Y. P. S. of B'nai Moshe.

The June Frolic of the Y. P. S., to
be held at the Elks temple June 17,
s now assured of great success, with
the co-operation of the B'nai B'rith,
the Bicur Cholem Juniors and many
other strong organizations in the city.
The funds raised will be used to
beautify the grounds of the B'nai
Moshe synagogue, Garfield and beau-
bien. All are asked to patronize the
event. Sam Mandell and a troupe
of entertainers with him will keep
the evening lively. Dave Diamond,
with his young and peppy players,
will do the musical honors to the
dancers.
June 8 will be an open meeting of
the Young People's Society and a
good musical and dramatic program
is being scheduled. Dancing will fol-
low the program.
The Sunday School maintained by
the Y. P. S. has terminated its term
by a delightful narty given under the
direction of Miss Annarose Hersh,
director, and will again assume stu-
dies in September next. Miss Hersh
considers the first term of the exist-
ence of the Sunday School a most
gratifying success.

ZIONISTS, BRANDEIS GROUP
TO FINANCE SCHEME

NEW YORK—(J. C. B.)—Pinchus
Rutenberg, author of the famous ir-
rigation and electrification scheme
for Palestine, authorized the Zionist
Organization and the Palestine De-
velopment Council (Brandeis group)
to proceed independently in the col-
lection of subscriptions for the finan-
cing of his project. The statement
he gave the Jewish Correspondence
Bureau reads:
"As the financing of the plan for
the utilization of the water power of
the Jordan must in the interest of
Palestine be undertaken immediately,
I am authorizing every group and
organization approved by me that is
willing to aid in this financing to take
action at once. Every such effort
will be made in the manner most con-
venient to each particular body.
"It remains my belief that it is
necessary that those undertaking to
support this task should get together
for common action. But even if the
work be done for the present indepen-
dently, I am certain that the various
groups in American Jewry would do
their utmost for the success of this
economic undertaking, which is the
most urgent and vital task of Jewry
for the development of Palestine.
"The Zionist Organization of
America and the Palestine Develop-
ment Council are hereby authorized
to proceed with the collection of sub-
scriptions in accordance with their
own special plans."

Two hundred and ten of the 1,000
Jewish orphans in Constantinople

taken from unsympathetic foster par-
ents and placed in the Orphelinat Na-
tional Israelite.
Here these children are receiving
excellent care and are being educated
and trained for usefulness, no that
when old enough to be "on their
own" they will be self-supporting.
The building, a 41-room house
bought by the Jewish Central Com-

purposes. Classrooms are light and
airy, dormitories are well ventilated,
rows of wash basins have been in-
