A new cure for tuberculosis of the throat, by the use of artificial ultra-
violet rays, produced from coal, was demonstrated at the Laryngological
Clinic by Dr. Wessely, assistant to Prof. Marcus Ilajeks. The demonstra-
tion was witnessed by a large audience of physicians, and it was stated
that numerous people afflicted with that disease had been cured.
The faculty of Jassy University has decided that the Jewish medical
students must do their dissecting on Jewish corpses. As the university
medical school has no Jewish corpses now, Jewish students, who comprise
about 70 per cent of this year's class, will be unable to take examinations
and will not receive their diplomas until next year, and possibly not then.
The controversy over Jewish corpses has been one of the bitterest phases of
the anti-Semitic movement in Roumania.

A considerable number of well-to-do Jewish citizens of Macedonia were
murdered during the last several weeks, according to a report published in
the Bulgarian paper, Bolgarski Myr. The victims were among those Jews
who had received blackmail letters from the committajes, threatening death
unless money was given them. The murderers have not yet been appre-
hended. The Bulgarian Government, the paper states, has announced that
it will employ the severest measures against these terrorist bands.
The bombing of the Jewish synagogues in the cities of Frankfort,
Leipzig and Breslau were to be the signals for a general putsche in Ger-
many, according to the admissions of four members of the anti-Semitic
Bluecher group, whose trial started in Leipzig. They also admitted that
the preparations for the putoche, prior to their arrest, had reached the
stage Where dynamite had been procured. They involved in this conspiracy
l'rof. Ruge and other anti-Semitic leaders, as well as Captain Pomarede,
French Connection Officer in Frankfort.

The question of the proper name of the Palestinian Government was
raised by the Arab paper, fileraat El Sherk, in connection with the issu-
ance of diplomas to a number of Jewish graduates of the elementary
school. In the diplomas given these graduates the term "Government of
Eretz Yisroel" was used, while in the English and Arab diplomas, the
words "Government of I'alestine" were used. The paper protests against
the use of the former term, claiming that it would imply that l'alestine is
a Jewish country and that its vve.rnmp ent. is Jewish.

No Exclusive Race.
"No one of the three races, the
Nordic, the Alpine, or the Mediter-
ranean, occurs as the exclusive race
of any country. Even as far north
as Sweden the races are not pure.
Brigham makes a heroic attempt to
use the national averages as the basis
for racial average.
"In passing over from national to
racial we occupy shaky ground, be-
cause the percentage of the different
stocks in the different nationalities is
not known, and whether the immi-
grant would represent the national
race is another point. There is noth-
ing scientific in this part of Brigham's
work, nor anything practical about it.
We cannot say that we will admit so
many Nordics or so many of other
groups.
"I would cancel all that part of
Professor Brigham's work that has to
do with Nordics in this country as a
concession to those who want Nordics
here. We cannot substitute race
figures for national figures, because
there is as much race mixture of Nor-
dic, Alpine and Mediterranean in ev-
ery national group."

That the Polish government, under the premiership of Vladielaw Grab-
Is
carrying on a discriminatory anti-Jewish policy, particularly in its
present efforts to regulate the economic problems of the country, was the
charge made by Jewish Deputy Reich at a general session of the Diet, during
a discussion of the budget. Deputy Reich pointed out that the demands
of the Jewish population in Poland are very moderate, and that it is easy
to satisfy them; that since the Jews have no territorial aspirations, all that
they want is that their civil and cultural rights be respected. The speaker
cited a number of incidents where the government had either ignored the
economic interests of the Jewish population or had directly acted against
them.

"One of the matters brought up
by the army results was the differ-
ence between the different groups;
that is, whites, negroes and Italians
as distinguished from the Irish, Ger-
mans and others. An effort was
made in analyzing the army test re-
sults to distinguish between these dif-
ferent groups. There was no record
in any case of parentage, apart from
the place of nativity. If a man was
born in Italy, that fact was known
in the records.
"There were about 10,000,000 test-
ed in the draft and 100,000 drawn as
a sample from the records of physi-
cal analysis which contains a pretty
good sized standard of the different
nationality groups. The first thing
we discover is that there are differ-
ences according to the sample that
are pretty definite. Without going
outside the draft itself, there are dif-
ferences within the draft, according
to the parentage of the different in-
dividuals,"
Professor Woodworth criticised the
theory of Professor Carl C. Brigham
of Princeton embodied in "A Study
of American Intelligence." In dis-
agreeing with Professor Brigham's
having interpreted intelligence tests
in terms of European races, he said
That her "un-American utterances and unpatriotic character," should
preclude Rosika Schwimmer, formerly of filidapest, Hungary, and a mem-
ber of the "Peace-Special" party, from being granted citizenship papers, is
the gist of a resolution recently adopted by the American Legion Auxiliary
in conference at Indianapolis. The resolution was sent to the Department
of Labor in Washington. Rosika Schwimmer, the Jewish feminist and
writer, is believed to have been the one who induced Henry Ford to start
on his famous peace ship, of which she was one of the members.

A apecal legal status for the Jewish population of Bavaria, recalling
the discriminations practiced against the Jews in Germany during the
medieval ages, was demanded recently by the German Voelkische Partei in
a motion introduced at the first meeting of the newly elected Bavarian
Diet. One of the clauses of the motion calls for the annulment of all
Germanized names of Jews, and for the prohibition of Jews from Ger-
manizing their names. Another motion introduced by the Voelkische
Partei demands the abolition of the pension granted by the Bavarian Gov-
ernment to the widow of Kurt Eisner.

The executive committee of the B'nai B'rith has accepted a plan for
compiling and publishing a history of the Order and of the various district
grand lodges. Since the work of the B'nai Brith is closely connected with
the life of the Jews in America, and all their activities for the last fifty
years, such a history is considered of great Jewish national interest. Steps
to inaugurate new lodges at Manila, Ilavana and Amsterdam have been
taken by the administration board of the B'nai B'rith. The same board has
already granted charters to new lodges in Switzerland; Przemysl, Poland;
Cottbus, Germany; Haifa, Palestine end A:chaffenburg, Germany.
That the dark-skinned Abyssinians claim racial relationship with the
ancient Ilebrews is the statement made in a letter received by the chief
rabbinate of Palestine from Prince Regent Ras Taf AM of Abyssinia, who
is now touring Europe. The prince regent assures the Palestine chief rab-
binate that his people have the most friendly feelings towards the Jewish
people of Palestine and he promises to give full protection and assistance
to the Falashi, a section of the Abyssinian people which has been prac-
ticing Judaism since ancient times. A fund of $30,000 was recently raised
in America for the schooling and instruction of the Falashi Jew's.

A 22 year old chalutz, Moishe Bernzweig, committed suicide by jump-
ing into the Danube. Bernzweig was stranded in Vienna while en route
to Palestine owing to a lack of funds and necessary documents. About 400
young chalutzim, mainly from Poland, are now stranded in Vienna unable
to proceed on their journey to Palestine because they are not in posses-
sion of the necessary documents. The Austrian Government at first thought
of repatriating many of them, but on the intervention of the Palestine
Emigration Office in Vienna, which gave certain guarantees that they
would not stay long in Austria, they have been given permission to re-
main temporarily.

The memory of Walter Ratheneu, the German Foreign Minister, who
was murdered by the anti-Semites, was honored throughout the entire
country by the republican elements, on the second anniversary of his
death. Particularly impressive was the memorial assembly held at his
grave in the Jewish cemetery in Berlin, at which 5,000 republicans paid
tribute to Rathensu's genius. The memorial address was made by Scheidt.-
mann, the leader of the German Social Democrats. A bouquet of flowers
was laid upon the grave by President Ebert. A memorial gathering was
also held in the Rathenau villa, where the murder took place. Ebert, in his
speech there, announced the establishment of • society for the perpetuation
of Walter Rathenau's memory.

question, (luring its discussion by the

his statement that the Jews should

The Jewish daily, The Day, com-

Is the attack of the Klan on the Jews
somebody else's affair? Are we not

Mr. Untermyer thinks it is not. It is

UNDER the provisions of the Federal Revenue Act of 1924, all tele-
phone messages became free from tax at midnight, July 2, 1924.
The taxes imposed under the previous law were as follows:
On a telephone toll message for which the charge was more than
fourteen cents and not more than fifty cents
On a message for
which the charge was more than fifty cents
5 cents
10 cents
These taxes were highest, in proportion to the charge for service, for toll
messages over moderate distances, the tax in some cases amounting to
one-third of the toll charge.
We have anticipated the increased use of toll facilities that will follow
the removal of these taxes and are prepared to care for it.
