There is an evil in Jewish social life
in America as relating to young folks
which furnishes more grist to the mill
of intermarriage than a great many
other agencies, says Rabbi Samuel
Rosinger in the Texas Jewish Herald.
We refer to the reprehensible habit
of the Jewish public to regard a
young man who calls on a girl with
any degree of regularity as being en-
gaged to her. Such unwarranted as-
sumption and imputation harms both
parties, especially the girl, whose po-
sition is affected by the least rumor,
and it tends to discourage social inter-
course in general. We do not know
what conditions have brought about
this seemless attitude, but the truth
is that Jewish boys who are not in a
position to marry keep aloof from
Jewish girls lest gossip force them in-
to a relationship which they may nei-
ther desire nor arc able to assume.
What play is for children social inter-
course is for young folks. It is a part
of their lives, and they should be giv-
en opportunities for meeting and min-
gling without the ulterior purpose of
marriage being thrust upon them at
the outset of their friendship.
Still, we can discover some cogent
reason for the over-zeal of friends
to hastily weave the meshes of mar-
riage around the young people. For
it happens, not infrequently, that no
sooner have young folks entered into
closer acquaintanceship than they
lose all interest in each other. Fa-
miliarity often breeds, if not con-
tempt, at any rate, indifference. And
this brings us to the consideration of
another phenomenon which tends to
increase intermarriage. Boys rarely
marry girls of their home tons
whom they have known from child-
hood and have grown up with in the
same social circle. They usually
marry out of town, which circum-
stance puts the girls, especially in
smaller towns, and of the middle
classes who are not given to much
traveling, to great disadvantage, as
no corresponding influx of young men
takes place to offset the boys who
marry from out of town. It is diffi-
DISTINGUISHED JEWISH DOC-
TOR HELPS IN GREAT DIS-
COVERY.
Dr. Meyer Solis Cohen Contributes
to Isolation of Dread Infantile
Paralysis Germ.
Philadelphia.—After a ceaseless ef-
fort, physicians of the Jewish hospi-
tal have discovered and isolated the
germ of infantile paralysis.
The three physicians who now make
public the discovery are Dr. Myer
Solis Cohen, specialist in children's
diseases; Professor John A. Kolmer,
of the University of Pennsylvania,
and Dr. George A. Heist.
It is said that the cure of the dis-
ease will soon be found as the result
of the discovery and isolation of the
germ. Contributions by Jules E.
Mastbaum made the research possi-
ble and investigations were conducted
in the Mastbaum research laboratory
of the Jewish hospital.
Rockefeller Institute, of New York,
discovered the germ in 1913, but the
recent research work in Philadelphia
marks a distinct advance over the
earlier effort, it is asserted. The com-
plete account of the new discoveries
will be contained in national medical
journals.
Infantile paralysis caused the de a th
of 6,000 children in the United States
in 1916. The disease was prevalent
in New York and other points in the
east sonic time ago.

cult to propose any practical measure
to remedy this unbalancing of the dis-
tribution of the Jewish male popula-
tion of marriageable age. The charms
of novelty and mystery which a
strpge girl possesses'have a very cap-
tivating effect upon young men. Yet
parental persuasion and education
will here also prove a powerful cor-
rective influence.
If there has been developed a com-
munity spirit of patronizing local
merchants instead of the mail order
houses, and the valid argument has
been driven home that a customer can
obtain concrete knowledge of the
home merchant's ware, but he has
only a photographic view of the mer-
chandise selected from the catalogue
that, in spite of profuse description, is
often deceptive and disappointing,.
how much more should a spirit of
marrying home-town girls be gener-
ated in the community in general,
and especially among the Jewish peo-
ple with whom, in addition to contrib-
uting to general happiness, it will also
reduce intermarriages. If parents
will impress upon their boys the tell-
ing fact that of all marriages dissolved
in our courts those founded on the
quicksand of love-at-first-sight are by
far in the majority, and that a home-
town girl whose family, ancestry, vir-
tues and .dispositions are an open
book is bound to make a better wife
than any Miss X hailing from Long
Distance, some boys will be open to
reason, and heed parental instrtiction.
Their number may be ever so small,
but in trying,to solve a religious prob-
lem of the magnitude of intermar-
riage, we can not expect to make big
strides , and record quick advances.
The corrective work, whatever its
nature may be, will be painstakingly
slow, yet in the long run it is bound
to tell and show its cumulative effect.
The larger the task to be handled,
the more should we heed the warning
of the sage when casting about for
the means wherewith to perform it:
"Esteem not lightly anything, for
there is not a thing that has not its
use in the proper place and at the
proper time."
