I had occasion not so long ago to discuss with a very distinguished Eng-
lishman our good friend Zangwill. His criticism of Zansnvill was that he
approached serious matters in a flippant and cynical way. The result was
that he never reached anywhere. Ile had a good time making everybody
else mad and probably found enjoyment in the more making of epigrams,
but the net result is that he has failed to achieve that position or to exercise
that influence to which his unusual talents justify him. As an interesting
and dramatic figure he is a success, but he seemed to think that as a con-
structive force in Jewry he is a failure. And the Englishman I refer to is
a Christian.
Someone tells me that some Orthodox leaders are considering the idea
of establishing Jewish "parochial" schools. This is interesting, if true. But
I take this opportunity to serve notice on all Jews who are entertaining this
astonishing notion, so thoroughly out of harmony with the spirit of this
country, that if they ever go before the Jewish public with their proposition
I shall fight it tooth and nail. There is no excuse for Jewish schools of the
type suggested and it is about time that some of our reactionary co.religion-
ists cease doing those things that will completely alienate them from the com-
munity in which they live. It surely tries one's patience these days when
one sees well-meaning but misguided folk trying to turn back the hands
of time.
A committee formed at the suggestion of the New York World, com-
posed of men and women of all religious denominations, and from every
part of the country, united in demanding that both political parties include
a plank in their platform, substantially as follows:
"This party pledges itself and its candidates to stand inflexibly
for government by due process of law and against all groups, open
or secret, which attempt to take the law into their own hands. If
its candidates are elected this party gives assurance that no act of
theirs will render aid or comfort to any organization based on
prejudice and discrimination against any citizens for reason of race,
color or creed."

At last the Ideal Rubber Girdle makes its appearance, and it is only nat-

The NEMOLASTIK Girdle differs in many ways from the ordinary rub-

market.
NEMOLASTIK is a pure gurn rubber fabric covered
both sides with fine Italian silk. Can be kept hygienic
and be worn at all times, Summer or Winter. And what's
most important, each• girdle is backed up by the Nemo
people as well as by us.
