Drink and  the Talmud
While .sampling smiic of the products (hat ruiJL'nl of the Cnnslitntioti lias re¬ cently bnKiglit, it was brought out by ah erudite T;ihinidic scholar who was in the party thai the la.st tvords about the vary¬ ing effects of drink had been .said in the Talmud long ago. _ There is a t-lory in the Talmud npropos
ftf this,  lie
pointed out, coinicctcd with
Noah, who of course, typifies Ibo tlrulik- ard of Uiblical days.
When Noah took his first drink, says this story, he oilorcd to God a' sacrilicc bf Iamb.
Meaning to nay that the fir.st effect of drink is a .sort of relaxing, quieting ef- fcct~iii other word.s lamb-like.
When Noah took his second drink, he brought a sacrifice of a lion.
Mcaiiijig to say that after the second drink, one feels, cpcky, able to lick a whole regiment—like a lipn.
When Noah took his third drink- he brought a sacrifice of a monkey.   .
Meaning'to say—that the effect of the tliird drink is to make you very very .   playful—monkcylikc, don't you know.
When Noah took the fourth drink, he brought a sacrifice of a pig,
That'i.s to say,'that tlie effect of the fourth is to make a pig out of you.
It seems to me there is some swell psychology in this story from the Talmud.
We End Without Pockets
M. Rudcnsky of the Jewish National Fund lias just returned froni a tour of the east coast. In one of the towns, he had an interesting little encounter.
In tin's particular town, there lives ^..^ Jew—who not only will not give to.char- ity or Zionism but even boasts about it. ¦ Well, when Rndensky came to this town, lie had this man's nanie on the list. When he was told by fellow tovvnsnien that it was no, use visiting this' liard-heartcd Jew, 'Rudcnsky decided to chance , nevcrthcluss—just to see what sort of a biological specimen this man was like.
So our next scene finds Mr. Rndensky in the store of . this hard-boiled Jew, whom, we shall call Mr. X.
Rudcnsky explained his mission—that he was representing the Jewish National Fund which was' planning, to establish Gernian Jewish refugees in Palestine etc., etc.
Mr. X, however, bluntly as usual, said no and added "I never give."
Rudcnsky surveyed the man for while and then looking severely at him, asked him: "What are. you, an orthodox Jew or a Reform Jew.^"
"Orthodox,"'said the man. ;  "Well," said Ruden.sky, "I'm glad you arc an orthodox Jew I" . "Why?" asked the man.
"Well," said Rudcnsky, "when you die —and judging' froni your looks, it won't be long now, they will bury you tachrichint,. (shrouds; that have pockets), T was afraid maybe you were a Reform Jew, for in that case, they '^ would bury you in a regular suit and then you'd have a chance to take your money with you. I'm awful glad you are an orthodox'Jew."
Force Is Futile
Rudcnsky by tlie way tells a very good story about an orthodox Jc^y who hap ' pciied to pass a Reform lemjile in Berlin in .the good old days, and being in a prayerful mood decided to go in and have a little pray.
This was a very dignified sort of tem¬ ple, and all the worshipping was done of coiir.ie in a perfectly respectful manner.
The Russian Jew, however, when he prayed, prayed in the good old orthodox fashion. He chanted and sounded his nntes high and loud. The sexton seeing him rushed up and nudging him remon¬ strated;
"Jnde, shtillcr, shtillcr, Mit bazcii vet ilir gariiischt ausfuhreii." (Quieter, quieter—you won't accomplish anything by violence.)
Closed on Saturday
Which reminds mc of the old story they used to tell about the Reform Tem¬ ple ill Berlin a good many moons ago. It was not really a story, but a wise crack. They would ask: "Which is the '¦•froomest (most pious) place in Berlin?"
And then the answer would be: "The Reform Temple, because it is closed on Saturday. (This particular temple held its services on Sunday.)

Hadassah to Raise $200,000
for  Building  Hospital
at Jerusalem
Launching of ;i joint campaign by Hadas.sah, Wuinaii's Zionist Organiza¬ tion of America, and llie American Jew¬ ish Phy.<ijcian's Committee lo raise *'JUf>,000 for the building of the Hadas- sail University Hospital at Jerusalem, is now under way, with contributions being solicited.
Work on the hospital will be started as soon as a substantial part of the money is raised in order that adequate facilities can be offered the many em iucnt Jewisii refugee physicians from CJcrmany wbo are anxious to find placc- meiils in Palestine.
For many years Hadassah and the American Jewish Physician's Committee have been working toward creation of a University medical center to combine health services for the people of Pale; tine with scientific research in proper laboratory facilities and establishment of a faculty of medicine for teaching.
.At this tinic the urgency for the project and the Jewish emergency re- (juircmcnts make the endeavor impera tive.
Jewish medical scientists of Univer¬ sity rank who have .been driven from their posts by the anti-seniitic upheaval in Germany arc available to become the faculty of medicine and to liea!d the de¬ partments for a model hospital institu¬ tion.
The large number of physicians in Palestine calls for a plan for post grad¬ uate training rather than an under grad- .uafc school. The time for putting into effect an institute that shall rank high and build up a creditable University di partnient of medicine is propitious. That gives the university the opportunity for proper academic requirements and gives Hadassah and the American Jewish Physician's Committee the chance- to crown its health structure by creation of a model institution for healing, teaching and research.    ¦ ''
'Creation bf a radiology ceiiter, the only one of its kind- in the near east, headed by an cniinent Jewish scientist, a refugee from Germany, has,already been established as a forerunner of the build¬ ing of the hospital. Cancer cures- are being studied here which may place Pal¬ estine in the lead in fighting this dread disease. The great privilege must hot be lost by Jewry at this crucial time.
Joe Penner Appears in Per¬ son at Elk's World Fair Starting Monday
Jog Penner, who will appear in per¬ son at the Elk's World Fair for one week beginning Monday, has been ad judged as the most popular comedian and entertainer on the air by radio critics and the general public, according to re¬ sults of a contest announced over the radio on a nation-wide hook-up last week. Joe, who is famous for his duck selling propensities on the air and stage, got his start hunting and selling frogs as a boy: In Detroit he worked lis time¬ keeper in a large auto plant and grad' ually drifted  into  amateur theatricals.
He does not come to Columbus as a stranger. Penner has appeared on stages on several occasions, his most recent being a few' years ago in local vaudeville engagement. Penner owes his start in radio to Kudy Valle, who had him as a guest artist on his program some months ago. Penner clicked so well that he immedialoly was besieged with con¬ tracts and the regular Sunday evening broadcast is the outgrowth. Penner will arrive in Colunibus Monday morning, leaving New York immediately after his radio broadcast Simday evening. His first appearance is scheduled in Memo¬ rial Hall Monday afternoon, the show beginning at 3:30 p. m.
There will be other popidar and well knowii entertainment at the matinees, including Hatch's Dog and Pony Show; Galvanda, the magician and illusionist, Freddie Rose, the monkey acrobat, Dayna Derc's Dancers and Dimmick's Slunnybrook Band, which will siipijort Penner and other acts, both in the aft¬ ernoon and evening performances.
Evening shows at the Elk's Home, wliiciv began Friday, start'at 7:^0 p. in., and will be augmentetl to the highest pitch when Penner and his retinue go on the stage, duck and all, Monday night.
The Sunnybrook orchestra is the joy oi dancers, while the Dcre Girls arc clicking along with other novelty acts' and features.
The ])lace is full of clowns and fini- (Continucd on page 2)
