Jerusalem.--Part of th« wall Inclosing Jerusalem built by Agrippe, one of the last Jewish kinps, and destroyed by Titus, has been unearthed recently. About 00 yards of the wall, some four yards In thickness, has been uncovered by the Jewish Exploration society. This discovery has aroused deep Interest In archeologicat and religious circles. If this is the third Of the series of walls built around Jerusalem. It Is argued, it brings Into question the authenticity of the site of the Holy Sepulcher, which is thus placed out sk}s the dty walls. Started by Agrlppa. The third wall was commenced t>j Herod Agrippa about 40-44 A. D., and was interrupted by the Roman governor of Syria, to be completed later by the Jews before the final siege of the dty. By all accounts there were three walls which protected Jerusalem on the north, built successively both for the protection of the weakest side of the defensea and to afford room foi M Government Dairy Expert Boosted John H.

Adherents of this view especially a large number of the English community, who have always entertained doubts about the location of the Holy Sepulcher. see further confirmation in the discovery of vhrt 1* believed to be the third wall. Situation Is Awkward. The Jewish Exploration society, which is conducting these excavations, holds with Dr. W. F. Albright, director of the American School of Oriental Research here, that "the discovery of the Agrlppen wall does not seriously affect "this long smoldering question." Doctor Albright admits the situation Is awkward. "Shall wa decide for the Holy Sepulcher and against the evidence, or against the Holy Sepulcher and also against other evidence of little less cogency 7" Doctor Albright asks. "Neither horn of the dilemma la necessary. The present north waif of the dty dates back only to Hadrian's time snd represents a wholly new line of wall. We are forced to the conviction that archeology rarely affects the question of holy sites. The location of the Hoi* Sepulcher will remain Just as certain or Just as obecure as it Is today." Along with this discovery there has been unearthed a mosaic belonging to the late Byzantine period.

When Gutaon Borglum destroyed the models for Cha^pwrt Stone mountain memorial, la ddMied as a reminder Of tha 8oUth and her leaders, he set an example that haa betn followed by another artist 4000 mfles away. The dty of Milan has been holding a content among artists for a design of a monument la be erected in honor of the dtyfc asM who fell in the World war. Many aad varied and beautiful have been the designs submitted. Yet none seems to hare filled the want as expressed by tha Jury of award. They want something different from any memorial yet erected. They want something that shall be eternal, that shall breathe of sacrifice, liberty and glory. They want something everlasting but lyrical, G. 11. U writes In tha New York Times. The design entitled "Alia Gloria" by. Giannino CastlgUonl seems to hs\% won the greateat number of admirers. It is a gorgeous thing. Upon the top of twelve great marble pillars are twelve figures representative of twelve great battles of the war. Sis on a side, these pillars form a wide design In the center of which Is a solitary stone, flanked by wide marble steps are two figures which seem to Indicate grief and pride of achievesaent. The whole is tt»o beautiful to stand the wear and tear of the years. And the judges want something that Will last forever. They seem to want a great pyramid, not a Temple of Kphesus; they want an Alp or a Himalaya, not a Leaning Tower of Pisa or a Milan cathedral. They seem willing' to abandon beauty for durability. They want something set upon a hill In Milan that will strike the visitor Immediately upon his arrival, something that will be seen from afar. "Alia Gloria'* was a beautiful thing. It Is so no longer. The artist was disgusted with the failure of the Jury to accept his design. Be did not take an ax In har.d and destroy It in a fit of temper. He, it seems, talked it over with other artists whose designs had not received recognition. These artists --since misery loves company--did not continue to advocate the surpassing beauty of their own efforts. They concentrated their displeasure Upon the failure of "Alia Gloria" to win recognition. 80, apparently with the concurrence of the designer, they destroyed tha model of a very beautiful memorial. ' - From Atpfudf Heavy paper is now being made by the use of asphalt. After the fibrous materials have been treated, to remove impurities, they are macerated, pulped, with water and formed into sheets by pressure and dried by heat. Much paper and cardboard for wrappars, cartons, and the like consists of a layer of cheaper material between sheets of better quality. The aim of the new process is to glvs a better product, made proof against water and vermin, and this accomplished by substituting the asphalt layer for the Inferior tilling. This Isyer Is a thin sheet of pulp Into which an emulsion of liquid asphalt with a •mail amount of suitable clay and sufficient wster are Introduced.

Barach Give* $250,000 4to Take Profit From Wat* New York.--For study of the possibility of maintaining world peace by taking the profit out of war, Bernard M. Raruch has given at least $250,000 to the Walter Hlnes Page school of International relations at Johns Hopkins university, Owen D. Young, chairman of the trustees, hi\n announced. Investigation will be carried on at Johns Hopkins and at foreign universities, the exact amount of the gift to depend on the^osts of the studies over a period of at least three years, possibly $300,000. v In a letter to Mr. Barach regarding the gift Mr. Young wrote: "By taking the profit out of the war we understand you to mean that you would limit profits through regulation to as to prevent profiteering. Certainly, an absence of such profits would tend to repress that Jingoism which encourages war, and, if war were begun, to shorten rather than prolong it. "If profit is eliminated from war everywhere, and If the mobilization sf things and dollars is carried along I Formation of Habits Makes for Lost Motion One morning I happened to be up early and went to a lunch counter reataurant for breakfast at about 8:40. The place was so crowded I couldn't get near the counter. But only 15 minutes later the rush was over and there were seats to spare, Fred Kelly writes In the Nation's Business Magazine. Which made me think that one of the silliest things .about us humsn beings Is our habit of all trying to be at the same place at the same time. Why shouldn't there be more scattering of hours of eating and hours of labor t Why must so many reach their offices at about 9 o'clock? Why should not subway and street car rush hours be more divided? Not long ago I walked at 2 a. m. along a famous thoroughfare that a few hours earlier was bedlam. The street was quiet and delightful. I fdt as if I should «ke to sleep all day when everybody else Is getting m one another's way and do my moving about at night when others are asleep. Why not? Why conldnt more work be dona at night? Half the men who go to offices at a certain hour do so only because tha boss hasn't enough imagination to recognise that It Isn't reaily necessary. The chief statistician for a big Institution teHs me that when he occasionally takes a day off and works at his place In the country he Is twice as useful to his employers as If be were at the office. Because he Is in a quiet spot, free from interruption, he naturally accomplishes more work snd his employers get the benefit But If he were to ask fbr the privilege of doing all his work at home he undoubtedly would be regarded aa a shirk. His employers like to know that he Is at a certain desk In the main office. Because It is necessary for a few people to do their work at the office, the boss falls to recognise that It Is not equally essential for everybody. What a lot of lost motion may be traced to following rules and customs --to doing what is generally considered :tjbe proper thing! ? * ""-i • ' m 7 iWHiCl, • HonoluUk - Honolulu this time was a revelation.
