.HAIFA UNDER
HEAVY GUARD
in RACE RIOTS
1900 British Sailors and
Marines Landed From
INNS. Repulse

JERUSALEM, July 8. (UP)-
The British battle cruiser Repulse,
$4,000 tons, arrived at Haifa last
night with more than 1900 sail
ors and marines to help quell Jew
ish-Arab rioting which threatens
to plunge Palestine into Civil
war.
Ashore, British police an d
troops manned machine guns and
patrolled Haifa streets which still
have the appearance of battle
field, with bloodstains and scat
tered clothing disfguring the
sidewalks where more than 20
persons were killed Wednesday
and Thursday.
Similar dangerous tension eX-
listed in Jerusalem, where a rigid
curfew was ordered from p. m.
to 5 a. m. after a bomb killed four
Arabs and wounded Is others to-
day. A Jewess was arrested as a
suspect after the bombing, which
occurred near the American col
ony stores in the old city. Out
breaks occurred at Jaffa and Tel
Aviv and on the Trans-Jordan
frontier British troops and the
frontier guard fought pitched
battle with 600 Arab raiders try
ing to enter the Holy Land.
Five Arabs were killed, eight
were wounded and one, the lead
er of the band, was captured. 9th
er Arabs were reported massing
beyond the 100000 electrified
barbed-wire fence which the
British built along the frontier,
intent on joining their "persecut-
ed comrades" in Palestine in a
war against their oppressors.
Two battalions of British
troops in Egypt, comprising about
1000 men, were ordered to Pal
estine with all speed to assist in
restoring order. They will remain

here, London advised, until the
arrival in September of another
brigade of British soldiers total
ing between 1000 and 5000 men.
The Arabs are determined to
prevent Britain, which holds Pal
estine under a League Of Nations
mandate, from allowing further
colonization of the Holy Land by
Jews. Both the Jews and the
Arabs look upon Palestine as
their homeland. Earlier disturb
ances were caused almost entire
ly by Arabs, but in recent months
young Jewish extremists are be-
lieved in part responsible for
much of the violence.
Three hundred British marines
from the 7,500-ton cruiser Emer-
aid landed at Haifa yesterday but,
upon arrival of the Repulse, re-
embarked for return to England
as the Repulse is relieving the
smaller warship.

HARVESTING The CROP

The natural results of the Sc
cluded and primitive life among
the mountain people, in a pioneer
iny period which came two cen
turtles later than in other parts OF
America. was a barrier which
made of the Blue Ridge highlands
country within a country. Shut
off from contact and intercourse
with the outside world, there was
a seclusion and monotony of life
which might have tended toward
selfish interest and narrow views.
The log rollings, house raisings,
corn stockings and quilting par
ties were early customs winch

and 4 higher type of culture ana
manners among the settlers, and
did much to break down the ra-
cial lines between the different
nationalitics represented among
the first corners.
Nowhere today has improve
ment ever been made in the old
fashioned method of gathering
and shocking out the summer
Weld of corn. As it was done by
hand in the earliest days Of Amer
lea and this region, so today each
ear must be stripped of its COW
ering in the same way.
The cornShuckings were COM
munity workings, and the gather
ings became seasons of merry
making. There was keen rivalry
between the farmers in each COM
munitv to see who could have the
largest pile of corn when time
came for the husking. After the
corn was dry and ready for gath
, ering, in late Indian summer, 1t
was pulled and piled in huge
heaps along one of the rows. Wag-
onS followed along to gather up
and haul it to the barn lot. This
work of gathering continued for
DAYS, until long row had been
piled on the lot, fifteen or twenty
feet wide at the bottom and Of
ten a hundred feet long, taperlng
off on the top until not another
ear would stay in place. Hundreds
of bushels were in these piles; and
after it had all been brought to
the barnyard, invitations went out
for the corn shocking. At the lar
ger places, as many as eighty or
ninety men would gather in the
early morning and start work;
, Sometimes these were organized
| into teams for a spirited contest,
and many times the girls and
Young women would take part.

days, the stockings were made
