Go East, Young- Woman
Horace Greeley achieved imniartal fame by coining tlic simple statement: Go west, ywuiifT man.
I now make a similar bitl £or the laurel wreath of ininiortality by rcvers- in.Gf Mr. Greeley's dictinn. i say—Go east, youliy; wonian, Palestine Nceda Women Why do I say so?
Because I have just been looking over some newly iniblishcd census figures about Palestine. I find that there are IT.OOQ more Jewish males there tliaii fc- liialos.
In other words, Palestine should be a woman's paradise. There woman is at a par above men by about twenty per cent. ¦ There i woman may dwell under her fiR tree ahd none will make her afraid— that she will remain a spinster.
The ancieat prophet predicted the day gloomy for women, when seven women would take one man and be^ him to be theirs. The prophet was evidently think¬ ing of another time than this, for now on the hills of Judea -one, and one-fifth men are on the trail of every one woman;

Not That Potash
It happened the other day at a dinner
given to Mr. Novomejsky, the man who
is in charge of the concession for the ex-
tractsof the salts of the Dead Sea.
Mr. Novomejsky had spoken very statistically and scientifically about the Dead Sea deposits, particularly about the richness of its deposits of potash.
Then Mr. Sokolow was called on. "I must confess," said the Zionist leader, "that the only thing I know about Potash is that he is a friend of Perlmutter." Rothenberg and the Rabbi They telt it of Morris Rothenberg. That, one day, while attending a long drawn out Zionist convention, he wearied of the hotel meals. It was the cry of the primitive in him. He longed—yes, his very soul longed for one of those simple old fashioned and yet so satisfy¬ ing replasts. So to a restaurant several blocks Irom the hotel he hied himself." The .'waiter came tip fbr his order. "Bacon and eggs,", said Rothenberg. . Shortly thereafter, there entered the same restaurant another delegate to the convention who was a rabbi.
Mr. Rothenberg was a bit embarrassed. Soo?^ the waiter would appear with his order of bacon and eggs—and here was a rabbi. It was a delicate situation, but diplomacy is almost a second sense to any Zionist veteran of as many years' ¦ standing as Mr. liothenberg. - When the waiter brought the bacon and eggs, Mr, Rothenberg looked on mu¬ radish ly—'* What is this? . I never or¬ dered bacon and eggs." '
"lIloF" asked the waiter,' and made a gesture to take if back.
"Wait a minute," interjected the rabbi, "if Mr. Rothenberg doesn't want it, I'll take it." , , *, u

"Take a friend of mine—a beautiful chorus girl. She was in a night club, . when there, entered a very mysterious and impressive looking young man.
"She had been at this club, frequently for many years, but had never seen him. I wonder what his name is, she repeated to herself. And then she asked of the others present, but none knew the young man's name. . t.
"Then a bright idea occurred to her.
She pulled her midget revolver out of
her purse and shot the yountr man dead.
"The next morning, she read his name
in the paper.". ¦
Mack and Cardozo It's not the business of this depart¬ ment to rectify the errors .of any of oUr <^steemed contemporaries but one story emanating from one of these columnists, calls-SO flagrantly for correction, that we depart from our usual procedure.
The story we have .reference to. is to the effect that Judge Mack has been looking very peeved of late, and the colmnnist after making this statement declares that the reason is that the Judge is peeved is because Cardozo was ap¬ pointed to the place which he coveted.
The truth is as wc happen to know, that Judge Mack was immensely pleased by the appointment of Cardozo. Van Pnsaen and Mussolini Pierre Van Passen, who is now in America, not so many months ago was visiting Rome . where he interviewed Mussolini. He had Muite a talk, in ¦ which Van Passen told II Duce that he was,going to Palestine next, and of ms interest in the Zionist movement.
Mussolini listened very keenly. "Fme,' he exclaimed^ "and when you get there, I want you to Call on a friend of mine —Ben Avi." „ ,„
"Yes," continued the dictator, "you 11 find this Ben Avi a remarkable man. Why, he even telegraphs in Hebrew! Another Melamed Story Carmel, not the wine, but the Cleve¬ land Zionist tells it.

Well, one day, a reader of Dr. Me- lamcd's paper was deeply stirred by one of his articles. He liked it immensely. He liked it, so much, in fact, that he couldn't sit still.

SHE WILL BE GUEST SPEAKER AT SISTER¬ HOOD SABBATH
Now entering the second month of the campaign for new members in the East Broad Street Temple, latest reports in¬ dicate that much progress has been made. The exhibition of enthusiasm, team work, and co-operation of the. workers was unparalleled in the history of this growing Congregation.
Memhers of both teams have, evi¬ denced a wonderful inclination in the covering of their prospects with the inevitable conclusion that no stone will be Itift unturned, to the end that every Jewish family in this city. unalFiHated with any synagogue will have been con¬ tacted for mcmiber&hip in the East Broad St. Temple.
Mr. I. H. Schlesinger, president of this active Tifereth Israel Temple group, stated that he was immeasurably pleased with the efforts of the workers in this campaign and the results they, have obr tained to date. He pointed with great pride to the fifteen new members who have already expressed the desire to fur¬ ther the ideals of this Temple as to make possible the desired advance along both religious and social lines, under the lead¬ ership of Rabbi Nathan Zelizer.
Members of the Blue Team are elated oyer the arHval of their Captain;' Harry Gilbert, who has returnc.^ ahead of his schedule- from a trip to Florida in order to again assume active leadership of his team.

All members of both the Blue and Red Teams, are urged to attend a short joint meeting called by their captains for Sun day March 13th, at 2:00 o'clock P. M. in the 'Committee rooms of the Temple,

Men and women of national promi¬ nence in the public and communal life of America have extended tributes to the National Council of Jewish Women, which will observe its-fortieth anniver¬ sary at its convention which opens at the Hotel Statler in Detroit, Michigan, on Sunday, March 27th.
Senator Royal S. Copcland of New York madespecial reference to the work of the Jewish mother as exemplified by the National Council of Jewish Women. "/ have ahvays said ami tviih no desire lo liciiltle other mothers, that the Jc-mish mother is. the best in Ihe tuorld. The work of this off/aniisation is enlisted lo mother the whole race: ft is a noble purpose ami 1 applaud it. In my City and Slate, with a iarqc Jeivish poptda- tion, nobody can enter viore syuXpathcti- cally into the vtany problems of Jezvry than this fine groMp."
The service of this organization in fur¬ thering good citizenship and in meeting many of the social welfare problems of the country is cited for special mention by Lieutenant Governor Herbert H. Leh¬ man of the State of New York. In his message to the National Council of Jew¬ ish Women, in anticipation of itfi fortieth anniversary convention. Lieutenant Gov¬ ernor Lehman states:
"/ have for a loncj time been deeply interested ¦ in the zvork of the National Council of Jewish IVovicn, largely be¬ cause of its ontstandinf) and effectide ef¬ forts to_ bring our foreign born popula¬ tion into step with American ideals, American customs and American life.
"Itt a very quiet- and unobtrusive way this orgattibation works throngh educa¬ tion along many and varied lines all cal-; cnhited to bring to the fatuity and to the individual a hctfer- unJerslatiding of each other and of the institutions of this cowt- try. Over a long period of years the Council, has shown its value as a com- liiunily agency ami has fidly earned sup¬ port of the members of the community." h\ the Honorable Florence Prag Kahn, Congresswoman from the Fourth District of California, the National Council of Jewish Women has found a public serv¬ ant who has always followed its work with a, great measure of interest. In her opinion, the outstanding service of this orjfanization has been its influence upon the Jewish immigrant:
"From my point of view the great ZL'ork done by, the Couttcil of Jewish IVonicn in teaching and inspiring the Jezvish immigrant with the ideals of Atnerican citizenship Is one of its ont- sfaitding achieventcnts. This work alone wottld justify its forty years of e.vistence to say ivolhing of its original work in, and cooperation with, all other organisations doing humanitarian and palriotie zvork." Doctor Cyrus Adler, President of the American Jewish Committee.'recalls in¬ cidents . that relate to the birth of this National organization and his cooperation with the founders. His message states that, in his opinion, the National Coun¬ cil ;of .Jewish Women, as the first na¬ tional woman's organization, pointed the way to other Jewish women's groups of national scope:
"/ was in Chicago for a considerable tinte during the year itv which tlie for¬ mation of the Council ivas considered and it zvas there that I got to knozv Mrs. Hannah G. Solomon, tvho zvas the lead¬ ing spirit. As a matter of. fact, I recall having talks zvith her zvhich rcsidted in zvhat I think zvas the first publication i.'!sued in the name of the Coimcil— namely, a volume of. Jewish tnnsic—and I had the.honor, of writing the foreword to that volume,
"As Mrs. Kohut pointed ont in her re¬ cent article on Tewish Women's Orijani- sation's, there were two early societies in Philadelphia formed by zcomch at the beginninif of the nineteenth cettlury; and. tozvard ' the middle of the ceiUttry, women, zvho have ahvays been benev¬ olent, formed societies in variotis parts of fhe country. But the Council was the first natjon-zvidc attempt at the organina- tion of Jezvish zvomen and il has not only been of great importance to the zuomen themselves in Jewish life, but 1 think has pointed to other societies of national scop'e."
A message was also received from Mr. Max j. Kohler of the Baron de Hirsch Fund and of the American Jewish Com¬ mittee whose relationship to the activ¬ ities of the National Council of Jewish Women has extended over a period of many years. He recalls the founding of the orgajiization and the impression it had made upon his sainted. father, the famous Jewish scholar. Kaufmann Koh¬ ler. In referring to this fact, Mr. Koh¬ ler has stated:
7 caty recall the Vcginnings of this offshoot of the Chicago World's Fair^ zvhich arranged the memorable World's Parliatnent of Religion as part of that celebration, of which Ihe Jezvish Women's .-tession was a part, and remem¬ ber the deep impression then made by this session on tny sainted father, Kauf¬ mann ICohler, and my uncle, Emit G. Hirsch, ax zvell as on my dear mother. The remarkable and bcjtcftcient develop¬ ments that resulted were scarcely autic- ipaled by anyoite.
"I have had the privilege since lgo5 nf being closely in touch ivith the Coun¬ cil's immigrant aid and Atncricaniaation zvork, anil hazv often enthused over its admirable results. Tlie immigrant Jczu- ess, zvhether single or a mother in Jsrael, has presented particularly difficult prob¬ lems, zvhich the Council did pioneer zvork in studyltig and thereafter in mdcting most successfully. Excellent Americani- sation zvork has follozvcd in the zvake of fhe Comieil's port and follow-uP zvork. Women ore particularly well qualified to conduct such activities.
"jMtterly, ^efforts to encourage farm and rural work among American Jews have been ably supplemented by ihe Council's plans to promote religious and social life among rural Jews. May the good zvork continue unabated for decades to com'e!"
The contribution made by the National Council of Jewish Women ia the protec¬ tion of Jewish immigrants and the es¬ tablishment of their rights was voiced by Miss Frances Taussig, Executive Di¬ rector of the Jewish Social Service As¬ sociation of New York City, a recognized leader and authority in the field of social welfare problems. She supplemented her message with the statement that I "Over a long period of years, wchave learned to- depend upon the Council for authoritative advice. informalio7i and co¬ operation, particularly in tfie field of immigration, problems."
In the view of Mr. Fred M. Butzel of Detroit, a recognized leader in Jewish communal and social welfare movements in the United States, and not alone in his community, no organization among the Jewish communities of Arherica has succeeded in uniting as broad a cross section of Jewry- as has the National, Council of Jewish Women. He prajses the organization for having enlisted such a vast amount of social energy that.might otherwise have gone to waste.
It is from his experience with the Na¬ tional Council of Jewish Women, as a committee member and immigrant chair¬ man of Congress that Representative Samuel Dickstein of the Twelfth District of New York made special mention, ih his message to the National Council of Jewish Women on its fortieth anniver¬ sary, of his observations on "how intensely and effectively your Council has been able lo unite families which zver'c separated during the World War and had. lost trace of one another. Von were able to a.';sist husbands to re¬ cover their lost zviz'cs and children, and zi'ives and children in Europe to recover their husbands in the United Stages." ^ A tribute is paid to one of the Presi¬ dents of the National Council of Jewish Women, the late Rose Brenner, in the message of Congressman Emanuel Celler of Brooklyn,. N. Y.:
"/( zvas my privilege to know Mtss Rose Brenner, one of its former Presi¬ dents, zvho has since gotie through the. valley of the shadow. Her penetrating vision and brilliancy of mind did i»«^/i; to speed the cause of the Council. Her successors in the Presidcticy hazfe also carried on the zvork of the Council upon the highest plane, and have most succe^s- fnlly disseminated knowledge of the his¬ tory and traditions of the Jewish faith among the Jezvish womanhood of the na¬ tion. I know of no organisation thai has done finer work .in the endeavor to re¬ move the harsh irritations and inhuman restrictions contaitted in our immigration and naturalisation lazvs. I have come into close contact with Iheir labors at Ellis Island, at Moiitrcal and al. Ha-
6ne of the features of the Convention will be the attendance of the founder of the organization, Mrs. Hannah G. Sol¬ omon of Chicago, Illinois, who was also the first President of the organization from the year 1893 to 19t>5. Mrs. Joseph E. Friend of New Orleans is the Presi¬ dent of the organization, having been elected for two successive terms since 192d. The Executive Secretary. Estclle M. Sternberger, has been serving in her office for twelve years since the Denver Convention in 1920.

Men and women of national promi¬ nence in the public and communal life of America have extended tributes to the National Council of Jewish Women, which will observe its-fortieth anniver¬ sary at its convention which opens at the Hotel Statler in Detroit, Michigan, on Sunday, March 27th. Senator Royal S. Copcland of New York madespecial reference to the work of the Jewish mother as exemplified by the National Council of Jewish Women. "/ have ahvays said ami tviih no desire lo liciiltle other mothers, that the Jc-mish mother is. the best in Ihe tuorld. The work of this off/aniisation is enlisted lo mother the whole race: ft is a noble purpose ami 1 applaud it. In my City and Slate, with a iarqc Jeivish poptda- tion, nobody can enter viore syuXpathcti- cally into the vtany problems of Jezvry than this fine groMp." The service of this organization in fur¬ thering good citizenship and in meeting many of the social welfare problems of the country is cited for special mention by Lieutenant Governor Herbert H. Leh¬ man of the State of New York. In his message to the National Council of Jew¬ ish Women, in anticipation of itfi fortieth anniversary convention. Lieutenant Gov¬ ernor Lehman states: "/ have for a loncj time been deeply interested ¦ in the zvork of the National Council of Jewish IVovicn, largely be¬ cause of its ontstandinf) and effectide ef¬ forts to_ bring our foreign born popula¬ tion into step with American ideals, American customs and American life. "Itt a very quiet- and unobtrusive way this orgattibation works throngh educa¬ tion along many and varied lines all cal-; cnhited to bring to the fatuity and to the individual a hctfer- unJerslatiding of each other and of the institutions of this cowt- try. Over a long period of years the Council, has shown its value as a com- liiunily agency ami has fidly earned sup¬ port of the members of the community." h\ the Honorable Florence Prag Kahn, Congresswoman from the Fourth District of California, the National Council of Jewish Women has found a public serv¬ ant who has always followed its work with a, great measure of interest. In her opinion, the outstanding service of this orjfanization has been its influence upon the Jewish immigrant: "From my point of view the great ZL'ork done by, the Couttcil of Jewish IVonicn in teaching and inspiring the Jezvish immigrant with the ideals of Atnerican citizenship Is one of its ont- sfaitding achieventcnts. This work alone wottld justify its forty years of e.vistence to say ivolhing of its original work in, and cooperation with, all other organisations doing humanitarian and palriotie zvork." Doctor Cyrus Adler, President of the American Jewish Committee.'recalls in¬ cidents . that relate to the birth of this National organization and his cooperation with the founders. His message states that, in his opinion, the National Coun¬ cil ;of .Jewish Women, as the first na¬ tional woman's organization, pointed the way to other Jewish women's groups of national scope: "/ was in Chicago for a considerable tinte during the year itv which tlie for¬ mation of the Council ivas considered and it zvas there that I got to knozv Mrs. Hannah G. Solomon, tvho zvas the lead¬ ing spirit. As a matter of. fact, I recall having talks zvith her zvhich rcsidted in zvhat I think zvas the first publication i.'!sued in the name of the Coimcil— namely, a volume of. Jewish tnnsic—and I had the.honor, of writing the foreword to that volume, "As Mrs. Kohut pointed ont in her re¬ cent article on Tewish Women's Orijani- sation's, there were two early societies in Philadelphia formed by zcomch at the beginninif of the nineteenth cettlury; and. tozvard ' the middle of the ceiUttry, women, zvho have ahvays been benev¬ olent, formed societies in variotis parts of fhe country. But the Council was the first natjon-zvidc attempt at the organina- tion of Jezvish zvomen and il has not only been of great importance to the zuomen themselves in Jewish life, but 1 think has pointed to other societies of national scop'e." A message was also received from Mr. Max j. Kohler of the Baron de Hirsch Fund and of the American Jewish Com¬ mittee whose relationship to the activ¬ ities of the National Council of Jewish Women has extended over a period of many years. He recalls the founding of the orgajiization and the impression it had made upon his sainted. father, the famous Jewish scholar. Kaufmann Koh¬ ler. In referring to this fact, Mr. Koh¬ ler has stated: 7 caty recall the Vcginnings of this offshoot of the Chicago World's Fair^ zvhich arranged the memorable World's Parliatnent of Religion as part of that celebration, of which Ihe Jezvish Women's .-tession was a part, and remem¬ ber the deep impression then made by this session on tny sainted father, Kauf¬ mann ICohler, and my uncle, Emit G. Hirsch, ax zvell as on my dear mother. The remarkable and bcjtcftcient develop¬ ments that resulted were scarcely autic- ipaled by anyoite. "I have had the privilege since lgo5 nf being closely in touch ivith the Coun¬ cil's immigrant aid and Atncricaniaation zvork, anil hazv often enthused over its admirable results. Tlie immigrant Jczu- ess, zvhether single or a mother in Jsrael, has presented particularly difficult prob¬ lems, zvhich the Council did pioneer zvork in studyltig and thereafter in mdcting most successfully. Excellent Americani- sation zvork has follozvcd in the zvake of fhe Comieil's port and follow-uP zvork. Women ore particularly well qualified to conduct such activities. "jMtterly, ^efforts to encourage farm and rural work among American Jews have been ably supplemented by ihe Council's plans to promote religious and social life among rural Jews. May the good zvork continue unabated for decades to com'e!" The contribution made by the National Council of Jewish Women ia the protec¬ tion of Jewish immigrants and the es¬ tablishment of their rights was voiced by Miss Frances Taussig, Executive Di¬ rector of the Jewish Social Service As¬ sociation of New York City, a recognized leader and authority in the field of social welfare problems. She supplemented her message with the statement that I "Over a long period of years, wchave learned to- depend upon the Council for authoritative advice. informalio7i and co¬ operation, particularly in tfie field of immigration, problems." In the view of Mr. Fred M. Butzel of Detroit, a recognized leader in Jewish communal and social welfare movements in the United States, and not alone in his community, no organization among the Jewish communities of Arherica has succeeded in uniting as broad a cross section of Jewry- as has the National, Council of Jewish Women. He prajses the organization for having enlisted such a vast amount of social energy that.might otherwise have gone to waste. It is from his experience with the Na¬ tional Council of Jewish Women, as a committee member and immigrant chair¬ man of Congress that Representative Samuel Dickstein of the Twelfth District of New York made special mention, ih his message to the National Council of Jewish Women on its fortieth anniver¬ sary, of his observations on "how intensely and effectively your Council has been able lo unite families which zver'c separated during the World War and had. lost trace of one another. Von were able to a.';sist husbands to re¬ cover their lost zviz'cs and children, and zi'ives and children in Europe to recover their husbands in the United Stages." ^ A tribute is paid to one of the Presi¬ dents of the National Council of Jewish Women, the late Rose Brenner, in the message of Congressman Emanuel Celler of Brooklyn,. N. Y.: "/( zvas my privilege to know Mtss Rose Brenner, one of its former Presi¬ dents, zvho has since gotie through the. valley of the shadow. Her penetrating vision and brilliancy of mind did i»«^/i; to speed the cause of the Council. Her successors in the Presidcticy hazfe also carried on the zvork of the Council upon the highest plane, and have most succe^s- fnlly disseminated knowledge of the his¬ tory and traditions of the Jewish faith among the Jezvish womanhood of the na¬ tion. I know of no organisation thai has done finer work .in the endeavor to re¬ move the harsh irritations and inhuman restrictions contaitted in our immigration and naturalisation lazvs. I have come into close contact with Iheir labors at Ellis Island, at Moiitrcal and al. Ha- 6ne of the features of the Convention will be the attendance of the founder of the organization, Mrs. Hannah G. Sol¬ omon of Chicago, Illinois, who was also the first President of the organization from the year 1893 to 19t>5. Mrs. Joseph E. Friend of New Orleans is the Presi¬ dent of the organization, having been elected for two successive terms since 192d. The Executive Secretary. Estclle M. Sternberger, has been serving in her office for twelve years since the Denver Convention in 1920. RABBI STEPHEN S. WISE TO SPEAK HERE APRIL lOTH Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York City will be honor guest and speaker at the annual dinner for the local Jewish college alumni to he held on Sunday, April lOth, at the Deshler-Wallick Hotel.
