"The Passing of Rcinnch
The death, oi Solomon Rcinach in Paris undoubtedly removes a great scholar and a great Jew, though opinion would perhaps di/fcr as to whether one would describe him.as a "Jewish" Jew,
He was of course active in Jewish affairs and interested in the Jewish scene, but if my impression is correct, he had little hope for a Jewish future, disbelieved in Zionism and was quite severe about some things of the Jewish past.
It has been some time since I looked into his "Orpheus," the classic on the religions of the world, but I recall for one thing, for example, that he regarded the act of Moses in setting aside one day of the week as a day of rest, merely as an act of codifying a taboo. In other words, that Moses was not animated by any fcelingi in the matter for the neces¬ sity of a day of rest, but acted purely from superstition,
Moses and the Sabbath
A mere layman hesitates to take up the cudgels against a savant ot the Rcin¬ ach type, bill it seems to me that the Reinach contention cannot be altogether true. The whole life of Moses seems to negate the view that he was prone to the mystical or superstitious aspects of religion. The whole Biblical story pre¬ sents him more in the guise" of a social reformer  rather  than  a  metaphysician.

There are to be four now, it appears. You may now swell with pride, provided of course, you are a pride sweller.
Mrs, Samuel W. Halperin
The whole town is talking about it. It.will be one of the outstanding social affairs of thp season. Every group in the community will be well represented, Over 150 reservations have already been made. The occasion is the annual donor dinner of the Columbus Chapter of Hadassah, Women's Branch of the Zionist Organization. Mrs.' Amon H. Tliall, 303 N. Cassingham, Road, chair¬ man of the arrangements committee for the. affair, expects at least 200 reser¬ vations by Snnday evening.

Halperin of Brooklyn, N. Y.
Mrs. Halperin is one of the youngest women in .the cou.ntry to hold the na¬ tional presidency of such an important organization as the Hadassah. She has had wide and diversified experience in social and cultural work. Her speaking ability has been proven on numerous occasions. At the present time she takes front rank among the leading Jewesses of .America.
The officers of Hadassah in their pub¬ lic announcement of the Hadassah Donor Dinner have made it very clear that the affair \yill be open to men as well as women. Don't forget the time and place—Southern Hotel, Sunday evening, November 20th at 6:30 o'clock. A gen¬ uine treat is in store for you; don't miss it.

But speaking aboiit Jewish office hold¬ ers, there is among the collection of lithographs on exhibit at present at the New York Public Library, one of some Jewish interest.
It is a picture of the first railroad train in America. And among the list of riders depicted is a Jewish Chief of Police of New York. Chief Jacob Hayes, who was known as "the thief catcher." He had a reputation for success in catch¬ ing thieves.
The Spinoza Harvest   .
Two volumes on Spinoza are now out. One by Lewis Browne, and the other by the grand nephew of Spinoza, Ben¬ jamin de Casseres. If that is not enough to satisfy your appetite, three more are to appear within the next few months according to publishers' announcements.
The publishers are doing their bit for the Spinoza tercentenary. If only Hol¬ land had a Congressman Bloom. He might have made the Spinoza affair for Amsterdam, what Bloom made for America in the case of the bicentennial of Washington.
We might have had Spinoza concerts and even Spinoza signs on automobiles.

The sabbath service was read at the Penitentiary by Mr. Jack M^ers, as¬ sisted by Mr. Morris "Supran. The State Officers' convention of the B'nai B'rith favored the men at the prison with distinguislied visitors and an In¬ teresting speaker. Doctor I. M. Rubi¬ now, National Secretary, B'nai B'rith, accompanied Mr. Meyers, as did Mr. Michael Sharlitt, Superintendent, Cleve¬ land Jewish Orphans Home. Mr. Sharlitt^ spoke interestingly on the anal¬ ogy between orphans and prisoners, say¬ ing that the immediate problems facing both groups were sitnilar; the orphans had been deprived of their parents while the prisoners had their freedom taken away. He said that regardless of how deliberate the one and how out of con¬ trol the other, their common problem was to forget the shadows of the pres¬ ent, to not think in terms of the immedi¬ ate with all its depressiveuess and de¬ spair, but to look ahead and to make the most of what they now had for what they saw in the future.
Mrs. Soloman Grodner rendered two songs that were truly appreciated by the congregation.

At no time in tho history of the local Community Chest has there been ' a greater demand for its ministrations. In Columbus today there are literally thou¬ sands of families on the verge of starva¬ tion. Hundreds upon hundreds of chil¬ dren are unable to attend school because of the lack of clothing. The situation is indeed a grave one. It must be faced by all groups, regardless of race, color or creed. It would indeed be a calamity, if the campaign now being conducted .by the Community Chest were to meet a cold response on the part of the rank and file of, the people of Columbus. I shudder to think what would happen. According to an announcement issued by J. E. Butler, cbairman of the Board of Directors of the Community Fund, $807,147 is being-sought in the present effort. Mr. Butler is full of enthusiasm and despite many discouraging cond i- tions now obtaining in Ftanklin County feels that the drive will go over in a big way. Among those who are faith¬ fully and conscientiously co-operating with him are: W.. J." Bennett, Harry F. Busey, Dr. E. F. Chauncey, Avery G. Clinger, M. S. Connors, Dr. Robt. U. Drury, Allen Gundcrsheimer, W. H. lloagland, Stewart A. Hoover, B. G, Huntington, Arthur C. Johnson, Frank C. Karns, K. C. Krick, Fred Lazarus, Jr., Dr. M. H. Lichliter, Fritz A. Lich- tenberg, Austin McElroy, Mrs. Jas. Mc- Nally, B. W. Marr, A. M. Miller, W. C. Newton, Miss Grace R. Peters, Roht. E. Pfeiffer, Stockton Raymund, Erdis G. Robiason, Stanley M. Ross, Prof. A. P. Rosselot, Harry M. Runklc, G. Ed¬ win ISmith, E. P. Tice.
Forty-three agencies supported by the Community Fund are striving their ut¬ most to meet the definite needs of thou¬ sands of children who are in. dire nee<I, not only of clothing and food, but of medical attention. Any one who is too deaf to hear the cry of these under¬ privileged ones does not deserve to be ranked «tlicr as a Jew or as a Chris¬ tian. It is the consensijs of opinion of the public-spirited men who arc work¬ ing so valiantly to put the drive oyer that every person who has a steady job should give at least one per cent of his salary towards alleviating the wants of those ulifortunates who are appealing to the various fund agencies for, assistance. I know that the Jewish people of Co¬ lumbus will heed the cry of the orphan, the aged, and the sick even though their own personal condition., is way below par. Somewhere, in the Talmud is a statement by a great sage that "lie that hath a benevolent eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor." I do not hesitate to predict that every Chronicle reader will heed this admoni¬ tion, The need is greater than ever, even as is the "Mitzvah" to contribute. Let us all stand up and be counted. Let us open u^ our pf>ckctbooks as wdl as our hearts. By performing our duty in a sipirit of scdf-sacrifice, we shall not only merit the respect of our neighbors but will evoke the blessing of our Father in Heaven.
YOU ARE INVITED!
The Industrial Arts Department of the Schonthal Community House, of which Mr. Arthur Miller is-director, will sponsor an entertainment program at the Center this Sunday evening, at 8 o'clock. Well-known radio entertainers and vaudeville stars have been engaged to render an evening of real entertainment. There will be no admission charge. The public is welcome.^
Be sure to bring your family and friends, Sunday evening, Nov. 20th, at 8 o'clock to the Schonthal Community House, where a most enjoyable evening is assured to all.

CHAIRMAN OF LOCAL
ORGANIZATIONS

We shall not be responsible for articles reaching this ofiice later than Tuesday, November 22nd. — Editor's Note;
Jews of the entire country are elated over the fact that Governors Arthur Seligman of New Mex,lco, and Julius L. Meier of Oregon have been re-elected. Moreover, they rejoice that Colonel Herbert H. Lehman has been chosen the chief executive of the Empire State even as Henry Horfter was Chosen Gov¬ ernor of Illinois by one bf the greatest majorities in the history of that state. It is significant that all four of these men are great leaders- in civic and phil¬ anthropic affairs.
Arthur Seligman, besides being a prominent banker and merchant, has been a member of the Democratic Na¬ tional Committee since 19^0- Since 1916 he has served as delegate to every Demo¬ cratic national convention. The gover¬ nor is married and has two lovely chil¬ dren.
Julius L. Meier of Oregon is the head of Meier & Frank, the largest rcpnrt- -raent store west of Chicago. He is also identified with many banking and finan¬ cial institutions in his native state. He is a liberal contributor to charities of all kinds and is considered, one of the outstanding civic leaders in the great northwest.
Henry Horner, the new governor of Illinois needs no extended introduction to the readers of the Chronicle. He is great and well known both as a Jew and as an American. He has served Cook County as Judge of the Probate Court (Continued on page 2)
