Adolph Solomon was one of the most interesting personalities in Ru- mania. Ile was a self-made loan. Born of poor parentage, 70 years ago, his educational opportunities were most meager. Altogether, he only completed two grades of the primary schools. As a buy he worked as an apprentice at iron work. After learn- ing the trade thoroughly he opened a factory of his own, the first modern iron factory in Rumania. It was he that introduced and developed the hearth process of producing iron. In time he became a great manufacturer and employed many workers. But Adolph Solomon's interests were by no means limited to iron and steel production and the accumulation of wealth. Ile educated himself, mas- tered a number of languages, and for the last 40 years took a keen interest in all Jewish affairs. During the last number of years, especially since the war between Rumania and Bulgaria in 1912, he had devoted his time and energy to Jewish interests. Having worked hard all his lifetime, he sought to instill in the Rumanian Jews a re- spect for manual labor. In Rumania the workers were regarded as mem- bers of an inferior class, and it was against this prejudice that he fought with all his might. He felt that the position of the Jews in Rumania would improve when they would tease to be ashamed of honest handi- work. At his own expense he built a manual training school where hun- dreds of young men learned a trade and were enabled to earn a respect- able living through their work. For years he kept up this school at his own expense, and at a great sacrifice of time and energy. His is the only manual training school for Jews in the whole Rumania, and it will remain a monument to the benevolence and generosity of Adolph Solomon. So dear was this school to him dur- ing his lifetime that hardly a day passed, rain or shine, however busy Ile might have been with other things, that he should not have visited it to encourage the teachers and pttpils. There were periods of depression. Sometimes there was a lack of money. hl r. Solomon was not one of the rich- est Jews of Rumania. He put himself into debt. lie borrowed money-- that the school might continue, and $45 that Jewish children might receive an education. In Bucharest there were many Jew- ish poor, and many Jewish children were dying away, because their par- ents could not afford to buy then, the necessary medicines. Adolph Solo- mon loved children, especially chili dren of his own stricken people. It hurt his great heart to see them suf- fer, and hr was determined to save their young lives at his own expense, to he built a magnificent children's hospital and furnished it with the most modern instruments and im- provements. He got for it the finest medical experts and nurses. Now there are thousands of Rumanian chil- dren who are alive to bless him, be- cause of its existence, This children's hospital is one uf the finest institu- tions in Rumania and hears the name of Nit. Solomon's wife. liming the war when there were many suffering war victims, he organ- ised the first relief committee. He gave much from his own funds and collected soli laterr stuns from ethers and aided the war stricken as far as be could. In co.operation utth oth• ers he later established public kitch- ens %hie!, di-triftwed millions of plai ts of sotto and portions of bread. Thousands were saveil from the cruel fangs of starvatian through his ef- forts. When the work of the Joint Dis- tribution C ioninittee extended to Ru- mania. .adololt Solomon was unani- mously elected chairman of the local committee. and he devoted his days and nights to the relief work. The war orphans were not for- gotten by him. either. Thr000h his initattive, and at first with his money, the Bucharest Jewish warren founded one orphan asylum and later another Dependable Quality—Refined Environment — Prompt and Courteous Service orphan asylum, especially for girls, where several hundred destitute Jew- ish children are given a home and a real Jewish education. Adolph Solomon was a versatile genius. His forceful character made him a leader everywhere. He was one of the foremost leaders of the Rumanian Jews in their struggle for emancipation. In the absence of the president of the "Federation of Ru- manian-born Jews," who was abroad for several years, the whole work of this organization devolved upon hint as Vice-President, and several other leaders. During the German occupa• lion of Bucharest, he represented the Jewish interests, It was a difficult, critical period which demanded the utmost loyalty and devotion, much tact and great personal sacrifice. Adolph Solomon did his duty honest- Is: and faithfully. Never will he forgotten Adolph Solomon's heroic courage during the period after the Germans evacuated the city and the Rutnanians began to YOUNG JUDEANS PLAN l'''"Iuti°1' ," Esth INTERESTING SERIES ,I.,,.."
