Metropolitan Scenes
Emma Goldman tells it. It happened some twenty-five years ago. The famous radical had just entered an JEast Side restaurant, when she heard the voice'of- Dt. Zolitaroff, another famous radical of that day, crying out: "One cup of coffee—extra large I"
This was followed by another, cry: "One piece of herring—extra large." And then came—"One bowl of soup—ex¬ tra large."
Emma couldn't understand this—extra large business. She went up to Dr. Zola- taroff and asked him what had given him this ravenous appetite. Thereupon Zola- taroff explained his system to her. It boiled down to something like this. Half of the time, he had no,money to get any food, so when he did get a few dollars, he made up for his missing meals by ordering extra large courses,
A Teeny Little Mistake Bernard G, Richards tells this one. X was an am~haaretz. His knowledge of Hebrew was about as limited as Jack pempsey's knowledge of the fourth di¬ mension. But here and there X had picked up a Hebrew phrase and a super-: ficial acquaintance with liebraic custom. One day an acquaintance brought the news to X that his father was dead. X wanted to say the right thing , in the emergency.
"There is a sentence they say -when a death ha^ occurred," said X—"O yes, 'sof ganaflF litliyah,*"
What he had meant to say of course was "Baruch Dayan Emes"(Blesscd is the righteous Judge). Instead, he had re¬ sorted to the phrase which means "the end of the thief is the gallows." "Ain*t It Awful?" Mrs. Gelder had just come back from Paris—where she had been divorced. She obtained an apartment in one of those big swanky structures in the seventies— and sat in her room—free but lonesome. She arose and peered through the window to the windows of another apartment across the way. She descried tlic forjn of a man gazing at her.
She w^s lonesome—so she gazed back. Then the man waved to her, She was awful lonesome—so she waved back.
He motioned with his hand for her to meet him on the street below.
She was awful—awful lonesome—so she went down.   . "      -
^ There he was. Their faces met and simultaneously they both exclaimed: "Is that you?"
It was her husband whom she had just divorced in Paris.
"If She Only Had $500!" It happened about two years ago. Every day an attractive young woman would visit Mrs.' Simonstein on the East Side. She was a social worker, and Mrs.' Simonstein was one of her cases.
The young, woman was a very conscien¬ tious worker, and she seemed to take more than a professional interest in Mrs. Simonstein.
And Mrs. Simonstein felt deeply grateful. Owe day she couldn't restrain herself: "You know," said Mrs. Simon¬ stein, "I , know a very nice boy—you would like him—he would make a fine .match ior you, but I guess he wants a girl with money—^you know how these nice young fellows are nowadays—they all want money. If you only had $500 or a $1,000.00."
Mrs. Simonstein sighed. The young social worker smiled sympathetically, as if to indicate that she appreciated her good intentions anyway, fined—and now, said the , father, every that the young woman, was the daughter of the millionaire, Arthur Lehman, and the niece of Lieutenant Governor Her¬ bert Lehman.
New York Black Magic It happened in sophisticated New York, where  everybody   is  uptodate and  cul¬ tured and modern and educated—or sup¬ posed to be.
It was shortly after supper that Rabbi X heard a rap on his door. "Come in."
There stood before him Zelda—a young. American woman. Zelda seemed the average American Jewish type—but there was a look of distress on Zelda's face. Along with Zelda came her father—a middle-aged man, equally av¬ erage looking. ,
"What can I do for you?" asked the rabbi.
The father look the initiative In talk¬ ing. He explained that Zelda had had some trouble with the colored cltivator operator. The matter had been taken to court, and the colored operator had been fined—and now said the father, every time Zelda sees the elevator operator, she ig sure that he is working "Kishuf" (black magic) on her. 'When the father came X<fl^c word "Kishuf", he scarcely said it, as hissed it.
Of course, the first impulse of the rabbi was to tell them to forget it—that it was all nonsense. But one look at the couple sufHced to convince him that such advice would be completely wasted, i
"You are a man of God," concluded the father—"can you tcll us how we can put to naught this kishuf?"
The rabbi mused. ¦ "Will you promise me to do everything I tell you?" Certainly joined Zelda and her father. "Well, first of all, every morning and before going to bed, Zelda-must recite the^ Shma Israel—and every time she recites it, she must put a coin in the *pU6hkey.'"
And then concluded the rabbi, "you both must .immediately move from your apartment to another .
A week passed. Again a rap on the door. It was Zelda and her father again. They were beaming. The rabbi's advice had worked wonders, they said and they came io thank him.

In both banking and philosophy, Mr. Schiff followed in the footsteps of his father. He was a leading member of Kuhn, Loeb & Company and a director in many important banking institutions ¦ and railroads. Last month he was elected president of the National. Council of the Boy Scouts of America, an organization with which he had long been identified.

His most important War service was j as one of the committee of eleven to coordinate Army Service Agencies. Mr. Schiff also served-as a director of the United War Work Campaign.
No small part of the:_ progress of the Boy Scouts of America is attributable to his generous support. It was his organiz¬ ing ability that led to its extension to every community in the country. His gifts have made possible extension of scouting work in other lands. In 192!) he donated $50,000 for the extension of in¬ ternational friendship through scouting. For his services to boyhood, he was given the 1926 Scout Award of .the Silver Buffalo. '     ¦

"The National Council .of Jewish Women rises with a multitude of men, wonien and children in paying tribute to the nobility of your dear son who so magnificently displayed in his , life the spirit of his sainted father and your own lofty idealism. Otic need not review tht many points at which he has touched the life of America and of world Jewry, for you know them even more intimately than we. His interests found their level in the deep channels of scholarship, for he was generous in advancing the aims of science and those who searched after knowledge. His. heart opened warhnly to those who required his sympathy and sup- iwrt. He carried on the traditions of his family gloriously." .
Sol M. Stroock, former' president of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, stated: "Morti¬ mer L.

APPEAL FOR 1931 DUES MADE BY LOCAL ZIONISTS
An additional appeal has been issued Ihis week to all loyal Zionists of Colum¬ bus to pay their 1931 dues to the treas¬ urer, Joseph Solove, as soon as possible.
"To be a good Zionist by conversation or inactivity is insufficient," said Allan Tarshish, president of the Columbus Zionist District. "Loyalty and enthusi asm and proper support for the efforts made in the reestaplishment of the Jew¬ ish National Homeland—must he ex¬ pressed by deeds and specially by remit¬ ting your dues for. this year, I trust that the spirit of Zion wilt arouse those who have thus far been negligent—to attend to this immediately."
News of the sudden death of Frank A. Glick, age 54, who passwl away Thurs¬ day evening, June 4th, at his home, 381 Columbia Avenue, Bexley, of heart dis¬ ease, came as a tre¬ mendous shock to his host of friends throughout Colum¬ bus and central Ohio Funeral . seriices which took place last Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at ' the Schoedinger Chapel, were    attended    by
over 500 people'from every walk of life. It would have been most fitting that the beautiful eulogy given by Rabbi Jacob Tarshish in tribute to his useful life, should have been said from the pulpit of Temple Israel for Mr. Glick, for he had always considered the Temple work near and dear to his heart. For a number of years he had served as member of the Board of Trustees and was active in every phase of its work.
Possessed of a genial personality and an infectious sense of humor, Mr. GUck was always a happy person to be with. He was known for his kindness and charity. He was one of the few who possessed a Jewish consciousness-which gave him that sympathetic understanding of every cause or movement that was Jewish. In fact, it has often been said, he never refused a contribution to anyone who came to him for assistance. To know Frank GHck was to haye been his friend. His sudden death is felt as, a great loss tb the Jewish community of Columbus.

Central Conference of Amer¬ ican Rabbis Convenes In Wawasee, Ind., June 17-21
Five Hundred Rabbis to Discuss Im¬ portant Problems Confronting Judaism in America
Not only will the Central Conference Of American Rabbis, which will convene in Wawasee, Indiana, June 17 to June 21, discuss religious subjects, but it will con¬ cern itself with social, economic, educa¬ tional, labor and other problems.
Five hundred rabbis of the reform cle¬ ment will assemble. They come from the leading congregations in the^ United States and Canada and their deliberation will be eagerly dwelt upon by their con¬ gregation. The congregations are sending their rabbis to the conference because of the value they derive from this assem¬ blage by Jewish religious thinkers and leaders.
Among the subjects that will be up for discussion are Synagogue music, Relief, Religious thought and life in America, the status of the Jew and Judaism in Russia, the nature and scope of Jewish theology 'and its bearing on modern thought, the profession of Jfcwish educa¬ tion and its relation to the rabbinate, the curriculum of the Rabbinical Seminary, Youth and the Synagogue, and the atti¬ tude of the Jewish student to religion.
Rabbi David Lefkowitz, of Dallas, Texas, president of the Conference, said yesterday, "Judaism offers enough sub¬ jects of study for a lifetime, as well as for the most ambitious and most energetic educational enterprises. It has a vast and varied literature;,besides, it is the actual religion of millions of men dnd wonien living amid the intellectual transforma¬ tion and spiritual conflicts of today. IE Judaism is to retain its hold upon the minds of nominal devotees, and play a. part in the modern reconstruction of re¬ ligious thought, then we must study it more thoroughly. Judaism cannot be conquered by rhetorical magic."
The education of youth is also a sub¬ ject of. Conference,consideration for the congregations throughout the country arc awake to the need of providing increased facilities for grounding the children and the youth in religious instruction. The rabbis and their congregations recognize as their greatest problem that of keeping burning the flame of religious interest and enthusiasm in the.'modern American en¬ vironment. The Conference seetfs to guide the footsteps of youth from the pitfalls that cause Jewish culture, and education to be separated from the religious con¬ tent. The Jewish inheritance and the American outlook must "be Mended in . young Jewry, the rabbis declare, and the growing generation must be guarded against the impression that their Jewish religious training is something alien to their Anierican life and vision. The aim is to place Jewish education so that it will not be a thing apart from the life now being lived.
The Conference will discuss the report on the church and state. The Conference is committed to the principle of complete separation of church and state. It is op¬ posed to Bible 'reading in the public schools and is endeavoring to provide a means of character training in the public ' schools without recourse to sectarian re¬ ligious background or authority. It op¬ poses sectarian instruction in the form of prayer; songs, carols and celebrations. It recognizes the moral intention which in most instances prompts this sectarian in¬ struction and seeks to forbid a means of attaining tbe same high purpose without violation of sectarian principles.
The daily program of the convention will be as follows: Wednesday, June 17, Opening Prayer, President's Message, Memorial Resolutions, Kuddish and Benediction; Thufsday, June 18, Syri* gogue Music, Relief, Source Book of Reform, Falasha^; Currents in Jewish Religious Thought and Life in America in the Twentieth Century by Rabbi Sam¬ uel M. Gup, Providence, R. I., and discus¬ sion by Rabhi Isaac Landman of Neu^ York, and Rabbi Samuel Markowitz, Fort Wayne, Ind., The Status of the Jew and Judaism in Russia by Rabbi David Goldberg, Brockton, Mass., and discus¬ sion by Rabbis F. Isserman, St. Louis, Mo,, and Philip Bernstein, Rochester, N. Y., The Nature and Scope of Jewish Theology and Its Bearing on Modern Thought by Rabbi Felix Levy of Chi¬ cago, 111., and discussions by Rabbis James G. Heller of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Isser Freund of Goldshoro, N. C; Fri¬ day, June 19, Confirmation Practices in One Hundred Jewish Religious Schools bv Rabbi Louis I.
