SULTAN OF SULU NOW TRAVELS IN HIS OWN "JOYBUSS"
The great change wrought In the daily life of the inhabitants of the Philippine by automobiles and good iroads is told by Army Armstrong In ici recent lasuo of the Manila Dally (Bulletin: i "The rultaa of Sulu came to town the other day: that is, to Jolo town, while I was making a brief visit to the capital city of the Sulus. "Ha came In with his prime minister and retinue, including a couple of body guards in full regalia. The sultan had all his glad rags on and carried his finest beetle nut box of chased gold. "It recall to tn9 the last time I saw ihe ruler of the Moros enter Jolo back in 1902, when he came In for 1.1a first big pow-wow with Colonel Hookey Wallace, the American big nchlef In Jolo at that time. His eulkanshlp rode in over the trails from tMlauban on a coal-black stallion, and
(besides this royal suite and umbrella
arrlers, had as his escort some 200
tlghtlng men with spears waving and
arongs and krises a-glitter in the
un, all in a ragtime of color that
hamed the rainbow. They had been
five hours coming over the nine-mile ftrail from his summer home; the coming was pretty bad. i A Striking Contrast.
"How different the entry I saw last week. This time he breezed over in fifteen minutes In his big passenger
car over as perfect and pretty a road
as you will find this side of Riverside drive. He had come in to look over
ome new accessories and fittings he was having in stalled on a new llmou-
clne he has bought for the rainy season, and which will be a convenient chopping car for his favorite wife and a dozen or so other wives that will be permitted to use it, and I thought to
wnyself what a wonderful combination
they make for civilization automobiles and first-class roads.
But this same thing has been going
Win all over the islands for the past
decade or more, and what a contrast
with what we found here in '98 and
99 when we learned by hiking how
kad the roads really were. From zero kminus In '9S to the present time the change has been marvelous, for today k.090 kilometers of first-class roads tare being maintained in the Philip-
1X163, to say nothing of 5,14 Rlloleters more of second and third-class
Iroads, much of which are available for eutos;
A Network of Roads i "Nor are these highways centralized; they make a network over the "archipelago that forms the greatest piiiKle factor in the development of -the resources of the Phillippines. I asked Charles A. Tansill, general assistant to the director of public works, and who knows all about roads and autos, as to how many we have of the latter. When this bureau was formed almost two decades ago.' replied the veteran official, 'we had registered four road rollers and one tank engine on wheels. On the first day of January, 1919 we had 7.379 motor vehicles registered, of which 1,301 were new during the year. Of the total, 1,143 are motorcycles or trycyclcg and they are coming in through the customs house this year in bigger numbers than ever before. This is what good roads have done for this country. Wild Men Joyriding "The sultan is not the only southern island chieftan who enjoys joy riding, as in the far-away Davao the pictureesque head men of the Manobos, Bogobos and still wilder men from the mountains have the gasoline fever. The Davoa district has only twentyone kilometers of road, but scores of cars and trucks are busy hauling hemp and savage wild men, who trade half a bale of hemp for a couple of hours' riding h.w I. -mil forth. The lgorots, in the ir -ins of the north several years uao . aed the pleasure oL the road. Where formerly these husky mountaineers set a pack on !1heir shoulders and went down over the mountain trails into the lowlands, 'they now take passages on one of the many pasenger autos out of Baguio, itud in a lew hours over the famous Benguet or Naguillan roads are in the valley trading their hill treasures for lender dogs and other delicacies.The smaller Islands, as well as the bigger nd more densely populated, are given the advantages of these wonderful highways. Rugged Bohol island has jts first-class roads over the hills Into the interior. Dark and bloody Samar hag its system also, mostly along the coasts where formerly blood-thirsty Pulajanes lay in wait for landing soldiers or bluejackets. Revelation to the Islanders "The public works bureau has done iwonders and combated many difficulties, and bo have the auto pioneers who first took a chance in the provinces and established truck lines into ihe interior. The island of Leyte was nn example of this. Rich and fertile ,in the Interior, but with no transportation. Its thousands of tons of hemp jsind copper were formarly packed to the coast cities on the backs of diImlmitlve ponies. Then a line of t rucks was put in. It was a revelation to the islanders, but they appreciated it, and the system has been the making of JLieyte, together with the roads that made it poslble. In great Luzon it is tho same story. On the roada of tho fertile valleys of Camarlnea tuid Albay provinces autos jind trucks ftra making life more pleasant and profitable for provincial folk, and this system is duplicated In t he great central Luzon valley, where fleets have Dagupau as a base."

ZIONISTS PLAN WATER SUPPLY FOR PALESTINE FROM THE NILE
Moses solved the first water supply problem of Palestine, when the exodus from Egypt reached the desert of the Sinai peninsula, a problem which has been acute in the Holy Land ever since, although the country has a heavy yearly rainfall, which can be converted into a tremenduous water supply, in the opinion of engineers of the Zionist organization of America. From the average yearly rainfall f 26 inches, enough water could be stored up In Palestine to support a population of 15,000,000, according to James Haines, secretary of the Zionist Society of Engineers, which is laying plans for a water supply system for the Holy Land, as part of the restoration work necessary to make the land ready for the hundreds of thousands of Jews the society expects will emigrate there as soon as the political status of the country is defined. Allowing for 50 per cent, loss through evaporation and running olf. Mr. Hainps has figured that the year
ly rainfall over the 20.000 square miles of Palestine will provide a future J population of 6,000,000 with a daily" per capita supply of 2,055 gallons. I The average daily consumption in New York city at present is estimat-
ed at about 800 gallons. An Ancient Prediction Utilization of the Nile as a source of Palestine's water supply, predicted thousands of years ago, when the ancients were combating the same problem, was accomplished by a remarkable engineering achievement, of General Allenby's army. Pipes were laid from the "sweet water canal" near Kantara, which was its source in the Nile, and water pumped at the rate of several million gallons a day across the Suez canal, through the desert, supplying the lower portions of Palestine. That the example of the British royal engineers will be followed and the waters of the Nile tapped by the Zionists in their plans to supply lower Palestine, including the Sinai peninsula, with large amounts of water for irrigation, was the opinion of Mr. Haines. In the Sinai peninsula alone there are between 3,000 and 5,100 square miles requiring irrigation. While irrigation of lower Palestine will require drawing on the Nile, upper Palestine need not go out of the country, as the tributaries of the Jordan for a natural basin, which will be ideal for the Irrigation projects of the Zionists, which will be put into operation along with other reconstruction plans through the $10000,000 Palestine restoration fund being raised throughout the country this year. Because of the rainfall of Palestine is bunched In practically five months of the year, the inhabitants have had recourse to cisterns, in which to store their supply for the year. Most of these cisterns have been found to be filthy and breeding places for the mosquitoes which have carried malaria over all Palestine and made one of the most serious sanitary problems medical officers in Palestine have had to combat. While these cisterns are being cleaned out and petrolized by the British and Zionists medical engineers call for their abolution and the instal
lation of modern water supply systems, because the cisterns have been a health menace to Palestine. Hezekiah, Solomon, Pontius Pilate and Herod all tired to get a supply of pure water into Jerusalem, but it remained for the British to do the job in little less than seventy working days. From the springs sixteen miles south of Jerusalem water now flowing Into Jerusalem at the rate of 200.000 gallons a day through a six inch pipeline. The total capacity if the line is 300,000 gallons daily but the springs have twice this capacity.
