I heartily agree with the one-half of 1 per cent Americans that the alien influence on art and literature in this country has been most corrupt- ing. And I don't blame these earnest-minded souls from meguphoning their protests against making America the dumping ground for these evil-minded foreigners. And I am willing to work shoulder to shoulder with them in fighting this menace to the morals of the nation. When they are ready I am prepared to take drastic steps to eliminate from the press of the country three foreigners who have done much to arouse the righteous indignation of glean-minded citizens by their introduction of the low-minded tabloid pic- ture papers to the homes of the free.

The idea hasmet with widespread approval and the Chicago Rabbinical Association is urging all its members to devote the Sabbath following Lag B'Omer (the "Scholars' Festival") to a seron emphasizing the vital need of quickening Jewish life through a more familiar acquaintance with first grade literature written by and about Jews. More books of Jewish interest are now being published than ever before in the history of Use world. And the Jews should certainly encourage and support these efforts to put out good books on Jewish sub- jects in English. Let everyone begin to consider more seriously Jewish literature and the pulpit of the country will render a real service by arous- ing interest in it. • Julius Rosenwald seems never to miss an opportunity to further his pet project of assisting the Negro in his Young Men's Christian Association work. The newspapers announce that when Mr. Rosenwald's contribution of $25,000 for the Negro section of the proposed New York Y. M. C.

Mr. Rosenwald is rendering a real social service and one that is of immense value to the nation in promoting the cultural welfare of the Negro. That man Sapiro certainly sticks like a chestnut burr.

But even those who are able to choose their surroundings, who have money enough with which to buy their dreams, have their difficulties, particularly in the realm of home decoration. They trail wearily on their quests seeking the materializa- tion of an ideal, and, at last, from sheer hopelessness, accept some poor substitute which will always look even less allur- ing because it is contrasted with the dream that never came true. a 4. * 4, * Dean matter craftsmen hate the knowledge, the artigry, the ex- perience and the underllanding to interpret the desire for cell expremion on the part of Dean climt.f.
