B'NAIB'RITHTO SPONSOR LOCAL AMATEUR NIGHT

First Meeting of Season to Be Held Next Monday*

Rosh Hashonah . . . an oasis of faith in the desert of life is a tiirie for replenishing the springs of hope and spiritual regeneration. The new year is symbolic of the deathlessness of Israel . . . During an era when the deepest night of inhumanity beclouds a bewildered world, Jewry can gain fortitude and strength from her epical past

With the announcement that Dr. Louis Berg, well-known psyhologist, will be the speaker at the second Community Fornm ecture on December 9, the proram for the season is now comlete. The 1936-37 season of the Forum will open on November 18 when Gerald P. Nye, senator from North Dakota, speaks on the Munitions Racket."

Israel, destined to outlive the centuries, stands-at the graveside of her traducers and persecutors- Neither slaughter nor torture continuing over thousands of years could destoy her; neither fire nor sword nor inquisition was able to wipe this inspiring people from the face of the earth. Nations rose and vanished, empires flourished and decayed, revolutions raged and quieted . . . yet Israel persisted, growing from strength to strength. . . On Rosh Hashonah 5697, this history of yesteryear is die wellspring of our inspiration for the morrow. During the new year and the years to come, the Jewish people . . . everlasting as is eternity itself... can be depended upon to hold aloft the torch of enlightenment in a time of deep darkness, illuminating the path to social justice and peace and understanding among mankind.

It was Senator Nye's investigation of the munitions manufacturers that was in a large measure responsible for the current neurality legislation. The findings of his committee led to a similar nvestigation in Great Britain. Dr. Berg will be the second speaker. He came into prominence several years ago when he instiuted an inquiry of conditions of Welfare Island, New York. On January 13, Sherwood Eddy, outstanding as a student of Far Eastern affairs, will be speaker. Dr. Eddy is widely traveled, having for many years been a resident of the Orient. He counts among his close friends the outstanding political leaders of the Far East. Recently he visited in Germany and has the past few weeks been writing and lecturing on what he saw there. Prof. Paul Douglas of the department of economics at the University of Chicago will be the fourth speaker. Professor Douglas' subject has not yet been chosen. He has for many years been in the midst of the fight for social security legislation and is the author of several books on the subject. Last winter he was in Italy making an intensive study of Italian Fascism at the time Italy was preparing for the conquest of Ethiopia. The final lecture of the series given .on March 16 when

Yehudi Menuhin is the last of the long line of "ghetto geniuses" •who have carved niches for themselves in the gallery of musical fame. The conditions that led to the development of the Elmans, Helfetzes, Zimbalists and others of the great Jewish musical dyn7 asty have changed and a great Jewish era in music is, perhaps, passing from the scene. ] So, at any rate, thinks Mischel Cherniavsky, the famed cellist, who played before Czar Nicholas II, at the tender age of 7 and has engaged in more than 2,300 concerts in all par Is: of the world since that day. • The combination of persecution, suffering and sacrifice which made up the ghetto background of the Jewish musical genius no longer exists in the same proportions, Cherniavsky explains, and the forces which served to mold ' the artists' character don't function in the same way now. Iiife Too Easy. "What chance has the young Jew now?" he asks. "He can't know what it is to drag a fiddle as big as he is into the woods where he has to sleep because he is a Jew and must hide? His father can't sacrifice for him as in the old Russian days. He doesn't work and starve and suffer till his music is part, of :• him, till he himself has lived the entire tragedy of the Jews." "No," he answered his own question. "The young Jew hasn't this advantage. Life is so much easier for him. Take my son. (Cherniavsky has four sons of whom he is inordinately proud.) He's a bright, talented boy, a fine student, but he hasn't the chance I had. He doesn't have to. struggle, to work to suffer. I'm glad of that—but such conditions do not make for musical geniuses." Cherniavsky is going to Palestine next March for a three weeks' concert tour. It will be his first trip to Palestine and he is quite excited about it. Hubermau and Elm an have sung the fame of PaU estine audiences far and: wide. "Musicians tell each other," he explained. "In Palestine you get enthusiastic, appreciative audiences. Every musician wants audiences like that. It's a joy to play to them." _ . Knows Jewish Audiences. , Cherniavsky has had experience with audiences—particularly the Jewish: Forty-two years old now, he has been playing for them since the age of 6, in about every country of Europe and on five continents. . . "With his brothers, Jan and Leo, he formed a celebrated trio that visited all parts of the world and brought music to the very outskirts of civilization. He vividly recalls travels by stage-coach in

As each year rolls by, mankind records new achievements in behalf of social, economic, and intellectual advancement. This continues only because thecreative forces of the community exert dynamic energy in such a direction. Nothing comes of languor and indolence. It is not those who sail and drift aimlessly but those who harness brain and brawn to whom human progress is doe. As another year moves on, we may look confidently for the Jewish element of the community to continue its notable achievements in manning the wheels of progress. The pendulum of progress may sway temporarily backward but its base •continues, to'.press forward. With the ingenious and creative forces of the community stirring continuously, its future greatness is assured.

rant By PIERRE VAN PAASSEN While this article of course represents only the individual : opinion of the author, and while his rather harsh judgment . of German': Jewry jnay arouse considerable disagreement, there ' Is no doubt tnat the point of view or this unquestionably liberal non-Jew must be taken seriously. A serious student of the Jewish problem, Mr. Van Paassen here gives proof that; In spite of some of his recent criticisms of Zionist policy he still regards JPalesttae as the most logical solution of the Jewish question. —THE EDITOR. The surpassing, merit of Zionism consists In having foreseen as long as naif a century ago the sad evolution Jewish life was to take In the Diaspora, and never to have ceased warning the Jewish people against the "puerile" theories of those whose mentality - - certainly not their superior culture or their racial antecedents colloquially causes them to be classified as German Jews. These so-called German Jews, •whose chief concern was (and remains, It seems In so far America Is concerned) a nervous flight •from anything that might be construed as a positive Jewish "Weltanschauung," including a repudiation of the right to proper folkways for the Jewish people in the Galsthlands, stand revealed today, by events in their spiritual fatherland Germany, in a moral nakedness more distressing to the onlooker'than the abject material and social circumstances Into which Hitler has thrown the erstwhile "Buerger des mosaischon Glaubens" in the Third Realm. AB a frequent visitor to Germany in the past, I was always struck with the amazing ignorance on the part of the average modern young Jew with regard to his own people's cultural heritage, the" Jewish way of life, Israel's aspirations and even, most curious in Mosaic believers, with regard to . the most .elementary details of the Jewish religious cult. When Stretcher and Zu Reventlow 'and ^he other anti-Semites began' their agitation against the Jews under the far-too-tolerant Weimar Republic It almost looked'like a contest in ignorance on Judaism and things Jewish between" the Nazi propagandists/ and the Jews themselves. The young Jews simply did not-know what-to;.answer to the allegations and accusations which the Helldorfs, the Rosenbergs and Goebbels hurled Indiscriminately against all the members of the Jewish race.

May the sun of a redeemed and a repent world again shine upon him so that the darkness that has lain upon his heart and upon his life for so many years may be lifted and dispelled, the clouds of hate and injustice and suffering roll away, and Israel again rejoice in his God who is his true Saviour, and the real Saviour of the world.

May the New Year bring joy to every believing soul so that it may be, indeed, "a happy New Year,".the precursor of many, happy, blessed-years to come,-for Israel and all humanity.

Hamlet still stands today as Shakespeare created him — still glamorous, strangely appealing, and perhaps the most intensely human character in our literature. "Vaciilating", "unstable", mcapable of making decisions"— these are a few of the criticisms hurled through the ages at the pathetic Prince of Denmark all because the poor chap, even as you and I, did not always find it so easy to make up his mind. It is supposed to be so very simple, you see, to decide a major issue. Take us inn-keepers. No, don't take us — we've been 'taken' plenty during the last few years, although it looks now a little as if the darkest hour before dawn has passed, and we begin to see a glimmr of light. Humanly enough we want the improvement

to continue, so, turning on the loud speakers, and taking into our stride the "View-with-alarm" headlines, we try as best we may to think our way through, as did Hamlet, struggling with conflicting forces and almost lost in a maze of mmgled emotions. November this year means so much more than just checking over the boilers and looking up our coal contracts. Are our convictions clear cut and our course of action plain as we face this fail a national and local election? Do we flippantly take a crack at this or that candidate and then shove the issue aside as not being par.ticularly vital to us as a group or as individuals? Surely, it behooves us to view the situation seriously. We cannot afford merely to emphasize the mistakes made by the present order of

things—we must, in all fairness recount, with a sense of gratitude those achievements which certainly have had a salutary effect upon certain phases of business, industry and every day living. What's the answer to these questions? Do you know? Does anybody? Hamlet's problem was not one of party loyalty—political issues—grasshoppers, gold standards, tornadoes or taxes. But he isn't such a lonely figure, any more, as he walks up and down pondering the question of whatto-do. Millions of us—as November portentously approaches— will share his famous soliloquy and wonder: "Whether 'tis better to bear the ills we have, Than fly to others we know not of."

each child had hoed the ground all around the trees he had planted, had patted the fresh green branches and had once again called the trees by the names they had been given when planted— names of the tribes of Israel, of prophets, poets, heroes and the great saints of the world. Now each child pictures to himself the slain trees lying one against the other on the moist black earth like corpses on a battlefield. How dreadful it was! Human beings

' By ARI IBN-ZAHAV Tlu-oughont the nation, Jewish communities are now engaged In a drive, launched by the Jewish National Fund, to raise funds for the planting of 100 thousand new trees in Palestine. These trees are to take the place of those destroyed by Arab terrorists. Tills article, written by an eye-witness, por-' trays in a poetic and vivid manner, the events which have stirred the soul of the sturdy pioneers in the Emek. "Tomorrow wo trill go and plant new trees! Tomorrow:" were the words passed at a unique assembly; a memorial service for the Fallen Trees*—-/THE EDITOR.

During the break the little ones would crowd around one of the bigger boys who saw the paper at home and-he would tell them what had been happening. Near Herzlla they had destroyed thou! sands of fruit trees; at Beer Jacob two hundred trees had been uprooted; three thousand trees had been burnt and cut down In the Balfour forest; the threshing floor with everything that was on it had been set alight at Mishmar Haemek. And the shocked [children would return to their [class without any more heart for their lessons.

mothers and big sisters; their fathers and older brothers were out in the fields, and the children saw them but seldom. And in the aft-

ernoons they would gather toe gether in little groups and gravely converse of the sacrifices of man and tree, their little hearts overflowing • with grief and pain. It was a very sad morning Indeed when the heavens wept. At home the grown-ups were white in the face and every now and again half-suppressed sighs would escape them. "What has happened?" asked the children. "'Nothing at all," they were told, and that was all that could be learned from their parents. But when they looked out of the windows at school they saw policemen, with dogs sniffing at the ground; and they stood at the window staring. Something must have happened after all. "Yes." the teacher thought it best to tell them, "something did happen. They destroyed a lot of trees during the night, but not in our district."' The children grew frightened as they thought of the danger in which their fathers and brothers found themselves, and one of them burst out crying, "Daddy, daddy!" The teacher felt his blood go cold. Who knows, he thought, whether the father of this tiny tot hasn't just fallen from a murderous bullet. And the lessons ended early that day.

can defend themselves and have legs with which to run, but the trees are fixed In the ground and are as helpless as the babes In their cradles in the Children's Home—and they had fallen. In spite of al their utility they were thought to have no right of existence! Life was intended not for them but for thorns and thistles and savages. The children were astonished, ashamed and badly hurt, but there was no despair among them. Jewish children are the descendants of those who came forth from Egypt and went up. from Babylon; they count back to Ezra, Nahemiah and Zerubabel, to the victims of the Inquisition and to the Bilu, the first pioneers in Palestine; the blood of a peotrained to patience and full of hope and faith flows through their veins. At four that afternoon, when the policemen returned with their dogs and one of the watchmen came to the ruined grove, they stood stock-still in amazement. Two tiny bodies lay outstretched on the ground. The watchman dashed over to them in sudden terror; at the sound of his feet and to his great relief they raised their heads. "The children are all right!"-he joyfully cried to the policemen. "There is nothing wrong!" Looking down at the children again, his heart all but stopped and his eyes filled with tears. They were each lying on a tiny little mound, from which protruded the end of a branch. The policeman approached and In a choking voice the watchman said to them, "They have buried the fallen trees." The two policemen, natives of distant Scotland, exchanged, glances of commiseration and nodded their heads In sorrow. Then they patted the heads of the two weeping children, picked them up and brought them home.

How did the evil tidings reach the children? In the afternoon they congregated in the school grounds; and all of them knew that a watchman had been wounded and four hundred trees uprooted—the entire grove which had been planted by the children themselves. For them it was as though the very skies had fallen. Their grove of pines no longer existed! Three years ago on the fifteenth day of Shevat (Arbor day) Next morning all the children the school children had planted of the school knew that Benjamin the first hundred saplings, and and Avigdor had dug graves for year after year they had added their trees.

As the ageless wheel of destiny slowly turns through the centuries of time, Rosh Hashonah completes a cycle . . . merging the traditions of yesterday with the hopes of tomorrow. In Jewish history, Moses lives eternally as the master builder, an inspiration io Jewish hope, faith and fortitude. When he lit the torch of freedom by rescuing his people hem bondage, he made the human element paramount. Unlike the Egyptian taskmakers lie bui:t human pyramids, carved human obelisks. The heart and soul replaced stone anil sand, ss he made a poor shepherd family into a great, eternal people of God, destined to outlive the years. The pattern of life created by Moses has guided the Jewish people. The gncita's plague, the garb of disgrace, the badge of shame, the branding tool, the bloody whip . . . these failed to deter Israel from her spiritual heritage. In spite of the woe and misery such as have fallen to the lot of no other people, Israel has found the strength to live and hope . . . never despairing, always believing. In this season of renewed faith, let us learn from the rich experience of our past . . . teaching us that though our enemies could torture the body, they could not crush the soul. With the faith of a Moses and the inspiration of a Mount Sinai, we march through the wilderness of chaos toward the milk and honey of the future's Canaan.

The year 5697 plants new hope in the hearts of mankind. It is our sinceirest wish t h a t your cup of happiness fills to overf l o w i n g in the twelvemonth ahead* brimming over with health, happiness and prosperity for all.

He who plants a seed, plants a hope . . . a hope which cannot be harvested immediately but which, nourished by time, will produce a bountiful crop. The man with vision looks toward the morrow, when he plants the seed of future security through life insurance. His hope is sown in fertile s o i l . . . the assurance of material comfort in old age or protection for loved ones, The operation of a large life insurance company like the Service life entails a responsibility, 'an allegiance to the public trust upon which the ideal of insurance is founded. The welfare of our many policy-holders 'has characterized the hope, the desire, the force behind each forward step taken by our company . . .for we, too, have planted a seed - - - the hope of serving and protecting more and more families and by sensible insurance planning, reducing the anxieties of their future and promoting happier living.

[patient experimenting before the IS "makeups" were finally agreed upon. Paul Muni was bora of Jewish parents in - Austria. They were strolling: • players. Before he was 5 years old,: he had traveled with them through the principal countries of Europe. Though he was not allowed to act when a child, his father having other plans for his future, the boy absorbed everything pertaining to the.stage. His real name is Muni Weisenfreund. He. is 39 -years of age. He came with his parents to America when he-was- 7 years old. They, remained in New York and enrolled Paul, in the . public schools, where he quickly learned to' speak enough English to act as their -interpreter: and teacher. , The wanderers took to the-road I" again, and settled . in..

Muni - first appeared on the stage when'he "was. in the second year of high school. _One. of_ the actors had-departed suddenly. His parpnts .had * no money to hire another. .Paul took his place.

be concerned with the spare time of the unattached professional or business woman whose leisure hours are only too few for the things she would like to do. We are here concerned with the Jewish middle-class home-maker or housewife who is not engaged in any gainful occupation or who does .not assist her , husband in his business or professional activities. She is the woman whose age lies between the thirties and fifties, with children and family responsibilities. The middle-class Jewish housewife or home-maker attends to the routine duties of her household, seeks to beautify her home and make it more comfortable, or she may be in the fortunate position of having household assistants to do these things for her. Kesults Xot Satisfying There can be no objection to these activities of the middleclass housewife in seeking to beautify her home. Unfortunately, however, the results of her efforts are frequently anything but satisfying. If we could teach the average middle-class woman the simple rudiments of homemaking and give her a sense of

aesthetics and good taste, we j sometimes mad, adventures.

She plays bridge, goes to the movies, shops or goes bargainhunting, visits, or engages in a few other similar social amenities. ' She is to a great extent a slave to commercialized recreation.

and absorption, not food for reflection. This middle-class woman to whom I refer refuses to face the problems of a changing world. There are threats of another war, attacks on our democratic institutions, an increasing growth of Fascist philosophy and propaganda, an unemployed group of more than ten million men and women, out of work through no fault of their own, and other manifestations of a badly disordered social system. During the World- War this woman found many things to do. She was caught by the glamour and the adventure of war. She was enveloped in" the mass propaganda and hysteria. She sacrificed time, energy, funds, opportunities for a personal life, for what she believed was a consecrated cause. Certainly, this is just as challenging a period, and this woman, we* insist, handicaps the plans for building a better world because she has not discerned the significance of the fruitful use of leisure time. She frequently becomes involved in all kinds of unprofitable, sometimes sad and

In the light of the new psychology of international conflict and distrust and false economic theories built on force and suppression, ' the efforts of the Jew in any field are interpreted as sinister deeds in a diabolical plot spun by the Elders of Zion. The delirious state of the nations of the world, and the desyerate reversion to mob action of their people, are quite clearly di.•ect consequences of the economic debacle and the want and juffering that followed in its .rake. For it is much more con.•enient to maintain and cover up v destitute economic system by reorting-to prejudice, violence, and :raud, than to overhaul it comiletely in an effort to repair it.

FRANCE'S IMITATOR

We are all familiar, in terms of statistics^ •with, the problem of the German;professional who was forced out of his life-work by the cruelties of the Hitler regime. And, although we can imagine the problems involved, we seldom encounter such personal testiment as that written by Dr. Bremer, a young German-Jewish lawyer, who chose to be a farmer^ With the aid of training in an ORT colony, Dr..Bremer is now quailtied agriculturist. Ha tells the story, of his life, of his great decision and his present happiness in the following human document. EDITOR Even a few years ago, the lawyer who wrote this article might havo regarded with suspicion as not quite a normal man. For how can one be content, after having spent his adolescent years in college and university and having struggled through the early years of a professional career, suddenly to throw everything over and begin anew? How can such a man follow a plow or. a threshing : - 1 chine in the heat of the long Summer day?

hadito'.do all the; work of a regular farm^laborer. We plowed the seed; and all;this without a word of instruction'irom anybody as to the reason for this or that part ai. the worfeii We felt the need 6t an agricultural' expert' to direct the work.and-' give-ua some word of explanation'as to the purpose o£ our difficult work. Still, those hardships had their benefits. I learned two things from the peasant: to do any work that was given me without question, and to take orders from a person on a much lower intellectual plane. The former "Attorney at Law" was fast becoming an obedient servant. I lived through a spiritual crisis. And finally, the lack of some instruction and intelligent direction in the work force! U3 to leave the peasant's employ. Then, through the German ORT, we were placed in the Agricultural Colony of the ORT of Lithuania. Our admission, to Tie ORT Agricultural Colony meant a great advance to my wife and myself. We began to feel like human beings again. I :became. convinced that farming -canrbe learned under hygienic',v and - quite human conditions. The ;, intensive scientific agricultural' coures given in this colony gave - us back that spiritual joy cf working intelligently, for a definite purpose. Here too the practical work was far from easy; "but because everything here was done in accordance with, a plan, and led to a definite goal—and. because one

next lounge and loaf without doing anything at all. The worker of the' soil, must perform rvery duty, regardless of whether it is hard, or'easy, wheter it is interesting or boring, and he must do it without passion or excitement, when the work needs doing. I believe that after living and working on a farm for one year, I have earner the right to say that I have' become a farmer. In former years I never hoped to rid myself completely from my chronic headaches. But working on the soil, and living the normal life It forces one to live, have accomplished that wonder. Even that typical scholar's disease— a heart neurosis— of which doctors h a d already discovered symptoms in me, has entirely disappeared. I have learned that one can live contentedly without beautiful clothe? and silk underwear, and without theatres, movies or cafes. And one can sleep soundly not only under down quilts but even on a plain straw mattress. Normal physical exertion is the most wonderful remedy against insomnia.

The WHERE TRUE LIVESTOCK VALUES ARE ESTABLISHED Fifty-two years ago the Union Stock Yards Company was begun as a feeding-in-transit yards where cattle enroute to the east were fed and rested. Nebraska was in the making. The virgin soil of this coming agriculture empire was dotted with sod houses and frame shacks. All of us were pioneers. The men who pioneered in organizing a stock• yard in the heart of a region whose soil was as rich as the Valley of the Nile, builded better than they knew. They looked beyond the race accoutrements of a fron. tier, gazed into the future and saw a civilization bnilded upon the livestock industry. A market place was established where buyers and sellers meet. The grassy expanse of the prairies are now fertile farms. Modem homes have replaced the sod houses. Electric lights glow in place of the kerosene lamp. Autos whirl down gravelled highways^ where once the buckboard moved slowly over prairie trails. The message of the orator and the music of the Grand Opera are brought to the remotest farm or ranch home through the marvels of radio. Inventive skill End genius arc helping.to shrink a continent. Thinking men on the faraas today are practicing diversification. Their money returns come from the sale of beef and pork and mutton and. wool brain and brawn co-operate in 'the -intricate problems of breeding and feeding. Boy's and girl's 4-H clubs are helped to make master stockmen. Father and son, partnerships tell the story of interest in the business of livestock production. The Union Stock Yards Company lias played its part in this new development of agriculture. Twentyfour hours a day the facilities of its plant are available to the livestock producer. Here, the ranches of the West are linked with the com belt feedlois and the consuming centers of the East. Service every step of the way in 52 years of progress—that tells the story. We invite you to ship your livestock to South Omaha.

The editorial criticized the "discrepancy" between the policy expressed by the government be- j fore Parliament and that "appar-j ently pursued" in Palestine. | I t pojnied out that Parliament may soon have to declaro whether it stands for the espreF^cd policy of a Jewish National homo in Palestine or if it is without any constructive plan for reconciling c* 1 -^l'abs and Jews.

"I am at a loss to conceive what part of my conduct could have given encouragement to an address which to me seems big with the greatest mischiefs that could befall any country . . Let me conjure you . . . if you have any regard for your country, concern for yourself or posterity, or respect for me, to banish these thoughts from mind and never communicate, as from yourself or any one else, a sentiment of the like nature." Many of our modern would-bo dictators would do well to read and ponder these words for they show how deeply stirred Washington, was by a threat to constitutional republicanism and how vigorously he opposed ony ir.ovement that would destroy American liberties. Less than: a yea; later Washington again scotched a scheme for a HiiliWy coup d'etat in which .'Svthe army would "turn their arms 5ipoa the country," "surprise tlie people into' greater happinecs, without giving them an opportunity to view it or reject it,' 'and "turn Congress out of doors."

Highland Country Club was organized on December 4, 1922, with about twenty-five members. The originator of the idea of a Jewish Country Club in Omaha was Ed. Trailer who served as first president of the club and continued in that capacity until 192G. The Club has occupied its present location at. 125th and Pacific streets since 1924 at which time the.- nine-hole golf course and club house were built. Among the club's numerous activities were: the annual Highland Fling, which this year- was the biggest in the club's history with over sis hundred persons attending; a Style show and musical revue held on August 22 at which' the' younger set modeled gowns furnished by merchant members o£ the Club; and the annual Golf Tournament which was won by Abe.

On Decoration Day the Club sponsored a golf match between a team picked from its own membership and a team sponsored by the Iowa Jewish News of Des Moines. William E. Schuchart has been the professional at the Club for the past two years. He ia the only professional in this district to qualify for the National Open. He also holds the record on the Hap-

-LiveConey -Island j

It was the 20th day of May ID35 when my wife, a blessing on her head, said to me: "Bennie, you know' -what? Let us go to Coney Isiand today. The excitement, the attractions, the boardwalk, the beach itself will put uew life into us. Being in the same place all the time, in the same house; to look all the time at the same furniture, at the same husband'and take care of the same children, to hear the same noise and arguments — all these get you sick and nervous, and 'life becomes monotonous,' a they say in higher circles. I've made up my mind to spend the -whole ol today in pleasure. We will leave the children with'1 moth or; she w i l l take good care o them, 1 am sure." .--.•After listening to my wife'.s.de '•"•^claration, I said to her: "My dear I am ready to go -with you, bu you must take along something good to eat." •.-. II y wife was pleased with my ..answer; she hugged me, kissed me on my forehead and. said • "Now I must admit that the Gal itzianers are the best husbands. £ ; It did not take very long befor< my wife made trmgue sandwiches bought bananas and off we wen to Coney Island. It is needless t say that We could not find a sea in the whole train, neither could we secure for ourselves a strap to. put our fingers on. We were glad! to be able to stand on our f e e t ' - When the train stopped at a sta.' tion, we were all thrown into a heap, and shaken up, as well. In one of these overthrowings my wife fell upon a bearded Jew who began to yell: "Missis, get off my • corns or I'll faint in a minute." Somehow we reached the Island —I-mean: the noise, the tumult, the hustel-bustle, the jazz, the pop-corns and "hot-dogs." A freak that the world has never seen . before. Come in and -wonder at a man with two heads. Both heads live, talk, smoke, laugh, cry and . sigh. The ma:i with the two heads is a Jew! Admission onlyj 10 cents." Having read the sign 1 said to . my wife: ''Let us go in and see the Jew with the two heads. It is really -worth while seeing it. We all know that the Jews, these! days, go around. Tvithoutr." heads! -altogether, and here they show a! Jew with two heads, and only TO j cents to;' see it cheap, -very cheap -—&• nickel a head."- We entered the place and at the same time several hundred more people got in, the majority of whom'.were. Jews, of. course. And they-showed-us the -wonder. The two-headed;-Jew-bore a little! sign on his neck. The inscription on the sign "was as • follows: "I am a Jew and my name is Jonah Lapidua." " '. " I examined Jonah Lapidus from all sides: from top to bottom, from front,to hack, and I saw that Jonah Lapidns- was not one but two Jonahs, and for all I knew one's name might have really Jonah and the other one's name! Menashe or Isaac. The only thing! that made both of them one was! the broad cloak "with wide sleeves,' with' which they were both "wrapped around, and which'was made especially for them. If one'did not care to scrutinize the wonder, it made an appearance of a person with two heads;; but if one cared to examine iti closely, he could see as plainlyJ as daylight that it was a fake,, at fraud; that they were two separ-j ate persons and it might havej been one was a. Litvak and thej other one a Galitzianer, because! one head greeted me with "Solem-j Aleichem," -whereas the other j head whispered.like a Galitzianer"Sholetn-Aleichem." : The announcer, who delivered1, a lecture about this wonder, saidj as follows: "Ladies and gentle-j men "\The two-heeded person is a Jew and the only one of his kind in the world. In .'Germany, Prance, England, they p;vid us $G| to sue'< his wonder, but here in I the United States we ask only 10 i cents admission, because times! are very bad here." The whole show and set-«p:di<l not suit- me at • all. "Why I'ool so many people in. broad daylight?" I thought to myself: and 1 was ready to, expose.the whole thing.

The basements of these tenements, which we in America would consider unfit as the abode of cats or dogs, are used as stores and also as dwellings. In these cellar holes, you will find a cobbler cutting his leather or repairing the sole or the heel of a shoe. You will find" a tailor sewing patches on an old pair of trousers, which I thought never could be used again. These very workchops were also used as living rooms and bedrooms. Coming out of one of the courtyards near the open market place where hundreds of Jews were selling and buying things to wear, which we would be ashamed to give to the Salvation Army, I stumbled onto a man who was telling the woeful news of the inornins to his wife, who had brought him his noon meal, if cuch. we can call it. My attention was attracted by the wail and sad tone of his voice. The complainant was a coal vender. Hisj establishment consisted of a hole in the cellar and about five hundred pounds of coal and a scale. That morning tho tax collector; came and made an appraisal of the coal and the scale and left him a statement ' demanding the quarterly payment o£ 1 can't recall the exact number of zlotys. It was evident from the discussion with his v<-ife that the sum was more than he could muster up. "I guess the government will levy this scale as it did tho last one and we will have to run to Moishe to weigh every few pounds of coal we shall soil," T.vaa hex" stoic, retort and as Flie said that her eyes. moistened und tear3 began to trickle down her cheeks.

If the ta:: impositions of the government bear heavily upon small merchants, they threaten to crush those commercial and industrial enterprises to which the Jews have bec-n drawn. In. studying the activities of the government in thi3 sphere, I became more convinced that its objective is tiie economic starvation and strangulation of Polish Jewry. Poland is vehemently opisonod to comraunlara and socialise and yet it has been appropriating to itself economic activities and" businesses which have alw=.ya been considered tho province of private effort except, un- der socialistic and communistic governments. The government is out to inonopoll=3 those activities ::iid enterprises -.\ith which JuVB liiive beer, und v..o a^oci<tteu.
