BATTLE CREEK BOASTS OF GOOD

Battle Creek early foresaw the
development of aviation and se-
cured a tine airport which is only
two and one-half miles front the
center of the city. It has an area
of 110 (tidies of perfectly level land.
Three hangars have been cons-
tructed. This was the lint tield

saved by its beams. The pilots
were absolutely lust and would
hove been forced to make a chance
and perhaps a fatal landing but
for this welcome signal. Regular
service is maintained ta this field
by can and west boatel flyers.
Under our American ideals a
good school system is an essential
to every city with any pretence to
high standards. Battle Creek
meets this requirement triumph-
antly. Under highly skilled super-

"Gdidim" Marano.
On this holy city there live more
than 500 "Gdidim' Marano famil-
ies. To give an indication of the
conditions under which the Jews
of i'ersia live, a story current
among the Jewish population may
be cited here. This story also pur-
ports to explain how the Mariam,
group came into being.
The Persians have days of na-
tional mourning in which they
mourn the loss of their prophets
and leaders. Once, the story goes.
on such a day a Jew fell sick, his
hand covered with boils. The Jew
consulted a Persian "doctor" who
advised him to kill a dog and to
stick his sick hand into the stomach
of the slain animal and to keep it
there for a time, The Jew asked
the Persian to arrange this for
him. The Persian "doctor" hated
the .1mvs. Ile called t ,bather a
crowd of his co-religionists and be-
fore their eyes slew the dog. Im-
mediately after that the Persian
went before the highest court and
denounced the Jews. He told the
judges that the Jews have on this
holy day of mourning killed a dog
because, with this action, the Jews
wanted to show that the Saints we
atrium are but dogs. But the Kroh,
the judge, was a friend of the
,lees and he refusal to believe that
the Jews would do air irrational a
thing. In the meantime a nil,
gathered around his house and de-
mended to he allowed to attack and
kill all the Jews. The Kadi asked
fur time to investigate the thing
himself. Naturally the body of
the slain dog was found. The Ka&
knew not how to explain it. The
mob persisted in its demands for
revenge and threatened to kill the
Kadi if the latter would not sancti-
fy their desire to slaughter all the
Jews. The mob began to plunder.
Thirty-seven Jews were killed in
the very first minute. The Kadi,
in order to nave the Jewish com-
munity from complete annihilation
urged them to accept !shim. The
Jews, facing certain death, chose
to become Mamma— outwardly
Mohammedans but Jews at heart.
Compelled to Observe Islam.
For 30 years these Maranon
were compelled to observe Islam in
all its minutest details. A number
of families, after this long period
of time left their native town and
went to dwell in Gerad, which is in
the province of Afganistan where
they tore down the Mohammedan
mask they had won. Many of the
Maranon left for Turkestan. Only
200 or 300 milles from Meshed.
During the Bolshevik revolution,
many of them returned to Meshed,
as Jews. Of late, because of the
change in the government, their
condition has improved a little.
These Maranon remained faithful
to the Jewish religion, despite the
Tells of Contribution to
Flying by Otto Lilienthal,
German Jew.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh paid
tribute to the Jewish pioneer in-
ventor and martyr to aviation,
Otto Lilienthal, in a syndicated
article on aviation.
"America boa found her wino,
has awakened to the realization
that she can fly," writes Col. Lind-
bergh. "This realization has come
so quickly that the long process of
learning to lk has lawn forgotten,
the technical development Of the
airplane has been so unnoticed that
the blur of years seemed to reach
its fruition almost overnight.
"Forty years ago a man named
Lilienthal watched the washing
hung out on a clothes line. Ile
inticed that the tablecloths and
sheets and other normally that
niseeS li ft e d in a strong breeze
above the horizontal position which
it would be natural to suppose they
would assume When blown nut by
the wind. Then he noticed that the
cloth had been curved tic the wind
and discovered, logically, that a
curved surface lifts.
This was the beginning of the
airplane--the result of the knowl.
edge Lilienthal gained by patient
olisemation of such things as wash-
ing and the wings of birds. Ile
learned that a curved surface with
a thin leading edge like that of a
bird lifted better than tine with
a thin edge although he did not
know why this was the ease. Now
We know it is due to the greater
vacuum produced above the wing.
"There is 110 greater romance
than the development of the air-
plane. and it is 11 pity that the
recent flights which have done so
much to extend its use hats
dimmed a little the less spectacular
achievements Of n•n who began
this evolution by patient experi-
in infs. Many of them lost their
lives. Lilienthal himself was the
first man to die in attempting
flight in a heavier-than-air-ma-
chine."
Ile was a member of the German
Smokily for the Advancement of
Aerial Navigation. Ile was the
author of several works in which
he explained the theoretical rea-
sons for the form of his aerial
machine.

The preservation of the Jewish
faith among the Martini's is to a
great extent due to the faithful ob-

wear long wide drenses•which cover
their bodies from heed to foot.
Their faces are always hidden un-

never allowed to be in the company
of men, even those of the Jewish
faith. The girls are instructed in
the Jewish religion and many are
well versed in the books of the Per-
