"Gambling Is Not For A Jew"
By I. KAUFMAN
Moses Winkelberg s appearance did
not suggest a poet. Short and fat of
figure, ruddy brown of complexion,
gray as to hair where he was not al-
ready bald he seemed much more like
the retail kosher butcher that he was
than any sort of a dealer in specula-
tive dreams.
But his son Jacob must have rec.1_

And that is how Moses Winkelberg

sold on the same day and was able to

who will offer to subscribe $500 each.
New York will be asked to furnish
the larger number of the $500 con-

country in proportion to their popu-

told his son to keep away from the
Wall Street gambling, and nobody
could deny that, it was good advice.
What is more, his son himself seemed
to have taken it to heart, for nothing
more was mentioned about the matter.
But Moses himself could not keep
away from it. After three days he
once more brought up the subject in
Jacob's presence,
"Well, Jake," he asked, "if you
have given up that gambling, when
will you start to do some kind of real
work?"
"But I haven't given it up," protest-
ed Jacob, "and I don't see any reason
why I should. Listen, pa-" and he
launched into an account of fortunes
made overnight by men who came to
Wall Street with a shoe string and
came out millionaires.
"Ei, ei, ei," answered his father,
skeptically. "I have heard of such
tales before. And I have also heard
of many who conic nut beggars."
"But didn't I make a hundred and
twenty dollars last Wednesday?"
"Yes, yes. And today? asked Moses
whose suspicions were aroused.
Now today was exactly what Jacob
wanted to talk about, but not in just
that way. Today he had been un-
lucky. Ile had bought Steel again, on
a margin, and it had become cheaper
now, instead of dearer than when he
bought it. Ile was quite certain it
would go up again. "You see," he ex-
plained, "I've got a system anti it can't

"More money, I suppose," his father
interrupted.

The vigorous manner in which po-
lice departments all over the country
are hcecking up automobile brakes is
good evidence of the important part
that brakes play in the nation's
safety.
In many large cities and in hun-
dreds of smaller ones, motorists are
being stopped on the streets and put
through driving, tests. If the test
develops that the brakes do not grip
evenly or quickly, the officer orders
the driver to have them adjusted. If
they function satisfactorily, the dri-
ver is given a windshield sticker cer-
tifying to the good condition of his
brakes and thus saving him the an-
noyance of another halt and another
inspection.
"These inspections are an ekcel-
lent thing," said Thomas J. Doyle,
the local Dodge Brothers dealer, "and
should be made regularly and univer-
sally. The average man hates to
drive with poor brakes, but the aver-
age man is also very busy. However,
the man who stops to consider what
faulty brakes might result in, will
realize that the necessary few min-
utes in the service station are well
spent. Good brakes protect lives.
And it is certainly the duty of every
motorist to make driving as safe as
possible."
Mr. Doyle also took occasion to
comment on the timeliness of the
Dodge Brothers advertisement which
appears this month in national maga-
