^trauss in a program of novel quality, but the old familiar medium of lauda¬ tion—the set speech—will be barred,, ab¬ solutely.
The committee in charge of the din¬ ner includes close to two hundred prom¬ inent bankers, nationally known mer¬ chants, philanthropists, educators, dom¬ inant figures in the amusement world, judges, lawyers and writers. • To some of these, Mr. Strauss has been "financial advisor"; to others "busi¬ ness consultant", and to all a devoted and helpful friend. In the words of the invitation issued by the committee, Mr. Strauss has to his credit ten years of "Singularly Useful'Life" in New York City with "an unparalleled record of brilliant and successful service in behalf of American Philanthropy, the American Actor and Artist, the American Busin Man, and the Nation."
Colonel William M. Chadbourne, distinguished member of the New York Bar, is Chairman of the Comniittee; Felix M. Warburg of the great banking house of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, and Mrs. Oliver Harriman, President of the Campfire Girls, are Vice-Chairmen, and 'Joseph F. Cullman, Jr., prominent among New York merchants, is the treasurer.
it is interesting to note that' Mr. Strauss has been the directing force in many of the great national public serv¬ ice movcmeijts and philanthropies of the last ten years. As creator of the "In¬ visible Guest" in lihe memorable cam¬ paign conducted by tlie Hon. Herbert Hoover for the starving children of Europe; of the "Avenue of the Allies" which paved tlie way to the phenomenal success of the Fourth Liberty Loan, aud otiier ingenious appeals to patriotism and human sympathy, Mr. Strauss haps inspired more good and stimulating copy for the newspapers of the country than any other man or agency in modern American life.
Movement to Modify Immigration Law Is Started in New York
Congressman Pcrlman Introduces Bill for Admitting asNon-Quota Im¬ migrants Near  Relatives of Citizens and Declarants     '.
NEW YORK—The American-Jewish JCongress has initiated an active propa¬ ganda in favor of an amendment present immigration law providing for admitting as non-quota immigrants wives, children, fathers and moth American citizens as well as wives and children of permanent residents who have declared their intentions of becom¬ ing citizens. ^
Congressman Nathan- D. Pe'rli New York, who is chairman of the Im-
igration Committee of the -American- Jewish Congress, has already introduced in Congress a bill embodying the above provisions. Mr. Perlman is optimistic with regard to the prospects of his bill being passed, as many high officials in the government are favorable to the pro¬ posed'changes in'the immigration law on the ground that the present quota strictions work undue hardships in separation of families.
The movement in New York in s port of Congressman Perlman's bill assumed large proportions. It is being sponsored by the Jewish Council of New York, which has called a convention all New York Jewish organizations- for Sunday, JanuarylOth. In the evening of the same date, there will be held a larg« mass meeting' in Carnegie Hall as a demonstration on the part of New York Jewry in favor of modification of the harsh provisions of the immigration law.
CINCIN'NATI, OHIO,  (J. T. A.)—
The first aid for sufferers of the recent
bombardment   of   Damascus   will  come
from  America, according to a decision
of   tlie   Executive   Committee   of   the
Independent Order  U'uai  B'rith,  which
begun  its ow day annual  meeting here

•tion  of   Alfred   M.  Cohen,  president
nf the organization, in sending financial
help to Damascus Jews upon receipt ro-
intly of a cablegram from the Damas-
is Lodge of the I. O. B. B. describing
their plight.
The Executive Comihittet meeting the first held under the presidency of Mr. Cohen, who was elected last sum¬ mer. For the next five years, Cincin¬ nati will be the center of the national and international activities of the I. O.  B.  B.
The Committee was unanimous in its support of the sending by Mr. Cohen of delegates to the Philadclphii Baltimore conferences. Mr. Cohen had taken the stand that the B'nai B'rith should cooperate both with the Phila¬ delphia group, and the Baltimore con¬ ference called by the Zionists. Henry Monsky, of Omaha, Nebraska, and Judge A. B. Frey, of St. Louis, led in an interesting ^discussion of the ques¬ tion. At the conclusion, a resolution was adopted expressing the B'nai B'riths desire of lending close cooperation to all Jewish organizations and. endorsing Mr. Cohen's action. A resolution urg¬ ing the- support of all B'nai B'rith lodges  for the  world court movement
cities was adopted. Speakt expressed the opinion that the entrance of the United States into the world court would be a great step toward ac¬ complishing the Jewish ideal of peace. Rabbi Martin Zielonka, of EI Paso, Texas, presented a report on Jewish edu¬ cation among the immigrants of Mexico City. After a visit to Mexico City, Rabbi Zielonka's conclusion was that there was no need for establishing spe¬ cial all day school's for Jewish students, iupplementary Hebrew School would be sufficient, he stated. He found that Mexico  City  has a splendid  university

It is gratifying to hear that the children are improving in physical    stature,    they    are    growing stouter and stronger aad show a greater alertness in their work.    In comparison with what many of. these children home, these meals are sumptous meals, and tlie joy of eating with "teachei tlie table cannot be described.   What fun the children' have cooking and preparing the food.    One of the visitors to the Tiberias   luncheons   writes   from   Pal¬ estine :   "When I arrived four boys and one girl were pealing potatoes and I told that the one girl had only forced her way into' the fascinating occupation because  she  was  liirge  enough aside her male rivals."   The same visitor writes again:   "In every room the prin¬ cipal  asked:   'Who wants to learn cook?'    There  was  a  shout   from  the girls:    'All of us!'    In one class little boys also wanted to learn how to cook.    The  principal  explained that they were motlierless and they kept house for several little brothers and outside of school hours." ; is hoped that the children of Amer- will give so generously this Chamu- kali that tlie number of schools can be doubled    where    the    Penny    School Luncheons are served.    Small sums of money can make up the $6,000 needed for the Penny School Luncheon Fund this year.

The resolution adopted by the Sub-Committee on Adult and University Education of which Dr. H. G. Endow of New York is chairman, is as follows: ,''In regard to University Education, the Committee would like to call attention to the importance of this subject as a whole. It feels that the best service that might be rendered at the present time to the cause of Jewish work at the Uni¬ versities would be the bringing about of unification of the work. To this end it would seem most desirable to effect an understanding among , the different agencies which at present are trying to do work at the Universities with, and in behalf of Jewish students and Judaism.
