DISCOVERY IN JERUSALEM Jerusalem. (J. T. A.) A discovery made by a British archaeologist, an Oxford student'and pupil of Lord Balfour,: during excavations of' the British School of Archaeology here, may lend weight to the pro-evolution argument in the Tennessee anti-evolution trial.

The front part of a ...primitive', human skull was discovered during excavations by Mr. Turville-Petre in a cave at Tabgha, near Tiberias, among Mousterian flint deposits.

The skull is characterised by a prodigious development of the supra-orbital prominences and depressed forehead as in a chimpanzee, and conforms closely with the* Neanderthal European type not previously found on the continent of Asia.

Professor Garstand, Director ofthe School, who was a witness of Mr. Turville-Petre's discovery,'^confirmed its scientific value.

Friends: _„ . J .'

You are very kind to nae._ More kind than I expect and perhaps more kind than I deserve. The work that I have been doing in the interest of the community and in my official connection with the Jewish Welfare Federation has found its reward in the pleasure that it gives me, and demonstrations of your esteem for me are neither expected nor necessary, for by your co-operation with me from month to month and from year to year you have shown your respect for the causes that are ours, yet I cannot adequately express my appreciation of this tribute. It will always linger with me as a fond memory. It pleases me most because it shows that the community does appreciate efforts in its behalf.

For some time, and particularly during the last few years, because of my connection with the Jewish Welfare Federation and its allied activities, I have had an opportunity to observe asd become familiar with the needs and the problems of the Jewish Community. One of these problems which has stood out in bold relief in my mind, is the need for a Jewish Community Center in a building of pur own, where recreation facilities will be afforded not only to the boys and girls of all ages, but to the adult members of our community as well.

pacity of our. quarters and the facilities ±hat we possess. It has been my dream and the hope of most of the men actively associated with me, that in the not far off future the establishment of this most important Jewish Communal Enterprise would be effected.

Having lived in Omahsf the greater, and undoubtedly the better portion of my life; having enjoyed at the hands of my fellow Jewish citizens here every kindness, respect and courtesy that could be shown to one, and being prompted by a desire to serve this community in a way that will be. substantial and of everlasting benefit, I have concluded to devote a part of the property that I accumulated here to the establishment of a permanent institution.

I had concluded to make announcement of my intentions this fall after my return from my trip to Europe, but when advised of this dinner, I oonelBded to make the announcement here and "now, and accordingly I shall hand your toastmaster this statement over my signature, in and by which statement I do subscribe and pledge the sum of $50,000.00 for a Jewish Community Center Building in Omaha, to be paid to the Treasurer of the Jewish Community Center, on condition only that within six (6) months from this date there shall be raised in pledges not less than $150,000.00 additional.

The work we have-been doing in rented June 15, 1922. ; quarters is an inspiration to those who are familiar with it. It is, of course, limited by the ca(Sfened) MORRIS LEVY.

Our Chief Cornerstone

By WILLIAM TL. BLUMENTHAL • Executive Secretary, Jewish Community Center

J

The entire Jewish Community of Omaha is rejoicing that we are ready for the laying of the cornerstone of the hew Jewish Community Center Bxulding. Already two stories have been erected, the third .story will be =up before August 1, the roof on early ithis falL and the building ready for occupancy before the first of the year. A generation-long dream has been translated into reality; a visionary ideal has been evolved into a concrete actuality. KnaHy a. home is being completed where Jewish ideals -mil not only be taught, bat will also be lived, A home is being built where bid and young will gather in t i e spirit of mutual helpfulness myj of service,—helpfulness and service from wMch feey will gain strength and inspiration.

In this; new Community Center we are going: to, provide for fiie moral, the spiritual, the mental, and the physical development of our youth so that they may be good Jews and good citizens. The Center will provide opportunity for self-development and for recreation for the normal, self-respecting, intelligent young Jews and Jewesses. The Center -will bring in contact our future leaders with the present, so that the younger. generation may imbibe from the older the spirit and the ideal of Jewish service.

The Center will obliterate 3mes that divide the old from the young, the •weak from the strong, and weld them into a harmonious unit.

II. .Our great achievement brings home i » us a sublime lesson. And that is: Have Faith in the Jewish Community.

No matter what the obstacles may be i3se perseverance of the leaders of the Commnnity -vill win. Tremendoushave been the obstacles and the discouragements in the path of the erection of our Community Center. But we have won. Credit is due to the indefatigable leaders whose vision and strength of purpose have brought us so close to the completion of our task. We must now redouble our energies to finish the job we have so auspiciously begun. Let us resolve to strengthen the hands of the officers and of the Board of Directors so that all the funds outstanding on pledges Tnade may be quickly collected and the construction proceed at the rapid rate - set thus far.

HISTORY OF WORKERS FOR COMMUNITY CENTER More than nineteen years ago, a handful of men gathered together on one cold winter evening-, to plan for tjhe future. It was early in February, 1906, when fourteen men assembled at the home of Dr. Philip >5her at Sixteenth and Jones streets •S5i>: plan .for the erection of a Jewish iSommunity Center. At this first meeting were the following men: Morris Levy, Dr. Philip Sher, Carl Brandeis, Samuel Katz, Rabbi Frederick 6phn, Sol Brodkejri Harry A. "Wolf, A. BJ" Alpirn, Harry B. Zimman, A. J. Miller, S. Ravitz, Nathan Bernstein, Isidor Ziegler, J. Katelman. At the dose of this meeting, plans were made for another meeting at the home e£ the late Carl Brandeis at Twentyfourth and Famam streets.

As a Tesiilt of the second meeting: of this handful of workers, a mass meeting was called at the Germania Home, ESgnteenth and Hamey streets.

At this "meeting, and after strong appeals, the sum of $3,500 was pledged for the Center. Of this amount but $1,100 was collected and the proposed project failed and the collected money was returned.

Feeling the weight of the first failore, these loyal workers delayed immediate work for a short period of four years, when they later rented the present Talmud Torah building and remained there bat six. months when tike Wellington Inn was rented and Tfere the quarters for the Center for a couple of years.

In 1912 these same workers, En-

departed as silently as it had appeared.

More effective than printed words or engraved resolutions was the result of their appeal. Its challenge brought action, cold deliberation and formal plans were forgotten. Springing to his feet, Harry Zimman voiced the thoughts that were uppermost in the mind of every man in the room: "We must get busy. We must answer the appeal of these splendid boys and girls. They are not asking for themselves alone, but for all of us-^ for you and me—for the Jews who will follow us."

When these drives were first started, Harry Zimman accepted the position of chairman of the finance committee, but after listening to the appeal of these boys and girls, and because of lack of time, he resigned and in resigning asked the audience to choose the man who could put it over.

Immediately, as if thunderstruck, the large hall and from all corners of it, came the cry, "We want Harry.

Lapidus." And after modi persuasion Harry Lauidus accepted the job as chairman of the finance committee.

Harry Lapidus arose to thank the audience and asked for help from every man, woman and child. Harry; Lapidus continued with this job and continued until every dollar was pledged.

The Jewish Community Center building is now being erected. Many; of the men who had worked through the many- years to hope to see this budding are not with «s, have not lived to see their wishes realized.

The people of Omaha owe a moral obligation to each other to kelp complete the building as scab as possible, to assist with this work sad to pay

The-Klan murders at Mer Rouge, La., rivaled only by Poe's "Murders in the Rue Morgue," are still fresh in memory. The excesses committed by these night prowlers in other states are a stench in the nostrils of good citizenry.

Religious orders have been permitted to parade in Washington and, rightly so. But this order uses religion for irreligious purposes.

What an anomaly! Washington rejoiced that in the newly formed United States every man would worjship as his conscience dictated and there would "be none to make him afraid." .

Yet, there is to be permitted, upon your "say so," in the Sylvan Theater, in the shadow of the monument erected to the memonry of Washington, arch foe of religious -intolerance, rites tending to destroy everye vestige of toleration.

This fact most that are growing up in all depart- have been obvious to as had we rements of community effort examples membered that the Jewish faith and this. It is fair to say that American people have been the vessels of toe treatment of the American Jew has . never gone to the extremes of physical persecution that we find still in Europe.

Bat in spite of the encouraging signs of deepening fraternity the fact still stands startling and clear to all fainninded and discriminating observers* that much insane intolerance remains, and that the so-called Christian group in America bears a heavy burden of guilt upon its soul for its persistent though subtle persecutions.

'No Jew needs to be told this. It is a fact. that, has registered upon the sensitive plate : of the Jewish soul with painful distinctness. To those who have- read "Upstream," or the recent article in the Atlantic Monthl y on '.The Jew and His Club,'? it is _ a matter of no difficulty to understand • the terrible things that have been done even under the names of Religion and Americanism. I want to say to my gentile brethren that it is'not - necessary to use a physical rack to torture a sensitive sciil. The shrewdest tortures in the world are the tortures in -which our relatively peaceful America is most proficient. When - the Jewish' child is told by a Gentile playmate that he is the crucifier x>f . Christ, he is a partner^in a spiritual - pogrom, the unconscious perpetuator . of a- falsehood. The crucifiers of Jesus, today are the followers of a pagan .creed in business and in social life and in labor relations and in international affairs. Jesus could not enter America by Ellis Island if he come, in person today. And it would not be the Jews that would keep him cot. It would be our timorous and conservative Nordic friends who would tie afraid of him as a dangerous alien radical. _ - . i , ~ ..

highest spiritual genius that the world has known.

In science arid letters and philosophy we find the gift of the Jew not simply great, but first in our time.

Einstein, Bergson, Steinmetz. these are the names that crown the list.

In social advancement, in idealistic statesmanship, we find the Jew ever in the front ranks.

The great Rathenau of Germany, Brandeis and Straus of America,' these are the names that belong in the list of the greatest of the day.

In art we find the Jews peers in service to the beauty of the world.

In music, in painting, in sculpture, in poetry, the story runs the same.

Heine, Mischa BTman, on through the £st of an army of those who have enriched the soul of mankind, we find the lists of Jewish names.

Wherever a Lost cause calls for glorious and reckless souls, there are Jews to be found. Wherever prison bars shut away men who have counted honor and conscience dearer than liberty and ease, there you will find Jews.

Wherever men strive for justice and for mercy, there you will find the people of Amos in the front ranks. Wherever a shaken society beset by manifold problems calls for men of faith and men of vision, there you will find the Jew. Bat greatest of all in the realm of religion, the Jew stands uncomparably alone, gloriously apart in bis spiritual genius. For from the souls of the mes of Israel have sprung the two

incomparable religions in which rests the hope of humanity.

Out of it all comes this conviction —that America needs the Jew. It needs the Jew for his spiritual genius.

It needs the Jew for his social passion.

We are not in need solely, or even chiefly, of "more tolerance. That is a negative thing. We need in these trying times a great positive co-operation, an inspiring fraternity of effort.

We need the pooling of light and power, of conscience and of culture.

Mere preachments will not accomplish this thing. We have had enough of "peQyajttna" good-will m these postwar caye. We have talked enoagrh brotherhood to feed a windstorm.

What we have lacked is the intelligent daily practise of brotherhood. We have thought tfeat we coold shut oursefces off from OUT brethren of other races and creeds six days a week and rejoin the human family on the Sabbath by a wave of the hand or the repetition of a creed.

The Federal Council of Churches has established for the first time in the history of any national Christian organization a committee whose express task it is to discover and to lead men to follow the path that issues in Good-Will Between Jews and Christians. It is matched by a corresponding committee of the Central Conference of American Rabbis with whom it is in closest co-operation.

The appointment of such committees is significant in itself. Significant

SECTCOET 2—THE JEWISH PEESS, THURSDAY," "ULY 16, 1925—PAGE 11 of the feeliing in the Christian church that we can no longer tolerate the conflict that has so long existed between the teaching of brotherhood and the practice of snobbery. Significant of the tolerance and breadth of spirit in Judaism.

It is significant of the meeting of ' both Jew and Christian that good-will is a basic quality in a civilization that .isr-to survive, and that ill-will is a destructive and intolerable element. !We have come to realize that a faith that is divided against itself, its 'preaching pitted against its practice cannot stand. Either the church must practise its creed or prepare to die. . •-.. The basic importance of good-will is self evident. The achievement of universal good-will is the anost difficult task in the world.

Every narrow loyalty of mankind is matched by a prejudice. The prejudice is the dark side of the cloud. .The loyalty is the silver lining. We see this in our denominations. Denorninationalism is a virtue when it means loyalty to one's group. It is a vice when it means hatred of the church around the corner. Take patriotism. Patriotism is a virtue •when it means love of one's country.

•It is a vice when it means hatred of another country; Take Christianity.

Christianity is of God when it means love of the teachings of Jesus, i t is ' a crime, in fact it has ceased to be Christianity when it means persecution of another religion. . What then is the way out? The wider loyalty, the universal brotherhood that-is written into the heart of Judaism and of Christianity—is not this the^answer?'

-,. Civilization has become a race between the power of narrow loyalties to embitter and the power of wider • loyalties to reconcile. Between the rj-jiower of narrow nationalism to poison V<6ur ; minds and destroy our sons in .war, and the power of a broader nationalism to fit us in our place in s great world order. Between the power of narrow sectarianism to '. estrange us from our brothers and the power of legitimate sectarianism to fit us into a world harmony of souls.

How shall we do this thing? By •words only? No. Not even chiefly by words. We shall do it by practice.

Brotherhood springs not out, of Sun.day speech but of the day's work done in common with our fellows.

Must we abandon our narrow loyalides to accomplish this thing? No, not in the sense that they represent our sacred traditions and our special beliefs. We shall rather match our every loyalty that is to a fraction of the race or to a special set of ideas, by a wider loyalty which is to the entire race and to the entire aspiration, of man.

But how is this to be done? I am convinced that there is no other way than to come into contact intimately, personally, fundamentally with-. men of every kind and creed. To know a man's soul you, must "do- more than, • hear about that soul/ You Vnust touch that soul. That this may be possible We "must emphasize and increase the groaps where men of all groups are brought together. Jew and Christian, laborer and employer, native < and alien, Protestant and Catholic, dark and> brown and white, intellectual and tuilettered, society's four hundred, and humanity's millions.

"When soul meets soul, and in th© true American fashion, shares all that is good and sacrifices all that is un- ' •.worthy in that interchange, then th© rproblem of ill-will shall cease to be-—' e" accoter- i ~

' Mr; Mears, "Speaking* of' the teti* gious differences of the system^ -of nationalities (the Millet system), th^ capitulations and other characteristics of the Turkish social and political constitution, observes that the status: of the native Jew is different to that; of Armenians and Greeks. The Jews have not given firth to a strong in-; terior movement for political independence and have therefore erjjoyed; in contrast to the other elements, more favorable conditions than their co-religionists in-many other countries of continental Europe..In the chapter on the religions in Turkey, the author and his callaborators devote little space to the Jewish element and in the many chapters dealing with education, no mention is made of the Jewish schools. The author even omits to give statistics regarding the number of schools and pupils of the Jewish communities as he has done for the other elements of Turkey. We draw this to the attention of those who have the direction of the Jewish education, especially in Constantinople so that they may prepare statistics with the aim of making available such • important material of the various elements in Turkey so that they may include this very important field «of Jewish activity in Turke. The author also fails to speak of the Jewish women in the Orient. He" does, • however, describe the Moslem (Arab, Kurd and Turkish) women and the Christian (Armenian, Greek and Albanian) women.

In reading "Modern Turkey" one obtains P clear picture of life in Turkey where Turks and Jews have always lived in harmony and both collaborate in the task of heralding a new period of prosperity and wellbeing\

But this vulgar form of Marranoism may be left to its .term which current journalism comically applies to the attitude of the native Semites of Palestine towards the Zionist immigration. That Arab hostility—however mistaken—is the only form of it with a shred of justification; all other manifestations of Jew-hatred require the word Judaeophobia, a word -with the right pathological ring. For though the Jews are - far from faultless, the hatred of them is based more on their virtues than on their vices, and less on facts than on lies and legends.

In a recent letter from an unknown correspondent in Berlin—and surely it is not so much the "want of pence" as the superabundance of correspondence "that vexes public men"—I was solicited, in common with other public Jews, from Brandes to Trotsky and from Einstein to Charles Chaplin, to set up a Jewish museum in a derelict Ghetto which my correspondent had discovered in a Swiss village. The • synagogue of this whilom Jewish quarter, now a mere room for straw, turnips and dirt, should, he urged, be turned into a depository for documents of the persecution of the Jews in the Middle Ages.

own futility. More important' is it that Judaism, even though openly practiced, should not lurk too shyly in the background of civilization. One hears of it only when its method of slaughtering cattle is called into question. To that attack there is a doubtless adequate reply in this volume, though, for my part, I venture to assert that, whichever form of killing is the most humane, that form is the form to which Judaism is bound by, ite own spirit. But what needs exposition urbi et ©rW is precisely this spirit, It is nineteen centuries since Josephus wrote his noble reply to the Greek sophist, Apion. This cSrile note is sot heard again throughout all the Christian «ra, for even when Judaism was forced to defend itaelf—and tor long eentories it was absolutely silent —it spoke "with bated breath *nd whispering humbleness."

As for Mohammedanism, only one author throughout the whole range of Jewish literature challenged it at any length. Judaism, in fact, bears the stigmata hot so much of a superseded religion as of a suppressed religion. "You are right," says the Jew to the King of the Chazars in Jehudah ha-Levi's "Khuzari"—"you are right to reproach us with the fact that our banishment has yet borne no fruit." The stretch of eight centuries that has elapsed since this dialogue was written has not tended to lessen that reproach; and if in this day of healthy self-questioning on the part of the modern Church, the religion of the Synagogue fails to present itself «6 still a living issue, it will have sealed its doom as a world force.

SECTION 3—THE JEWISH KRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1&2&—PAGE 19

BENJAMIN LEINER Most Popular American Jew During the sweltering days that recently swept the country, -we were sitting on the shadowy verandah of an exclusive summer resort hotel. Our group consisted off a well-known American editor, a successful business man -whose lose magnificent gift to a tharity organisation had startled American Jewry, one of Broadway's most admired stag* lovers, and » young' man, immaculately dressed, whose name I did not know a& I was the last one to ju ; n the group.

It was opprwssive!v not and humid, and these gentlsiien, with one exception, seemed very ill at ease, as they complained of the almost torrid aU mosphere. The exception -was *!»"©. young man, with a very energetic f?.*e arid an air. of self-assurance, which however -3d not verge on the boastful or" arrogant. literature, theatre and politics were being discussed. The young gentleman listened attentively, nodding now and then, infrequently commenting ; - i straightforward, unaffected fashion, giving the impression tKat the subjects diseussed had constituted a great pars of his life's activities. As is usual in most groups . nowadays, the subject of the Tennessee Evolution case came up for discussion. The man who had attracted my attentio- by his simp'"city, now gave me cause for greater admiration as he expressed his views on this new outcropping of l*jotry. Leaning over to my neighbor, 1 whispered: "Who is that chap?" The answer was a hearty, though amazed, chuckle: "What, you don't know Benny! Thats' Benny Leonard, the uadefeat- J Ifghtweight "boxing champion of the worlds Now the ordinary —rial's idea ot a prize-fighter is something of a cross between a wild bull and the foreman of a piano-hoisting crew. The mental picture gives you, not a man, but a. "guy" with a brown-derby hanging at a dangerous angle, a cigar slanting up from a 45 degree angle, a scowl and — snarl shooting out. a young Niagara of well-aimec* tobacco juice.

But here is Benny Leonard, undefeated lightweight champion of the .world, the hero of many a. tough scuff1 ~ He has none of the ear marks of the professional boxer.. He is a polished individual, a tasteful dresser, arries•.himself with that graceful elegance which marks the man of the world. His tread is light and his gait carries the rhythmic sway c ' one of these Grecian athletes sculptured ' v Phidias.

His extraordinary success in the ring is in no small measure to Benny's intense study of the human anatomy.

Leonard is a scientist. Take your ordinary variety of prir- fighter, the tough-looking graduate of bar-room brawls and his knowledge of the human " d;- is no better than that of a two "week old baby. It also bawls when it has a pain in the tummy. ' Leonard knows the exact location and specific utility of every muscle in the human body. And his fighting success is not due to any exaggerated muscle development. He,Jias trained his mind to function like a smooth^ xunnitig machine in .which the slightest pressure of a button sets t h ' wheels in motio., and Bets them a-flying.

In other words, Leonard is not the usual combination of beef and brawn, without brains. He is a walking sam-

ers then licensed by the city. In 1836 he-was .made Fellow of the Eoyal Soeiety. The next year he was elected sheriff of the city of London and was knighted the same year by. Queen Victoria on her accession. In 1846 he •was created a' baronet. He died at Ramsgate, England, July 25, .1885.

"I have two interests in life now."

"My main interest ' physical culture and along with that is my interest in the stage. The two wHl go together becaus- when I am on the stage I talk and demonstrate certain phases of physical exercise. My ambition is to teach the American people that exercise is a delightful thing and that it should be ontemplated as a pleasure instead of a necessity. When I was a boxer I carried on extensive and nuiaerof-- experiments with my- body.

As a result of this, I have an intimate, accurate knowledge of the physiology of the human body. Every individual presents a different problem as far as the body is concerned.

It is unfortunate that there exists a certain amount of quackery in different physical culture systems. I refer esp "- *V to \<* highly commercial strong- me- who try to make the public believe that a person can become a Samson over night. Exereise

should r>ot be taken for the purpose ~ of developing into a strng .moan. The amount of strength that- a person needs depends upon his occupation.

My idea is to study each person.separately and prescribe a system of exercise for them with the same knowledge that I used in building up my own body.** Why should Benny Leonard with an independent fortune be concerned about the health of America? It is clear that he does not have to teach physical culture for the sake of profits. His vaudeville contract alone insures him a comfortable living. Leonards one dominant p'assion, his only ambition: and that is raising the health standard of America.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL % . - ?' s DISCOVERY IN JERUSALEM Jerusalem. (J. T. A,)' A' discovery made by a British archaeologfstr an Oxford student'and pupil of Lord Balfour,, during excavations of- the British - School of Archaeology here,- may lend weight to the pro-evolution argument m the Tennessee "anti-evolution trial. .

The front part of a primitive, human skull was discovered during excavations by Mr. Turyiile-Petre in a cave at Tabgha, near Tiberias, among Mousterian flint deposits.

The skull is characterized by a prodigious development of the supra-orbital prominences and depressed forehead as in a chimpanzee, and conforms closely with the* Neanderthal European type not previously found on the continent of Asia.

Professor Garstand, Director of ~the School, who was a witness of Mr. TurviUe-Petre's discovery, confirmed its scientific value.

Mr. Turville-Petre, formerly of Oxford, a pupil of Lord Balfour and Mr.v i^rette, is now a student at the -British School of Archaeology,.Jerusalem.

Epstein memorial?

As I see it, there is no ground for The "Rima," or perhaps I should either the wild abuse or the fiery par- call it.the Hudson Memorial, is by no tisanship which make up the present means an "atrocity.". It certainly controversy. Epstein is.one of the does not deserve the abuse that has few important sculptors living today, been levelled at it. ; It is a statue that and these can be numbered on the can very well stand without shame fingers of one hand. He is not .is in any public place, and is far bet-'

the "young man, "is" beautiful.

The.l|nes are beautiful, the upward sweep to which all the figures contribute, is beautiful. The whole panel has the direct simplicity of great art."

And so the controversy goes on.

"Brutal and hidecfus,"' "Gross," "Primitive and Polynesian," "Alien to English taste," are some of the epithets applied to the memorial in the press, and the Observer adds that "those who have criticised the prettypretty in art may now do what they can with the ugly-ugly."

Of course, the fact that Epstein is a Jew has also come into the argument. "Epstein's" work is Oriental in . its fundamental conception,'? says one critic, "and Hudson's spirit was essentially English.. It seems odd.that an artist of Epstein's sympathies should .have been chosen to celebrate Hudson's life work." ' | The editorial writer in the Daily Graphic, who is on the whole favorable to Epstein, says: "Epstein is a Jew.,and he has the Jewish genius for abstract ideas and sheer stark logic. An intellectual with whom life is an expression of ideas. Hudson is the antithesis of those things."

Tfie- serious professional a r t critics - -2 are"; most of them admirers of Ep- 2j stein's work and very few of them . 5 condemn the panel- utterly. All, of —

them, however, agree t h a t i t is inap-- £• propriate for its purpose. The a r t E: critic of the Daily Telegraph, Mr. W. S K. Tatlock, writes: "The first thing 5 to be said is t h a t the sculptor has = entirely failed to interpret the spirit 5 of Hudson. If we took Michelangelo's = "David" from its place- i i r Florence •* S ancTput it in Hyde P a r k and called i t S a Hudhon Memorial, i t would still.re-" = main: a" great work of art^ b u t it would •_ E have been out of place.

' s Mr. Frank Rutter, one of the pio- 5 xieers of the modernist a r t movement = in England, and the critic of the Sun- = day Times, writes: "The t r u t h is that = Hudson and Epstein are opposites and 2 irreconcilables. If we can forget Hud- £ son and regard Epstein's new work = simply as his own expression, then I 5 think we must admit that it is an = expressive and impressive work of g r e a t power and originality." s Mr. P .

In 5 another place, Mr. Konody writes of .s the panel t h a t "it may have failed a s - 5 an instant popular success,, b u t i t will ; prove itself sculpture under the- acid 5 t e s t of time." jj Mr. R.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL , DISCOVERY IN JERUSALEM Jerusalem. (J. T. A.) A discovery made by a British archaeologfttr"an Oxford student'and pupil of Lord Balfour* during excavations of• the British School of Archaeology here,. lend weight to the pro-eyolution arv guinent in the Tennessee anti-evolution trial.

The front part of a: primitive: human skull was discovered during excaVati«ns by Mr. Turville-Petre in a cave at Tabgha, near Tiberias, among Mousterian flint deposits.

The skull is characterized by a prodigious development of the supra-orbital prominences and depressed forehead as in a chimpanzee, and conforms closely with the'Neanderthal European type not previously found on the continent of Asia.

Professor Garstand, Director of-nhe School," who was a witness of Mr. Turville-Petre's discovery,:. confirmed its scientific value.

Mr. Turville-Petre, formerly of Oxford, a pupiJ of Lord Balfour and Mr.x f-vrette, is now a student at the British. School of Archaeology, salem, ' .,

Religious orders have been permitted to parade in Washington and, rightly so. But this order uses religion for irreligious purposes.

MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT COOLIDGE

in most cordial terms and most hopefully of the agreement.

"One warning is necessary," Mr. Wolf stated. "A new condition of things is not possible immediately.

The Jewish problem in Poland is not of a political but of a psychological nature, and it is necessary to create confidence on both sides. The Polish constitution is a most liberal one and the law denies nothing to Poland's Jewish citizens. Anti-Semitism, however, has defied the law and kept Jews in a position which could not be worse if the Jews were subjected to the greatest legal disabilities.

"The institution for which we are today dedicating this splendid home is not a charity to minister* to the body, but rather to the soul. The Jews who live in this Capitol City have passed tmder the favoring auspices of American institutions, beyond the need of any other benevolence. They are planting here a home for community service, fixing a center from which shall go forth the radiations of united effort for-advancement in culture, in education and social opportunity. Here will be the seat of organized influence for the preservation of and dissemination of all that is best and most useful, of all that is leading and enlightening in the culture and philosophy of this 'peculiar people' who have so greatly given to the advancement of humanity.

JEWISH EMIGRATION FROM EUROPE RETURNING TO NORMAL, ICA REPORTS London. (J. T. A.) Emigration from Europe to America has largely diminished as a result of the American immigration restriction law, according to a report submitted by the lea to the annual meeting of the Anglo Jewish Association.

Emigration from Europe is going back to its normal proportions, the report of the lea further states. Only 20,000 Jews emigrated from Europe during the first six months of this year. The number of emigrants who need financial assistance is consequently much smaller. The emigration situation will soon reach such a state where the assistance of the lea will be required only in providing passport facilities, the purchaser of tickets and general advice. Thirty Jewish refugees stranded in Eastleigh are proceeding to Argentine, where they will settle in one of the lea's colonies, according to the report.

POLISH CONSTITUTION '" DENIES NOTHING TO JEWISH CITIZENS London. (J. T. A.) The concluded Polish Jewish agreement found an echo at a meeting of the Anglo Jewish Association when Mr. Lucien Wolf, Secretary of the Joint Foreign Committee, reported to this body the results of his visit to Poland a short time ago.

'There are good prospects that the long suffering Jewish community in Poland will at last be able to live a happy and peaceful life in their native Beirut (J. T. A.)

CHAPTER H—Sellna secures a position aa teacher at the HlBh Prairie 'school, in the outskirts of Chicago, living at the home of a truck farmer, Klaas Pool. In Koelf, twelve years old. son of Klaas, Selina perceives a kindred spirit, a lover of beauty, like herself. ; \ CHAPTER III.—The monotonous life of a country school-teacher at that time, is Selina's. brightened somewhat by the companionship ot the sensitive, . artistic, boy Roelf.

Sellnn:—and t i e whole congregation •unashamedly watching—could Indeed see how he made with his head no. His whole body seemed set in negation— the fine head, the broad patient'shoulders, the muscular powerful legs in •their ill-fitting Sunday blacks. He shook his head, gathered up the reins, and drove away, leaving the Widow Paarlenberg to carry off with such bravado as she could muster this public- flouting in full sight of the Dutch Eeformed congregation of High Prairie. It must be said that she actually

In desperatloq Selina placed her bun 'die'on the';froor*ln a' corner, 's'mootliecr down the red cashmere, snatched up her lunch box and made for the doorway with the childish eagerness of one out of the crowd to be In It. She wondered where Maartje and'Klaas Pool were in this dose-packed roomful; and Roelf. In the doorway she found that broad black-coated backs shut off sight and Ingress. She had- written her name neatly on her lunch box. Now she was at a loss to;find a way. to reacli Vdam Ooms. She. eyed .the.great-shou! ' lered expanse just ahead of her.

Who has eaten Widow Paarlenberg's cake once don't have to know. What am I bid on Widow Paarlenberg's basket! What am I bid! Whatmlbldwhatmlbldwhatmlbid!" (Crash)!

The widow herself, very handsome in black silk, her gold neck chain rising and falling richly with the little flurry that now agitated her broad bosom, was seated in a chair against the wall not five- feet; from the 'auctioneer's stand. She bridled now, blushed, cast down her eyes, cast up her eyes, succeeded in looking as unconscious as a complaisant Turkish slave girl on the block.

Adam Ooms' glance swept the hall until it readied the tall figure towerIng In the doorway—reached it, and rested there. His gimlet eyes seemed to bore their-way into Pervus DeJong's steady "stare. He raised, his right arm aloft," brandishing the potato masher. Tlr' whole room fixed its gaze on the blond head in the doorway.

"Speak up! ' Young men of High Prairie! Heh, you, Pervus DeJong!

Wbatadbldwhatmlbldwhatmlbld!" **"lfty cents!" The bid came from JVsrrlt Pon at the other end of the hall.

A dashing offer, as a start, in this district where one dollar often represented the profits on a whole load of market truck brought to the city.

Pervus DeJong, standing beside Sellna, viewed the proceedings with an air of detachment. High Prairie was looking ut him expectantly,' openly. The widow bit her red lip, tossed her head. Pei> vus DeJong returned the auctioneer's meaning smirk with the mild gaze of a disinterested outsider.

"Gents!" Adam Ooms' voice took on a tearful note—the tone of one who Is more hurt .than angry. ''Gents!"

Slowly, with infinite reverence, he lifted one corner of the damask clotli that concealed the hamper's contents—lifted It and peered within as at a treasure.

Kt what he saw1 there he started back dramatically,' at once rapturous, despairing, amazedT He rolled his eres.

He smacked his lips. He rubbed his stomach. The sort of dumb show that, since the days of the Greek drama, has been used to denote gastronomic delight."' ' ;„ "Eighty!" was wrenched suddenly from Goris Von'Tuuren, the nineteen-. year-Old fat and gluttonous son of a prosperous New Haarlem fanner.

Adam Ooms rubbed brisk palms'together. "Now "then! A dollar! A dollar! It's an insult to this basket to make it less th'aii a dollar." He leuned

far forwarflover his Improvised pulpit "Did I hear you say a dollar, Pervns DeJong?"" DeJong stared, Immovable, unabashed. "Eigbty^eighty-elghty-elghty —gents 1 Tm going to tell you something, i'migolng to whisper a secret" His lean face was veined with craftiness. "Gents. Listen. It isn't chicken in this beautiful basket It Isn't chicken. It's"—a dramatic pause— "It's" roast duck!" He swayed back, mopped his brow with his red handkerchief, held one hand high In the air.

Gents! Gen-tle-men! Eighty-five once1!

Eighty-five—twice!" (Crash)! "Gone to Goris Von Vnuren for eighty-five."

A-etga went up from the assemblage; a sigh that was the wind before the storm. There followed a tornado of talk. It crackled and thundered. The rich Widow Paarlenberg would have to eat her supper with Von Vnuren's boy, the great thick Goris. And there In the doorway, talking to teacher as if they had known each other for years. was Pervus DeJong with his money, in his pocket. It was as good as a play.

Adam Ooms was angry. His lean, fox-like face became pinched with spite.

He prided himself on his antics as auctioneer; and his chef d'oeuvre had brought a meager eighty-five cents, be^ sides doubtless winning him the enmity of that profitable store customer, the Widow Paarlenberg. Goris Von Vuuren came forward to claim his prize amidst shouting, • clapping, laughter.

The great hamper was handed down to him.

When he stood upright once more he was smiling. His little eyes gleamed.

It was on this Pervus DeJong, then,that. the Widow Paarlenberg of the. rich acres, the comfortable farmhouse, the gold neck chain, the silk gowns, the soft white hands and the cooking talents,' had set her affections, She wooed him openly, notoriously," and with a\Dutch vehemence that would have" swept another man off hip feet.

It was known that she sent him a weekly baking of cakes, pies and bread. She tricked, cajoled, 6r nagged him Into eating her ample meals. She even niked his advice—that subtlest form of flattery. -She asked him about sub-soiling, humus, ^ rotation—she Xvnbse rich land yielded, * underT her shrewd management, more profitably tdUhe single acre than to any ten of P,ervus\ Feeling that the entire community was urging him toward this profitable match with the plump, rich, red-lipped widow, Pervus set his will like a stubborn steer and would havev none of her. He was uncomfortable In his, untidy house; he was lonely, he w'ns unhappy. But he would liave none of her. Vanity, pride, resentment - were all mixed up In It. The very first time tn,at Pervus DeJong met Selina he had a chance to prptect her. With such A'start," the end was Inevitable. Then,-too,-Sellna had on tile \vlne-colored_ cashmere nnd was trying hard to'keep-the tears back In.fuII view of the whoje pf High; Prairie.- Urged by Maartje (and rather' fancying the Idea) .Se^na; had atLtended the great meeting and dance ' a t Adam Ooms'nall abovathe general

might see. The eyes of those before him still held a. mental picture of the huge' hamper, food-packed, that 'had just been handed down. The contrast was too absurd, too cruel. A ripple of laughter swept the room; rom;; swelled to a roar. Adam Ooms waited with a nice sense of the dramatic until the laughter had readied its height, then held up a hand for silence. A great scraping "Ahem!" as he cleared his throat threatened to send the crowd off again.

"Ladies—and gents 1 Here's a dainty little tidbit. Here's something not only for the Inner man, but a feast for the eye. Well, boys, if the last lot was too much for you this lot ought to be just about right If the food ain't quite enough for you, you can tie the ribbon In the lady's hair and put the posy In your bottonhole and there you are.

There you are! What's more, the lady herself goes with i t You.don't get a country girl with this here box, gents.

A city girl, you can tell by looking at it, just And who is she? Who did up this dainty little box just big enough for two?" He inspected it again, solemnly, and added, as an afterthought, '.If you ain't feeling specially hungry.

Who?—" He looked about, aplshly.

Selina's cheeks matched her gown.
