A WEALTHY Jewish merchant
decided to purchase a parrot. lie
wanted one that could under-
stand many languages. Finally
the bird fancier secured, at an
enormous price, the required
parrot.
The Jew took the parrot home
and alter dinner began to ask
him:
'Parlez coos Francais?"
The bird replied: "Oui, our."
Then the asked the bird: "Ga-
ya; li po-Russki?"
"Da, da, Konetchno," was the
reply.
"Spriehst du Deutsch?"
"Grader gut. Grader gut."
"Ila'medabare Irvith?"
"Kein, ke'muvahn."
"Redst du Yiddish?"
The bird hesitated for a mo-
ment. It looked up in a surprised
Wanner at its new owner and
then said indignantly:
"Mit a zah noz, zoll ich nit
reiden kein Yiddish?"

AN IMMIGRANT from Poland
Carrie to New York and hume-
diatcly asked: "Do they have
pogroms here?"
His American friend told him:
"Nape, no pogroms. In fact, no
anti-Semitism even."
The immigrant refused to be-:
neve that, so the American
showed him around New York.
There was the Statue of Liberty,
big Synagogues and newish busi-
ness places with no signs of vio-
lence.
Then they entered a fruit store.
*What beautiful oranges," cried
the immigrant. "I'd like some of
those big ones" But the clerk
said: "If you want them for
juice, take the small ones."
"There you are," cried the for-
eigner. "Anti-Semitism."

ALBELT EINSTEIN recently
attended a banquet in Hollywood
at which a number of windy
speeches were delivered.
Late in the evening the prin-
cipal speaker who was deter-
mined to speak longer than any-
one who had preceded him, was
introduced. Two hours later he
was still going although his audi-
ence was yawning openly.
Einstein, bored like everyone
else, turned to the man seated
next to him and whispered:
*Now I am beginning to compre-
hend infinity."
