Palestine Has
No JobLess,
Lou Taxes

JERUSALEM, Jan. 27 G.N.S.).
While the rest of the world
groanS under heavy taxation,
unemployment, and overloaded
national budgets, Palestine is in
the happy position Of being
virtually a modern Utopia.
She is the only country
absorbing a relatively large
number of immigrants; she is
one of the few countries with
a balanced budget and with
u comfortable balance Of nearly
$3,500,000 salted away or ear
marked for improvements.
Even more striking, she is
one of very few countries know
ing no unemployment, except
intcr-seasonal idleness among
the Arab villagers.

Dull Evidence
Puts Juror
In Coma

Unceasing oratory about
checks and money proved too
much for Walter Buxton, Of
Damascus, Md, a Juror listen
ing to the second trial Of Berry
E. Clark on a charge Of en-
bezzlement.
The hour was growing late
and Mr.. Buxton, along with his
II fellow-jurors, had gone into
the jury room to weigh the
evidence when Morpheus visited
him.
After he fell asleep, his chair
slid from under him, causing
him to fall on his head.
Although the cut was deep
enough to draw blood, it proved
not serious enough to keep him
from his duties.

grandson, John CASTOR, who was born
in Ireland In 1908, was the American

TO believe that a wholesale massacre

The breath of the camel is something
to avoid Its coat is thick and deep,
ruddy brown. The dromedarieS, so
often confused with the camels, have
one hump, the camel two. They mate
the parents and often has the DISPOSE
ton of the other. The dromedary is
even less pleasing and amiable in his
manners than the camel
In spite of the clumsy appearance,
the camel can make speed A strong
one can travel 19 to 25 miles day
with q burden Of some four or even
five hundred pounds and trot one-haf
of the journey. On trips of great dis
tanceS the animals must have whole
days rest every eight days. Let a
small animal run across ones path and
he will be thrown into abject terror,
otherwise he is not disturbed by any
thing.
Camels can thrive on the poorest
of food. The stories about going SO
long without water are greatly exag-
gerated They can do without water a
long time, but it is hard them to
do so. Moist foods are most helpful on
long trips.
In the Spring the mother gives birth
to one baby. 1t is a helpless, leggy
youngster, about the size of colt, 3
feet high. They have on a lovely, soft.
thick, woolly coat of hair. Their eyes
are wide open and have a quizzical
expression. The hump is small and
the callosities just discernible. The
woolly coat is soon replaced by one of
long hair and the baby looks very much
like his cousin, the alpaca.
The mother nurses her baby and is
very tender and gentle with it, though
she will not adopt one if she should
lose hers. Tender grass is added to
the babys diet and the mother is
MIXED. The milk is too rich for any
but the natives to relish When the
camel is 2 years old it has its nose
pierced and the bride stick put through

its third year is used for short rides
In its fourth year it is taught to carry
light burdens and in its fifth takes its
full quota

camels IS delicious. The hides of
camels are made into tents and various

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY

And will prove a great deal jollier,

Where a laundering, snowy mass
May sweep you down from the noun

To yawning and wide crevasse,
Where you'll cool your brow an con from

In depths that are quite unmeasurable;
But spending a day mid the flowers of
May
Is likely to prove more pleasurable.
Vesuvius' peak, with the smoky streak
Which streams like rage of fire,
Is glorious goal toward which ones

On an Autumn day is glorious,

TINE "son of the desert" has a
mean disposition. Though he is
most important to his owner.
and for this he Is duly appre-
ciated, he is never loved. In
fact, the camel seems to do everything
to keep you from loving him. He is
not an intelligent creature. He is stub
born, sulky and vicious. No matter
how kind his keeper is, let q chance
appear to give him sharp, vicious nip
and he will seize the opportunity every
time. Not satisfied with this unkind
act, he will even spit in his keepers
face.
The vocal utterances of the camel
are ear-splitting, and the first time you
hear one 1t is nerve-racking. Some
camels have a habit of groaning and
crying when they lift their load from
the ground. This is greatly disliked,
and when camel is being sought for
purchase this is one of the first ques-
tions asked. If the buyer is assured
the camel is no wilmer, usually the sale
is made, all other things considered
equal.

roars, grunts, means and gurgles
