HEBREW SCHOLAR,

should not lead the members of Pis-
gah Lodge into making the mistake
of seeking only the men of highest
caliber and character. Popularity, too,
Ise said, would inevitably lead to dis-
aster, unless every effort were made
. to deserve the praise bestowed upon
the organization.
"The third menace is that of self-
delusion," said Dr. Franklin. We are
a magnificent gathering tonight, but
this is no test of our strength or of
our usefulness. All gather here to
enjoy these festivities, but will we
come together unitedly and serve and
do our individual share of the work
in the building of the great commun-
ity house of which we have dreamed?"
The Community House, said Dr.
Franklin, must be endowed with the
true spirit of the Jewish home—a
source of inspiration and new ideal-
ism to the young men and women for
whom it was intended.

Rabbi lien Leab Raphaelson, 77
years old, a native of Poland. known
among scholars at a Talmudist and
Bible student, died April 20, at the
home of his son in Newport, Ky., as
the result of injuries received in an
automobile accident. For the past
three years Rabbi Raphaelson had
made his home with his daughter,
Mrs. I.ouis Frank of Adrian Mich.
Having received his education in
Poland, Rabbi Raphaelson travelled
extensively throughout Europe, com-
ing to America 28 years ago. He
chose to act merely as Hebrew teach-
er in Toledo and Cincinnati, where
he had at various times resided, never
caring to full a congregational pulpit.
Besides his widow, Rabbi Raphael-
son leaves two sons, Harry of Los
Angeles and Jacob Raphaelson, of
Newport, Ky., and three daughters,

UT into practice the 14 points of cleanli-
ness and make Detroit a clean city.
Detroit needs a clean up just as much as
the individual home — particularly after the
very severe winter we have just experienced.
Vacant lots should be put in order and all ob-
jectionable piles of refuse removed—it is plainly
YOUR DUTY to help.
Cleanliness is essential to health — stagnant
water breeds mosquitos — mosquitos convey
malaria —dump piles breed Ilies—flies carry
disease germs — so keep your garbage cans
covered and see that your neighbor does the
same.
Your duty in this campaign is to wage a relent-
less, unyielding war on dirt—no matter where
you see it — clean your home — your yard—
make everything spick and span.
Your co-operation is needed to make this
campaign a success.
