trains of the skirts sweeping along
the streets made street cleaning

failed . Wh y?
Principally, I think, because it
was a very uncomely thing.
It
was a combination dress and trous-
ers, the trouser leg reaching to
the top of the shoe and the skirt
above, ending some distance above
I the ankle.
Not much to look at—and wo-
man achieved her dress emancipa-

ways.
Would to goodness man could
achieve as much emancipation in
his attire—particularly for this
hot weather. And we Jews ought
to be the ones to do the emancipat-
ing. Are we not the tailors of
the world?

MAKING LIGHT OF THE
DEPRESSION
The best story thus far, to my
ears, of the depression is W. Win-
cheffs.
Johnnie in school was asked by
his arithmetic teacher: "How
many mills make a cent?"
Not a darn one," replied John-
'
Another that I heard this week
is of a Jewish actor who cone to
a booking agency, seeking work.
"What is your experience and
what can you do?" asked the II. A.
"Well," replied the unemployed
Jewish actor, "I used to play
Louis the XIV but now on account
of the depression, I only play Rich-
ard the III."
PAUL REVERE AND EINSTEIN
Is Einstein another Paul Re-
vere?
Reports that come to my ears
indicate that Albert and Paul are
"brothers under their skin."
At least, it is said, that up in
Berlin or down in Berlin, Profes-
sor Einstein may he frequently

3 a. m.
This night-walking must be very
good for contemplation. No
noise—no bustle—no bother from
people. At least, one very well
known Hebrew writer, to any per-
sonal knowledge, does all of his
writing at night.
WORK WH EN TIRED
I recall hearing night work
recommended for another strange
reason. This opinion was ventured
by a writer who found that he
could do his best work, strange to
say, when fatigued. Sounds rath-
er ridiculous on its face, but I am
not so sure but that there may be
something in it.

Since 1909 Dr. Frankel had been

WHO WAS EVER A NOBLE INSPIRATION
By EIGA HERSHMAN
They say that as the star of night,
That lingers long on high,
With eager yet reluctant light
Steals gently from the sky,
She slipped beyond the dim horizon's scope,
Leaving a trail of sweet, inspiring hope.
But they are wrong who say she died,
For when night's star is gone,
It sinks into the glowing tide
That swells into the dawn,
That peace-enshrining dawn, unknown to strife;
If this be death, then 'tis the aim of life:

Felix M. Warburg and the late
Lord Melchett. At a meeting of
so-called nun-Zionists held here in
October 1928, Dr. Frankel pleaded
for agreement between Zionists and
non-Zionists and for the support of
all Jews in the development of the
higher economic, spiritual and cul-
tural life of the ancient home of
that people.
I)r. Frankel's appeal was so suc-
cessful that at a meeting of the
Jewish Agency Council at Zurich,
Switzerland, the following August,
Zionists and non-Zionists united to
carry on the work of establishing a
Jewish National Home in Pales-
tine. Mr. Warburg was chosen
chairman of an administrative com-
mittee of 40, composed of 20 Zion-
ists and 20 non-Zionists and Dr.
Frankel was a member of the
American group.

by Ilyman Rottenberg, president
of Congregation Beth David, Elm-

work of the Jewish National Fund
and promises his continued sup-
port of its program. "I feel it my
duty as a devoted Jew and as the
president of our synagogue to as-
sist in all efforts to make the work
of the Fund a success whether it
is the sale of J. N. F. stamps or
an appeal so that our daily prayers

tion Beth David has in the past
few years led every synagogue in
the city in the sale of the Jewish
National Fund stamps. The syna-
gogue committee of the Fund is
making preparations for the an-
nual sale of J. N. F. stamps in
synagogues and to individuals. The
proceeds are devoted toward the
redemption of the soil of Palestine
as the inalienable property of the
Jewish people.
The Jewish National Fund
executive committee will meet

Philosophical Society in Philadel-
phia last April, Dr. Frankel de-
scribed a world 50 years from now
in which he said the main problem
would be "the adequate use of lei-
sure."
"The picture of the future is
clear," Dr. Frankel said. "Orphan
asylums will, we hope, become
things of the past. There will be
less need for welfare organizations
for the indigent. Year by year we
shall have fewer hospitals. Indus-
try, in view of our constantly in-
creasing development of technologi-
cal processes, will be able to main-
tain efficient production with a
marked reduction in the length of
the working week.
"Because of the stabilized popu-
lation resulting from the lower
birth rate and the advanceing age
of the future population, the labor-
er at 40 will not be looked at ask-
ance when he seeks work; nor will
he be discharged at 50 to be re-
placed by a younger man with less
skill and les experience. The main-
tenance of a larger number of men
in industry as a result of this may
change our industrial system. The
world will have more leisure."

Sperka was pursuing philosophical
work at Columbia University and
simultaneously received his rab-

In Chicago, Rabbi Sperka was
active in Jewish 'organizational
work and wan instrumental in or-

groups.
Since his coming to Mt. Clemens
he has organized a modern He-

also been successful in organizing
the Jewish youth of all ages in

Ilebrew high school courses are

Rabbi Sperka is a brilliant
speaker in both Yiddish and Eng-

As if fearing that his words
might be misunderstood, Shaw il-
lustrated his point by reference to
his own Irish race. "I understand
the Jews better than many others
because I am an Irishman and the
Irish are even more race proud and
arrogant than the Jews," he de-
clared. "Such arrogance is Incon-
gruous in the proletarian world in
which we live. In the solution of

the Jews to rid themselves of the
