The Jewish Center Play School
A visit to the Jewish Center Summer
Play School must arouse sentiments of a
conflicting nature. While, on the one hand,
the visitor is moved by a feeling of satis-
faction over the work that is being accom-
plished for more than 200 children, there
is also the protesting voice which militates
against the crowded and uninviting condi-
tions of the present Jewish Center.
Aside from the emphasis that is being
placed on the fact that so many boys and
girls are being taken off the streets during
the summer months, the Play School is
valuable for the spirit; which it creates
among the youngsters who learn how to
divide their time between play and study;
who, although deprived of the opportunity
of vacationing in the uncrowded country
places, nevertheless find cheer in activity
which has so many pleasant and entertain-
ing elements.
The visitor to this school will be im-
pressed by the freedom which marks the
movements of the children, by the manner
in which self-government is executed. Im-
pressive, too, is the excellent attention
given these young city vacationists by the
group of sincere counsellors. It is evident
at once that the volunteer workers, as well
as those on the regular staff of the Centers,
work harder and have greater demands
made upon them and their time during this
school period than at any other time in the
year.
It is a source of sincere regret that the
poor environment of the Center, its
cramped space and limited facilities pre-
vInt a greater number of boys and girls
from receiving the advantages that the
Play School offers. This is a very unpro-
pitious time, however, for propagating an
improvement in these conditions. With the
facililties at the disposal of the Centers,
staff, there is reason for feeling gratified
over the accomplishments of the summer
project.
Applying "Christian Principles"
This situation dates back to Turkish times.
Euripides Mavromatis, a Greek subject, ob-
tained a concession from the Turkish Gov-
ernment in 1912 to furnish electricity and
water within the Jerusalem district. After the
British occupation of Palestine the concession
was the subject of much litigation at The
Hague court and before the League of Na-
tions. Its validity was finally upheld under the
Lausanne treaty.
The Greek concessionaire eventually sold
his rights to both the electricity and water sup-
plies to a British corporation, Power Securities,
Ltd., which sent engineers to Jerusalem to
construct the electric plant, which began oper-
ating in the fall of 1929, when a company
known as the Jerusalem Electric and Public
Service Corporation, Ltd., was formed for the
purpose.
But the water concession remained dormant,
and in the meantime the growth of population
rendered the existing water sources inade-
quate, Various expedients were adopted by
the municipal authorities in conjunction with
the Palestine Government, but none of them
proted effective. The problem was one that
engaged the attention of each High Commis-
sioner in turn.
Hardship increased. Many of the wealthier
residents had installed reservoirs or cisterns
to conserve rain water, but in the poorer type
of dwellings the prohibitive cost prevented any
such installation.
The problem which as for back as biblical
times had engaged the minds of King Solomon
and Pontius Pilate, and for which they had
created their own palliatives, became more
acute when additional water was needed for
building and industrial development. The
only feasible plan advanced was to pipe up the
water from the Ras-el-Ain springs at the head-
waters of the river Yarkon, on the Mediter-
annean coast near Tel Aviv.
Adamant in its determination that the
recent concession, which expired on May
31, should not be renewed, the Palestine
government is now assuming responsibil-
ity for supplying the city with the much-
needed fluid. The hope is expressed that
by next year the supply of water in Jeru-
salem will be plentiful. And when this
problem will be solved it will he another
result of the invasion of scientific minds
into an area of the ancient world which
for centuries remained dormant. Instead
of collecting rain water in cisterns, Jeru-
salem, it is certain, will before long be
supplied with water through scientifically
drilled wells and perhaps also through
pipes connected to individual homes, in
the same manner in which we here get our
water. Thus progress must replace back-
wardness in the Orient, just as the motor
car is already replacing the camel in Pal-
estine. This is an inevitable part of the
Palestinian reconstrucction scheme directed
at the upbuilding of the country's neglected
areas and at the establishment of the Jew-
ish National Home.
The Queen's Jeweler
The
•
Story of Moysheh Oyved.
By HILDA KASSELL
Riorrrir hi, 1932, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Ire.)
Meet Edward Good, jeweler
to Her Majesty, Mary, Queen of
England. Ile is better known
as Moysheh Oyved, Yiddish poet,
patron of the arts, connoisseur
of rare gems.
As Edward Good he is the
shrewd, bargain-seeking business
nian, examining jewels behind
the counter of his little shop in
East Oxford Street, London.
Ile is the little man with the
courtly bow who personally
waits upon the'Queen when she
pays her yearly visit to his
store. Just before Christmas
he carefully selects antique
watcher, old Victorian brooches,
Chinese charms, or odd jewels
which he knows Her Majesty
would like to purchase as gifts.
And always he finds some rare
miniature, or an interesting
trinket which the Queen gra-
ciously grants him permission to
present to her with his Christ-
mas greetings. And it is Ed-
ward Good who proudly displays
an ivory Buddha, or an old Eng-
lish relic Her Majesty has pre-
sented to him with her compli-
ments.
But it is Moysheh Oyved, the
Yiddish poet, who is like a char-
acter in search for his soul. It
is the author of "Out of Chaos,"
"Visions and Jewels," and "The
Song of Life" who is tucked be-
hind a screen, writing, writing,
writing, while h i s precious
jewels are left to the discretion
of his clerks. It is the artist in
him who would rather not sell
an elaborate sapphire pendant
to Lady II— because he does
not like her face, as it is the
same motive that prompts him
to give a beautiful English
actress an expensive necklace
because it all the more enhances
her charms. It is Edward Good,
the merchant, who purchases
antique jewels and asks no ques-
tions, but it is Moysheh Oyved,
the strange moralist, w h o
charges the Duke of N—an
exorbitant price for a bracelet
because, he knows well enough
that it will not grace the arm
of the Duchess.
"SO SAYS GOD"
Moysheh Oyved, the poet, is
in continual battle with Edward
Good, the merchant, with an
eye for business.

looks upon himself as "the Lord
God Jehovah's inspired secre-
tary," so to speak, transcribing
His messages of peace and
good-will. For only in the
name of God does Moysheh
Oyved feel capable of creating
such an epical and truthful opus
as "Out of Chaos." Indeed,
when reading the book, one fre-
quently comes across aphorisms
and epigrams beginning with
"So says God," or words to that
effect.
Ile is wont to tell that these
books are dream-inspired; mos-

sages and visions conveyed to
him, sometimes under the most
prosaic of circumstances. "Out
of Chaos" came to him like a
fire of light, while he was on
top of a bus bound for the
North-East of London,
BELIEVES IN HIMSELF
Moysheh Oyved believes. He
believes in himself and in his
mission. He believes that only
by reading his books will the
Word of God be conveyed to
the people (this is not an adv.)
Until recently he wrote only
in Yiddish—his nigher tongue,
the language of our "Exile."
Ile does not look upon Yiddish
as a language of the living
word, but rather as the living
self. .For it is in that language
that God has inspired hips, that
he may sing the song of love and
life. He still continues to write
his poetry in Yiddish, but his
latest prose, notably his auto-
biography, Visions and Jewels
and Gems and Life, he has
written in English.
When Zangwill was alive,
Moysheh Oyved had asked him
to translate his Yiddish books
into English, to which Zang-
will replied "Zangsvillistically"
that he had not the time to write
his own books. Though by this
time Moysheh Oyved has man-
aged to have all his "Divine"
messages, prose. work and
poems, as well as his autobiog-
raphy written or translated, as
the case may be, in both these
languages, it is ironic to con-
sider that that which he sup-
posed was but an obscure cata-
logue has won him fame and
honor as far as China, and in-
deed, has been translated into
the Chinese. It is a beautiful,
illustrated catalogue called
"Cameos and Inspiration Jewel-
ry" which the National Museum
at Peking considered authorita-
tive enough to acquire for ref-
erence purposes.
CAMEO COLLECTOR
The truth of the matter is
that actually, Edward Good is
looked upon as an authority on
the subject. He has made a
complete study of the art and
history of cameos, and he has
become so enamored of these
delicate bits of carved ivory,
that he has named his shop
"Cameo Corner."
For years he has been collect-
ing cameos with a burning en-
thusiasm and religious fervor.
Ile is fond of saying that he has
collected them in the same spirit
that an orphan-philanthropist
collects loot children, and event-
ually adopta them as his own.
Yet It is Moysheh Oyved whose
ever-fertile mind builds fantail-
tic fables of the figures and
faces carved uPon bite of onyx
and mother-of-pearl, and only
to favored customers of Edward
Good will he relate these stories

SOLILOQUIZING
So Louis Sobol, Hearst columnist, says he would like to be able
to go up to his chief, when the latter calls for his column, and say—
"Go fly a kite—I'm going fishing." But he can't afford it. Well,
Sobol is lucky. Think what it would be if he were a Jewish columnist.
Just confined to the Jewish field. Unless the crazy thing is Jewish,
ybu can't write about it. You know how Dana defined news. If a

few of the dogs are Jewish. Jacob Fishman, editor of the Jewish
Morning Journal, is one of the fastest column writers I know. Really,
all columns should be written fast. If they are labored, the chances
are they will appear so, and who will read it labored column? By

PALESTINE INTIMACY
That was a good story, by the way, that Lee Kaplan, who just
returned from Palestine,* told. It's all about the Hadassah hospitals
in Palestine. It appears that in Palestine, the Hadassah institutions
have a reputation for getting on very intimate terms with their
clientele. In fact, I am told, too much so. Well, Miss Kaplan tells
this ono anent the extent of this intimacy.
Mrs. Cohen was in the hospital. To be more specific, she was
in the receiving ward, waiting for the doctor to diagnose and pre-
scribe. Along came the medico.
"Well, what's troubling you, Mrs. Cohen?" queried the doctor
with the beaming benevolence characteristic of the staff.
"Well, you see, It is this way," repllied Mrs. Cohen. "You see
we used to live in Jerusalem. That was a good many years ago. At
that time the population of Jerusalem was a good deal smaller than
it is today. I should say, in fact, that since then the population of
Jerusaleni has almost doubled.
"Yes, yes," said the doctor, "but what's troubling you?"
"I am coming to that very quickly," said Mrs. Cohen. "As I
said, we used to live in Jerusalem. You know Jerusalem then had
none of the tall buildings that it has today. But anyway—to be very
brief, one day, my husband took a trip to Tel Aviv. Well, you know
how husbands are. Some husbands are very good—and some should
be in prison. Well, my husband, soil er gerund nein, is not so bad. So
he went to Tel Aviv, and you know how men are. Well, to make
■ long story short, he liked Tel Aviv. Some people like Jerusalem
better and some people like Tel Aviv better, It's an old story, some
people like herring and some don't like it. So my husband opened
a store in Tel Aviv.
"Well, one day, I was staying in the store with my husband, and
I decided I would go out for a little walk. So I said to my husband-
Chayim, I am going to take a walk. You see my husband's name is
Chayiin. So I went out for a walk. Well, I enjoyed the walk very
much, and when I came back, I was hungry like two bears and a
gorilla. So I goes to the ice-box, and eats some fish, and, doctor, I
don't believe the fish agreed with me. I got pains all over, so that's
why I am here!"

And that one of S. R. Harris--not so bad either for hot
weather. The one about the Jewish mother, who was going very

"What do you mean, ahvayress," asked the physician.

Chief Rabbi Dr. Joseph Hertz of the
British Empire, together with the Pope and
the Archbishop of Canterbury, were ap-
pealed to, in the name of religion, to inter-
vene and to mediate the "senseless" dispute
on arbitration between Great Britain and
Ireland. The request came from George
Lansbury, labor leader, and the telegram
to the Chief Rabbi advised the "applica-
tion of Christian principles which alone
can save both people from sheer barbar-
ism."
The stereotyped appeal to the three re-
ligious leaders was thus made a bit ridic-
ulous by the plea to the Jewish spokesman
to apply "Christian principles" in the arbi-
tration proposal. But in Ireland Catholic
and Protestant fail to agree on what true
Christian principles mean. In Germany
Christian sects have not yet reached ac-
cord on this mooted question of religious
difference. In Palestine Moslem police are
occasionally called in to decide disputes
between Roman and Greek Catholics. But
the Jew is asked to apply Christian princi-
ples. What irony!
But the true test is yet to be made. Be-
cause the Chief Rabbi, it is believed, will
not be an arbitrator in the Irish - British
dispute because he considers political activ-
ities outside the scope of his religious
activities.
