for home recreation, since it is
so planned that any number of
children, from 2 to 30, can play
at the same time. The words for
the Lotto were compiled with
one object in mind—to give the
Jewish child a basic working
knowledge of his language
through enjoyable play.
The Lotto is composed of
words chosen from the following
categories: 1. members of the
family; 2. parts of the body;
3. profession and trades; 4.
clothing; 5. household furnish-
ings; 6. edibles; 7. classroom; 8.
colors; 9. nature; 10. animals;
11. days of the week.
Mr. Levitz, who comes from
an old Rabbinical family, was
born in Kolno, Poland. He re-
ceived his religious training in
prominent Yeshivoth, and his
secular education in a gymnas-
ium. He is also a graduate of
the Jewish Teachers Seminary
and People's University of New
York.
Under the pseudonym of Yood
Daniel, Mr. Levitz has published
a collection of poems called "In
Tranquil Moments," and has con-
tributed to outstanding Jewish
and Hebrew periodicals in Amer-
ica and abroad, such as the Zu-
kunft, Literarishe Bleter, Frei
Arbeter Stimme, Haydim, etc.
Him poems were included in an-
thologies, set to music, and are
a part of the repertoire of many
choirs in the United States.
Mr. Levitz's Lotto, the words
of which were selected with
great care—as for a poem—is
the first of its kind in Yiddish,
beautifully published, priced at
$1.50, and may be obtained from

Tickling the News
BY MARTIN PANZER
At a recent America First rally
in Ohio an attempt was made to
make the most of the names
"Rosenman and Cohen". But the
boys will have to do lots better
than that if they want people to
stop giggling at "Martin, Barton
and Fish".

To the rabid opponents on the
American foreign policy scene we
recommend a study of the recent
ZOA convention, at which sharply
contested issues were decided by
acclamation. It's a good trick if
you can do it.

Congressman Celler called the

quite right. The Spanish inqusi-

Mrs. Margaret Stinger claims
that the totalitarians are enemies

they're such good . friends of

Robert Ley, leader of the Nazi
Labor Front, told factory work-

fighting against the "world

the Poles and the Dutch and the
Czcchs and the Belgians and the
French and and the British and
the Russians and all the rest of
the world, Dr. Ley? Won't you
even acknowledge their enmity
by a nod?

Because of the shortage of

This Is No
Surprise
GENEVA (JPS) — Always
glad to welcome a friend, the
Nazi press and radio have launch-
ed an enthusiastic campaign in
support of Charles A. Lind-
bergh's recent outburst in Des
Moines. The Angriff and Boer-
sen Zeitung, which are good sam-
ples, state that Lindbergh is "the
purest concept of the American
nation." President Roosevelt, ac-
cording to them, is "a Jewish
gangster."
