Poetic Inspiration
Now that suiimicr has passed around the corner ami 15 with us, it is time for t|n; iKjets to write their winter ballads. Sing a song of snow and bitter cold. It has frequently been commented on that the spring-time poet industry fcachcs its boom in winter aild the singers of winter groW lyrical in the summer. How can this be, you may ask?
Listen, to RothenBtein Well, I'll ask you a better question. Why is it, that poets, who write ol Na- ture so much, are so little observant of nature? And if you ,ask me in turn, whence I deduce this generalization, I point to no less an aii-thority than Sir William ¦Rothciistein, the famous painter and wi*iter, whose reminiscences are now being published. Listen to what Rothciistein says: "The poets in the country puzzled and amused nie. I would take them to remote valleys, through flowing orchards and hanging Jjeech woods, yet tliey' never secincd tp notice anything. Yeats would keep his eyes on the ground, and while Davies, was with, us, he would talk lit¬ erary gpssip and ask my oiiinion of thi.s or that poet, while cuckoos sang aiKi rainbows archedt the valley."
Einstein and Mattiematics Rotliciistein, too, met Prof. Kinstein, and here again he was stir prised. Ein- stehi in his studies always had with,him a queer looking mini, who, Rothensfein addfi, resembled an old tortoise.
This man would sit and listen as Ein¬ stein theorized. '
From time to time the stranger shook his head, whereupon Einstein paused, re¬ flected and started another train of thought.
Einstein subsequently explained: "He is my mathematician. He examines prob¬ lems which I put before him and checks their validity. You see 1 am not myself a very good mathematician."
A Little Analysis ,
^ When you ponder these phenomena a iittle more deeply, they of .course, lose their surprise element.
If mere observance of nature woiiid. make a poet, then naturalists, bacteriol¬ ogists and the like would make the great¬ est poets. The truth of, the matter is, that they generally make very poor poets —if thejT can be made into poets at all. For the essence pf poetry is not factual observation, but a certain indefinable fourth dithensional process, one of whose chief characteristics is retrospective musing.
- And the genius of an Einstein, too, is not in the mastery of mathematical for¬ mulae, but rather in the possession bf a , synthetic faculty, .quick to perceive rela¬ tionships.
A Course in Yiddish The Jewish Morning Journal is now running in its columns a course for those desiring to learn Yiddish. Its managing edi;tj)r, Jacob Fishman, a most interest¬ ing figure of Jewish journalistic life,.be¬ lieves that if Yiddish has any future, it is in America. ,     , .
He will tell you, as he told me, that these stories that you hear about the sur¬ vival and revival of Yiddish in Russin arc claptrap. You hear stories, says Fishman, that in parts of Russia, where Jews predominate, it has become the court language. "Well, maybe, when they sentence a Jew to prison in Russia, they do him the courtesy of pronouncing his sentence in Yiddish, but that is about all. Yiddish will not survive iu Russia in the present tempo of things."
Has No Delusions pcspite the course in his paper, Mr, Fishman is hy no ineans deludetl as to the future :of Yiddish in America. He realizes that in another generation or two, the. curtain over it will have been wrung down as fnr as its being a pri¬ mary language is coircerned.
Btit he believes that the present rising generation would do well to learn a little Yiddish—lo be better able to interpret the current of Jewish life the -world over. Universal Yiddish Yiddish, after all, is as near a univer¬ sal language as i>erhaps can b<j found. 1 mean by that, with the possession of Yiddish, one today can travel about in most any land.
Here "and there peo|)le s|jcak it every¬ where—except iu Palestine. There, I am told, it is largely taboo. Hebrew and English seem to {m the principal mediums of expression in Palestine.
The Career of an Editor. iFisbnian's career has been along the ' lines of the Horatio Alger pattern. From office boy to editor. Starting some thirty- five years ago, on the old Tageblatt, he is now managing editor of the Morning Journal and Tageblatt.
In an Informal lYay Mrs.  Irma Lindheim,  former Hadas¬ sah chief, will shortly settle in Palestine. David Brown has been ill of late. Despite   all   the ballyhoo,   a   complete editioii of  Maurice  Samuel's  "Jews on Apiproval" has not been sold,    Rut that doesn't matter so much to Samuel.   If it sells half an edition, it is all right, too, for he can turn them out quicker than the printer can set up the words.
Meyer Levin is an actor understudy in the cast of Couiicillor-at-Law, hit f>lay of FJmer Rice,
The Epsteins of Cleveland were visit¬ ing around New York the past week.
Win, Lowenstein, head of a chain of restaurants and a staunch.Zionist, is back from a visit to Palestine. Won't say whether he will establish a branch there or not of his,famous cafeterias.
They say that I^ouis Lipsk>' Itas put a lot of new life into that insurance com¬ pany which he heads.

Flower Day Celebration This
Sunday,   June
5t^h
Also   Election   of   Delegates   to   the
Annual Convention of the Zionist
Organization
Last Thur.sday evening at University Hall the Hillel Players and the Hillel Choral Club gavti'thcir annual joint per¬ formance, an interesting program of one act plays and a Gilbert-Sullivan opera, to be repeated this evening. "The Clod," hy Lewis Ucach, laid in a border stale during the. Civil War, was an unusual venture for the Players, being distinctly melodranwtic in type and ending in a tlirilling climax. First honors must go here to Goldie 7)workiii for her inter- prctatinti of the frightened, puzzled farm woinani Maxwell Stern, hitherto seen in Iiroadly biunoroufi roles, presented a con¬ sistent cliaracter study as her stupid, lazy husband; while Irving niuinenstein, Harry Sliecter and Bert Marks were ex¬ cellent.as the hunted Nurlhcrncr and the two  Southern   Soldiers.
"The Inn of Discontent," an allegory by Percival Wilde, was in interesting coiUrast with its slowly evolving story and.drenm-'like atmosphere. The illusion of unreality was well sustained by a well- trained cast, consisting of the well-kiinwn f-lillclitcs, Louis Sher, Harry Lowcnthal, Arthur Hirsch. and William Gumberts, i'rances Sho.wer and Lconore Kux. .Es¬ ther Levinson and Emory Nnrris were c(|ually satisfactory as "the Sweet Young Thing," and "The Poet."  .
"Trial by Jury," directed by Samuel R. Goldmmi; who also coaclied the dra¬ matic offerings of the evening, proved again that "age cannot wither" the peren¬ nial charm of iSullivan's music or stale the sprightliness of Gilbert's wit. Two well known Hillcl actor's and singers, Saul R. Kaplan and Maurice A. Rosen¬ thal, as Judge and Usher, made their fifial bows to their Columbus audiences before graduation. Mrs. Dotiald B. Cole was the Plaintiff, lovely in voice and manner; Fred Hoffman scored as the Defendant, with Jerome Tushbant^ S. Earl Gordon and Genevieve Cinpone doy ing their tuneful share as the Counsel, Foreman of the Jury and First Brides¬ maid. The choruses of Bridesmaids, Jurymen and Audience were more than adequate iu the lyrics, both tuneful ard sentiniental. A splendid production st:tff was directed bv Marvin Feir, and W. W; Hunt of the,Fine Arts Department .de¬ signed the. settings. The 'accbmpaniM was Miss Florence Levin, backed by a capable orchestra. '
A second and final performance for which tickets may Ibe secured at the Hil¬ lel Foundation or the box office \vill be given this evening at 8:15.
All Columbus ZioniMa are urged to set aside Sunday, June 5th, as a day of de¬ votion to the Zionist cause, and take in¬ ventory of Zionist efforts in our com¬ munity. As wc arc about approaching the ii5th annual convention of the Zion¬ ist Organization of America, the officers of. the Cohmibiis District are asking what contributions lias Cohmibus Jewry made towards the realization of a life-long dream uf our ancestors, which has blos¬ somed forth ill all its s|)lendor upon the soil where once our glory stood. Joseph L. Schwartz is assisting in making ar¬ rangements for Flower Day,
Perhaps many Jewish homes will be reminded of the fact that I-*alestinc is a reality, through the annual celebration of I'lower Day which will be held on June r>lb, through the cooperation of all local Zionist groups under the aiispiccs of the Jewish National Fund. Miss Mary Monett will be .chairman of the Flower Day celebration; she will be asjiisted by Mr.s, Sanmc! Goldman.
It is in keeping with the s|»irit of the day tbat the president of the local Zioii¬ ist District, Dr. U. W. Abranison. has issued a call for all loyal Zionists to at¬ tend the special meeting of the District to elect delegates to the Zionist conven¬ tion which will take place tin July iirtl and ;lth at Philadelnhia.
The Zionist District meeting will, be held on Sunday, June uth, at H p. m. in the auditorium of the Columbus Hebrew School, 5.58 E. Rich Street. This meet¬ ing is open to the public.
A discussion oh contemporary Zionist problems will be a feature of the meet¬ ing which iwiill be directed by iRabbi Sol¬ omon Rivlin.

The KtHh ;unuml conveulion of District Grand Lodge No. % B'nai B'ritb, was held at the Miami Ilotcl in Dayton May 2!nb, .'JOtli, and :U.';t The conclave was a success in every resjicct. Imiiortant matters pertaining fo the good and wel¬ fare of the Order were discussed by the delegates- assembled. Many., important decisions  were arrived  at.

Tlie rcsiKJiisc in behalf .of the visitors. 1(1 the city was giveii by Josejih Cohen of Kansas'City, Kan., vice-president of tbe District. An address by iiichard E. Gutstadt of Cincinnati, national director of membership, was the hiE;b point of the ¦afternoon session. . Report of Executive Committee At the evening session, Sidnoj- G. Kus¬ worm of Dayton read to the assembled delegates a report of the Executive Com- nnttee_ of the Order and reviewed the Order's activities since the last, convcn-. tion held at West Baden Springs, In¬ diana.

On Monday afternoon the ladies were entertained with a bridge party at the Meadowlirook Country Cluib; on Tuestfciy afternoon they were given a luncheon at the Biltmore Hotel. A formal dinner dance for the delegates and their wives at the Miami Hotel Monday evening was .the outstanding social event of the con¬ veiition.
Rabbi Louis I. Newman of New York delivered a masterful address following the dinner in which he urged preparation for a new social order.
A New Order ' Rabbi Newman forecast this new order will be built on an Americanism in keep¬ ing with that .set forth with the,founding of the nation,
"Our message,'' he said, "is not .so much to Jews.as to non-Jews, Tolerance must come from the majority,
"In the new America, Jews must he ready to take chances, to assert the lib¬ eralism their forebears many years ago asserte*!. They must be the in.^piration to people everywhere."
liabbi Newman pleaded with the mid¬ dle class and the moneyed Jews to hold "an open mind and heart to the changes that are bound to come within the next 2,^ years." Even, he said, if such a change should be radical enough to mean the" end of the church and the synagogue. On the Firing Linie "I want the Jews to be on the firing line of social and economic justice," he asserted, "Champion the unpopular opin¬ ion. I want Jews to educate themselves to beconie niartyrs.
"Wc can be a chosen, people. We have an opportunity to save western society. Let us make America into the image of Israel, the' chosen. Let us ask the Gen¬ tile to collaborate, with us in a new .America of justice and frcalom and lib¬ erty and truth for all. that is to cbme.
"We must remember that in thes^ United .Stales, the new American must not rule the old American, not- the old .American the new American, hut justice and brotherhood nnist rule both." "Better Off" While Rabbi Newman found the Jews of America are better off than their I\nropean companions, he pointed out America has become a closed door, par¬ ticularly for the citizens of those coun¬ tries where Jews are. in the largest num¬ ber,?.
"[ do not question the immigration policy of the United States," he said, "but the chance for a Jew abroad to become a  free man is gone."
The Jews of Germany, Rabbi New¬ man asserted, are in imminent peril of the abrogation of their civil riRhts as they are in Poland and Rumania, ' "It had been thought." he said, "that Hitler could be laughed out of court. But the Brt'uning government has been defeated and the Hitlerites are gaining power."
Rabbi Newman aske<l members of the B'nai Il'rith to be ready to cooperate with other world-wide Jewish organiza¬ tions when Judaism is threatened with national and international problems.
The title of the address was "Georgt Washington and the Coordinance of Judaism and Americanism." >fe described bow Pilgrims, masters of the Hebrew language, took Hebrew names and how the laws of .the nation were modeled af¬ ter the laws of Mosci--
Lettcrs Read Rabbi Newina|i read parts of letters written by George W'ashington to Jewish i-iingregations at Savani^h, Ga., and Newport, R. I. He related how members ¦"tf the race came with the earliest set¬ tlers aud how they fouiJ[lit in the revolii* tion, the War of 1812 and the succeed¬ ing wars. ' \ ¦
"The .\mevican Jews," he said, "are huuiul to the destiny (tf the nation."
"1 lilush for shame when I meet Jews kowtowing to' the majority. Only^ by standing upright can Jews exact tolc- 1 ranee from the majority. If we whittle down mir Jewishness, we arc only in¬ juring our own welfare.
" 1 can't Ijelieve we need a Sinclair Lewis to show us <iur faults. But self- criticism is helpful. Nothing is more demoralizing than tbe revelations of con¬ gress and the political imjiiiries. Names of. Jews have been mentioned in these affairs  too often.
"Ratlier than become cats' paws to those politicians w;ho have designs, let the ]c\v?. stand aside as tbcy did when em¬ pires were being bujlt and torn down.. ,, ^ "If I would judge Jews, [ would rather' iudge then? by Cardozo and Brandies, the Jevyish economic  Jesuses."
.Sidnev Kusworm, Dayton, was chair¬ man and Simriii J. Heller. Denver, Colo,, retiring diatrict president, introtluced Riihbi Newman.
Dancing followed the address. The eighteenth convention of  the dis¬ trict closed Tuesday morning at the Mi- ati'i Hotel with an election of officers as follows :
Oflicers Elected Sainuel Goldstein of Lorain, Ohio, was elected president of District No. 3 for tbe coming year; Joseph Cohen of Kan¬ sas City, Kansas, .was,elected first vice- president ; Lonis Kranitz of St. Joseph, Mo., \vas elected second vice-president; Leonard H.
