So They Tell Mee .

By

LOUIS W. ENFIELD

I heard a story about some
owls the other day. These were
no ordinary owls who rolled
their eyes and shouted "hoo hoo".
These were snoring owls.
The residents of the apart-
ment on whose roof these owls
chose to make their home were
awakened one night by a trem-
endous snoring that was simply
out of this world. Each called
the caretaker to complain of the
racket and this worthy, driven
frantic by the frequency of the
complaints, sallied forth to in-
vestigate.
He returned to the assembled
residents with a dazed look on
his face and told his tale. First
he swore he had not touched a
drop. Then he told them that two
snoring owls had made a bridal
suite of their roof top.
Night after night the two owls
sawed wood regularly and audib-
ly. Slowly the residents lost all
sense of fairmindedness or pity.
At last the local gendarmes were
summoned. They arrived with
their weapons and sallied forth
to have the lives of the snoring
owls.
Here the game wardens hear-
ing of the threatened slaying,
threw a monkey wrench into the
works. The game rules, he de-
clared solemnly, forbade the de-
struction of barnyard fowls. The
police lowered their guns and re-
fused to shoot. Furthermore, the
warden warned the residents
that the death of these owls
would bring merciless prosecu-
tion.
Some time later, the stork
complicated matters still further
by presenting the owls with a
set of twins. Now there was a
quartette to assault the ear and
the air with their hideous din
and finally everybody moved out
but the caretaker.
A telephone call interrupted
me and I never did hear the rest
of the story. As for me, I don't
believe that owls snore. I just
think that my informant had had

one glass of tea too much. I do
remember seeing a movie once
about a dancing caterpillar. Sci-
ence is wonderful.

I am always seeing wonderful
things. Once I went to a side
show and saw the chief exhibit
there. It was a fellow whose
head could spin on its axis like
a revolving door. He could turn
his head entirely around without
so much as straining a ligament.
His name was Thomas and when
I spoke to him, he had a cute
remark to make.
"It comes in handy when pret-
ty girls go past," he said and
he gave me a most portentous
wink.
Thomas is one in a million but
since I saw him, I have run
across some other oddities in this
city. There was a four year old
boy named Leonard who was born
with only one leg. He can man-
age his wooden leg with twice
as much ease as most adults can
handle their natural limbs.
There was also a nine year
old boy named Martin. He had
a glass eye that could fool most
spectators. The muscles in his
eye had never atrophied and his
glass eye moved in perfect uni-
son with his normal eye.
Then there was a sixteen year
old girl named Annie, who was
one of Detroit's leading cheer-
leaders. She used to lead the
cheering sections of her school
at the football games. Robert
Ripley noticed her and wrote her
up in his column as the only liv-
ing human top. Annie stands on
her head and spins around easily
and vigorously.
Ah me. Once I thought that
with practice I could learn to
play the piccolo with my toes,
but I never did.

80 Pct. of Jews
In U.S. Zionists,
Rabbi Declares

Beth Yehudah School
Near 100 Enrollments

NEW YORK, (JTA) — Eighty
percent of the American Jewish
community is actively in favor
of the Zionist program, and a
greater part of the remaining
20 percent are either indifferent
or uniformed, Dr. Felix A. Levy,
of Chicago, chairman of the Com-
mittee of Unity for Palestine of
the ZOA, said in a statement re-
plying to the one issued this
week by Lessing J. Rosenwald,
president of the American Coun-
cil for Judaism. Mr. Rosenwald
had declared that "an overwhelm-
ing body of American Jews" op-
posed Zionism.
"There is absolutely no fac-
tual basis for statements such
as that made by Mr. Rosenwald,"
Dr. Levy said. "The organiza-
tion which he represents has, in
the course of three years of high-
pressure public relations effort,
been able to muster, even accord-
ing to its own claims, only 80,-
000 members. "This is certainly
not an 'overwhelming body,'—a
fact which becomes even more
apparent when it is compared
with the enrolled Zionist mem-
bership in the United States
which stands today as more than
400,000."

At night I hate to go to bed
and waste my time asleeping.
But mornings I hate like the
devil to get up—which two senti-
ments aint in keeping.

The Beth Yehudah day school
enrollments now number almost
100, although the project started
only a little over a year ago.
Last fall term, about 10 children
registered for the first grade, the
only class in the school. As soon,
however, as the quality of in-
struction and the success of the
experiment was guaranteed, more
parents became interested in
sending their children. A few
weeks later, a second grade had
to be added to meet the popular
demand. By last summer four
grades were functioning. Now,
this fall, facilities were provided
for six grades and a gratifying
number of pupils have been reg-
istered in all classes. The actual
number is just under 100, and it
is confidently expected that there
will be a substantial increase in
the next few months.

housewife feels the need to lift
her family meals out of their aim.

note of interest that adds in-

And yet, all too often, she shies
away from the unusual in a mis.
taken belief that innovations in-
volve too much extra work. of
course, sometimes this k true,
but many women have discovered
a vast treasury of economical,
easy-to-prepare mealtime innova-
tions in the countless recipes that
are quickly built around Manis.

recipe that fills many a gap on
the family menu is:
