HING FERDINAND LIKELY 70 RETIRE Paris Report Says Carol May Be Recalled Paris, Jan. 24 (M—The abdication of King Ferdinand of Rumania % ¢ the assumption of regal powers by his errant son, Prince Carol, are possibilities looked ‘for in the next few weeks by Rumanian circles in Paris. Vit That the .dynastic crisis, which has paralyzed. the - political -life of the country for a year .is- on the ave of a solution appears: to be less and less in:. doubt. -For several months Ferdinand has shown will- ingness to disregard the action of Carol in renouncing his rights as successor to.the throne, but he has been thwarted' in efforts to call Carol home by. certain . influential advisers of the government, chiefly former Premier Bratiano. How re- liable reports reaching here are that the king, desirous.of proceed- ‘There are: no illustrations :but -the word pictures are vivid. ey “With ‘the Riff Kabyles” by Bern-.| ard Terhorst is a new book which | gives personal observatiors on the | manners--and customs of these | strange people.

The indieations have been that she will return immediately to Rumania. At Your Library old winter days and snow bring loughts of warmer climates, and ny people are feeling the lure of travel. With this idea in mind we have brought together a group of books which it is hoped will be of interest to the actual tourist and also to those who must get their travel through reading by their own fire- side. During the winter and early spring months, one of the most interesting countries in the world to visit is Egypt, and the bobks which the li- brary has on that country are very alluring. 7 One of the first to turn to is “The Spell of Egypt” by Archie Bell, pop- ular In its subject matter, but use- tul to the person who wants general information regarding the every day life of the country. Tt is profusely illustrated, and these pictures jn color have rare charm. No trip to Egypt is complete with: out a journey to Luxor, which can be accomplished by night on the train or by the more delightful river steamer which requires a time. . “Luxor and Its Temples” by A. M. Blackman is a recent work of special interest, including much his- tory, making the personalities of the longer ancient kings and queens live again The volumes of the Hebrew library | in its pages. The pencil drawings by Major Benton Fletcher are re-! markably successful in showing the ‘architecture and spirit of the tem- ples, With the mention of Luxor ong’s mind instantly reverts to the famous tombs, and turns particularly to that of Tut-Ankh-Amen, who has lately come so much into prominence. “The Tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen,” by | Howard Carter and A. C. Macs gives a vivid description of its dis- covery and of the great treasures found within. The illustrations give a remarkably clear impression of the beauty of workmanship of many of | the articles. “A Century of Excavation in the Land of the Pharaohs,” by the au- thority James Baikie, carries us still further among the treasures of tombs and temples. Tt gives inter- esting information on the Pyramids and their explorers, and a very- en-| lightening chapter on life, arts and crafts in the land of the Nile. Here again excellent {llustrations greatly enhance the interest of the book and {llumine our own mental pic- tures. Within the last few years north- orn Africa has been much exploited for tourists with the result that an over increasing number of people are | jcurneying to the land of “sand, ruins and gold” as characterized by Swinburne. Motor bus trips take the traveler far off the beaten track with unusual opportunities for ob- .€erving strange customs of the na- ! tives, “Studies in North Africa.” by Cyril Grant is an excellent volume which rives the historical background of the noted region and the illustra- tions portray the famous Roman re- mains which are scattered over the country. “North Africa and the Desert,” by E. Woodberry, is a particu- '|is divided as follofs | commending position which Amerl- | {can Jewry occupies in the rebuild-| ing of the Jewish homeland,” Judge | | Lewis declared in a statement. “At| least two-thirds of the money raised | | for Palestine during the five year| period, has been raised from among | vear the percentage of funds com- ing from this country has increased considerably, due to the economic depression in Poland. Referring to the item dealing | with agricultural colonization which | received the largest allocation in the Palestine budget, .Judge Lewis declared “that a number of agricul- {tural settlements have doubled | during the past five years, number- ing more than 100 today.” The agricultural Jewish population has increased to 32,000 during this period, this number forming twenty per cent of the entire Jewlsh popu- lation in: Palestine.

All of thé money he had in his pockets at the time was 50 cents and this was untouched. The motive for the assault could not be learned.
