LORD BALFOUR OPENS
HEBREW UNIVERSITY
ON MOUNT SCOPUS
f JERUSALEM, Apr. 8—(AR).—The
Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
which is to be opened here April
1 by Lord Balfour, who comes from I
London especially for this purpose,
is the first European institution of
its kind, says the university commit
tee’s announcement, “to be erected
* on oriental soil by an eastern peo
ple who, after 2,000 years absence,
are returning to the east with the
culture of the west.’'
The university occupies the sum
mit of Mt. Scopus, just outside the
gates of the ancient city, overlook
ing the city of David, and in the
distance may be seen- the mountains
of Moab and the Dead Sea. The
aims of the institution were outlined
at the laying of the cornerstones in
July of 1918 by Dr. Chaim Weizmann,
member of the central board of di
rectors, in part, as follows:
“It seems at first sight paradoxical
that in a land with so sparse a pop
ulation, in a land where everything
still remains to be done, in a land
crying out for such simple things as
ploughs, roads and harbors, we
should be creating a center of spir
itual and intellectual developments.
But it is no paradox for those who
know the soul of the Jew. It is true
that great social and political prob

TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen

One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one/’
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.

lems still face us, and will demand
their solution. We Jews know that
when the mind is given fullest play,
when we have a center lor the de
velopment of Jewish consciousness,
then coincidentally we shall attain
the fulfilment of our material needs.
“Our university, formed by Jewish
learning and Jewish energy, will
mold itself into an integral part of
our national structure which is in
process of erection. It will have a
centripetal force, attracting all that
is noblest in Jewry throughout the
world; a unifying center for our
scattered elements. There will go
forth, too, inspiration and strength,
that shall revivify the power now
latent in our scattered communities.”
The university, as completed to
date, was built by funds received
i from all parts of the world, several
endowments of considerable amounts
having come from the United States.
The language to be used in the uni
versity will be the language of the
prophets of old, Hebrew, and courses
of free popular lectures are planned
to begin this summer.

Japan’s Colossal Buddha
Restored To His Dais
--
TOKIO, Apr. 8—(AP).—The Dai
butsu, the colossal bronze Buddha
of Karakura, is once more seated in
his ancient position on the lotus
flower dais from which he was jolted
a few feet in the great earthquake.
For nearly a year the work ot res
toration has been in progress. The
huge casting, weighing 145 tons, was
raised from its pedestal and kept
suspended while the base was tec
tified. Thereupon the image was
lowered carefully into position.
The Johnson Packing Company of
Latouehe has been incorporated with
J. G. Johnson, president.
Fourteen specially constructed radio
receiving sets have been ordered by
the government for installation in the

Ideal Homes Sought
for Disabled Soldiers
DETROIT, Apr. 8.—(AP).—An en
dowment fund with which to main
tain Spencer Manor as the home of
disabled and aged veterans, their
widows and orphans, is contemplated
by the National Veterans of Foreign
Wars.
Spencer Manor, a 472-acre tract of
rolling country land near Eaton Rap
ids, Mich., and fronting for a mile
on the placid Grand river, was the
gift of Corey J. Spencer, wealthy
clubman of Jackson, Mich., and a
member of the order. “A village full
of life, hope and happiness” is Mr.
Spencer’s idea of what Spencer Man
or should be. The tract of land
which lie deeded to the organiza
tion lies between Jackson and Lans
j ing and is of clay loam. -All but
j 100 acres of the soil is tillable.
Giant trees, small brooks and lit
tle springs and numerous glens add
to the attractiveness of the site.
It is here the V. F. W., looking
forward, hopes to see grow a village
of neat little homes, with well kept
gardens, a school for children and a
place for Sabbath worship. ‘‘A home
rather than an institution,” is the
way officers of the organization out
line the project. It is intended there
shall be work for those who can
j work, and comfort for those unable
' to labor.
World Aviators May Visit
the United States In 1927
WASHINGTON, Apr. 8.—(AP).—
A monster air exposition, attended
by prominent world airmen, will be
held in the United States in 1927, if
the present program of the National
Aeronautic Association materializes.
This association is the American
representative of the international
organization, which holds its conven
tion this year at Prague, September
19 28. Next year the aviators prob
ably will meet at Bucharest, and a
move is already afoot to have the
1927 convention held in Washington.
Twenty-six countries are affiliated
with the international federation, in
cluding many of the South American
republics. About 100 leaders in
aviation usually attend its conven
tions. Previous gatherings of tin
federation have been held at Paris
London, Madrid, Rome, Munich, Zu
rich, Vienna and Stockholm.
Thomas R. Riggs, former governoi
of Alaska has taken exception to the
press statement that George A. Parks
is the only Alaska to be named gov
ernor. He calls attention to the facl
I that John G. Brady and J. F. A. Strong
were real sourdoughs when they be
came governor and that he had a Ions
time residence in Alaska before bein£
appointed.
Scotty Taylor, a pioneer of Fair
! banks where he was a members o:
the Pioneers of Alaska, passed awaj
■ recently. He was buried under tin
j auspices of the Pioneers of Alaska.
