Present Day Jerusalem
Described by Traveler
Tenseness and hate prevail in Jerusauem. according to Dr.
D. 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. Moriah was the place of
I1EARTDURN?

the Mosque of the Rock, is lo
cated. 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

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!! In Rich
mond Va turned out 8,059.000,.
000 cigarettes during March
1030. Total production for the
year through March was 24,
000,000,000 cigarettes.
