Proclaim Alter- ed Rule of Travel 'There has been a drastic` change made in one of the long-standing cus- toms of the people of Portugal, . writes the Lisbon corresondent of "The Chris- tian Science Monitor." Up to the present England and Portugal were almost the only European countries whose rule of the road was to the left. Now a new decision has been taken, chiefly for the convenience of tourists motoring to enable them to continue to follow the rules adopted in the neighboring- countries, France ' and Spain, and now the password through- out all. Portugal, is "Keep . to - the right." At the time of the change Lisbon presented an unusual appearance, for during the night many hundreds of banners with these words printed in huge black letters had been swung up at every available place, and all traf- fice, which commented at 5 a.m., was running in a contrary direction. Dur- ing the night in Lisbon and Oporto the electric company men worked hard. at changing the points. As this was too great a task for one night, the day was marked by a number of derail- ments,- onne of them important, as the trams were running at reduced speed 'rhe morning witnessed scenes of great confusion, especially at the hour when people were going to business, as no one knew exactly where to take his tram o . even how to board it owning to the necessary change of hand in gripping the rail. Fun at Street Corner According to a statement spade by the engineer of the electric tram com- pany, the expense incurred by chang- ing all the points amounts to 700 eon- tos (about $30,000). Great help was afforded the auth- orities by the Lisbon branch of the .American Vacuum 011 Co., who, with the newspaper "Dario Nadas," offer- ed to snake hundreds of huge banners indicating the new orders, have them hung and affixed in all the towns and all the main roads of Portugal, shat ing the expense between thein. The Portuguese always are ready to.-get:a bitof fun out of anything that turns up, andso in Lisbon groups of face- tious idlers gathered from the first hours of the morning around the prin- cipal stopping places, bearing strips ofwhite canvas on their breasts and hats with the words "To tile Right" inscribed on them. These greeted mis- takes, fines and confusions with clap- ping and Iaughter. The polies, whose service was excellent, allowed these jovial people to amuse themselves, as their humor had at the same time the good effect of reminding people and vehicles of the hew order of things. Four -Footed Resistance The chief effects were :felt at the town offices and banks, where all the staff arrived about an hour later than. usual, and in the markets, 'where everything was in confusion. For al- though the two -legged. population do- cilely obeyed superior. orders, there was an obstinate four -footed -resist- ance to be faced. Horses, mules, don- keys and oxen,. bearing • their daily supplies of vegetables, fruit, flowers and other marketable articles to the markets, having' got into a habit of years to keep to: the left, proved as 10. sensible to their drivers' efforts to lead them to the right as they were to the orders of the printed banners and of the police,' Fines'' were showered on the unfortunate drivers and women with their donkeys, and the markets rang with profuse vituperation.' and laments when, very late in the day, the country people, their beasts and their wares tardily arrived there.

Rescue Device For Submarine Is Pull Success Navy Divers' Escape From Bell 160 Feet Below the Surface Proves "Lung" Further Tests Proposed Undersea d Fees Crew to Leave Ship at Lower • Depth's Washington, -Tho new submarine safety device, known in the navy' as "the lung," is very probably the means by which crews of imprisoned sub marines may be saved in future, a cording to a report made to the Navy Dept. by Lieut. C. B. Momsen, in charge . of teats conducted at depths ranging from 150 to 165 feet in Ches- apeake Bay-. The tests were aided by the U.S.S. Falcon, submarine •rescue I ship which came into prominence at Provincetown, Mass., the the attempt. 1 ed rescue of the crew of the 5.4. "The lung" weighs two pounds and looks like a gas mask. Lieut. Mom- sen's report explains that men were sent down in a bell to the depths men- tioned. He adds: Diving Bell Bears Men "The bell was lowered three times with two men in each time. One man was to effect escape, while the other's duty was to tend the bell, to telephone, and to return to the surface inside the bell. The three men who escaped using the 'lung' were Lieut. Moinsen, Chief Torpedoman Elben and Torpedo - mat! First Class Kalanowski, ' "The time of rise was 8 minutes and 35 seconds, 5 minutes 36 seconds and 4 minutes 11 seconds, Each man ascended rather rapidly from the 165 - feet depth to the fifty -foot depth, where the line was marked with a wooden 'ball. The line, with a buoy attached to it, had been previously passed out of the bell, and the buoy rose to the surface, giving the men something on whieh to slide on their ascent to the surface, The stops at the fifty -foot, forty foot, thirty-foot, twenty -foot and ten -foot intervals were timed by counting the number of breaths. Life Line Guides to Surface "All men tnaking their escape had attached to them a life line which the tender on the surface held, so that in case of an accident the inen would not be lost. Upon reaching the surface all men who had been exposed to pres- sure were placed in the decompression tank for eafety purposes, so as to in- sure them against caisson disease. None of the nten noticed any discom- fort in using the apparatus: "These tests eoneluded the series of tests which have been conducted for the purpose of proving whether or not the apparatus would function as it was designed—that is, for the purpose of permitting a man tb rise from the debits to the surface without injury. "Further tests, to determine whe- her or not men can flood conlpart- ments in submarines and get from he inside of the compartment to the utside, to surrounding water, will be onducted at a later time."—Froin the Herald Tribune Washington Bureau.

There are yet other proofs from a far earlier age in the rock -carvings or ruins called "Itelleristninger, " dating away back to an age not.less remote than 600. years B.C. These carvings represent ships, some of them being quaint represen- tatlons of sea -lights, the boats being somewhat similar in appearance to those used by the Vikings of the ninth and tenth centuries of our era. Rude as these rock -carvings are, they give us some idea of the kind of vessels employed in that very remote age; they represent long rowboats with very high carved prows or sternposts, and are steered not by a rudder be- hind, but by an oar at the side, and from this practice 'IS derived opt' word 1 "starboard", or "eteerboard," being the t right-hand side of the Vessel, • The Vikings used also a square sail,'t which could be hoisted when required, ° This they learnt Indirectly from the ° Romans" The traveller; among the fjords of.

In 1925 the Palestinian birth rate figure stood at 498 to every 10,000 in- habitants, while Egypt, known for its high birth rate and with a lower percentage of European population, only registered 428 births for the same year and the sante number of inhabi- tants, and even Russia with its popu- lous families had a birth rate of but 409. The Palestinign birth figure is al- most three times that of Sweden, which only averages 175 births to every 10,000 of the population, and is more than two and a half times that of its mandatory, Great Britain, with its'1.88 births to every 10,000 of the population. Moreover, the Palestin- ian birth rate is more than double that of the United States, which stands at 226 per 10;000 of the ecun- try's population. But even compared with Italy and Japan, both countries with a high birth rate, the Holy Laud retains its lead, No ie the high figure for 1925 ex- ceptional. The preceding year show- ed a birth rate of 513 per 10,000 of the population, a' figure that was even eclipsed in 1926, when it rose to 584. It was only in 1927 that there was a slight decline to 504 per 10,000. . Principally, it is the Moslem section of the population ,that is responsible for this high birth rate, which, in their case, reached the figure of 561 per 10,000 last• year, with the Chris - titin and Jewish sections following at a considerable interval with 339 and 351 births respectively to every10,900.
