
pal comic character. being depicted
as the typical shrew.
The quarrels between Moab and
his helpmate created great amuse
ment for the spectators. When the
ark is ready the lady stOutly re-
fuses to 60 in unless she may take
some Of her friends along. The
patriarch, however, will not stand
much nonsense. and when the time
for embarkation comes he dis
patches his three sons to bring
their mother aboard. They find
her with her gossips in a tavern,
and after much rough by-play and
broad comedy they seize her and
drag her to the ark. Arrived there,
she breaks out as a worse terma-
CANT than ever; shrieking with
rage, and sets about beating her
husband, much to the diversion of
the spectators of merry England

Burglar Paid Dearly

Even the cleverest criminals are
apt to make bad slips. Sooner or
later, in spite of carefully thought
out plans, foxy covering up of
tracks, they make one little error
which costs them their liberty.
II remember" says an investiga-
tor, "a curious incident which
clearly shows how the fear of the
visible signature is ever present III
the thoughts of the criminal. A
burglar had entered a house and
carried out a robbery with great
skill. He had operated without
gloves, because safe-breaking with
gloves is a: nasty, difficult job. This
man knew all about police methods,
however, and when he had finished,
he carefully polished all those parts
Of the safe that had been touched.
He then poured water over the
fragments of the broken window
through which he had entered.
''Not satisfied with these precau-
lions, he lit a candle and inspect

Tracing Words' Origin

/. The words check, checkmate,
chess, cheque and chequer come to
us through the Arabian from the
Persian. The words avast, bow,
boom, cruise, cruiser, gyhe and keel
haul are reminders Of England's
maritime relations with the Dutch.
The word finance goes right back
to the Latin ''finis" (end). When
it first appeared in English it had
the sense of a ''fine" or forfeit, but
its modern significance was devel-
oped in Eighteenth century France
among the taxfarmers or "finan-
Gers" as they were called, to
whom the king delegated the duty Of
collecting his taxes.-Exchange.

Profit System Ensures j.
Consumer Fair Chance

If your goods are acceptable, or
your services useful, you will re-
ceive a profit. If, on the other
hand, your fellow creatures decide
(wisely or unwisely, it makes no
matter) that they do not want your
goods. Or that they will get on bet
ter without your services, then
you will make q loss. The profit
making system Is the only one I'M
der which the consumer can be
perfectly sure Of obtaining the ar
ticle he wants-any other scheme
can only mean, that he will have
forced upon him the article which
somebody else thinks he ought to
want. .sy,.,,,. -"
Working for a profit on an indf-
vidualistic system also ensures that
the people who receive the goods
are the same as those who pay for
them-a very important point.
Based upon the interests of the
consumer, it is the only system IN
der which the consumer can ever
stand chance. We can make no
money, we can do no good, unless
we can persuade others to accept
our services at the value that we
and they Jointly place upon them.

Game of Polo Brought
Eastward From Persia

Polo, the oldest of games played
with stick and ball, was known to
the ancient Persians 2.400 years
ago. From the dusty plains of Per-
STA the game spread eastward
through the Vale of Cashmere on
to the tableland of Tibet, where II
was christened polo from the
Tibetan pulu, ball. Southeastward
through Afghanistan, across the
high passes of the Himalayas down
to the sunny plains of India, it jour
neyed, where. throughout the Six
teenth century it was the favorite
sport of the people.
For 200 years after this. its rec
ords in India cease. but it again
became popular there about the
middle Of the Nineteenth century.
Polo was first played in England
In 1869 and a few years later 1t
was adopted by other European
countries, when many of its an
cient rules were altered and I'M
proved. Thus established In an
English-speaking country, the game
quickly crossed the Atlantic, where
under clearer skies 1t swiftly trav.
ersed the American continent in q
westward chase that did not end
with the shores of the land Of the
sunset, but, skipping the Pacific, es-
tablished itself in Samoa and other
far off western islands.

1890 Pavement Will Cost
State $24,237.O0 Per Mile
Department Let's Con-
tracts for 1873 Miles to Be
Built Next Year

Minnesota will pay an average of
500 less per mile for 20 foot con-
crete pavements in 1880 than in
1929, according to figures given out
by the State Highway department.
Bids were opened Oct. 20 on 1873
miles of pavement to be built next
year. Of this 1341 miles are to be
20 feet wide and the total of the
low bids was $2,215,703, or an av-
erage of $16,522 per mile. One 39
miles stretch of 81 foot pavement
will cost $93,8O7
The contractors figures include
all labor and materials except ce-
ment, which is furnished by the
state. The bids opened last week
on next years supply of cement
show that this item will cost an
average of $7,715 per mile for 20
foot pavement, making a total of
$24, 237 per mile for the completed
slab. The average cost per mile
of 20 foot slab built in 1929 was
$24,333.
Bids were also opened on 36.5
miles of grading, four bridges and
some special work. Bids on sever
al additional paving jobs will be
called for in a few weeks accord
ing to Commissioner c. M. Babcock,
while grading jobs will be let from
time to time as plans and surveys
are completed. The state expects
to do about the same amount of
grading in 1880 as in 1929 and con-
siderably more paving
Paving work will start as soon as
weather permits in the spring,
while some of the other work will
be started this fall. BY letting
paving contracts in the fall, it is
possible for the contractors to have
their equipment on the job and
thir crews ready to start work
shortly after the frost is out of the
ground in the spring. This will
make it possible to complete some
of the jobs so that they may be
opened to travel before the end of
the heavy traffic season. ...
