One doesn't know whether to be more amazed at the stupidity of the law it¬ self or at. the consular oHicial, cxccut- ini? in the recent incident of the visa of Prof, Einstein.
On the wliole^ I should think, the prize for assiniriity goes to tlie consul, for there are some laws which^ it is supposed, every one will take with al- lowjunccs for modifying conditions.
There are- laws for instance, on the statute books of a number of the east¬ ern states today—blue laws which no one ex()ects to be enforced, but which now and then arc, invoked for some particular purpose, generally for the po¬ litical embarrassment oE some faction. Communism and Christianity In the case of Einstein, any effort to exclude, him on the ground that he is a .supporter of Communism is absurd, for the very simi>!e reason that Ein¬ stein is not a Communist.
But suppose he were —¦ have we a right to exclude him?
CoiL-iur Mcsscrsmith who asked these questions of Einstein,.! presume, is u Christian. As such, he must have some degree of confidence in the New, Testa¬ ment. I wonder what he would do, if some of those earlv Christians to whom the; New Testament refers, were to wake up from their sleep of death and seek admission to the United States,
If the Consul will turn to his iNlew Testament, to the Acts of the Apostles in particular, he will read some very plain statements about some of these early Christians following a Commu¬ nistic life.
Freedom of Thought And. if the Consul is not a Christian, but just an infidel American, I suggest, that he turn to the writings of Thomas Jefferson. The latter said respecting the Alien and SeditioH Laws which at¬ tempted in their way to repress liberty of thought, that though Congress passed them, "they should no more be obeyed, than if Congress had ordered the peo¬ ple to worship graven images." Health and Depression Surveying ,the state of the nation for ' his message to Congress,, the President seeking to strike some happy tiote dwells on the figures of the Surgeon General, ' purporting to show an im¬ proved state of health.
¦I am glad to see Walter Lippmann in his column ehalleriging that. The idea that economic depression, bringing with it malnutrition for thousands, can be anything: but disastrous in its ulti¬ mate effects, is too plain, to,,need any figures to support it. ;
- It inay take a little time to show, but the, undernourishment is bound to bring its toll, in the end, in its weakening of body's rcsistance:^an invitation to tu¬ berculosis and a host of other maladies that prey on the undernourished frame. The Nurses of New York

Chairmanj Announces Dona¬ tions To Cause of Palestine
Many Trees to be planted in Holy Land as a Result of Contribu¬ tions of Local Jewish Folk
Mrs. Robert L. Mellman, chairman of the Jewish National Fund Committee, Columbus Chapter o( Hadassah, an¬ nounces the followi[ig donations for the planting of trees in .Palestine, through the Tree Fund of the J. N. F.: Mr. and Mrs. A. Danziger, in memory of Mrs. Danziger's father, Joseph Gold¬ berg, two trees; Rabbi and Mrs. Riv¬ lin, in celebration of the ninth births day anniversary of their daughter, Miriam; Mrs. M. Weiss, in memory of Lena Schlezinger Platzer. The local chapter of Hadassah also announces that part of the $25.00 recently donated by the ehildren of the late S. Friedman, in his memory, has been allotted to the planting of a tree in his name.
In. olden days the people of Israel always marked the birth of a child by planting a tree-^symbol of youth and vitality. If a boy was born a cedar was setj if a girl, a pine—and as the baby grew so the shoot was tended and both waxed strong and tall.. And when the child was grown to man or womanhood and was given in marriage, the wood of these trees furnished the poles of their canopy. This beautiful and useful cus¬
tom has died together with many other
features of Israel's agricultural -life
. , , , since the dispersion. With the return to
The President's statement, too, is ap- the land, these features are being re-

apparently not borne out by the experi¬ ence of the Henry Street Settlement, of which the distinguished Lillian Wald is. the head.
Mrs. Stella Koenig, the Secretary of that organization, tells me that their work has grown.
Ofcourse, it is just possible, as-Mrs. Koenig says, that much of the increased demands on (he Visiting Nurse Service of the Henry Street Settlement is due to the . fact that many ,of those who formerly called in paid nurses now seek the aid of charity nurses.
This may explain it in part, but I believe, only in part.
A JournaliBm Student
_A very interesting young woman is this Mrs, Koenig. .Eleven years ago, a yoiing girl in her teens, she was a stu¬ dent dt the Pulitzer School of Columbia studying .journalism.
She secured some part time work at ' the Henry Street Settlement while go¬ ing to school, and today—she is in charge of the fund raising of the Lillian Wald organization—aiifcl the organiza- tron is the largest of its kind in the country.
Her husband is a nephew of the Re¬ publican chief of New York—Sam
¦ Koenig.
the Story of Lillian Wald Someone ought to write the story of Lillian Wald. The ramifications of her life are wide—and it would have some very interesting human interest angles. It was at the Henry Street Settle¬ ment for instance, that two young men, a young Irishman and a young Jew— Al Smith and Herbert Lehman first met. Lehman had just graduated from Wil¬ liams Colleffc and came to the Henry
¦ Street Settlement, asking Miss Wald to put him to work. He was given charge of one of the clubs. At the same time,
Al," then a political fledgling, was in the habit of dropping in at the Henry Street House. Little perhaps did they think at the time that ultimately both of them would be governors of New York.
Not a "New" Story
Phil Baker writes a "new story" in the New York Journal proving that Chemistry is a Jewish science. The proof is as follows: "The chief ele¬ ments are Cai-bnn, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Nitrogen." The initials of all these elements combined spell C-O-H-N.
If Phil will, look in the old files of the now defunct Jewish Tribune for 102!>, he will find his "new" story, and if he will fuTlher refer to any of the old compi' itions of Jewish humor, pub- lisheil s y forty or fifty years ago, he will find them too,

What promises to be the most out¬ standing meeting ever held under the auspices of the local chapter of Aleph Zadck Aleph will take place Sunday, December 18th, in the social room of the Schonthal Community Center, 555 East Rich Street, at 2 p. m. sharp.

Aleph Zadik Aleph was founded in May, 132-1, at Omaha, by Sam ; Beber, as a medium for organizing Jewish youth in model fraternal groups de¬ voted to building Jewish character. , Iii 1!>25, the fraternity was adopted by B'nai B'rith. Since that time it has been fea¬ tured as one of the major projects of the Wider Scope of B'nai B'rith.

Buffet Supper and Dance to ^p^I^S^^oSVSSr Be Held at Bryden Road INFANTS HOME OP OHIO Temple Sunday, Dec. 25 Chairmanj Announces Dona¬ tions To Cause of Palestine Many Trees to be planted in Holy Land as a Result of Contribu¬ tions of Local Jewish Folk Mrs. Robert L. Mellman, chairman of the Jewish National Fund Committee, Columbus Chapter o( Hadassah, an¬ nounces the followi[ig donations for the planting of trees in .Palestine, through the Tree Fund of the J. N. F.: Mr. and Mrs. A. Danziger, in memory of Mrs. Danziger's father, Joseph Gold¬ berg, two trees; Rabbi and Mrs. Riv¬ lin, in celebration of the ninth births day anniversary of their daughter, Miriam; Mrs. M. Weiss, in memory of Lena Schlezinger Platzer. The local chapter of Hadassah also announces that part of the $25.00 recently donated by the ehildren of the late S. Friedman, in his memory, has been allotted to the planting of a tree in his name. In. olden days the people of Israel always marked the birth of a child by planting a tree-^symbol of youth and vitality. If a boy was born a cedar was setj if a girl, a pine—and as the baby grew so the shoot was tended and both waxed strong and tall.. And when the child was grown to man or womanhood and was given in marriage, the wood of these trees furnished the poles of their canopy. This beautiful and useful cus¬ tom has died together with many other features of Israel's agricultural -life . , , , since the dispersion. With the return to The President's statement, too, is ap- the land, these features are being re- i.1.. _.. t_ . viye^i and enriched there. Tlic Ne apparently not borne out by the experi¬ ence of the Henry Street Settlement, of which the distinguished Lillian Wald is. the head. Mrs. Stella Koenig, the Secretary of that organization, tells me that their work has grown. Ofcourse, it is just possible, as-Mrs. Koenig says, that much of the increased demands on (he Visiting Nurse Service of the Henry Street Settlement is due to the . fact that many ,of those who formerly called in paid nurses now seek the aid of charity nurses. This may explain it in part, but I believe, only in part. A JournaliBm Student _A very interesting young woman is this Mrs, Koenig. .Eleven years ago, a yoiing girl in her teens, she was a stu¬ dent dt the Pulitzer School of Columbia studying .journalism. She secured some part time work at ' the Henry Street Settlement while go¬ ing to school, and today—she is in charge of the fund raising of the Lillian Wald organization—aiifcl the organiza- tron is the largest of its kind in the country. Her husband is a nephew of the Re¬ publican chief of New York—Sam ¦ Koenig. the Story of Lillian Wald Someone ought to write the story of Lillian Wald. The ramifications of her life are wide—and it would have some very interesting human interest angles. It was at the Henry Street Settle¬ ment for instance, that two young men, a young Irishman and a young Jew— Al Smith and Herbert Lehman first met. Lehman had just graduated from Wil¬ liams Colleffc and came to the Henry ¦ Street Settlement, asking Miss Wald to put him to work. He was given charge of one of the clubs. At the same time, Al" then a political fledgling, was in the habit of dropping in at the Henry Street House. Little perhaps did they think at the time that ultimately both of them would be governors of New York. Not a "New" Story Phil Baker writes a "new story" in the New York Journal proving that Chemistry is a Jewish science. The proof is as follows: "The chief ele¬ ments are Cai-bnn, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Nitrogen." The initials of all these elements combined spell C-O-H-N. If Phil will, look in the old files of the now defunct Jewish Tribune for 102!>, he will find his "new" story, and if he will fuTlher refer to any of the old compi' itions of Jewish humor, pub- lisheil s y forty or fifty years ago, he will find them too, Hemingway is Sore Ernest Hemingway, who, you remem¬ ber, wrote so enthusiastically about the (Continued on page 3) Richard Gutstadt What promises to be the most out¬ standing meeting ever held under the auspices of the local chapter of Aleph Zadck Aleph will take place Sunday, December 18th, in the social room of the Schonthal Community Center, 555 East Rich Street, at 2 p. m. sharp.

In addition to the address of Brother Gutstadt, a beautiful playlet based upon the life of the great Jewish hero Judas Maccabeus, will be presented. The day's program will wind .up with a dance at the Fort Hayes Hotel at 8:15 p. m. Sunday. During tlie past year the A. Z.

The 162nd charter was presented to a group of young men at Bridge¬ port, Conn, on December .11th. Aleph Zadik Aleph was founded in May, 132-1, at Omaha, by Sam ; Beber, as a medium for organizing Jewish youth in model fraternal groups de¬ voted to building Jewish character. , Iii 1!>25, the fraternity was adopted by B'nai B'rith. Since that time it has been fea¬ tured as one of the major projects of the Wider Scope of B'nai B'rith. AfTairt Sponsored by Rose E.
