Have you ever seen a blind girl knit- ting, crochetting, or machine sewing and marvelled at her dexterity and accuracy? If you have ever witness- ed demonstrations at the Canadian National Exhibition as arranged in the Process and Women's Buildings during the past several years, you will understand.

He was soon climbing the stairs to the factory and heard through the open doors the whirr and buzz of bus'y ma- chinery and cheery words and snatch- es of song as the girls worked. View- ing the factory from the open door- way, he remarked on the neat and ef- fif ient layout. It was explained that since the products of this factory must compete with those of other manufacturers, every care must be exercised to prevent waste of time, effort and material. The factory was organized to give steady employment to blind women and come what may, no effort will be spared to accomplish this. It is true that a small subsidy must be pro\'ided to augment wages to the blind, and sighted assistance tnust be furnished to fetch and carry, »]so for inspection work on the gar- ments in order that no flaw in ma- terial or workmanship may be over- looked. The various processes in the factory were described. First, the many bolts of cloth in the neatly arranged stock- room, next the cutting table where blind girls, assi.ster by a .sighted atten- dant, were busily engaged piling layer on layer of cloth, seemingly without end. At last the luying-out operation being completed, paper patterns were laid on, matci ial marked, patterns removed, and that thick bed of cloth passed under the rapidly moving and almost invisible little cutting knife, The parts of the garments thus cut were assembled, and passed to the jlrls at the sewing machines. These tnaohlncs are arranged in rows and belted to a line shaft driven by a large olectrit- niotor.

Palestine Rapidly Becomes Land of Promise Under British Guidance By Dr. Joseph Silverman The government of Palestine Is Bri- tish. That fact, while not thrust Into one's face. Is readily apparent on en- tering the land either by rail or ship. Soon after crossing the frontier that separates Egypt from Palestine one comes upon the British military camps and outposts. The names of railway stations, all public notices, especially official ones, are given in three lang- uagesâ€"English, Hebrew and Arabic. The only flag that 1 saw publicly dis- played In Palestine was British. Arrived at Jerusalem, you are driven to the Allenby Hotel, formerly Hotel Past (German), and presently, If you walk a short distance, you read Eng- lish signs, "Postofflce and Telegraph" (under government control), and you come across Allenby Square and King George Avenue, the English church with a bulletin announcing time of ser- vice in English words. You go shop- ping and need no fears of not being understood, for nearly every store worth patronizing has one or several persons in charge who can speak good English. And then your attention Is riveted on the trafllc policeman, whom you timidly approach, not knowing how to accost him. when he antici- pates you with the query, "Wliat can 1 do for you, sir?" Tommy can easily spot a foreignerâ€" beg pardon, an Eng- lishman or American â€" for he may him- self be English or American by birth or naturalization, and Is at present a Palestinian either by accident or sen- timent Beneficent Rule. If you are a discerning tourist and appreciative of law and order, fair prices and Justice to all, you are thank- ful that tbe Hritish guvernmeut Is in control. Otherwise you would have had to deal with Turkish officials at the custom bouse, on the railways, etc., and you would have been deprived through exorbitant fees of many pounds with which you can now In- dulge in a Ilttlo extra expenditure. You have not been In Palestine twen- ty-four hours when you realize with what a beneflclent, fair, liberal and Just hand the British administration manages the countiy's affairs.

The elite of Jerusalem, in fact of all Palestine, has adopted the English custom of taking tea at 5 p.m. It was Sir Herbert Samuel's office to Institute a government for Palestine when he assumed the ofllce of High Commtssioher on July 1, 1921, upon the ending of the military administra- tion. What kind of government was It to be? In a measure the nature of the government had been tlxed by the mandate, which neither Great Britain nor the High Commissioner had the power to amend. The duty of tho man- datory power Is to execute the will of the League of Nations. Article II. of lishment of such a government as will facilitate the development of a Jewish national home without prejudice to the civil and religious rights of non-Jewish communities. r Fourfold Character of Government. In the practical carrying out of this principle and the other articles of the mandate based thereon the govern- ment of Palestine assumed a fourfold character, to wit: The central government (British). Local self-government (Jewish or Arabic, depending on the nature of the particular locality). Bible conflicts or prejudices would be eliminated. In accordance with Article II. of the Mandate all religions are granted ab- solute autonomy, there being a total separation of Church and State. The Moslem religious courts have exclu- sive Jurisdiction In matters of person- al statua of Moslems and deal with marriage, divorce, Inheritance, wills and cases involving poverty dedicated to religious or charitable purposes. The non-Moslem communities have Jurisdiction also in matters of mar- riage, divorce, alimony, wills and In- 8lr Herbert Samuel High Commissioner of Palestine Church or communal governments heritance, and the Judgments given by (Jewish, Moslem and Christian). the religious courts in these matters The Palestine Advisory Council for are executed through the executive of- Legislatlon. | flee of the civil courts.
