ADMINISTRATION IS
PRAISED BY LIPSKY
(Jewish   Telcgrtipliic   Agency)
VIENNL'X. — Thc Fourteenth Zioiii.st Congress had two great moments oi thc third day when two Americans ad¬ dressed the Congress.
The Zionist assembly listened with great attention to a statement read by Louis Lipsky, chairman of thc Zionist Organization of America, on behalf of the American  Zionist  delegation.
"The American Zionist delegation has observed with gratilication the new tone of the deliberations at the Congress which shows a sense of immediate and inescapable duty and a' desire to get away from romanticism. Today, our thinking influences matters of tremen- dpus social .and economic import and is bound to change the aspects of Jew¬ ish life."
Weizmann Exalted'
Describing the successful activities of the Zionist institutions in America, Mr. Lipsky stated that the Zionist move¬ ment in America may serve as a guide to Zionist groups in other lands. Mr. Lipsky, expressing confidence in thc Weizmann administration, paid a high tribute to the statesmanship and leader¬ ship of Dr. Weizmann. "We appreciate the services of Dr. Chaim Weizmann more <lceply because during thc general debate little interest has been shown in the service performed by Dr. Weizmann under heavy difficulties and responsibili¬ ties with a lack of materials and Dr. Weizmann practically led thc Zionist Organization since the beginning of the war, he has developed the ( ganization into one which may boast funds, institutions and departments which have all' the aspects of govern¬ ment work. Dr. Weizmann has" given the ntovcmcnt undivided service of .the highest quality without a mom faltering and the performance of duties which had more value than that of any other Zionist leader since the beginning of the movement. The present Zionist administration has succeeded in estab¬ lishing the Zionist Organization corporate body with a recognized politi¬ cal status, with dignity and self-respect,'' ^Ir. Lipsky declared. A particularly strong impression was . made upon the Congress by the criti- (Cottcluded on page 4)

Super-Service Is Given The Patients at Pioneer Tuberculosis Sanitorium
Our   Special   Correspondent    Writes
Enthusiastically  of  Lifc-Savini;
Work Being Carried on at
National Jewish Hospital.
DENVER, COLO. (Special Corres¬ pondence) —"4'2:i pounds of childhood —the equivalent of 50 normal babies at birth —came into the world at the National Jewish Hospital for Consump- Vcs at Denver during thc past year." I heard the statement one evening last week—and expresswl my astonishment. For like thousands of other friends of thc National Jewish " Hospital, I knew that for more than twenty-five years this pioneer Jewish philanthropy has bccii the life-saving refuge of thousands of sufferers from tuberculosis—that the National Jewish Hospital accepted with¬ out cost, only men and women suffer¬ ing from tuberculosis in all stages, and children predisposed to the disease. So, having an hour or two at my disposal, i decided to investigate, and at the hospital I learned thc whole story, a story of tender helpfulness, of loving devotion to helpless, handicapped chil¬ dren.
For, instead of babies, gurgling hap¬ pily in their cribs, I was shown the medical records of the forty children who- have been discharged from the Hofheimer Building of the National Jewish Hospital during the year end¬ ing June 30th, 102,5, and there I found the 432 pounds of boy-and-girlhood that had been brought into the world during the year.
I saw other children who had come to takjE thc places of the forty who had left—enfeebled bits of humanity, all predisposed to tuberculosis and below normal in their resistance to the dis¬ ease, boys and girls handicapped at the very threshold of life.
As I watched these little patients at play and at rest, fighting valiantly to overcome the dangers of thc blight of tuberculosis which overshadowed their lives, and then studied the histories of those chidren wlio have already re¬ ceived the full measure of the hospital's service, the conviction grew on me that here, indeed in saving handicapped chil¬ dren for the future in giving them the promise of' health and strength which had been withheld from them, was work of the very noblest idealism.
Forty children were discharged from the Hofheimed Building during the last fiscal year of the Hospital. As each left, another child was admitted imme¬ diately, for there is a long waiting, list of boys and girls from all parts of the country who need the hospital care. All of the children admitted are predis¬ posed to tuberculosis; some few have tuberculous infections of bones and joints. Of the forty children discharged during the year, some had been in the hospital for more than two years. For others, three or four months of the health-giving treatment was sufficient to bring up to normal their resistive powers. The average length of stay for each child was ten and one-half months. The children ranged in age from five to fourteen years. The weight gain for the group was 422 pounds.
Hofheimer Building a Super-Home
The respon.se of the children to the Hospital's service is almost immediate. Practically all of the children shoi weight gains within the first week of their residence in the Hofheimer Build-
'<; their emaciated little bodies littfr- ally reach ont and absorb all the health content  of their  environment.    All  of
hich is most encouraging to the hos¬ pital authorities in their work ing little children from thc ravages of tuberculosis. But of utmost significai is thc degree in which they respond the Hospital program. The children discharged last year showed a forty- seven per cent greater gain in weight than the expected gain for normal chil¬ dren of the same ages. On the basis of these figures the Hofheimer Preven¬ torium might well be called a super- home, for it gives the children it shel¬ ters health and strength in a degrct that is almost 50 per cent greater than that given normal children in their own homes.

RETURNS FROM AN
INVESTIGATION TOUR
NEW YORK.—A very sad picture of Jewish conditions in Europe, particu¬ larly in Polaiid and in Lithuania, is painted by Mr. John L.' Bernstein, pres¬ ident of the Hebrew Sheltering and Im¬ migrant Aid Society of ¦ America (IIIAS) who has just returned from Europe whither he went in the interest of Jewish wanderers and refugees. Mr. Bernstein made a first-hand study of conditions in France, Germany, Poland, Latvia, Danzig anri other countries. He has returned back absolutely broken¬ hearted as a result of what he saw.
Mr. Bernstein will issue a complete report .of his studies and conclusions, first presenting them, however, to thc board of directors of Hias.
In a preliminary statement, Mr. Bern¬ stein said:

RABBI BENJAMIN WERNE
Rabhi Wernc, who has been thc spirit¬ ual leader of tlie Tifereth Israel congre¬ gation on East Broad Street during the past three years, has been called to sire over the destinies of the Jamaica Jewish Center in Greater New York.
The   rabbi   accepted   the   call   to   t Center because of the broader field  for educational  and .religious  work obtai ing there.
Before   coming   to   Columbus   Rabbi

The Ohio Jewish Chronicle keenly regrets the departure of this brilliant, young theologian and trusts that continued endeavors in the East will be fruitful of much success.
Council Makes Holiday Observance Appeal to Colleges in the U. S.
Drive Renewed For Securing Cooper¬ ation of Schools and Universities In Avoiding Examinations On Holidays.
.\'EW YORK CITY. A joint appeal has been issued for. the National Council of Jewish Women, by Mrs. Edwin Zugsmith of Pittsburgh, National Chair-
of the Committee on Religion, and Mrs. Cicor Greenebaum of Cincinnati, National Chairman of the Comniittee on Education, asking for the co-opera¬ tion, of the schools, colleges and uni- versitics in avoiding examinations or the Jewish holydays throughout the coming year, beginning with the holy- days in the months of September and
October. This drive is a contiriuation '«=^Kars description.

formulated. The thorough distribution of these Council holyday calendars will be ensured through the assistance of the local Chairman of Re¬ ligion and Education in the 228 Sections of the National Council of Jewish Women. Wherever the appeal of last spring has been disregarded or remained unheeded, the local committee will exert every effort to secure consideration and operation on the part of the officials of schools and colleges.
Thc Committee on Education, supple¬ mented by the Committee on Junior Auxiliaries will be in constant relation to the pupils of the schools and the students'of the' colleges, through" their activities during the coming year. Committee on Education through "School Friend" plan, exercises very careful supervision over Jewish boyi and girls in the public schools who arc experiencing difficulties in their school careers, either because of their lack of preparation or because of family prob¬ lems. Tutoring and personal guidance are supplied when necessary, and con- flitions in the home are bettered. Penny Luncheon Systems and Milk Stations are established in schools that reveal a number of undernourished children. Scholarship funds are also utilized keep children in school, and to enable them to continue their education instead of entering industry at an early Pupils that reveal unusual talents ^rc encouraged through scholarships that insure them special training in the field of their interest.
Students at colleges will be invited to meet with the Council Juniors, and to participate in their activities. On the files of the Colleges, libraries, the stu¬ dents will find "The Jewish Woman," the quarterly publication of the Na- ing them in touch with the best minds aniong the Jewish womanhood of America. A national scholarship will also be announced, to be available to a young woman in college, who desires to prepare herself for service in the Coun¬ cil's Department of Farm and Rural Work.
the prices of commodities are higher than in America. An idea of the high cost of living may be gathered from the fact that in a cheap restaurant in War- small portion of gefiUtc fish cost 80 cents in American money and the price charged to the War¬ saw people and not to foreigners. A small portion of meat costs 65 cents in American money.
very rare to come across in Warsaw a Jew whose clothes are whole or who has not a pair of patched shoes. Jews are going in tatters and the misery, is indelibly impressed upon every face. They all have a look of desolation and of starvation.
"Under such circumstances, it is not at all surprising that Jewish emigration should have increased so much recently.
"Since the number who can come to America is limited, owing to the quota, emigrants go anywhere, even without finding any prospects ahead of them.
"A large number go to Palestint and the Palestine bureau in Warsaw does very good work in this connection. Others go to Argentine, Brazil, France, to any place where the door is only open. Conditions are indescribable, and if this stream of emigration is not reg¬ ulated in time, a catastrophe may be ex¬ pected to happen."
Mr. Bernstein described similar condi¬ tions  existing  in  Lithuania and  neigh¬ boring countries and he said that per¬ haps with the exception of the evacua- '^oncluded on  fape 4)
