j Wanted—'More Laughs
The "gag*' business which is such a staple of tiie niodcrn columnist's trade is ill bad straits. It is all due to excessive prosperity, Thc columnist who can de¬ liver a column full of k^Ks per day can command in New York a mininitun of half a thousand a week. The result has been a keen com|)etition iti digging up the laugh material. Old gags are dusted off, polished up ami put forth as new and even Walter Winchell, generally, recog¬ nized as supreme in the gag line has been forced to resort to lelcgram.-; to , keep his supply replenished. Winchell has been sending out telegrams of late requesting gags.
And AI Jolson, it is said, has a man
in New York, whose sole business is to
wire him, no matter where Jol.son may
hcj any good hiftv that has been sprung.
It Looked Black For White
A couple of decades ago, a man who indulged in gags to excess was looked upoli askance, lie was a loafer. No good would conic of him. Today, he is an expert, and can dictate hi.^ oWn terms. The loafer hati at last come into his own in many ways. There is George White, for instance. George is a Jewish boy, who was not only looked upon as a hjafer, but was regarded a.s heing a can¬ didate for the loafer championship. His university, was thc pool room,. He ^vent through all the classes there graduating cum laude.
Everybody predicted that George would spclid the major part of his adult life in jail. Instead, George being a .good psyciioldgist decided that a lot of people are loafers indeed, that most of us want to be loafers. So he launched "The Scandals." Totlay George White's "Scandals" arc'^as much a part of New York as 2icgfeld's follies. George thinks he is still loafing. He is, but it is pay¬ ing him heavy dividends^
The Market And thc Synagogue
The recent debacle on the stock ex¬ change recalls the famous Northern Pacific panic, which . is generally re¬ garded as one of the worst in American history. Strange to say, the Jewish synagogue figured in that panic.
If Jacob Schiff had not been in the synagogue; that Saturday, perhaps there would have been'a .different ending to that great clash between Harriman and Hill, which eventuated in the great panic. A very good account of that
¦ financial battle is given, by the way, in Mark Sullivan's *'Our Times."
It seems from that account that; Har-
- rinian telephoned the banking .firm of
Schiff to buy 40,000 niorc shares of.
stock in the Northern Pacific. ScliifT
had already in his possession many hiin-
¦ dred thousand, sliares and figured that .. enough. Harriman thought differently ! and tried to get in touch with Schiff,
but Schiff was "davcning,'* in the syna¬ gogue as Jewisli banker.s used to do in those days. .
. At any rate, the fight resulted in a deadlock between the Harriman interests, supported by Schiff and the Hill inter¬ ests, financed by Morgan.
Did You know? ¦That a young Jewish, fiiiaiicier, in his thirties, is contemplating soon the erec¬ tion of a building of one hundred stories, which will outdo by some twenty fiights the mammoth building, being erected un- . derthe supervision of Al Smith?
That 80 iier cent of the buihiers of New York City are Jewish.
That the: Yeshivah has no regular graduating classes or time, and thc wouhl-be rabbis there must wait until Dr. Revel decides that they are .{|nalified to assume the jKist of rahhis.
That it is, whispered that one of the reasons for Or. Louis I. Newman's com¬ ing to New York is his hope of pushing the movchii^m for a Jewish university to a successful con.'summation.
That you have to .search with a micro¬ scope 'for a Jewish member of the faculty of New York University, ahhougli the two largest gifts to the iii.<;titution last year were made by Jews.
That in order to obtain a position on the faculty of the sccidar division of the Yeshivali college one must be either a one hundred per cent observing Jew or a Christian. No un-orthodox Jews are allowed.
That Meyer T.eviii, Chicago newspa¬ perman, who authored "Reporter" is now ill Palestine.
That a descendant of La Porite, tlie fa¬ mous Jewisii Cassanova, about Whom re¬ cently a volume was i.iisued, is a lawyer in Seattle.
She is Disappointed Maybe yon don't kiTow who Doris Fleischigan is. Well, she is a counsellor of public relations, which is a glorified way of saying "press, agent." And she is a good one. Moreover, she is thc au¬ thor of a book, "Careers For Women." And moreover again, she is the wife of Edward L. Bernays, who is regarded ns one of tlie inonarchs of publicitv and Bernays incidentally is a relation of Sig- . raund Freud.
But what I was going to tejl you is that Miss Fleischman has juat written an article in which she declares that wo¬ men, despite all the feminist eriiancipa- tion, do - not amount to much in the world at large, lii the bnsiness world, she declares, women have succet^ded only in rare and outstanding instances. And Miss Fleischman is very much disturbed at this. Women seem to "clevelop into what are known as "the right hand man of, the boss." but tbey seldom become partners iu the husii\ess or the boss.
We are not so worried. We hope if we ever have a wife that she will be the da|Ughtcr of the president of the Ohio Kiupered Herrine Factory or the Colo¬ rado Smelter Works rather than the president herself. But who knows'what will happen a hundred years from now. I daresay. Miss Fleischnian's hopes may yet come true.

The well-known aim of the organiation is to foster ami nourish interest in Jewish culture among the college youth of American Israel- It is believed that by embracing thc dra matic field, thc society will be able to afford greuter outlet for the will to do and achieve a greater spirit of-entbusi- asra'in its members.
No admission will be charged for the entertainment; invitations will- be ex¬ tended. Mr. Samuel Gtiehman is direct-, ing the Menorah Players.
Like father or son may or may not be a truism with little truth, but one can hardly say that Sam A. Lewisohii, who lias just been named cbairnian of Gov¬ ernor Kooscvclt's commis.sion to njake a preliminary investigation and suggest necessary legislation for the Governor's lay parole court, is.living on thc reputa¬ tion of his father, Adolph Lcwisolm. Thc younger l.ewisohn has for. many year.s been one of the outstanding advo¬ cates of prison rctorin. lie is \\o\^ a member of thc stale correction comihis- .sion. Long an active civic worker he bri.s been an able and staunch proixment of' non-partisan politics in New York. Rut his greatest claim to fame is bis chauipionslii|> of democracy in industry. One might .-^Imost say be is the daddy of modern industrial democracy. Sam Lewisohn has fought long and hard to make American big business men and employers see the error of their old- fashioned and harsh nlethods of dealing with, labor. Much of the new attitude on the part of employers towards em¬ ployes can )>c traced to the social-minded endeavors of Sain A. Lewisohn,
The old-fashioned iwlitical boss is fast dying out but in Cleveland Maurice Maschke still runs the. town in his i>e- culiarly eiifective way. For more than a generation his word has been law in political circles of Cleveland. When, Cleveland fihally turned to a city man¬ ager government the reformers thought Maschke had, come to his political end. But only recently the city manager was ousted as the result of a political feud. , Many political soothsayers profess to see the hand of Maschke iii the ousting. And . the hand that has made and unmade so many politicians and statesmen may well have liad something to do with it. ' * isclikc has long been a factor in na-
I lal Republican circles. An adequate
I ome from his law practice and the ,
lization that there is more fun being ' ; boss than the bossed has kept \s\a\
II nn accepting any piiblic office other ' n Ohio's member of thc Republican
ional coinmittee and a regular delcr I c's job to all Republican riational con- iitioiis. His political machine in Cleve'- nd still lives and^ as long as it.func¬ us well Maschke'is a power and gets o the headlines.
L M. RUBINOW
A rare opportunity to hear au extraor¬ dinary mail will present itself . Sunday morning at 11 o'clock at the B'nai B'rith Hillei l^oundatioii, IHi liast 18th Ave¬ nue, when Dr. Isaac Max Rubinow, statistician, social worker, and interna- tional secretary of the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, will speak on some phase of the Order's work. As thc suc¬ cessor to the ncver-to-be-fdrgotten Dr. Boris D. Bcgen, Rubinow is shouldering tremendous responsibilities and. is con¬ fronted with herculean tasks. There is no question, however, but that, he \vill (h'scliarge hi.'; duties with skill and ef- fici;:ncy, for lie is one of thc outstanding men in his field in the entire laud. Dr. Rubinow was born April IMth, 187ii, in Grodno, Russia, thc son of Max Sifflor and Esther (Scercshewsky) Rubinow Me received his A..B. degree at Colum¬ bia University in IW)'), and studied polit¬ ical science at this institution during thc years 11*00 and l!)0;i. He received the degree of M. D. at thc University Medi¬ cal College of New York University in 18!)8. In 1!J14 he received the degree of Ph. \y. at Columbia University. On July ftth, 18!J!*, he was marrie<l to Sophie liimowich. He has had. au extraordi¬ narily interesting career as a writer, pub¬ licist, physician, and lecturer. All Chronicle readers as well as stuilents al OIlio State University are cordially in¬ vited to livar Dr. Rubinow Sunday morn¬ ing. This is a privilege eminently worth-
hilc.

Smith and " member of Smith's fanious kitchen (inet which included Mrs. Henry Mor- rvitz and Judge Proskauer has just .iw ve-clected chairman of the State Council of Parks. For many'years Mo¬ ses has fought to prevent the hoggish property owners on Long Island from keeping" the state from bqyiug'^up pros-., pective land. The I'astly important re¬ organization of the state, departments carried out under the administration of Governor S^i'th was preceded by an in¬ vestigation of a "comniission headed by Moses. .Mways active in politics he has been one of the leaders of the indepetid- ciit faction in New Vork which has led in the various' fusion movements.
Canadian Jews are all expectant at the thought that a Jew is to be appointed to the Canadian Senate. In the Domin¬ ion, Senators are appointed and for life. , The man most often mentioned as likely to he the first Jew to sit in thc Canadian Senate is A. J. Freimun of Ottawa. Freiinan has three distinct claims to fame. In the' first place he is one of, the wealthiest Jews' in the Dominion and his department store in the country's capital is known throughout the Dominion. Then he is the best known Zionist in Canada, lie has just been elected for the tenth time to the presidency of the Caiiadiaii Zionist Organization. His po¬ litical co'nncclions, too, are of the best. It is said that he is one of the most in¬ timate friends of Prime Minister Mac¬ kenzie King. As a frequent and gener¬ ous contributor' to philanthropies of all kinds he has become hnown to many sec¬ tions of the Canadian popula.ce.

Central Ohio's Only Jewish Newspaper Reaching Every Home A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FOR THE JEWISH HOME Devoted to Anierican and Jewish Ideals Vol. XIII —No. 9 COLUMHUS, OirrO, FJ^IVRUARY 28, KA^o Per Year $3.00; Per Copy toc Scantiing the Horizon By DAVID SCHWARTZ All Arrangements Completed For Junior Hadassah Ba¬ zaar Wednesday j Wanted—'More Laughs The "gag*' business which is such a staple of tiie niodcrn columnist's trade is ill bad straits. It is all due to excessive prosperity, Thc columnist who can de¬ liver a column full of k^Ks per day can command in New York a mininitun of half a thousand a week. The result has been a keen com )etition iti digging up the laugh material. Old gags are dusted off, polished up ami put forth as new and even Walter Winchell, generally, recog¬ nized as supreme in the gag line has been forced to resort to lelcgram.-; to , keep his supply replenished.

And AI Jolson, it is said, has a man in New York, whose sole business is to wire him, no matter where Jol.son may hcj any good hiftv that has been sprung. It Looked Black For White A couple of decades ago, a man who indulged in gags to excess was looked upoli askance, lie was a loafer. No good would conic of him. Today, he is an expert, and can dictate hi.^ oWn terms. The loafer hati at last come into his own in many ways. There is George White, for instance. George is a Jewish boy, who was not only looked upon as a hjafer, but was regarded a.s heing a can¬ didate for the loafer championship. His university, was thc pool room,. He ^vent through all the classes there graduating cum laude. Everybody predicted that George would spclid the major part of his adult life in jail. Instead, George being a .good psyciioldgist decided that a lot of people are loafers indeed, that most of us want to be loafers. So he launched "The Scandals." Totlay George White's "Scandals" arc'^as much a part of New York as 2icgfeld's follies. George thinks he is still loafing. He is, but it is pay¬ ing him heavy dividends^ The Market And thc Synagogue The recent debacle on the stock ex¬ change recalls the famous Northern Pacific panic, which . is generally re¬ garded as one of the worst in American history. Strange to say, the Jewish synagogue figured in that panic. If Jacob Schiff had not been in the synagogue; that Saturday, perhaps there would have been'a .different ending to that great clash between Harriman and Hill, which eventuated in the great panic. A very good account of that ¦ financial battle is given, by the way, in Mark Sullivan's *'Our Times." It seems from that account that; Har- - rinian telephoned the banking .firm of Schiff to buy 40,000 niorc shares of. stock in the Northern Pacific. ScliifT had already in his possession many hiin- ¦ dred thousand, sliares and figured that .. enough. Harriman thought differently ! and tried to get in touch with Schiff, but Schiff was "davcning,'* in the syna¬ gogue as Jewisli banker.s used to do in those days. . . At any rate, the fight resulted in a deadlock between the Harriman interests, supported by Schiff and the Hill inter¬ ests, financed by Morgan. Did You know? ¦That a young Jewish, fiiiaiicier, in his thirties, is contemplating soon the erec¬ tion of a building of one hundred stories, which will outdo by some twenty fiights the mammoth building, being erected un- . derthe supervision of Al Smith? That 80 iier cent of the buihiers of New York City are Jewish. That the: Yeshivah has no regular graduating classes or time, and thc wouhl-be rabbis there must wait until Dr. Revel decides that they are .{ nalified to assume the jKist of rahhis. That it is, whispered that one of the reasons for Or. Louis I. Newman's com¬ ing to New York is his hope of pushing the movchii^m for a Jewish university to a successful con.'summation. That you have to .search with a micro¬ scope 'for a Jewish member of the faculty of New York University, ahhougli the two largest gifts to the iii.<;titution last year were made by Jews. That in order to obtain a position on the faculty of the sccidar division of the Yeshivali college one must be either a one hundred per cent observing Jew or a Christian. No un-orthodox Jews are allowed. That Meyer T.eviii, Chicago newspa¬ perman, who authored "Reporter" is now ill Palestine. That a descendant of La Porite, tlie fa¬ mous Jewisii Cassanova, about Whom re¬ cently a volume was i.iisued, is a lawyer in Seattle. She is Disappointed Maybe yon don't kiTow who Doris Fleischigan is. Well, she is a counsellor of public relations, which is a glorified way of saying "press, agent." And she is a good one. Moreover, she is thc au¬ thor of a book, "Careers For Women." And moreover again, she is the wife of Edward L. Bernays, who is regarded ns one of tlie inonarchs of publicitv and Bernays incidentally is a relation of Sig- . raund Freud. But what I was going to tejl you is that Miss Fleischman has juat written an article in which she declares that wo¬ men, despite all the feminist eriiancipa- tion, do - not amount to much in the world at large, lii the bnsiness world, she declares, women have succet^ded only in rare and outstanding instances. And Miss Fleischman is very much disturbed at this. Women seem to "clevelop into what are known as "the right hand man of, the boss." but tbey seldom become partners iu the husii\ess or the boss. We are not so worried. We hope if we ever have a wife that she will be the da Ughtcr of the president of the Ohio Kiupered Herrine Factory or the Colo¬ rado Smelter Works rather than the president herself. But who knows'what will happen a hundred years from now. I daresay. Miss Fleischnian's hopes may yet come true.
