onies. The distinctly regional fla
vor of Libya's towns and cities has
been preserved. The ancient
mosques at Koufra, Murzuk, and
Sidi Rata, hitherto in danger of dis
solution by time itself, have been
preserved for future generations of
Moslem worshipers and without any
sacrifice of their intrinsic beauty.
Tripoli, with a population of 100,-
600, has been almost entirely al
tered within the past few years.
Densely populated quarters such as
the Garden City, the workers dis
trict and the Cripple's Quarter have
developed rapidly.
Libya's ancient ruins, too, are re-
ceiving the same careful attention
as are her cities. Today the tour
ist can see marvellous buildings and
mosaics built by the Romans at Lep-
tbs Magma, Sabratha, Cyrene Ptole-
mais and Axpollonis. The splendid
Roman theater at Sabratha has been
reconstructed and is now the scene
of classical drama performed be-
fore audiences numbering into the
thousands throughout the tourist
season. At Cyrene the excavations
have restored to scholars many doc
uments and relics of the early Ro-
man era.

TRIPOLI, LIBYA.-In the future,
provided Italy's colonization pro-
gram is carried out as planned,
Africa and not the Western hemi-
sphere will furnish homes and iveli-
hood for Italy's growing population.
By the end of this month 1900
Italian families, totalling 10000 in
dividuals, will have arrived from
their mother country across the
Mediterranean to settle on farms
prepared for them by the govern
ment. A few years hence, provided
there is no setback in plans for the
complete colonization of Libya, this
number may swell to the hundreds
of thousands of land-owning farm
ers, populating Italy's overseas en-
pire.
Libya, only a nights journey
across the Mediterranean from Ital-
ian ports, is being developed with
equal thoroughness. But because
this North African colony already
possesses the essential features Of
civilization, her work embraces a
much broader program than that
thus far applied to Ethiopia.
Since 1885 when policy was orig
mated which contemplated the rap
i'd population of Libya with consid-
cradle numbers of peasants, vast
areas of state lands have been con-
verted. Soil has been tested and
prepared for crops it will best pro-
duce. Public health and sanitation
programs have been launched.
In addition to works which as
sist the agrarian colonization of Lib
ya,, Italy has taken into account the
cultural development of her new col

Horse Sense About
Winter Oil Change

Cold weather creates new prob
lens in fabrication. To overcome
damaging wear, the motor oil
must possess three essential char
acteristics: ID low cold test to
assure quick easy starts (2) abil-
ity to lubricate at all driving
speeds 60 durability to stand up
for reasonable mileage. Curiously
enough these requirements are
contradictory in that to assure one
factor it is very easy to unbalance
another.
The only safe rule to follow in
preparing your car for Winter is
to buy the very best motor oil,
Acid-Free Quaker State.
The refners of Quaker State
were pioneers in developing motor
oils for Winter use. Today in four
great modern refineries the most
modern equipment and methods
transform the finest Pennsylvania
grade crude into motor oils which
make automobiles, trucks and
tractors run better, last longer,
the year round.
The low cold test of Quaker
State Winter Oil assures smooth
easy starts. It's purity frees you
of worry about sludge, carbon and
corrosion. Its ability to stand up
is unequalled /. +. you go farther
before you need to add a quart.
It is merely commonsense to
practice economy. And the ac-
cumulated experience of car man.
ufacturers, engineers, and most
car owners proves that the use OF
high quality motor oil is genuine
economy. 1t is conservatively es-
timated by authorities that 30 to
80 per cent of all repairs to an
automobile are caused by faulty
or incorrect fabrication.
A wise man once said: est takes
II months and sometimes longer
to correct mistake on a farm"
Just so, five minutes running with
the wrong oil in the engine of your
car the first cold morning this
Winter can cause more wear and
damage than all the miles you
drove this past Summer.
Play safe with your motor in
vestment. Ask your dealer to pre-
pare your car for Winter with
Acid-Free Quaker State Winter
Oil of the proper grade for your
community.-Adv.

ZiOnists Seek Farmers

Arabs might also base their fears
on the Jews native aggressiveness
in commerce and industry. Even
the Zionists themselves fear this
trait, because they want Palestine
Hebrews to become farmers, not
city tradesmen. But they also
count heavily on Jewish patronage
from other nations in developing
Palestine's world trade, which will
consist largely of citrus exports.
If Great Britain could promise
that her Jewish protectorate would
not eventually control the Holy
Land, Arabs might be partially pac-
flied and might stop their policy of
terrorism which has taken about
$500 lives since July 5. But world
events have given the Arabs
strength during recent months.
Since the treaty of Munich, where
Great Britain capitulated to Jew
hating Germany and Italy, Arabs
have carried on a ruthless cam
paign of warfare in which they re-
ceive the nodding assent of dicta-
torial nations. Moreover they are
encouraged by-and envious of-the
freedom granted Arabs in Egypt,
Iraq and Syria. A mighty surge
of nationalistic feeling now prevails
throughout the Moslem world.
Britain has already limited He
brew migration to 1000 people a
month in the face of wholesale Jew
ish expulsion from all central Eu-
ropean countries. Within the past
two years she has sent two investi-
eating commissions to the Holy
Land, both of them returning with
out a solution. Since the Munich
treaty, Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain has been anxious to
settle this Palestine problem, par
tally as appeasement for Adolf Hit
Ter and Benito Mussolini.
Such an allegedly weakened"
policy has heaped bitter American
scorn on Prime Minister Chamber
lain, not only from Jewish leaders
but prominent statesmen and
churchmen. Sorely pressed, British
have retaliated that the United
States is welcome to her Palestine
mandate if she can do better Job
with hopeless problem.

Britain Holds
Fate of Jews
In Holy Land
Goth Century Holy War
Rocks the Cradle
of Religion
BY JOSEPH w. LaBINE

At its extremities the ancient
land of Palestine is 100 miles
long and 70 miles wide. That
an area so small should have
nurtured three of the worlds
greatest religions is an histor-
ical and geographic phenome-
non.
Thus we know that almost
thousand years before Christ
the Hebrew tribes of Palestine
recognized a national god, the
wrathful Jehovah. We know
even better how the Christ child
was born in Bethlehem several
centuries later, marking the
start of modern Christianity.
Less familiar is the story of
Mohammedism, which from
an inauspicious start in the
Holy Land has spread until it is
now embraced by a tenth of the
worlds population.
But if this is phenomenal, it is
even more shocking to realize that
the cradle of religion, the traditional
home of peaceful prophets and phi
losophers, is now in the midst of a
modern ''holy war" in which the
ghosts of half-forgotten traditions
have come home to roost.
Down through the centuries, He
brews, Christians and Arabs found
their freedom threatened and de-
stroyed by successive waves of in
vaders. 1t is recalled that in 100
B. c., upon their return from Egypt,
the Israelites held sway over Pal
estine and retained that power al
most unbroken until the Roman in
vasion of 63 B. c. Though Jews
have since been dispersed through
out the world, they have not for
gotten their promised land" and
the hope that some day they might
return.

Christianity came next and pros
pered temporarily despite the des-
potic Roman rule. Then, from Ara
bia to the south, came a new wave
of religion known as Mohammed-
ism. Its followers swept into Pal
estine, threw over the Roman re-
gime and became masters of the
Holy Land. But in the Seventh GEN.

arabs Cite Their Claim

But how about the Arabs? For Is
centuries their ancestors have titled
Palestine soil. They fought in the
World war against Turkey under
promise of freedom if the allies won.
Since the war their national popula-
ton of $4,000 has remained SUBJ
stantially unchanged, while huge
influx of prosecuted Jews from Eu-
ropean nations has swelled Hebrew
population from $4,000 to $4,000.

by Ottoman Turks and until the
World war Palestine remained I'M
der Turkish domination.
Today Palestine happens to be
one of Great Britain's numerous
problems. The modern background
of this problem dates back to 1915
when the British were scurrying
around for allies. To help defeat
Turkey they enlisted Arabic sup
port and in 1917 marched trium-
phantly into Jerusalem. In return
Sir Henry MacMahon, British high
commissioner for Egypt, had prom
ised the sheriff of Mecca that Arabs
would be given their independence.
But Great Britain forgot this
promise under the pressure of war.
Crafty Lord Balfour saw the value
of Jewish monetary support. With
DR.. Chain Weizmann, leader of the
Zionist movement, he won the Brit
ish cabinet over to plan whereby
Palestine would be installed as a
national home for Jews once the
war was finished. The famous Bal
four declaration of November, 1917,
was followed by a League of Ma
tons mandate giving Great Britain
control over the Holy Land.

that calls for series of pictures, in
stead Of one or two.
There are several points worth not
ing about this picture, especially since
it had to be seized on the spur Of the
moment, with little chance for plan-
ming and study.
Its most important point is drama
and four chief points make it dra-
matic-the strong contrasts Of black
and white, the figure of the man on
the truck, driving shafts Of water, and
the billowing smoke.
Just try covering the mans figure
with your finger and notice how the
picture loses its power. It becomes an
ordinary fire scene, without much
action or life. Now. try to imagine
the picture without the water and
steam beyond the standing figure. The
effect would again be poor, for the
mans figure would not stand out
clearly against the dark tone of the
building.

ideas for the notebook First, for pic
lures that have drama and life, in
