JERUSALEM, Nov. 17-(IP)-Mos-
1em eyes will be turned upon this
religious capital next month when
rul:rs of Mohammedan states from
4frica and Asia are to assemble l
and consider re-establishment of
the Ottoman caliphate.
Followers of the prophet to the
number of 225,000,000 will either
pray for or look askance upon this
gathering.
Many of the suspicious glances
are likely to come from below the
southeastern horizon of Palestine.

World War Echoes.
In his territory are the sacred,
cities of Mecca and Medina and
chief among his supporters are the
Wahibis, puritanical Moslems who
never did like the idea of being
under the spiritual or temporal rule
of thie Ottoman Turks.
Their suspicions of the December
conference rest upon the fact that,
Abdul Medjid, cousin of the last
sultan of Turkey, is the nominal
caliph.
When the tribes of Arabia, Syria,
Mesopotamia and Palestine heededa
"Lawrence of Arabia" and fought'
with the allies in the World war,I
lie of Turkey was proclaimed.
At that time Abdul Medjid was
named Caliph, his cousin Moham-
med having been exiled by Kemal.
But the caliphate was a languish-

Caliph Loses Treasures.
.The new republic separated
church from state, reduced the
privileges of the Mohammedan
priests, banished the dervishes and
finally, in 1924, requested Abdul
Medjid to move on.
He went toFrance and into re-
tirement, dependent upon the char-
ity of pious Mohammedan rulers.
The treasures of the caliphate,
hoarded for centuries in Turkey's
capital, became the property of the
new republic.

Police Arrest Local
Chain Store Robbers
Two men, both from D troit and
giving their names as John Jones
and Norries Hoffman, were arrest-
ed early yesterday morning by of-
ulcersrWier and Enhermann of the
city police as they were about to
break into a Kroger grocery store
on Broadway.
Examination of the men at the
police office revealed that they
had committed nine robberies of
Detroit chain stores in the past six
months. Cigarettes appeared to be
the chief object of theft, for they
confessed to having taken 40 car-
tons from a chain store on Oak-
man boulevard, 30 cartons from an-
other on Grand River, and 50 car-
tons from a third on Michigan ave-
nue, as well as change from them
cash registers in each store.
The men were to be turned over
to Detroit authorities for investi-
gation concerning the offenses.
prefers that isolation from the pub-
lic gaze which is becoming in a
man engaged in the pursuit of
truth.
He has, of course, very definite
independent viewpoints on many.
matters, both within and outside
the realm of science, but he never
assumes to speak with authority
and would therefore give the im-
pression that he has no opinions.
This is more than counteracted by
the fact that he is full of human
interest. His eyes fairly twinkle, as
he tells of that admirable quality
of all American boys Who love to
tinker with mechanical contrivan-
ces and discover "what makes
things go."
He has the quick step, the kind-
ly smile, and the clean-cut featuresl
of a young man who has yet to faceI
the problems of the world. He con-
verses with the air of one who
"really doesn't know, but would
like very much to find out." And
yet this "young man" of 65 years
has been recognized by all the
world as having reached the top in
the field of organic chemistry.
Doctor Gomberg has never mar-
ried, and his purely sentimental
liking for young ladies has been the
occasion for much good-natured
jesting on the part of his closer
friends. He lives with his sister
Sonia, in a charming though simple
co>ttage, in a setting w hich exem-
pils the simple tastes of both the
Doctor and Miss Gomberg. Friends
remark concerning the gayety and
lack of formality which graces their.
everyday lives, as compared with
the public demureness for which
Doctor Gomberg is famous.
The Chemist ha an exceptional-
ly high idealism of science and
scholarship. The most remarkable
aspect of his career is probably th
fact that he has accomplished such
wonders in the field of research
while at the same time 'inspiring
numerous students to develop their
! scientific abilities.
His name is on a roster of men
who have contributed to the pro-
gress of chemistry in America dur-
ing the past century that has been
submitted to the National Research
Council for use in planning an his-
torical exhibit at the 1933 Chicag
World's Fair. It is to be expected
that when the plans for the roster
are executed the famous Chemis
will probably deny all knowledge o
just why he should be so honored
and his friends will wonder again
