London.—During August the case
of Dwokrayew, the director of the
local gymnasium, came before the
court, It being charged that the di-
rector organized the pogrom in
Frievoye Oziero. From the evidence
at the trial it was established that the
pogrom lasted ten days and the sol-
diers of General Bradorff perpetrated
indescribable atrocities. There was a
special pogrom committee headed by
Colonel Marshes/ski and his commit-
tee used to have regular sittings in
the home of Dwokrayev. The Revolu-
tionary Tribune of Odessa sentenced
Dwokrayev to five years' imprison-
' meat and his wife, whose full corn-
' plicity was proven, to three years im-
prisonment. The latter was subse-
quently pardoned. In the face of the
evidence, the Jewish community felt
that the sentence imposed was utterly
inadequate.

"The Line Is Busy"
Undoubtedly, a busy line is one of the most annoying features
of telephone service. The prosaic "busy buzz" is never a
cheerful sound to the subscriber's ear.
But when you do hear this "busy buzz" central wants you to
know that she has done her honest best to make your connec-
tion—that the line does test "busy,"
and that she is not neglecting your serv-
ice. To give you the busy signal she is
caused more work than your completed
connection would make.
Lines may be busy from many causes.
A four party line, for instance, is just
four times as likely to be busy as a
private line. Sometimes a line tests
"busy" because a receiver has been
removed—the tele-
phone overturned—a book is under the
receiver—or perhaps someone forgot to
hang up. In every case, however, central
has no choice. To her, the "line is busy."
Lines test "busy" too when they are out
of order. So when we consider all these
causes is it not surprising that we do not
receive the busy buzz oftener?
Busy lines are inseparable from your tele-
phone service but your whole telephone
organization wants you to feel that it is using the greatest
care to report the conditions accurately.

JERUSALEM WILL HAVE
ROSS FUR CO. OPENS
BOTANICAL MUSEUM
EXCLUSIVE SHOP OF
The London Zionist Conference
agreed to the grant proposed for the
Botanical Museum in Jerusalem.
the proposal does not remain in print
only, but is actively carried out, Pal-
estine will, it seems, be enriched with
an institution which will represent an
entirely novel type of learned estab-
lishment. European museums exhibit
an accumulation of objects, but the
pedagogic problem of the museum—
how do the various collections
help to
educate the public?—is still left un-
solved—it is just this most difficult
problem which, we may feel sure, the
future director of the Botanical Mu-
seum at Jerusalem, Efram Rubino-
vitz, will effectually solve.
Rubinovitz is a young man whose
name first became widely known
when he was arrested and put into
prison at Acre in company with Jabo-
tinsky. But connoisseurs knew some
time ago that Rubinovitz is one if
the few learned botanists in Palestine,
and they have long prized his book
on the names of Palestinian plants.
So tar the flora of Palestine has not
attracted much study. His best bock
deals with the flora of Palestine as
part of the whole flora of Syria. All
the more modern literature oq this
subject is contained in this work and
in the reports of researches made by
the American colony at Jerusalem.
The aim which Rubinovitz has set be-
fore himself in pursuing his work is
not confined to the purely scientific
side of his subject; what above all
things he desires is to be really a
teacher, to open the eyes of the peo-
ple, and to this end his museum is
designed. At the present moment his
botanical collections are housed in a
private dwelling but already within
this lintiftd space, what new ways of
instruction does he not show use For
instance, we see illustrated the damag-
ing effect of a parasite—the Filipaa-
on two plants pressed and enclosed
in a case. How easily preconceived
notions take root! The colonist sees
that this parasite is generally found
in connection with some kind of use-
ful plant, so he makes up his mind
to sow the infected field the next
year with some other kind of plant,
but the parasite reappears. What is
the cause of this? Weeds of all kinds
grow up round each of his fields, but
the colonist does not suspect that
weeds also are a breeding ground for
Filipaa, and therefore never thinks
of pulling up these weeds) But Ru-
binovitz in his museum shows the
connections of the parasite with
The
plants of every description.
pressed plants show the root of the
Filipaa, how it encircles and murder-
ously sucks the blood of its prey.
Again, another set of plants is col-
lected to attract the ordinary people
who know their Talmud. Rubinovitz
has•arranged the plants in order as
they are mentioned in the Talmud.
Talmud readers know their names
well enough, but have no idea of the
plants themselves. Rubinovitz is able
with his knowledge to show them
exactly what they are like.
In one corner we come across a
large mass of plants, and the on-
looker is struck by the close similar-
ity between it and a human skull. In
this way Rubinovitz speaks to the
people. You are struck with the sight
of this human skeleton; here you see
the skeletons of plants; it is a collec-
tion of plants, which also after their
blooming and fruiting is over, pass
into their own peculiar ghostlike state
of existence.
There is another series representing
spring in Palestine, an exhibition of
the chief spring flowers from differ-
ent parts of Palestine. Also a collec-
tion of "Flora with the Sand-dunes,"
showing that the sea sand of the
dunes has quite a different flora of its
own according to •vhether we go to
Rischon, Rata or Chefzibo. So we
learn front Rubinovitz What plants see
must sew on the dunes, in order
obtain the appropriate flora to pre-
vent the sands front shifting.
As soon as the museum is built, Ru-
binovitz will organize a botanical
service throughout the country.
Teachers and pupils will be enrolled
to help the museum, and branches
will be opened in the colonies.
Our people, who have grown to
honor book-lore, must learn to open
the book of nature.

WARSAW—The Jewish deputies
in the Polish Diet, at a session of
that body held on October 8th last,
have sent an interpellation to the Po-
lish War Secretary to investigate the
new military pogrom against the
Jews in Pinsk, which lasted from Sep-
tember 26th to October 2nd last. The
interpellation states that the pogrom
was made by soldiers of General Bala-
chovitch's army, which was first to
recapture Pinsk from the Bolsheviki.
The city suffered severely from pog-
roms, nearly every Jewish house was
plundered and fifteen Jews were killed
outright. Sixty Jewish women were
violated by the soldiers, among them
the widow of the Rabbi of I'insk.
The Jewish deputies demand pun- 4
ishment of the guilty.
At the same session the Jewish
deputies also demanded a stop to the
officially sanctioned pogrom agitation,
which is aided by the government.
The deputies submitted articles and
cartoons from official, army news-
papers published at the front, to
prove that an open propaganda has
been carried on for some time urging
the shedding of Jewish blood and the
persecution of the Jewish population
in the towns occupied by the Polish
military authorities.

By the end of 1920 there will be between 7,800,000 and 8,000.000 automo-
biles in operation In this country. The average life of a ear is not over hey
years, as that replacements alone will call for 1.600,000 cars annually without
allowing for any export business or Increase In number of car owners. Pro-
duction for the first half of 1920 was 1.000,000 cars and total output for the
year will probably not exceed 1,600.000 • compared with an actual output of
1.657,652 passenger cars in 1919 and with 1,740,792 in 1917, the record year
to date. The automobile has become almost a necessity In American life
and only a comparatively small percentage of passenger cars are used for
pleasure only.
Ford by lowering his price has once more broadened the base of the
pyramid of possible car owners. On January 1, 1918, 46.8% of the 5.300,182
motor vehicles registered sold for under $500, while only 7.1% sold for over
$2,000. Every Ford owner is a prospective purchaser of a higher priced car
when the time comes to replace his first purchase. The sudden decline In
the demand for cars was largely psychological and, will probably be followed
by a quick renewal of demand in the early months of next year. One of the
