Kosher Ovcr the Radio
There arc tliosc who will tell you that Al Smith tlocs not use a correct EiigliBh. His siJLCch the other night at Newark shows that he can not only still make the most interesting specclies of any of the campaigners, but that lie employs sonic of the most rarely used words in the dic¬ tionary.
I wonder how many people know what the word "kosher" means. I am talking of the English word "kosher."
Look in your Funk & Wagnalls and you will see it defined thus: "Permitted by our fulfilling requirements of law; clean, pure usually said of foods, com¬ posed to traf."
You probably never heard o£ that word before. Yet it is there in all its glory ensconced as a inembcr of the brother¬ hood of English words.
And Al Smith used it the other night in his Newark speech. Yet there are people that think that Al doesn't know a . correct and proper word ivhen he sees it. JuBt Around the Corner I was sitting the other day in a doc¬ tor's ofEcc and couldn't help overhear¬ ing it.
. A young woman was chopping a tea¬ pot (and that expression by the way ought to get in the dictionary, too) to ^someone at the side of her. She ap¬ parently was a nurse, and she was tclliijg this second party, that,she had an op¬ portunity to get work in Russia, but friends here, had advised her against it and had told heir that here too. ."The revolution was Just around the corner." " You could have knocked me over with a chocolate soda straw. I could have melted in the air, just like that. But Aren't We All? And yet aiiiazing as such sanguine' faith is, I wonder, if and when a revo¬ lution does come, won't the majority of less believing folk be equally skeptical. , The ability to divine properly impend¬ ing great events is most rare. History shows that the wisest are always blind. How many Americans thought of inde¬ pendence until the few months before July, 1776, though the struggle had been going on for years? Consult your his¬ tory and you will be surprised how few. Southerners before the Civil War of¬ fered to drink up all the blood that would , be shed, sp little of a war did they ex¬ pect.    V
And why go back to old history? Con¬ sider Mr. Hoover himself. He's a smart man. Everybody must admit that. He- started out as a. poor farm boy. He worked his way through college. Made millions in mining, Becamb an inter¬ national figure in food relief. Became President.
I started out too as be did^and haven't even gotten through the first stage. Never got through college. And there are fifty million like me.
Hoover is smart. And oh,yes, he was Secretary of Commerce. And there be was great on preparing reports on busi¬ ness conditions. Reducing bu.siiiess and business conditions to a science, making forecasts, etc.
And yet you remember not so long
ago, one recent day he came out  and
pontificially   said   "tbe   worst   is   over"
.  which meant to say that Prosperity was
just around,the corner.
And the next day occurred the great¬ est stock crash in history. So take your choice between Herbert Hoover and the young Communist nurBe^
Speculation and Depression If too much population is the cause of the present condition, I ask you to ex¬ plain the great panic of 1837.   Surely the \xountry  was  not  overpopulated  at  the time.
What is the cause of the present con¬ dition, you ask. I don't profess to know. But I think it might not be so foolish for Mr, Hoovei" to consider that previous to the panic of 1837, for about, five years cve:rybody was getting rich or thought tbey were gretting rich on paper profits in land speculation, and that previous lo the present one, about the same thing o,c- curred, Wlien people try to get something tor nothing, as- the speculator does, there is likely to be trouble People can get something for nothing only on the con¬ dition that the others get nothing. Some body has got to pay for the something. Revenge for Winehell Developments seem to be following in the Winehell plot thick and fast, recall¬ ing the Passover story .of tbe dog that ate the cat and the wolf that devoured the dog and so on.
You recall, as noted in this column previously, that the editor of the Mirror recently wrote a volume, called "The Scandal Monger," painting Winehell as the villain and him-self as tbe hero. Well, now there has come another volume from the press called "Circulation" in which the young woman who was formerly the secretary of the author of Scandal Monger, paints the author o f "The Scandiil Monger" as the villain and Winehell gets off pretty well. And the go-ssip goes that the young woman has done a very good job.
Now if some one will expose the young woman secretary, tbe job should be complete.
In the Mail Milwaukee: Why don't I say some¬ thing about Harr^ Newman "Who grid¬ irons for the University of Michigan"? The principal reason is that I hardly know the difference between a football gridiron and a waffle iron. The subject belongs to the province of my colleague in columning, who specializes in sports- George Joel,

Tbe sessions were marked by ail intense interest in every phase of Hadassah's. medical and public health work in Palestine and its educational pro¬ gram in America, and.,the delegates par- , ticipatcd in numerous discussions on the eunvention floor and at round-table ses¬ sions. : I'"nrther'steps in the program of devo¬ lution, whereby Hadassah gradually turns y\cr to the Jewish community in Pales¬ tine its curative wbik while increasing its preventive program; tbe building of the , Hebrew University Hospital, and t!ie erection of modern, adequate build¬ ings to house the Hadassah institution's —these are the outstanding points'' in . Hadassah's program in Palestine for the coming year. Fund-raising-, a. concerted drive for increased membership and an intensive campaign in Zionist education will be Hadassah's American program. Dr. Yassky gave an interesting sur¬ vey,of Hadassah's work in Palestine, in its curative and preventive divisions. Hf described the progress made in certain endeavors and tbe problems confronting Hadassah. In the four Hadassah hos¬ pitals, he said, 11,000 patients were treated in 1931, and in the dispensaries 80,000 patients. He announce<I that Miss Amelia Greenwald, an expert in nursing, will go to Palestine soon to make a. thorough survey and investigation pf Hadassah's mirsing service. The nutri¬ tion department accomplished interesting and important work during the year. It not only supervised the dietetics of the Hadassah institutions, but conducted popular lectures in proper diet to teach¬ ers, restaurant keepers, and housewives, and recently made an inquiry into the food habits of the agricultural colonies for the Hebrew University. Dr. Yasslcy said there is a marked improvement in the fond habits of the Jewish communi¬ ties due to the very intensive work of the Hadassah nutrition department.
Certain phases of Hadassah's work,. Dr. Yas-sky said, especially that of school hygiene, were unequalled in America or European countries.
Health e<lucation continues to be one of   the   chief. activities   of   the   Straus , Health Centers in Tel Aviv and Jeru¬ salem,   the  Hadassah  headquarters  for preventive work.
A budget of approximately 5^257,000 was adopted by tbe convention for Hadassah's Palestinian work and |its par¬ ticipation in the Jewish National Fund. In connection with the Jewish National Fund it was decided to establish a Hadas¬ sah forest of 10,000 trees in Palestine, . The convention unanimously approved the plan for erecting a University Hos¬ pital. The selection of a site and archi¬ tectural plans for the building will be determined upon as soon as Mrs. Jacobs and Dr. Yassky_ reach Palestine. At one of tbe convention sessions Dr. Nathan Ratnoff, head of the American Jewish Physicians' Committee, which is cooper¬ ating with Hadassah in ihe establish¬ ment of the hospital, announced the latest plans in tlil-s project. The hospital will he connected with tbe proposed under¬ graduate school of medicine, he said, tbe first part of which will be a maternity pavilion. The committee that will choose a site consists of Dr. Judah Magnus, (hancellor of the University; Miss Hen¬ rietta Szold, Mrs. Jacobs, Dr. Yassky, Professor I, J. Kligler, head of the Straus Health Center iu Jerusalem; Dr. Ratnoff, ¦ and L Green, consulting engi¬ neer of the University. Another building on which construction will begin spon , will be the N^rvin Lindheim Gljnlc of Hadassah in Tiberias.
