He Wouldn't Give
There is one hiisiucss man in Chicago who would probably he interested in this Kosciiwald story. But he'll never know it.
But maybe—wlio knows—he may have suspected it himself.
Well, anyway, this business man whom we shall call X was a problem for the Jewish Charities of Chicago. They had asked him" for a contribution of a thousand dollars. But he could say no in all kinds of languages to a charity appeal.
Mr. Rosenwald, it will be remembered, not only gave heavily to the Jewish CJiarities of Chicago, but took an active interest in getting others to give. When Rosenwald heard of X's refusal, he said, "Let me handle X."
But a Trap Is Set One day, Rosenwald ran into X at a club. "Kan in" is not exactly the word, for on Rosenwald's part, it had been premeditated. "Hello, Mr. X," said Rosenwald.
X was plaiiily excited by ]Rosenwald giving him stlch a generous greeting. . "How is business?" asked Rosenwald. The truth is that business was then pretty good with X, but to Rosenwald, he descjibed it as even much better than it actually was. X went into raptures in his description of how the money was flowing in.
"Glad to hear it, indeed," said Rosen¬ wald. "And, by the way, have you thought of your contribution to the JTew¬ ish Charities. 1 am on the Committee this year and would like to bring it in. I was going to. ask yoii for a three thou¬ sand dollars contribution, but from what you tell me about your business, I think ybu ought to make it five thousand."
"Well, no—three thousand is enough," replied X. "I have to help out; you know, my wife's mishpacha."
And so it was three thousand.    "And they only ask;ed mc, first for a thousand," . X must have mused to himself, as Rosen¬ wald left.
A Lithuanian Outrage I don't know whether the Federation of Lithuanian Jews is still existing or not. But if it is and,Mr. Henry Hur- .witz is still its president, I call upon Mr, Hurwitz to summon the Lithuanians in solemn conclave. Ij'or a great "isbue im¬ pends. I dare say thi; Lithuanians have never faced a more challenging one.
It is notliinj^ lesb thair that herring has gone Al Caponish, Tlte national dish of the Litvacks, I am told, is now as much in the province of Gangsterdom as beer and laundries.
It seems a little silly to think of any one being put on the spot for attempting to muscle in selling herring to dealers, but this, I am told by authentic sources, is just what happens^
There you sit, beloved reader^—in your home on the' Jersey meadows or per¬ chance far out on the plains of Nebraska or the mountains of Colorado, partaking in all innocence of your herring and kar- tofel. You think ybu are a good Jew— , and maybe a good Litvak. But do you know that for that quiet munch of yours, men in New York are being taken for a ride?   "   .-¦ ¦ .1,  .
Oh, for an Edward Robinson to appear in some cinema, which shall adequately depict the great herring outrage—shall show the gangster mercilessly devouring men with his machine gun as you devour the salty herring. „
Two O'clock in the Morning One does not feel like listening to new proyjosals for "religious peace at two in the morning. But . vybat can you do, , when you are sitting in a Second Avenue cafe, and it's pouring cats, dogs and rat¬ tlesnakes outside. So nntil the rain sub¬ sides, we listen. Besides, the apostle of religious peace.has a queer took and we are a little afraid of him. We think of the Ancient Mariner at once, and in our mind -there begins to rotate; "By thy long gray heard and glittering eye," etc, Not that he had a long gray beard. He had merely the stubs of one—a face that looked like it had needed- a .shave for about three days. But the glittering eye. is there.
M«zuzas and Harmony "You are a writer," he said, "and I haye a plan for bringing about a great fusion of  Catholics and Jews.    If you help, we can both win immortality."
*T would be more interested," I replied, "if I could' win less immortality and more cash. You may have heard that there are hard timps."
The apostle continued onmovcd, with his glittering eye focused on me.
"Men," he said, "live by symbols. Men give up their lives in war for a flag— a symbol. It was not slavery, byt the firing at the flag at Fort Sumter, which
brought on the Civil War "
A couple of tables from me, a pretty young woman had just given a good-bye kiss to a man—maybe it was he/ brother, fiance—I don't know who. The stranger pointed to that, "You see, she kissed him.   The kiss is a symbol."
"I wish," I remarked, "she would come over to this table and dp a little sym- holing."
The stranger went on as grimly sober as before. "Men live by symbols. What the world needs for religious harmony is some symbol to unite the various creeds. 1 have' such a one." "Yes?" I asked.
"I have such a symbol," he repeated, fixing his eye on me with a stare even more grim.
"Would you care to whisper it to me?" I asked,
He bent over.   "I will.   Let us com¬ bine the mezuza with the crucifix—and make a mezuzafix." With that, he suddenly upped and left - (Continued on page U)

Orphan   Home   Membership
Campaign   Succeeding,
Committee Reports
A commiltee, consisting of Mrs. Fred Lazarus and Mrs, E. J. Schanfarber, to raise funds for the Jewish Orphan Home, Cleveland, Ohio, by memberships and donations, is meeting with considerable success. Nearly 100 women have taken out memberships, or made donations to the Home.
The campaign for annual memberships will continue for about ten days. The need is a pressing one. Owing to the shrinkage of income, it is imperative to have funds to carry on the work of this wonderful child care home that has been so near'to the hearts of Columbus Jewry for these many years. The success of the Colnmbus women will be an incen¬ tive to other communities to likewise shoulder their share of this responsibility. Those who have not already subscribed will facilitate the work by communicating with either member of the Committee.
In a future issue of the Chronicle, a complete list of subscribers and donors will be published.

CHICAGO—The last rites for Julius Rosenwald, America's leading Jewish pliilanthropidt, were held ' Jatmary 7, in the privacy of Iiis Ravinia home in the presence only of niembers of his imme¬ diate family.
All iiomp was barred and flowers were omitted in accordance with the: dying wish of the Jewish leader. No represen¬ tatives of the widespread interests to which he contributed so generously of his wealth were present to pay a iwrting tribute. This too was in conformance witb the wish of Mr. Rosenwald, ex¬ pressed as his end neared, that none but his family be present at the last rites. To insure the privacy which he desired, the greatest secrecy was attached to the arrangements for tlie services. 15th, 23rd and 2'lth Psalms Read at Simple Service Rabbi Louis L Mann of the Sniai Synagogue of which Mr. Rosenwald was a vice-president, officiated in the presence of the widow, Mrs. Adele Rosenwald, his five children, Lessing. and William of Philadelphia, Mrs. Marion Stern of Chicago, Mrs. Edith Stern of New Or¬ leans, and Mrs. Adele .Levy of New- York; his two brothers, Samuel and Morris Rosenwald, and his sisters, Mrs. S. L. Eisendrath and Mrs. Max Adler, of Chicago. The services themselves were very simple and included the read¬ ing of the loth,' 23rd and 24th psalms whicli were Mr, Rosenwald's favorites. Interment was in the family vault at the Rosehill Cemetery.        .      ,
Mr. Rosenwald passed away In his sleep Wednesday afternoon. He awoke at eleven o'clock in the - morning after ¦ twenty hours of sleep, smiled at his physician. Dr. Herbert Pollack of New York, "and fell into a sound slumber from which he never awoke. At his bedside when the end came were his widow and his children.
Throughout his long illness which be¬ gan last spring, he showed a rare cour- agel ,„His niind was active to the end and until Monday he read the liewspaper thoroughly and expressed an interest in world affairs. During the period of his confinement to his home, he was pri¬ marily interested jn his philanthropic ac¬ tivities. A week ago, he realized that his end was near and seemed contented that bis house was in order. When his children were, summoned to his bedside last Monday, he expressed happiness at seeing tbem and his attitude told them plainly that he did not expect to Hve long.
Gave $55,000,000 in 31 Yeats Mr. Rosenwald contributed the sum of :>!35,000,000 for educational, charitable and religious purposes, in the years be¬ tween 189!) and 11)31, it was revealed to¬ day by the Rosenwald Foundation. The sum represents tabulation of incomplete records for the past 31 years. Of this sum, $^14,^39,971 represents the value as of June, 192!), of the shares of the Sears Roebuck Company which' were turned over to the Rosenwald Foundation.. The personal contributions of Mr. Rosenwald, apart from the Foundation, amounted to $24,568,070.98.
The Chicago City Council, by unani¬ mous standing vote, today adopted a resolution expressing sympathy to the family of Julius Rosenwald. Negroes to Hold Memorial Meeting A group of Ntegro citizens on their own initiative today annonnced plans for a memorial service to be held in memory of Julius Rosenwald sometime during the month, probably on Januai*y 17th.
The Committee on Arrangements is headed by Gary B. Lewis, managing editoi- of the "Chicago Bee," J^ Wesley Jones, director of the Metropolitan Choir, and Rev. Joseph M. Evans, of the Metropolitan Community Church, President Hoover's Tribute . President Herbert C. Hoover when in¬ formed of the passing of Julius Rosen¬ wald said: .
The death of Julius Rosenwald in Chicago todiiy deprived the country of an outstanding citizen._ His business abil¬ ity and sound experience in communal achievements were of great magnitude, and importance.
His patriotism was reflected both in his services in the cause of a national defense during the War and his devo¬ tion to the upbuilding of the life of the community and country in times of peace. One of his conspicuous contributions to public welfare was through his humani¬ tarian activities. His warm hearted hu¬ manity and sympathy for all mankind resulted in munificent gifts for the ad¬ vancement of public health, education, housing and the wide reach of social amelioration.
He was a distinguished patron of the arts. The Foundation he created for the well-being of mankind constituted a monument to his vision, sympathy and generosity.
