R. Elliott, who with Mrs. Elliott recently spent ten days in the historical city. The travelers, spending the summer on a tour around the world, wrote that their room in the American Mission in Jerusalem was only 60 feet from the Arab-Jewish "no man's land." described as being from 75 feet to 100 yards wide. "Soldiers patrol each side," the traveler wrote. "There are Solomon's Temple. On it now barbed wire entanglements, sand j the Mosque of Omar, also called bags and other impedimenta Many buildings are a mass of rubble. Windows and doors are sand-bagged. One may see and hear from one side to the other Tenseness and hate prevail. "Every street has concrete piers at intervals, around which traffic must zigzag. A man got 10 feet out In no man's land; soldiers appeared from every where and grabbed him. "There are three Sabbaths in Jerusalem; Friday for the Mos lems, Saturday for the Jews and Sunday for the Christians. (There are no Jews here however.) A newspaper in English comes each day from Egypt, when the issue is not 'suppressed. "One hundred feet from our window is a tall Moslem mina ret from the top of which lusty voiced chap, five times each day calls tne faiintul to prayer. "We plan 10 days here at the American Mission In Jerusalem. It Is a truly famous and wonder ful place that has influenced lo cal and International affairs since 1881. years before Hull House of Chicago was in opera tion. It has functioned through danger, disease and Intrigue. An altruistic group if I ever saw one, serving all creeds and col ors. "All over the world we see united iNBlions schools, soup kitchens, refugee camps, chauf- ferod cars and large adminis tration bullditiRs. It seems about every third American we meet works for the UN, has 60 days a year at point ot vacation with travel lime not counted and for which latter he receives travel pay, plus a per diem for expenses. "Appropriately our alternate guides are Moses and Gabriel. They say there is plenty of food here, but little money, while on the Jewish side there is plenty of money but little food other than tinned products. "There are eight gates to the city. We have taken pictures of Damascus Gate (most used of all), Herod's Gate, the Golden Gate, (closed to the Turks) through which Jesus rode in his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and St. Stephen's Gate outside of which Stephen was stoned. Jaffa Gate was guarded by sol diers, some high up on the wall and no pictures allowed. Mt. Zion Gate where the "Last Sup per was eaten was also guarded by soldiers, who refused to let us take pictures, but were pleas ed to pose with me while Julia snapped us. 'Mt.

The mosque houses the famous rock. 12 feet high and 43 feet across with a natural 2-foot hole through It and from Which the Moslems say Moham med ascended to Heaven on his 'steed. Christians believe that it i was a place of sacrifice and the blood ran down through this hole into a natural cave under the ' I. i .i : i .4 I 1 ,u. luiit uuu uidiiicu uii uui iiuu wie Brook Kidron. Also that thia Is the mountain where Abraham of fered u d his son. Isaac. It is also j reputed to be an old threshing floor of which we have seen many in operation around here. 1 The cave is floored over and one may walk under quite a portion of the rock. "Underneath one corner of the great court yard outside In King Solomon's stables, where thou sands of horses were kept. Holes low down on the huge pillars in dicate that they tied their horses at floor level. We read that In this court yard, 10.000 people were killed at one time. Look- j ing east from the court yard wall, ! and over the Brook Kidron Val- j ley, one gets a good view of the i Garden of Gethsemene, where 80 of the 2000-year-old trees still flourish, the Mount of Olives ' where Jesus ascended after 40 days, the road down which Jesus rode on this triumphal entry as already'mentioned, and the area on the Mount of Olives where the disciples were taught the Lord's Prayer. High to the right is the hill where Judas hung t himself. i "These mountains and hills are not high. A little farther down : the Kidron Valley to the right is the Virgin's Pool and the colorful Pool of Siloam, where a dozen women were washing clothes and naked children bathing when we visited it more closely. Turning around and looking west from the court wall, one sees Mt. Cal vary and Mt. Zion. From the Refugee Wall, one may see the place where Peter denied his Lord three times before the cock crowed, as well as the 'Place of the Blood' where Judas made the 30 pieces of silver deal." Tobacco growers have been successful in getting rid of nema todes, a kind of worm which at tacks tobacco roots, by plowing under cockleburs. Cigarette factor!!
