Uncompleted Palace

The editice known as Dicks
castle, near NeIsOnville, n. Y, was
intended for a residence. The build
ing is a massive concrete structure
of Spanish architecture, containing
many spacious rooms. 1t was
about twO-thirds completed, but
from neglect and exposure for the
past 20 years the concrete has be-
gun TO deterlOrate and break down.
If completed, this building would
have been one of the largest and
most beautiful residences in Ameri-
ca, or at least along the Hudson.

w HEN a child is fretful and
irritable, seems distressed and un-
comfortable, can't play, can't sleep,
it is a pretty sure sign that some
thing is wrong. Right here is where
Castoria fits into a child's scheme
the very purpose for which it was
formulated years ago! A few drops
and the condition which caused the
trouble is righted; comfort quickly
brings restful sleep.
Nothing can take the place of
Castoria for children; it's perfectly
harmless, yet alaUays effective. For
the protection of your wee one

this old reliable preparation always
on hand. But don't keep it just for
emergencies; let it be an everyday
aid. Its gentle action will ease and

ZIONIST LEADER
LAUlS WORK

BALTIMORE, Jan. 16.-Zionism
Is building a land and rejuvenat-
ing a people. Miss Henrietta
Sold, Jewish leader and native
Of Baltimore, told more than 100
members of Hadassah yesterday.
Miss Sold, who has been active
in the Zionist movement for 35
years, headed the women'S ticket
in the elections in Palestine on
January for the Asefat Haniv-
charim palestine Jewish Assem-
bly,. She also conceived and
founded HadasSah, the Women's
Zionist Organization of America,
which now has 296 chapters.
Sees Answer to Problem
If there still is Jewish prob
lem, Miss Sold said, Zionism
is the answer to it. There must
be a Jewish center in order that
its influence may be radiated and
felt throughout the world
wherever there are Jews.
Factionalism within the ranks
Of the Zionists exists, Miss Sold
asserted, but most of the recent
critics are young and their trench
ant writings are from the head,
while the Jewish sentiment for a
Palestine settlement is from the
heart.
20 Years of Age
Miss Sold, small, fragile and
silver haired, recently celebrated
her SEVENTEEN birthday. For
IS years she has been in the Zion
ist movement, spending a great
deal of that time in Palestine,
where, as a member of the execu-
tive committee, she formerly was
