OUR PLAYGROUND
Hebrews and Romans
Here is a game you can play out
of doors when you get tired of play-
ing tag. Half of you be Ilebrews,
and the other half call yourself Ro-
mans, and stand opposite each other,
in two straight lines. The lines
should be five feet apart.
Fifty feet behind the Hebrews,
draw a straight line. Everything be-
hind that, is the "Ilona." for the He-
brews, and you write out the word
"Jerusalem" on the ground. Then
fifty feet behind the Romans, straw a
line, and behind that is "Rome." Now
choose a leader, and let him call out
"Romans!" or "Hebrews!" which-
ever he likes. Then the line that he
calls must run away from the other
line and try to get into its own city
before the other side catches it.
Whoever is caught before he or she
gets "Home" must become one of the
aoldiers on the other side. Soon the
side with the best runners, will have
all the men. That side wins. Then,
of course, the game is over.

DRAPE RIES---VALANCES
In The Jewish World
Lord Reading, the Jew who was chos-
en by the king of England to rule ov-
er India, set out to take up the duties
of his important office. Ile has gone
to India where he will be Viceroy,
and govern in the place of the king.
The fact that a Jew will be ruler
of India, makes us wonder about the
Jews of India. Perhaps you slid not
know that there are any. Well,
there are, indeed. At least 21,000
Jews live in India, and they have set-
tled chiefly in the provinces of Bom-
bay and Bengal, and Indo-China, or
Burmah (as it is sometimes called).
Some of the Jewish communities have
been there since the eighth century ,
of the Common Era, while some claim
that they can trace back their wan-
derings to the destruction of the Sec-
ond Temple.
What do these Jews look like?
Some communities are black, because
their ancestors intermarried with the
native women. But others are as
white as you or I—allowing of course
for what we should look like in that
climate! Although the number of
Jews is small for such a large coun-
try, the Jews have played their part
in the building of some of the cities,
especially Bombay. Here the Jew-
ish family, named "Sassoon", has
made itself very important, and has
opened schools and synagogue's, hos-
pitals and charities of all kinds. We
can imagine how gladly the Jews of
India will welcome Lord Reading.

that interesting to think of? It is
the first book by Dickens to be trans-
lated into this old language, but not
the first great book of English litera-
ture by any means. "Romeo and
Juliet" has been made into a wonder-
ful Hebrew translation and so has
Milton's "Paradise Lost". And I
mustn't forget to mention another
favorite that has been translated.

JEWISH PHILANTHROPIST
FORMS PUBLIC HOSPITAL
LONDON.—The noted Jewish phi-
lanthropist, Sir Ernest Cassel, has do-
nated £225 for the establishment of
a public hospital for nervous diseases.
This will be the first institution of
its kind in this country. In 1919
Sir Ernest gave £500,000 pounds for
educational institutions.
PALESTINE EXPORTS, IMPORTS
JERUSALEM.—Imports to Pales-
tine during February amounted to
£460,307, representing an increase of
£170,995 over the corresponding
month last year. Exports from Pales-
tine during the same month amount-
ed to £59,553, a decrease of £42,683
"David Copperfield", by Charles under the corresponding month last
Dickens, has been translated into He- year.
A Life Saving Proposition
THE DETROIT ELEVATED RAILWAY SYSTEM
established in Detroit would save more lives than
all other agencies combined.
THE DETROIT ELEVATED cars, being
15 feet above the surface of the street,
could not collide with street traffic.
This is of vital importance
to every citizen of Dtroit.

The carrying structure is supported on single, steel stand-
ards, thirty inches square, placed about fifty feet apart on
heavy concrete foundations. Compare this with sixteen feet
required by a double track surface line. This system does not
hinder surface traffic to any appreciable extent.

The Willys-Knight Sleeve-valve motor improves with use. It is
amazingly free from care and cost. The gasoline mileage aver-
ages about 20 miles per gallon. Its smooth performance is a
source of lasting satisfaction.
The improved Overland is Rugged as ever, Economical as ever,
Comfortable as ever. Its average of 25 miles per gallon of gaso-
line, its saving in tires and upkeep, make it now the lc w-priced
automobile to own and use.
