In her book, "Liberal Judaism
and Its Standpoint," Miss 0.
Lazarus states that "deep-rooted
in the heart of every Jew is an
almost unquenchable optimism.
This is not because he does not
acknowledge the existence of sor-
row, suffering. evil and sin: he
recognizes only too well their ter-
rible power. But it is because.
when the Jew is at his best. he
sees everything transfigured by
the glory of God."
It is extraordinary, Miss Laz-
arus continues, that although the
Jews have suffered and still do
suffer so much, Judaism should
have this deep undercurrent of
joy and that it should no insist
upon the fact that this world is a
good world.
The Jew neither seeks suffering
nor avoids it. Miss Lazarus says.
He believes that lot joy and sor-
row are both God's messengers.
If he stresses the idea of personal
salvation less than does his Chris-

As president of the World Calen-
dar Association and of the central
coordinating committee in Geneva
in efforts to induce the League of
Nations to adopt a reformed calen-
dar, Elisabeth Achelis has deliv-
ered many addresses. She has
spoken before the American Bar
Association, the League of Na-
tions, international conferences,
church groups, the International
Chamber of Commerce, and nu-
merous other groups. She has writ-
ten magazine articles and has
pleaded for the cause of calendar
of reform.
These addresses she has incor-
porated in this volume in chronol-
ogical form—thus giving the read-
er an excellent idea of the progress
made in her plea for the change in
the existing calendar. She has
built up an excellent case for her
cause, and judging by this book
has enlisted the aid of prominent
groups and leaders. The United
States has practically been in-
duced to send a representative to
the League of Nations to join in
making plans for calendar reform.
But her appeals in no sense re.

move the objections raised by
groups like ours which objects to
breaking up the continuity of the
Sabbath. This interesting woman
leader has Indeed made a plea to
religious groups to join yiyth, her
in her efforts. She states: J
"Religion is perhaps more dlose-
ly affected by calendar reform
thnn any other living force, but
it has always been able to find a
way to meet the changes which
progress demanded. Religions, like
peoples and nations, have often
sacrificed cherished tradition at
the call of a world-wide need.
"Within the last century religion
has had other problems to solve in
connection with time-measurement.
There were conscientious religious
objectors to daylight saving time,
and about 50 years ago in the
United States, similar critics cru-
saded intensely against the adop-
tion of standard time. In both
these instances the storm was
weathered and the objections
eventually forgotten, without do-
ing serious harm to religious senti-
ment."
There is no comparison however
of these obstacles with the effect
that the disruption of the continu-
ity of the Sabbath will have on the
Jewish religious observances. This
book gives both proponents and op-
ponents of the calendar. reform
idea an indication of what it de-
sires. The book should be studied
by the opponents as a means of
finding the loopholes that will help
defeat an idea that would be most
damaging to Jewry,
In spite of our objection to
calendar reform, we recommend
Elisabeth Achelis' book as a very
interesting argument for the calen-
dar change proposal.
Bemelmans' Latest Story
"The Castle No, 9," the latest
children's story by Ludwig Bemel-
mans, (Viking, $2.), Is an inter-
esting children's tale with an im-
pressive moral. It is the story of
Baptiste, the man who had served
noblemen in many castles: his cat,
the Count Ilugerberg-Hugerberg,
the latter's dog and his castle. The
count, after employing Baptiste,
decided to change the names of
things about him. But it was an
act that ended in disaster because
it was so unnatural. When a fire
broke out in the castle it took time
to explain the new terms to the
firemen, with the result that the
castle burned to the ground be-
fore they could understand the
cry for help. The moral is that
"in this life one should always
call all things by their right and
proper names."
It is a splendid story. Both the
text and pictures are by Bernet-
mans. The book will be enjoyed by
children of 8 and 9 as well as their
elders.

Faber 15 r•
To the instructive series of il-
lustrated books published by Mc-
Farlane, Warde, McFarlane, Inc.,
has just been added one of the most
fascinating volumes on record. Fa-
ber Birren, able colorist and one
of the outstanding authorities on
the subject in this country, has
compiled a set of facts and instruc-
tions about colors, their mixing,
their effects on the eye, that read
like fables and yet are pure fact.
Ile describes every color of the
rainbow—the rainbow that "was
the sign given to Noah that peace
was again upon earth." "This sym-
bol," he writes further in comment
on the significance of the rainbow,
"means unity and glory and has
been thought sacred—to give cour-
age to those who endure the storms
of life, The rainbow contains all
pure colors and is nature's crown-
ing glory. Its hues are rich in
meaning and have been worshipped
for centuries."
In "The Wonderful Wonders of
Red-Yellow-Blue" Mr. Birren de-
scribes these three colors as the
primary ones. He tells how these
can be mixed to secure all the other
colors. lie used these three colors
in the printing of this volume, and
he calls the attention of the reader
to the fact that when yellow was
used over blue it made green and
over red it made orange. Thus,
from beginning to end, this 48•page
book, richly colored, relates facts
and serves as a most instructive
volume for young and old.
