The Best They Had
THE FIRST missionary party
were not raw untried men.
They were Barnabas and Saul. the
top leaders Of Antioch. These men
had done great work in Antioch;
their usefulness there was not al
IN end by any means. But the
church sent them away to win
souls elsewhere. II is a mistake to
suppose that just anybody will do

Ignorant people who suppose

know the facts. A few years

missionaries sons furnished the
largest proportion Of those sue.

The reason for this, he believed

He never did a thing the hard way

believed In the One God and
who took seriously the Law
and the Prophets.
Barnabas and Saul stuck to cities
for another reason also. No, that
they despised small.town folk. but
they knew that cities are where the
crowds are. For every dozen PEG

there were hundreds TO be reached

uel Leibowitz, the Brooklyn
Board of Judges chose Edmond
Fitzgerald to visit Israel for a
few months and advise it's gov
eminent on these matters. He
found what had been expected -
that local jails are incredibly
primitive and lacking in equip
ment, and that the personnel have
strong idealist inclinations and
do their best to improve the sit
uation. Further details of the re-
port have not yet been published.
In any case, inexpensive reforms
are carried through constantly.
Among them are the introduction
of more civilian personnel instead
of uniformed wardens and the
abolition of severe punishments
for INSTRUMENTATION. Prisoners
now sleep on beds, instead of on
mats and pallets on the floor as
previously.
| Up to now the Tel Mond police
station has served as Israeps CEN
trail prison. Small auxiliary jails
have been reopened in all major
cities after a thorough renova-
ton, but are already insufficient
and overcrowded. Besides there
are lock-ups for persons await
ing trial which are always crowd
ed as a result of the large back
log in the court calendars. In
sane and chronically ill prisoners
must sometimes be confined to
police stations, and the lack of
prison hospitals facilitates es-
capes during visits to doctors.
PLAN MODERN INSTITUTION
A new order began a few
months ago, when the army re-
linquished the former British
police fortress between Ramleh
and LYDIA which is to be trans
formed into the country's only
and modern Jail with a capacity
of over 1000 inmates. Plans for
this rehabilitation exist from
mandatory days, but extensive
additions are needed to enlarge
the Ramleh fortress. The first
phase, on which prisoners are
employed, is to be completed
within a half year, when the es-
Enlistment will be capable of
housing up to 500 inmates.
The Ministry of Police is ne
gotiating with the ORT Union
for the establishment of modern
work shops in the planned new
central prison at Ramleh. The

In the folklore of Washington
the retirement parties in Gov
ernment Offices are events OF
social significance.
Near the closing hour there
comes a pause in the days oc-
cupation. Every one in the Sec
ton gathers around the desk OF
the employe who has come toI
the age limitation of the Civil
Service. Sometimes surprise is
achieved but more often the de-
parting one is awaiting the event
with mixed emotions.
The section chief gives little
talk often reading from notes be-
cause the career of the employe
is always longer and sometimes
more varied than his own. He
gives the date of every upward
change in grade and transfer in
agency.
Then he produces the electric
clock or the travelling case Or
in more recent parties-the tele-
vision set purchased from the
contributions of the fellow en-
ployes.
At that point the departing one
almost breaks down with the
realization that every one liked
him Cor herr all the time.
Desire to Travel.
Asked for a few words, the re-
tired employe often mentions that
a long-cherished desire for travel
will be neutrality-suspicious. a trip
to California or Florida.
Many of the retired Govern
ment employees make the trip to
the winter pleasurelands and even
to the town they left for Wash
ington, then come back to their
apartment in Columbia Heights.
The old apartment house on
Fourteenth street up the hill from
Florida avenue have many such
tenants. The retired women en-
ployes pretty well stick to their
apartments except for brief shop
ping excursions, but the men are
more restless and can be seen
on the sidewalks-often able-look-
ing men far younger in appear
ance than in years. They stroll
about during the hours when
other men are working. Perhaps
it would be a good idea for the
Commissioners to decree benches
on the sidewalks during clemen,
weather as in st. Petersburg. Fla

Map Can Be Puzzling.
This shows how puzzling the map
of Washington can be some
thing like Metropolitan France,
where the succession of mon
arches, empires and republics has
left conflicting pattern of his
torical principalities and present
day departments.
In it's much shorter history
Washington areas have undergone
marked boundary revisions through
social and political changes-the
latter being those effected by the
citizens associations. 1t is up tt
the local historian to acquaint
each succeeding generation with
them. For instance. the village o1
Mount Pleasant, a separate entity
in the 80s, lay on both sides ot
Sixteenth street. which was not
put through until early in thi,
century. But years ago the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association sur.
rendered everything east OF Six.

same side of the street was the
w. j. Stone farmhouse. In the
Maryland manner, it stood several
hundred feet back from the road,
probably about on the Thirteenth
street line at what is now Clifton
street.
The Stone property was pur-
chased by admirers of Senator
John A. Logan of Illinois, the man
who was Blaine's running mate in
the famous 1884 campaign in
which Cleveland was victor by
virtue of the Rev. Mr.. Burchard's s
unfortunate reference to rum,
Romanism and rebellion"
Logan was a remarkable man
who raised regiment in Illinois
in the Civil War and advanced
from colonel to major general only
to be relieved of his command by
Gen. w. T. Sherman during the
famous march to the sea. He was
always sure his difficulty was due
to the fact that he was not a
West Pointer and when he got
to the Senate the West Pointers
had a powerful enemy. He was
one of the foremost organizers of
the Grand Army of the Republic
the American Legion of it's day,
and is credited with making May
80 Memorial Day. Logan Circle
at Thirteenth and P streets is
named after him.
Named After Brother.
Sherman avenue Is not namet
after the general. but after hi
brother. Senator John Sherman O
Ohio. sponsor of the Sherman
Antitrust law. The Senator fol.
lowed Logan in the ownership ot
the Stone property and subdividee
it. It included all the property
above Cardozo High School anc
Garfield Hospital. The Senator
was not only against trusts, he wa:
against liquor. He covenahted al
the property he sold against its
being used for the sale of liquor
and those covenants have been ex-
ercised in recent years to prevent
liquor stores in the neighborhood
Favorite subject of reminiscence

bia Heights is the old horse car
This story stands out:
1t seems that the driver became
enamored of the daughter of g
cottager who lived at Fourteenth
street and Park road. His love
was not unrequited. She used tt
make breakfast for him when the
horse car arrived at that inter.
section, which was the terminal.
The commuters realized the
situation, but sometimes they
were in a hurry to get to work
They were above disturbing theil
friend the driver. One of then
would take the reins, drive tn
horse down to Pennsylvania ave
nue.. Another would collect tn
fares and leave the coins in
hiding place known to the driver
who, after he had finished hi
breakfast. would walk down tn
hill, recover his vehicle and re
