Arab and Jew.

out on the fringes of the Near East
are two peoples whose interests and
traditions have now and then clashed
with sanguinary results-the races
which since the. Middle Ages have
called Palestine their own. Arab and
Jew, living side by side under the
anomalous conditions created by Great
Britain when it accepted the League
of Nations mandate over the Holy
Land, have not found it possible always
to dwell in brotherly love. Whether
the Wailing Wall, recently the subject
of adjudication by British commission
OF inquiry, will never again be the OBJ
ject of strife is question only time
and experience can answer.
AS far as the Jews of Palestine are
concerned, there is evidently to be no
lack of effort to bring about harmony
with their Arab neighbors. Vastly out
numbering the zionists, and with his
torical claim to tenure Of the land,
which Is inbedded in the centuries,
the Arabs do not look with composure,
let alone enthusiasm, upon the incur
sion of the people cone among them

That the Jews have made good citizens,
upl!fted the cultural atmosphere of
the country and bestowed substantial
economic benefits upon all the people,

Procrastination.

Washington motorists, like those in
other communities, are sometimes in
clined to procrastination. They will
put of supplying themselves with anti
freeze mixtures in the Winter, getting
the "old bus" repaired, buying their tags,
and all manner Of duties involved in
car ownership, until the very last min
ute, and even then there are some who
procrastinate beyond this point, and
generally find themselves tout Of luck. J"
1t may or may not be known to the
majority of the motorists that the Dis
trict now has a model title law, and
that every owner of an automobile must
secure certificate Of ownership. Since
the law went into effect little interest
has been shown In 1t, and the traffic
director now estimates that II all wash
ington motorists are to be permitted to
buy new tags on January the certificates
of title will have to be issued from his
Office at the rate of more than one
thousand day. So it behooves wash
ington drivers to sit up and take notice.
No titles, no tags on January /. So 1t Is
well TO- avoid procrastination in this
matter.

Taking sane cognizance of Arab sus-
capabilities, the Zionists seem deter
mined to consider them and govern
themselves accordingly. That is the
between-the-linss sentiment of the reso-
luton unanimously adopted at the re-
cent meeting of the council OF the
Jewish Agency for Palestine at Basel.
It went on record unanimously as hav-
irg "a sincere desire for the creation
of a durable accord between Jews and
Arabs on the basis of mutual conf
dence and understanding" The reso-
luton sets forth that Jews and Arabs
h. re a common interest in the peace
ful development of Palestine" There
is an affirmation by the Jewish leaders
that they will spare no effort to estab-
lish state of harmonious relations
through acceptance by both parties OF
the principle that neither is to dcmi-
nate or be dominated.
Along such lines lies the path OF
peace and amity In the Holy Land. The
outside world hopes it may be trodden
to the mutual good Of the ancient ma
tions which inhabit Palsstine's hallowed
soil

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

There are such people, and they are
very fortunate.
The belief that fieas will not desert
their animal hosts is based on the OBJ
servations of such immune persons.
Those whom fleas will bite know better!
The 'dog and cat" flea is a recog-
nized variety, not to be confused with
the so-called human flea, or European
| flea.
The "cat and dog" flea is the
common flea of this country. While
| it confines most of its activities to
these creatures, at times it jumps TO
their masters, and often infests a
home
The use of flea powders is to be
undertaken with caution, and sprays
should never be used upon cats or dogs.
Proper bathing, with the use of the
flea comb, neat device, is to be relied
on.
Freedom from insects is the next
important step in dog health for the
Summer.
Although it is mostly taken care of
in Kidding the animal Of fleaS, we give
it a separate classification, in order TO
point out its supreme Importance.
There are other insects. OF course,
such as ticks, and the dog permitted
to run should be examined for these
| from time to time.
Fleas, however, will remain the main
points Of attack.
There is NJ telling what mischief
f1eaS carry around with them, a
menace to both animal and human
health. August is perhaps the worst
month of all for these pests.
Every effort should be made during
the so-called "dog days" to rid pet
animals of dsas.
The care Of the dog may we'll in
clude a somewhat lessened food supply
during the hot weather.
| There is NO reason to believe that If
short rations are good for human be-
ing during July and August they are
not good for tnan's friend, the dog.
/ The dog has lived with us SO many
centuries that he undoubtedly has
taken on some of our characters. les.
! A dog, no more than his master, needs
! food for heat, during Summer. Already
he is too warm.
A somewhat lessened food. supply,
therefore, probably would do much to
keep a dog In good temper and health
at this time of the year.
| The best way to treat a dog, in this
respect would be. not to cut down the
amount llc edLS per meal, DuC 10 make
! him go without a meal every now and
then.
Few animals in a state of nature get
set regular meals A return to natural
conditions. such as going without a
meal once or twice a week, would prob
ably be good for any dog-and also his
master.
* ~
Special care must be taken in hot
weather to keep ones dog free from
disease. While the methods previously
outlined will go far in this direction
what is needed also is the mental de-
termination to be on the watch out for
signs Of ailments.
Dogs should not be permitted to ex-
cite themselves unduly in hot weather
Here the mind Of man must step in
and restrain the animals from continual
rushings at automobiles, incesSant bark
ing. and the like.
Hot weather is no time. either for
man or dog, to indulge freely in the
first approaches to hostility.
Say to your friend. firmly but wisely:
Doggy, you must be philosophic until
this hot spell is over. Learn to be calm
and restrained, like yonder cat. Keep
your eye on Tabby. she knows how to
