They are Capt. Joseph B.

liner obviously did not enjoy
being on the receiving end Of

Deliberate Replies
He made his replies deliber-
ately, giving the impression he
had no intention of being

difficult to understand which
side he benefited. He was, of
course, called as a prosecution
witness. ,
He testified Van RE admit

he thought the word "intima-

quite satisfactory. This lat
tice is made Of wood strip
about two inches wide and

AS a rule the posts of piers

There are many houses.

are built separately from the

Usually these are built on
posts or on cement-hlock or
brick piers. and the area be-
meath them Is left open. This

but is also a very dangerous
one.
To begin with; dried leaves
and grass. small twigs and
wind-driven paper, have a
habit Of blowing under the
structure, accommodating and
drying until they form q fine
mass Of tinder, ready to
break into q flame If a spark
reaches them. 1t is almost
impossible to reach the fire
to put 1t out unless a hose
happens to be right at hand.
Another thing about these
open areas Is that rats. cats
and all kinds Of small ami
mails are apt to make them
a nesting place, and the re-
suit is frequently odorous
and dirty.

Ify0u should happen to visit the Val

If you like your history pre-Civil War
style, you'll find plenty in the Valley.
You can start with George Washington

Washington began all his careers in
the Valley. AS a surveyor, he went to
work for Lord Fairfax, and he received
his initiation into politics as member

Thousands Visit
HOLY Land At
Christmas

Jerusalem and the Holy Land
at this time Of the year attracts
thousands of Christians from
throughout the world. They
come by every means of trans
portation to visit the shrines and
Holy places so important to the
Christian world.
In Bethlehem they find the
Church of the Nativity. tradit-
lonal SC enc of the birth of
Christ, which is cared for by
monks of may sects.
From the Mount of Olives.
where Jesus prayed and Wept
over Jerusalem, visitors can see
the great beauty Of the Holy
City and the great wall that
Herod built. Beyond it is the
Dome of the Rock which ira
tition says marks the place
where Solomon built his temple
and jeremiah hid the Ark of
the Covenant.
Near Jerusalem is the Gar
den of Gethsemane where Jesus
prayed the night before he was
killed. Some of the olive trees
are said to date from the time
of Christ's entry into the Holy
City. The garden is cared for to-
day by Franciscan fathers.
The tomb of Mary, mother of
Christ. is near here and attracts
many pilgrims.
Visitors to Jerusalem today
can not enter by the Golden
Gate. It has been blocked and
they must use the Dung Gate
which leads into the North Afri-
cen Quarter.
From inside this gate one can
see the hottest places in Chris
tlandom the Church Of. the
Holy Sepulcher, erected over
the place where Christ was cru
Gifted and buried.
1t was completed in the twelfth
century by the Crusaders and
many different Christian orders
have shrines here.
One of the many traditions of
the church is that the keys are
kept by a Moslem of the family
Of Nusaibeh. This custom has
been in practice since the time
of Saladin, who was Sultan of
Egypt and Syria from liza to
1893.
Supposedly by letting the fam
lily Of Nusaibeh keep the keys
to the church it will keep peace
among the many Christian fac
tons.

Nichols because of bad eye

But even with only one

said he still can see that they
don't make girls as pretty to-
day as they did when Mrs.
Nichols was a girl.
Mrs. Nichols bright blue eyes
twinkled at the compliment.
She explained that she
hadn't attended a class reunion
before because she didn't know
the class had reunions until
I saw Mr.. Barr's picture in the
paper last year."
