"Let me make the supersti-
tions of a nation and I care
not who makes its laws or its
songs either."
"It is nobler to show an
other how to be good than to
be good yourself, and less
trouble."
"Each person is born to one
possession which out-values any
he can earn or inherit—his last
breath."
"In the first place God made
idiots. This was for practice.
Then he made juries."
"Often the surest way to
convey misinformation it to tell
the truth."
Evidently Mark Twain had
been touched for many a loan,
Mr. Slomovitz write, judging by
another inscription in "Rough.
ing It": There is an old time
toast which is golden for its
beauty: 'When you ascend the
hill of prosperity may you never
meet a friend'." And perhaps
an excellent sequel to this Is
his statement in "The Gilded
Age": "It takes your enemy and
your friend, working together,
to hurt you to the heart: The
one to slander you and the
other to hurry the news to
you."
Among the other quoted in-
scriptions In Mrs. Gabrilow-
itsch's gift from her father Mr.
Slomovitz reveals the following:
"'Hunger is the handmaid of
genius.' Or the barmaid, or the
housemaid, or the lady's maid.
I don't know for sure which it
is , but it is one of those, tiny-
way."
"The old lay says: 'Let a sleep-
ing doy lie.' Experience knows
better; experience says, if you
want to convince, do it your-
self."
"If the desire to kill and the
opportunity to kill room always
together, who would esacpe the
gallows?"
"Everyone is a moon and
has a dark side which he never
shows to anybody."
"But perhaps the most strik-
ing of all the inscriptions," the
Slomovitz article concludes, "is
the one contained in the last
volume, The $30,000 Bequest,'
out of which the eminent daugh-
ter of a great father must have
gotten a great thrill, because of
the personal allusion to inheri-
tance. Inscribing 'The $30,000

Jewish affairs, was elected mag-
istrate of Davidson County in the
recent primaries.
Zionist Enthusiast
Herr Ludwig spoke with con-
siderable enthusiasm about the
World Zionist Congress in Lu-
cerne, which he had attended for
three days. Ile described his talks
with Dr. Weizmann and Dr. Rup-
pin. He was deeply stirred by the
dramatic atmosphere surrounding
its proceedings. The spectacle of
of the representatives of more
than a million Jews from prac-
tically every country in the world
assembling in Lucerne to speak
for Jewry filled him with a pe-
culiar sense of courage and tn.
uninh. Ile was, however, some-
what perturbed by the situation
which the question of the discus-
sion of the German-Jewish posi-
tion threatened to create. The
common talk that the Transfer
Agreement, whereby Jews coming
from Germany are permitted to
bring their money to Palestine in
the form of German goods, might
seriously interfere with a free and
untrammeled debate on the Jew.

upset him, he said. Undcr these
circumstances he was greatly re-
lieved by the address by Dr. Step-
hen S. Wise, which vigorously ar-
raigned the Nazis for their per-
secution of the Jewish people.
As for the Transfer Agreement,
Herr Ludwig remarked, "Hitler
was certainly the Shylock in this
transaction.
"But Hitler has built a beau-
tiful monument for himself in
Palestine. In a few years he will
be gone and forgotten, but in
Palestine the thousands of Ger-
man Jews who have emigrated
there since his regime went into
