ANCIENT GARMENTS OF PALESTINE ARE SHOWN BY HABOUSH

Appearing in full native costume of

a Palestinian and describing each gar

ment giving its use and meaning. Stephen A. Haboush, the shepherd of

Galilee, spoke before an audience at

the First Presbyterian church Monday

night.

Mr. Haboush began with the large.

heavy, flowing outer garment, which, he said, was woven by the women of Palestine. 'The making of this gar

ment, he said, consumes the greater portion of ix months' time, as it is woven by hand. The costume is made

17 tying the fabric in small knots and

there are about 1,000 of these knots to the inch. Each garment has its distinctive pattern, the speaker said, and

is used by the men of Palestine as a

bed. The speaker thus explained the

passage in the scriptures where Jesus Christ commanded the afflicted man to

"Take up his bed and walk." . The girdle, a broad beautifully, dec

orated belt, he said, was necessary to make presentable the native of Palestine, for one is not considered fully

dressed without his girdle. The long

flowing inner garment is the most sacred of any of the clothing worn by

the natives of Palestine. Wears Headgear

The headgear worn by Mr. Haboush.

was composed of a light cloth held

tight over the head by a double band

or "tire," which is made of black goat

hair stuffed with Jamb's wool. He also exhibited a gold-woven feminine headdress, formerly worn by an Egyptian princess. Mr. Haboush played on the shepherd's flute which he had made himself

while a shepherd boy in Palestine. The moisture of the atmosphere prevented the complete success of his demonstration, however. Mr. Haboush told of his visit to the king of Syria, of his meeting with a distinguished Bedouin prince who invited him to a visit. While visiting the prince, he dined with him. He related the custom of sitting on the floor, an ancient custom which still obtains today. It was at this point that Mr. Haboush took exception to the setting of the great work of art. The Last Supper, stating that it was his belief that Christ must have served the last supper to his desciples seated on the floor rather than around a table as depicted in the painting. Shows Many Curios The speaker exhibits many strings of beads and other curios which he had brought from the holy land. He stated that every man in Palestine is equipped with a string of amber beads which he carries and fingers nervously while

carrying on a conversation. He here drew a similarity between that ancient Palestine custom and the habit of our American male gossips who feverishly whittle with a knife while discussing the problems of the day behind the stove in the country grocery st6re. The speaker stated that in Palestine, the men do the visiting instead of the women and he referred to "the seat of the scornful" as mentioned in the scriptures as being the place where the men congregated to gossip and discuss the weakness of other men much as do our American female gossips. Following his lecture on the customs and costume of the people of Palestine and Syria, which, the speaker said, are much the same today as in the time

of Christ, Mr. Haboush showed about 3,000 feet of motion pictures of the principal cities and points of interests in Palestine including Damascus, Capyernium, Jerusalem, the Jordon river, 'the Sea of Gallilee, Mt. Herman, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Mount of Olives and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

NEAR EAST RACE PLANS ARE HALTED

out our army and navy is to preclude i

further discussion of the problem of disarmament with the nations of the

world, and to insult the dignity' and honor of our country.

'Since the conference was a success

and the nations now know disputed questions can be settled in this manner, we also have taken another step

forward in making it more probable

that international trouble m future

may more likely be submitted to a con

ference."

Mr. Roosevelt closed with a resume

of the accomplishments of the Republi

can as contrasted with those of the

Democratic parties. Many rushed to the platform to shake hands with the speaker. The American Legion band

played.

Mr. Roosevelt urged the election of

Albert J. Beveridge to the United

Sates senate and the return of Repre

sentative Elliott to the lower house.

Although Mr. Roosevelt was late arriving here from Cincinnati wfrfre ho had visited his sister during the day.

the large crowd remained in the Coliseum to greet him. District chairman

George Elliott, of Newcastle1, was pre.

sent.

Referring to Rep. Elliott, who was

Henri Franklin-Bo. illon. The peace plans of Henri Franklin-Bouillon, FrencL envoy and father of the Mudania conference, have been halted by the disruption of the meet over peace conditions demanded by the TurkJ. The discussions may never be resumed.

on the stage, Mr. Roosevelt said: "I have Known Rep. Elliott and Mr. Bev

eridge for many yrars. I know them to be men of courage. Neither of

them is afraid to stand up and be counted upon a certain measure. I

have no use for a public servant who

make's his decisions on the basis of what will be most popular among his constituents. Both of these men de

serve your confidence and support."

The friendship- of many residents of

the city for President Roosevelt was extended to his son. William Dudley

Foulke,, who was one of the intimate friends of President Roosevelt, wa3 very cordial in his greeting of his

son last nght.

by Sir Anthony Fitzberbert, of Norbury, Derbyshire, and i3 in excellent condition, thought colored with age. It is bound in morocco.

(Continued from Page One ) sentatives, in gorgeous uniforms of army and navy dignitaries, and the assembly in the conference room, with the senate in one gallery, foreign diplomats in another, and delegates from each country ' seated around a baize covered table down on the floor, each with his group of military and technical advisers. "On this scene," said Roosevelt, "Balfour of England arose and then occurred one of those incidents so

common in political affairs, and formerly to be found in all such diplomatic gatherings. Mr. Balfour said, 'It is my pleasure to propose as permanent chairman of this conference, his excel

lency, the secretary of state of the

United States," and then, speaking very

fast and running the words together. Mr. Roosevelt concluded the quotation, T hear no opposition, he is elected.' "Mr. Hughes then arose, to make, as everyone supposed, the usual bland, perfunctory speech of acceptance and pious hope for the successful outcome of the conference. All the delegates settled back to endure it. But before he had been speaking five minutes, they began fidgeting, one or two got red in the face, and others hastily wrote notes and passed them back to their advisers. j Hughes Offers Plan "Mr. Hughes developed the plan that we had worked out. I was interested in seeing how the delegates from different countris received the proposals. True to their traditional imperturbability, the delegates from Japan betrayed their thoughts by not a single motion, sat impassive and with calm unmoved faces all through it. The Latin delegates, on the other hand, showed great excitement. Hughes developed

point after point of the plan, and amid thunderous applause, offered the plan for consideration.

"Out of that conference we got a navy second to none, equal to Great

Britain's and 40 per cent larger than any other country's, and we got it at

a saving to ourselves, of $200,000,000, by making it possible to discard our building program as every other country did. Had we continued as we were going, we would have had a navy that would have cost us $600,000,000 to maintain and would not have been as large proportionately. This one will only cost us about 60 per cent as much. New Principle "We also establish a new principle for estimating armaments. Before, nations were grouped into possible alliances and rival nations tried to equal the sum of all armaments that might be arrayed against them. That method the balance of power plan, failed as we have seen in Europe. "We took theplan of allowing every nation sufficient for defense, but not enough for an aggressive warfare. "I am not claiming that the confer

ence did away with war, if I should make such a statement I should become an old-fashioned political liar. We need a navy and we need an army. We must have a reasonable navy and an adequate army. We need such equipment when we go into international conferences. We need them in bartering with other peoples.

If you have not yet tried the new way. the silerine way, by all means do so. whether your hair be long or bobbed. You'll never again use the ruinous heated iron. The curliness will appear so perfectly natural and the hair will be so beautifully lustrous, instead of dried and parched. Thus liquid silmerine serves also as a beneficial dressing for the hair. It is neither sticky nor greasy, but quite pleasant to use. It should be applied with a clean tooth brush before putting up the hair, drawing the brush througa the hair from root to tip. The hair will hare the loveliest curls and waves imaginable in three hours, and it will be easy to manage, no matter how you do it up. A few ounces of the liquid from your druggist will last a long time. Advertisement.

Real Quality in Low-Priced Bedroom Suites in Mahogany and Walnut

A turn of the switch and the clothes are being whirled back and forth through the hot suds and steaming water. In just a short time they are cleaned. In the meantime, other household duties have been performed dishes washed, beds made, or perhaps the rooms made tidy. Almost before you realize it, the clothes are ready-for wringing. Through the rigidly constructed wringer they go from tub to tub so quickly you almost forget it's washday.

How low we can price our furniture is our aim. Bedroom suites, for example, are decidedly reasonable in price, but of a quality that makes

fine secondary. The suite pictured, with a handsome bow-foot bed,

comes in mahogany or walnut veneer, Queen Anne period, and is a very attractive value at
