ZIONIST MOVEMENT IS BUILDING PALESTINE
Alfred Mond Who Has Just Return From Jerusalem Enthusiastlike
London, March 29.-Sir Alfred Mond, First Commissioner of Works in the British Ministry (equivalent to Minister of Public Works), who has just been appointed to be an enthusiastic about the progress of the Zionist movement in Palestine. Sir Alfred is himself a member of the Jewish faith and has been spending some time with his co-worker at the High Commission at Jerusalem.
He says that Palestine is getting a very fine class of young Jews from the Ukraine and Galicia, having fled from Bolahevik persecution. Most of them are accompanied by their wives and intend settling down permanently in the Holy Land. "These young men and women, most of them belonging to the 'intelligence' class, and including university men with academic railways readingmak, have been in the reconstruction of the country with enthusiasm and real patriotism," he declared in an interview with the United Press.
"The American group of Jews are doing wonderful work medically and the Zionist Medical Union has been spending 850,000 a month. One of the most impressive things was the young generation of Jews, whose parents were immigrants to this country. They are fruit-growing and farming and showing that the race will go back to their original role or cultivators of the soil.
"They lead a rough, hardy life, husband and wife literally pitching their tents by the roadside. Nearly all the work on the land is being done by Jews, some of whom have come great distances. One Persian Jew walked all the way from Persia to Bombay to get to Palestine. I also met some very interesting men, many freewheelers who came from the other side of Winnipesau, and they had plans to bring over other groups with treenets and capital for working the land.
"I found an Armenian family, who had escaped massacre in their own country by their skills, now my the irony of fate, repelling one of the Mohammedan mosques in Jerusalem. He contracted by an English architect.
'Sir Herbert Samuel has managed to obtain the confidence of the Arab leaders, and has convinced them of his desire not only to assist them, but to give them 'a square deal'. The government is opening offices in Palestine and Jewish and Zionist leaders realize that the British insist on the proper treatment of the Arabs and their property. Great schemes of public works are going forward, but it should be understood that the civil administration of the country's funds, and that Britain is only subsiding the military bargain.
"Not only is Palestine quiet, but security is good and improving. An Arab and Jewish police force is being established and a local militia is in charge of security port are developing, and the barren old land system, which left ever-
hing at an economic standstill, is give way to a new order, Turkish rule eft everything at a low ebb, the country was even defoorted owing to a ax on trees, and the livestock was educated terrily."
Sir Alfred Mond declared that there are immense possibilities in the country, which was essentially a land for the small-farmer. There is mineral wealth of phosphates and possibilities of oil.

Many Hardings Are Capital Residents
Washington, March 29. (United Press)—Boy, page Mr. Harding!
He's got a man's sized job on his hands, for in Washington's city directory there are exactly 69 Mr. Hardings. Not only that, but the Hardings occupy slightly over half a page in the big book of names. The other 41 possessors of the distinguished appellation (for they total 110) are women.
governance in the context of the state.
Included in the family are policemen, firemen, motormen and clerks, timers, carpenters, chauffers and detectives. But there's only one President in the list and he is the only one who uses the prefix "W. G."
True, there is William P. G. Harding, Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, but this is the closest approach to "Warren G." And there's a Mrs. Lawrence in and behind her and in Pennsylvania. She is a clerk at the Navy Yard.
Still, considering, our bell-boy has less of a job paging Mr. Harding than he did Mr. Wilson, for the Wilton names in the directory, about 500 names in the directory, about 500 names.

LADIES
have a care for your small watch
Almost any watch will run for months after the last drop of oil on the bearings has disappeared. And it goes with out saying that injury will follow as surely as the night follows the day. It must be overhanded at least every eight to 12 months—taken apart entirely—removing old drip-up burns; repolishing carpets; repairing floors; and for good or worst, a lady's small watch will last six or eight months and it takes a grain of dirt the size of a needle point to stop the watch. Dirt will get inside.
