In making its initial how to the
Jewish community of Detroit, THE
JEWISH INSTITUTE NEWS
acknowledges a real indebtedness
to the publisher of the JEWISH
CHRONICLE. In giving to the
United Jewish Charities a cbannel
for the expression of its ;leas, lie
has provided the first medium in .1
campaign of education.
It is doubtful whether any or-
ganization in the entire city has
done more for our people than has
the Jewish Institute; and it is also
doubtful whether the work of any
society is less generally known or
understood. Working quietly, and
without blare of trumpet, this or-
ganization has done a gigantic
work.
Through these columns, from
time to time, the work and work-
ings of the United Jewish Chari-
ties will be explained to you.

A few months ago, we of De-
troit, startled the country by our
magnificent campaign for the Jew-
ish War Relief Fund. By going
over the top, and subscribing fifty
thousand dollars more than our an-
nounced quota, we stepped forth
into the limelight and command,:d
the note of the other cities of the
land, notably New York.
Now New York has turned the
tables on us. She has pointed 'the
way for our United Jewish Chari-
ties just as we pointed it for her in
the war relief campaign. Within a
few weeks she has increased the
number of subscribers to her
Charity Federation from 14,000 to
79,000, with a corresponding in-
crease in revenue.
Detroit's United Jewish Chari-
ties, during the past year, have
been supported by the contributions
of 626 individuals. What shall our
quoto be this year? Has Detroit
learned the lesson of New York?

WANTED!

From time to time, the United

Jewish Charities has occasion to
find jobs for worthy applicants. A
few of these cases are listed below.

If you are able to supply flue re•
quired position you will be render-
ing a distinct service to the apt Ii-

cant as well as to the organization.
Call up the employment depart-

ment, Main 3740.

WANTED—Job as porter or night
watchman; or any other kind of
light work for a few hours, each
(lay.

WANTED—By a woman of thirty,
work in a shop or as a domestic.

WANTED—By a boy thirteen

"Listen to me," said the bearded
stranger, hat in hand, as he seated
himself at the investigator's desk.
"I was born in Russia, and was
raised by a priest of the Russian
church. I always believed that I
was a Catholic, and in that faith I
married. My three children were
baptized in the Greek church.
"But a year ago as I was walk-
ing along the street in New York,
I met an aged acquaintance from
Minsk, and as we talked he told
me that I was not a Catholic at all.
but a Jew—that my parents had
died when I was six years (old and
that the priest had taken care to
keep this information from me.
"Then I knew that my sympathy
for all things Jewish was. natural.
I knew that it was the Jewish heart
that was beating within my breast.
I remembered, vaguely, the Jew-
ish customs of my early boyhood.
sent word to Minsk; I looked up
relatives. I convinced myself that
the story was true. Then, 1 adopt-
ed the faith of my fathers. My
wife, too, became a Jewess; and
my little children have come into
the fold."
"Well?" queried the worker.
"Now I'm up against it," contin-
ued the stranger. "I am out of a
job. My family is hungry, and so.
as a Jew, I appeal to you for help."
An investigation of the facts
stated by the beggared stranger has
revealed, oddly enough, that his
family has been duly taken into the
faith of Moses through the minis-
trations of an orthodox rabbi, and
further investigation will undoubt-
edly prove that instead Of a mere
mendicant seeking to benefit by
the superior philanthropy of the
Jews, lie is a worthy applicant.
This is one of the hundreds of in-
teresting cases that come to the
United Jewish Charities every day,
many requiring a vast amount of
investigation, as the organization
aims to relieve no unworthy cases.

Few mysteries that lied their
way into the newspapers are as
gripping, and as lull of pathos and
of possibilities as the mysterious
appearance and disappearance of
little "Curly" Cohen. He came
into the office of the United Jew-
ish Charities a few weeks ago, and
announced that he had run away
from home. He said that lie had
come to Detroit to visit an aunt
in Highland Park, but that being
unsuccessful in finding her, he
thought perhaps the United Jew-
ish Charities could help him locate
the relative. lie didn't know her
first name.
"Curly" left his suit-case, and
twenty-five dollars behind him,
when, at the advice of the worker
in charge, he left the building, to
purchase a ticket, so that he could
return to his home in New York.
But from that day to this "Curly"
has never returned. His suit-case
and bank-roll are still at flue build-
ing.
His family in New York say he
has not returned His mother is
prostrated. The police have been
unable to find a trace of the boy.
And the social worker who talked
to him says she is sure that the
contrite lad intended to return to
his home.
What has happened to Curly
Cohen? When he left the building
he wore a corduroy suit and a cor-
duroy cap. He has blonde curly
hair, blue eyes, and is rather small
for his fourteen years.
The United Jewish Charities,
through its national affiliations, is
continuing its efforts to locate the
lost youngster.
