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.

Chard 65 "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. MICHIGAN STATE TELEPHONE COMPANY sh gla 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.

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. - ------ CLASSIFIED Bonds 01 ==0=01=10=01=10=01====0= FLAT OWNERS!

MARSH HESTON COTTER KEIDAN 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 Chandler .
