What Jews Can Do In Land Where
Anti-Semitism Is Non-Existent
Will Rojufcrs of Ohlnhomn and .Togcnh of Effypt Shirts have ciniscd a dt*al of trouhle in their clays. Yon remcinhur all the tlif- ficnltics that Joseph's silk .shirt hrouKht ahout.
Will Kofiers, I nndcrstand, h;is solved the shirt 'i)rn))lcin very simply. He never has a shirt laundered. When it's .soilcfl, he'R through with it—and Iniya aiiuthcr shirt. ^ He always, buys ine.\|)ensivc shirts and his ineonic is rather large—so thai the money pliase is not important to hini, Collars nnd FrciduB The hitc Lihrarian Frcitlus of'the Jew¬ ish Division of the New York Pulilic Lihrary even outdid Mr. Rogers in this respect. His boudoir, I am told, \vns virtually empty. If he needed another collar or anything, he houf-ht a new one. He threw collars away like paper dishes. Some day, I hope, science will succeed in inakinjr pa))cr clothes, hoth comfor¬ table and not nnpleasins to the eye. It's got to be both to succeed.
When Dresses Bloomed Back in the 18'(0's, tJiere was a great hubbub in America over the appearance of some of the radical women in bloomer skiVts. Women were rebelling against tha feminine attire of that day in which they were virtually smothered. Each woman of that day wore enough petti¬ coats to start a modest ladies' .shop now¬ adays, and the trains of the skirts sweep¬ ing along the streets- made street cleaning unnecessary. The bloomer skirt failed. Why? ^     .
Principally, I think, liecausc it* was a very niicoinely thing. It was a combina¬ tion dress and trousers, the' trouscr leg .reachinj^ to the top of tlic shoe and the skirt above ending some distance above the ankle.
Not nnich to look at—and woinan achieved her'dress emancipation in other way.s. Attractive ways.
Would to Goodness man could achieve as much emancipation in his attire—par¬ ticularly for this hot weather. And we Jews' Qught to be the ones to do the emancipating. Are we not the tailors of the world?.
Making Light of the Depression The best story thus  far, to my ears, of the depression is W. Winchell's.
Johnnie in school was asked.-jby his arithmetic teacher: "How many mills inake a cent ?" "Not a darn one," replied'Johnnie. Another that I heard this week is of a :Jc\yish actor who came to a, booking agency, ficckiiig work.
. "What is your experience and what caii you do?" asked the B. A,
"Well," replied the uneinplpycd Jewish actpr, "I used to play Louis the XIV, bnt now on account of the depression, I only play Rjch.'ird the HI."
, Paul Revere tind Einstein Is Einstein another Paul  Revere? . Reports that come to niy car^ indicate that .-Albert and Paul are "brothers un¬ der their skin." ,
.\t least, it is aaid that n|i in Berlin or down . in Berlin—Professor Einstein may be .frerpicntly seen taking strolls be¬ tween two and thrcciA. M.
This night-walking must.be very good for contemplation. No noise—no bustle —no bother from people. At least, one very well known Hebrew writer, to my personal knowledge, does all of bis writing at nigbt. ¦
Work When Tired I recall hearing night work rccom- niendcd for another strange reason. This .opinion was ventured by a writer who found that he could do hi^ bust work, ' strange to say, when fatigued. Sounds rather ridiculous on its face, but I am not so_ suj'e but that there may be some¬ thing in it.
I think that most of-us find that men-
.   tally. we arc far more alert during the
night   hours,   when   fatigue   has   set   in,
than when wc crawl out of bed in the
niorning.
Felicitations to Faber I see that my friend, Dave Faber of New Orleans, brother of Rabbi Feinberg, has-joined the staff of the SanAntonio Jewi.sh Record. Dave is one of that nu¬ merous bandi of ex-IIebrcw Union Col¬ lege students who after a short intern¬ ment at Cincinnati found that inaybe af¬ ter all, the Lord hadn't called them to preach. The list i.s a large one and I am surprised thiit someone has not thus far formed something like an Amal¬ gamated Order of Near-Rabbis, Journalism and Theology Quite a number of the brethren are in joiirnaliam—somc occupying very signifi¬ cant positions. Indeed, there has been such an influx into tbe writing frater¬ nity that lam snrprised.that tbe Hebrew Union College docs not make some pro- vi.sioii for such students. At least, ' a couple of courses in Joiirnalism for that percentage who may he expected to bid adieu to theology and embrace journal¬ ism. If I am not inistrtken, Mosc.s Straus, city editor of the Cincinnati Times-Star, Isaac Pitchell of the En- (juirer, and AI Segall of tbe Cincinnati Post are all one-time students of the H. U. C. So there would be no difficulty in getting.capable men to handle the course.
Rabbis Were Pioneers The majority of the pioneer Anglo- Jewish publications were founded hy rabbis. Rabbi Wise in" Cincinnati founded tbe American Israelite, Rahhi Leiser in Philadelphia ifstablishcd the Occtdeut. the late Rabbi Deinard in Mimieapolis established a paiicr called the Scribe, now replaced by Mr. Frisch's American Jew¬ ish World, iind Rabbi Silver eslaljlishcd, I believe, the Jewish Ledger of New Orleans.
Today, the types which establish Jew¬ ish periodicals are more compo.site.   ¦ But Look at Them Now The half dozen Jewish editors or so (Contimied on page 4)
ROME-(J. T. A.)—One of the finest examples of what Jews can do ff)r the cnricbiiicnt of culture in lands where l»nr- barons anti-Scmilism dtits not bar the doors to thcin and where it is not consid¬ ered iiccess.iry lo institute a luniieru.s clansn.s to save the country from the "Jewish menace" is Italy. In tbe home of Mussolini the Jews have made such treincndous contributions to every phase of social, political and cultural life tbat it becomes almost difiicult to believe that tbey constitute but one-tenth .of one per cent of the total population. There are entire iiruvinces m Italy in which millions of people live vvbcre there arc almost no Jewisli families and no organized Jewish comnninities—Calabria, Sicily, Apulia, Sardinia and the district of Naples.
In tlie last sixty years, that is, since Italy became an independent kingtlom, Italian Jews wbo received etpial citizen¬ ship from the new monarchy gave their fatherland names of international impor¬ tance in science and art. Jewish atatcs- nien and economists helped the young nation to achieve the .status of a world power. Itnly was not slow to recognize the accfimplishmeiits of it.s gifted Jewish citizens, and holds their names and acbievements in reverence.
Among such Jews who spread the, name of Italy far and wide were Cesarc Lombro.so, Luigi Luzatti, Alcssandro Artoni,. Professor Enriqucs, Professor Elias Lates and Professor Del Veccio. Lombroso, one of the world s greatest sc3ciologist.s, created a new school in that .science and changed allour ideas about crime, 'the effect of the .social environ¬ ment upon the dcvclbpmeiit of, criminals and on the type of the so-called born criniiiial, Not only, vvris be an einiiient .sciehti.st but he was a great social re¬ former. His daughter, Gina Lombroso, is emulatinij; her distinguished! sire.
Luigi Luzatti was a many-sided genius. His fame was not only as a statesman but as a student of religion, literature, art and philosophy. It was he who es- tabliahetl the first cooperative banks in Italy and on a number of occasions saved the country from fipancial bankruptcy. Luzatti was, a pioneer social reformer. In statecraft Luzatti, Italy's Jewish prime minister, was not alone among Jews, Senators Marfurgo, Wallembargo, Martara and Ancona having been cabinet ministers, aiid important figures in Italian finance.
It is in the scientific world that we find many distnigiiisbcd Jewish names. Pro¬ fessor Latcs, devoted a lifetime to re¬ search into tbe language, history and customs of the ancient Etruscans who inhabited Italy before the Romans. His dictionary of the Etruscan language is world frimous. Thanks to this monu¬ mental work, science is now alilc to carry on further study into the life and lan¬ guage of that: mysterious people.    Prof.
Cjrazziadio Ascoli is also well known fur his studies in IiKlo-Gcrinanic tongues.
A list of the Jewish scientists of Italy whose fame is not parochial would fill many pjiges. In some universities, the one at Pisa for example, most of the important Jiosts arc held by Jews. In the universities of Padua, Bologna, and Tu¬ rin one finds such names as Prof. Beii- dctti, an authority on pbj'siology; Prof. Sanati, Prof. Senramanin-Yakur and Prof, Luslig, who presided at the last anti-cancer world congress. Recently Dr. lii.scnstadt has come to the fore.  .
Until recently, Prof. Del Veccio, editor of the Inter-^National Journal of Legal Philosophy, was rector of the University of Rome. Prof. Del Veccio, together with tbe (iconomist. Prof. Arias, who is known as the Fascist Karl Marx, arc the two most important Jewish per.sonalities wbo had been adherents of Fascism since its inception.
Jcwisli scientific autlioritics arc espe¬ cially jironiincnt in the physio-matheinati- cal faculty of the University of Rome. Among them are two whose reputation is intcrnatinnal, Prof. Enriqucs, the Italian Ehiatein, and Pcof. Lcvi-Civita, the only Jeivi.sh member of the Papal Scientific Academy. Prof. Levi-Civita always heads the Italian delegation at international philosophical congresses.
In literature, art and music Jews have also contributed to Italian cultui'c. An- niola Orvieto, the bard of Florence, is one of Italy's most popular i>oets. Some years ago he wrote a poem called "A Wind From 7Aon" which describes the feelings Zion aroused in bim. An hon¬ ored figure in Italian literature is Saba- tini Lopez, the president of the Italian Authors' League. Lopc:^ hails from Leghorn although he now lives in Milan where be is active in Jcwisli affairs and a leading worker fpr thei Jewish Na¬ tional Fund.
, Italic Svcto of Trieste has a special niche in Italian literature. Sveto, whose real name is Schmidt, is now being "dis¬ covered" by Italian critics who have dubbed him the Italian Proust. For many years a wine merchant in Trieste, he devoted his leisure tinie to literary creation. Recently, however, he has gahied recognition as one of. the out¬ standing personalities ii,i contemporary Italian literature. Alberto Moravia is another Jewish writer who has achieved recognition as have Guide de' Verona and Pitigrilli.        '
Italy, the land of music, also has its Jewisih coiViposcrs. Castelnnov-Tedesco is a man. of real talent, his opera La Mandagola having 'been presented with [jjreat success at La Scaia in Milan; Tn- cidentally, this famous opera bouse is now managed by a Jewess. Anita Co¬ lombo. Vittorio Rietti and E., Sinigalia have long since won fame for their mu¬ sical works.
Pioneer Jewish Bankers Re¬ sign Positions in Large Bank
Lt)S AXGFLFK—Marco II. Ildlman and his brother, Irving H. Hclhnan, who .since the cuiusolidalion of the Bank of Italy and the Bank of America have been viLf-iircsldcnts oi the merged institutions, have rcaJKiicd their ofiiccs much tt) tlic surpri.se of the financial world of South- cm California.
Both iMarco H. and Irving H. Hcll- inan have been constant and active wot^k- ors in nearly every Jewish charitable and social activity in Lcjs Angeles, and Irving H. Hclhnan i.s now the honorary presi¬ dent of the United Jewish Welfare Fund of this city, 1
Mr, Irving Hclhnan stated that his future course would be to take care of his personal interests. Both of the Hell- mans have vast interests in a great many coimnercial and financial iiistilutious in the Southwest.
The name of llcllman in financial and commercial circles in California dates back to IHil."), wlieii I. W. Heilman, an uncle of Marco and Irving, was con¬ ducting a general inercbandising business in Lob .'\ngeles. He Had an old lasb' ioned safe in his store and miners would come with their buck-skin pouches filled witli gold dust and nuggets and a.sk bin. to keep them .safe At tinieti, it is said he'bad as high as i^:^20,()()0 in his saft Later be associated with his brother, H. W. Heilman, father of the present bank crs, and placed the deposits on interest, ir. this maimer starting one of the first banks in  California. '
It has been rumored that these pioiicci bankers will ag?nii start in banking fen lliemselves, as they had founded some years ago the Hclhnan Commercial Trust and Savings Bank, which, with. many changes and mergers, finally led to what is now known as the Bank of America, one of, the largest institutions in the Southwest.
The Ainerican Jew Goes Vacationing
By]. BURROWS
[EDITOR'S NOTE: The vacation season starts late in May. Because of tlie profji-essive ideas as well as hLv ready acceptance- of chanf/e, the American Jciv enjoys a variety of vacation e.vpcriences. 'I hey arc dc.';cril}cd in (/ii.? urticlc, writ- ten expressly for The Ohio Jczvish Chronicle.]
Once'upon a time the subject of Jew baiting hotels provided many columns for the writers of the Jewish press to luxu¬ riate in. . Nowadays there is considerably less of tbat emotional pother. Fewer ho¬ tels now draw the line But a more im- [inrtant influence in the change has been the altered vacation habit ,of the Ameri¬ can Jew. . Vacationing has at this date acquired an unparalleled popularity and an un¬ usual variety. Still within a reasonable margin and after allowance ' has been made for those who prefer the unusual, it is safe venture t" foretell the possible vacation choices of Mr. Every Jew.
The exceptions (to begin with them) are of a ciJnsidcrable assortment. Nor- nially the vacation choice points to the mountains or the seashore. TIic excep¬ tions include travels abroad (to which young Jews and their fair ladies espe¬ cially of the while collar professions, are turning niore and more devotedly) ; trips to Canada or Bcrnuida, yisits to the Ca[je Cod districts; and cross country auto¬ mobile tours and bitch hikes. .These last arc esjiecially attractive to yoiiiig adven¬ turers and tbe literary and radically am¬ bitious who want to learn the country and , !ts denizens at first hand. ¦ I-f the Jewish family is of great wealth its vacation choice permits a wide range from trips abroad, visits to the exclusive (but not Jew-excluding) summer resorts such as those In Georgia, stop-overs at wealthy country and yachting clubs or retirement to private lodges and summer residences.
ihe less wealthy, the average Jews, have,their choice open as to mountain or seashore. The seashore is a frequent se¬ lection of those who wish a ready and rapid commuting distance to the large city near which tbe resort is usually lo¬ cated. Those who object to the salt sea air may select cither a summer hotel of a type which Jewish vacationists made SCI popular in the Catskill Mountains, New York, or secure lodging arrange¬ ments in the same countryside.
A new trend that has recently Ijccome apparent :ind that is constantly gaining in popularity is found in the summer cani|)s. These summer resorts while at¬ tracting primarily the ynpng men anrt women, also draw the older folks who liave been touched hy the growing sport fads, and who prefer their pleasure close to tile younger people In several re¬ spects the new urge towards camping .seems to have changed the vacation hab¬ its of all the Jews.   Camps have become
sopopniar that even in times of dei)res- sion the institution flourishes, especially' at week-end.s. It is a commoni>lacc of modern times that the professional man or womaii and tbe white-collar worker will save throughput the week in order the better to;spend on the Saturday and Sunday, week-end excursion into nature- land.
The release of the parents'-from special responsibility during the suinmcr time liai been made possible by the success of tht children's camp. In addition to those that have long been established and that are predicated oil the existence^ of a well filled jiocketbook, there are camps and sunnner homes such as those conductei\. by institutions affiliated with the. Jewi.sh VVclfare Board, winch provide for tht summer needs of the children of the pooi and middle class.
The existence of these moderatelj priced camps allow the parents to enjo} their own summer vacations in ways specially adapted to their wishes.
The effect of the camps as \"acation resorts hns been strongest in the work' er's method of recuperating from a strenuous winter. A decade ago the va¬ cation for tbe Jewish worker was a rarity that aroused excited talk among the neighbors. Today it is a common¬ place for the Jewish proletariat to Icavt on a two or more weeks' trip to a sum¬ mer resort. He may of course and often does go to the seashore and find an in¬ expensive crowded lodging for bjs brici period of indulgence. Or he may pick spot in the mountains where for his allotted rest period he may vie with his richer brother in an extended service at "casion" or the ever popular .pinochle. But if he is in the swin;.; of current life and is a really up to date mcinbcr of the modern third estate, he will select one of the cooperative camps which have becii organized expressly for hini and his as¬ sociates.
Jewish labor leaders and radical groups have been most activi; in organizing these workers' camps which constitute a dis¬ tinct phenomenon in our society. The proletarian camps near New York which are very impnlar with Jewish needle and other workers arc Camp Nilgedeiget, Canip Wocolona, Unity Camp and Unser Camp. Several of these have siK-cial camps for the chikiren of the workers and bave themselves made an extraordi¬ nary contribution -to health and social betterment.
The oldest of these camps is Nitgedei- :ct. Since its establishment similar in¬ stitutions have been founded near Chi¬ cago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Bo.ston and even as far as Los Angeles. Occasion- allv the extremely radical camps find their names in the newspapers wheo a Hamilton Fish investigation coniestheir way. At all other times they are single- (Contiued on Page Four)

10,000  Jews Attend Tisha
B'Ab Procession Past
Wailing Wall
JERUSALEM—(J. T. A.)—Ushering in Tisha B'Ab, the Jewish fast com¬ memorating the destruction of the First and Second Temples by the Roman le¬ gions, more than 10,000 Jews reverently filed past the Wailing Wall last night in a most impressive procession. Most of the participants were youths. Maintain¬ ing a hushed silence, the marchers walked in single file pa.sf the ancient shrine in a procession lasting from sunset until mid¬ night. .
Seated on tlie pavement in front of the Wall was a group of elders chanting the Lamentations of Jeremiah hi commemora¬ tion of the'"Glory of Israel that has de¬ parted." Circling the venerable wor¬ shippers was a,guard of, fifty young Jewh who formed a human chain around the group of chanters. The marchers circled tbe chain and passed on.
British police, under District Officer Julius Jacobs, patrolled a!I passages in the vicinity of the Wailing Wall while a number of government and police of¬ ficers were in the "immediate, neighbor¬ hood. At midnight a large crowd of Or- thoKlox worshippers, acconipanied b\ a group of young students, arrived bare¬ footed as a traditional expression of mourning.
The aniiual conuneinoration of the de¬ struction of tbe Temples is the first occa¬ sion tbe local Jewish population has had of visiting the Wailing Wall since the [)ublication last nionth of the report of the International Wailing Wall Commis¬ sion. Because of the restrictions now imposed on Jewish worshippers at the W^all the-groups of Orthodox Jews in¬ toning lamentations sat in complete dark¬ ness because lights were not permitted.
District Officer Jacobs superintended the procession with a copy of the Wail¬ ing Wall Commission's report in his hand to sec that the verdict was carried out.
Youthful members of tbe Zionist Re¬ visionists distributed pamphlets in which tbe restrictions imposed by the Wailiii'^ Wall Coinmissioii were denounced anO the Jewish authorities were severely crit¬ icized for having acceptc<l the Commis sion's verdict. Practically all of tho hiuidbills were confiscated by the polict and the entire evening passed quietly,
Yesterdiay's procession marked the sec¬ ond anniversarv of that fateful Tishii B'Ab of 1JJ2JI when Arabs attacked Jcwf at the Wailing VVall and from this clash leveloped the tragic riots of August and September, 1020.
Dr, Lee K. Frankel
ATLANTIC CITY—Speaking at tbe ;i;)tb annual meeting nf tbe Jewish Sea¬ side Home here. Rabbi William Fine- shriber, ra'!)bi of Kcnesetb Israel Temple, Philadelidiia, characterized Dr. Lcc K. Frankel, who was active in the congre¬ gation as a young man, as "the outstand¬ ing Jewish layman in this country."
Rabbi Fincsbriber said; "Dr. Frankel never was a professional Jew. He was a simple, reassuring, talented man, one of the greatest humanitarians in this country. It is hard to lose a man of this kind. American Jewry will miss him."
Joseph Hagedorn, president of Kene- scth Israel Tcinplc and a life-long friend oi Dl. Frankel. told of his early days in Philadelphia .ind of hh last visit to at¬ tend the annual meeting of the .American Philosophical Sncicty in whose deblicra- tions he took a leading part.
ST. LOL'IS—Dr. Lee K. Frankel was muui iicd here tudaj by the delegates to the 27th biennial convention of the Pro- gressi\e Order of tlio \^*cst.
Tbe death nf Dr. T-ce K. Frankel was- characterized jesterday aS) "overwhelm¬ ing" by l.eroy A. Lincoln, vice-president ot tbe MetroiKilitan Life Insurance Coni- liany, who h:id been an associate of Dr. Frankel. "Dr. Frankel was an interna¬ tional figure in health work and disease prevention," Mr. Lincoln declared.
Julius Simon, president of the Pales¬ tine Economic Corporation, of which Dr. Frankel was one of the founders, wired Mrs. Mark Rafalsky, Dr. Fraukel's daughter, that he was "shocked and grieved over tbe death of your dear father. His fine public spirit, his great experience and his deep interest in the affairs of our company made him one of its foremost leaders and his untimely death will leave a gap which will be painfully felt."

ARREST SCHADCHEN WHO TOOK
MONEY  BUT FOUND NO
HUSBANDS ^
NKW YORK—Max Hozinsky of Brooklyn is a laundryman by trade and a schadchen by desire anil this desire got him into trouble when he was arrested on charges of taking money from a mnnber of luisband-seeking women whom he failed tp provide with mates. One woman charges him with having taken *i,!WO on the promise to. get, her a hus¬ band who failed to materialize. Six other women have made simitar charges.
In a statement issued yesterday by the Zionist Organization of America, the passing of Dr. Frankel was mourned "as a severe blow to the manifold endeavors in Jewish conuuunal life in which he was a leading spirit. Trained as a chemist and endowed with tbe vision of the true social worker, it was perhaps inevitable that he became vitally concerned with the synthesis in Jewish life that ih arising out of the recreation of the Jewish Na¬ tional Home in Palestine-
"He was chairman of the American section of the Joint Palestine Survey Commission and was a leading factor in the acceptance of that commission's re¬ port which led directly to the creation of the Council of the enlarged Jewish Agency for Palestine in Zurich two years ago. Only eight days before his death he uas tlected co-chairman of that Coun¬ cils at it.s second meeting held in Basle.
"His vision, his wisdom and hisi great ability  will  be sorely missed."
Dr, Lee ICaufcr Frankel who died Sat¬ urday after a sudden heart attack at the Hotel Bristol, Paris, achic\ed world¬ wide distinction as a health authority and a leader in bocial service In the Jewish worki he was known for a life¬ time of devotion to activities that cuhui- nated in his vigorous association with the Jewish Agency for Palestine.
Dr. Frankel was horn in Philadelphia on August,IM, IB07, the son of Louis and .Aurelia Lobcnburg Frankel. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania where he obtained his degree of bachelor of science and. in 1891, the degree of doctor of philosophy. From 1888 imtil 18D3 he ¦,i\$o taiight at his alma mater as an in¬ structor in the department of chemistry. For the follow[ng six jeara he was a consulting chemist and an associate (and latpr president) of the chcmicdl section of the Franklin Institute.
