Doctor B. W. Abrnnison next spoke upon "Theodore Herzl." He told of the activity of Herzl from the time of. the Dreyfus Case until his death, for the or¬ ganization of the effort for Palestine through the medium of the Zionist or¬ ganization. He pointed out the similarity between the two great leaders, Bialik and Herzl.
Following this, Roy J. Stone, chairman of the meeting and president of the Co¬ lumbus Zionist I^istrict, appealed to the audience for a greater Zionist effort in Columbus, throughout the next year, as a tangible tribute to the memory of Bi- ahk. He pointed out that during the coming year, the Zionist Organization of America was making a special and in¬ tensified effort to secure the lowering down of the bars to Jewish immigrants in Palestine. This would be done with negotiations with the British Govern¬ ment which in order to be successful, must have the united support of the entire Jewry and be supported by a vigorous and strong Zionist membership.
Cantor S. Silverman and Cantor O. Yablok rendered the memorial prayers. Robert Mellman and Abe Robbins were the committee in charge of arrangements.

In Haifa, as In Tel Aviv, the Jewish population of the city is actively inter¬ ested in the building up of a new Pales¬ tine.
The new harbor city is growing apace, noisily, furiously. On busy Hadar Ha- carmel, apartment houses, built with a view to the greatest income on the small¬ est output, are crowding against each other. High up on the wooded slopes of the Carmel, too, Jewish businessmen are erecting summer houses and profitable ho¬ tels. And in. the bourgeois quarter of Bat Gjillm, stretching out on the seiashore near Elijah's Cave, as well as in Naveh Shaanun, looking' down from its height on the mountain to the blue Kisbon river, everywhere the same picture may be seen of Jewish enterprise and activity; every¬ where the Jewish Yishub is gaining a foothold. More and more property is earning into Jewish hands, dnc to the constant flow of immigrants who arc steadily invading the cities, seeking the industrial and commercial niches to which they were accustomed in their old homes, bringing with them new methods of busi¬ ness and manufacture from abroad, cre¬ ating a rapidly extending market for for¬ eign products, and also for the natural fertilizers which the Arab village pupula!- tion very largely produces.
Such is the economic structure and background of Jewish national enterprise in Tel Aviv, and Haifa is now moving iu the same direction. .The speculators property and the business men of both cities are so absorbed In the competitive struggle for the acquisition of new hold- uigs, as close as possible to the commer¬ cial centers, that they have no time to consider the practicability of their,enter¬ prises. In the excitement created by the infiltration of Jews through the closely guarded gates of the National Home seeking a refuge from persecution in other lands, speculation is rife. Both Jews and non-Jews are doing well. The Jews arc building flats and opening up.shops, the Arab farmers are bringing in their pro¬ duce to dispose of it in the ready market. In Haifa, too, Arab laborers may be seen engaged in the construction of Jewish buildings, even as in Tel Aviv. Jews are pocketing the gains of house-renting and flat-letting, while.the wages of labor are laid to Arabs. The new type of Jew. the product of the newly built cities in Palestine, is a practical person. He has no time to reflect on the economic sound ness of his course, for he is loo busy pin- suing a much-prized building plot, for re¬ sale or Hat-building. Already, In these same Jewish cities, recently built in Pales¬ tine, there are Jews who live in dark, air less, sunless basement houses.
But there is another type of Jew. who is not satisfied with the prevailing fever of speculation.and it's quickly gotten gains. Such Jews are to he found in Haifa, as elsewhere, in the country. They too have vision of the establishment of a new comniunity to he built on better and stronger foundations than those upon which the bustling, bourgeois quarter of Hadar Hacarmel stands.
Kiryat Hayim is the name, of the set¬ tlement now arising in Haifa Bay on Jewish National Fund land. It lies close to the sea, in the region known in the Bible as the Valley of Zebulun. It is a flat sandy stretch ' of territory, behind which rises the chain of Zebulun hills and beyond which appears the towering Car¬ mel range, clear-cut against the deep blue of the summer sky. .On the sea-front an establishment for the preparation of rock oil is being erected. The sea itself does not lie in the line of vision from the settlement because of the undulating sand dunes which obstruct the view. From the water lower, however, a magnificent pan¬ orama is to be seen of the curving blue mirror of Haifa Bay and the narrow, winding ribbon of the River Kishon.
This v/atcr tower, crowned with Its stately seven-branched Chanukah candle¬ stick, is the pride of the community, for the spot is blessed with an a.bundaitce of water. Wherever the ground has been bored a spring of water has gushed forth.
[ The only drawback of the soil lies in the fact that the upper stratum is not altogether firm and stable, for it is a continuation of the sand dunes which the ocean winds have blown over the shore through past ages. Yet measures have been taken with good effect against this phenomenon. In order to stabilize the shifting sandy soil, and , to protect the vegetables, the settlers have planted be¬ tween the beds many different species of fruit trees for the cultivation of which the climate of the Carmel region Is peculiarly favorable. For this purpose apple and pear trees have already been planted, and plum, apricot and peach trees will shortly be added.
It is interesting to note that one dunam of l!an[l, so-planned and planted, is suffi¬ cient for the maintenance of dne family. The Jewish National Fund has leased the land for a period of 99 years, allotting one dunam to each family, and the Keren Hayesod (Palestine Foundation Fund) has as-sisted the settlers In establishing themselves and in acquiring utilities of primary importance.
Each smaller hohling includes a house for living tjuarlers. and additional space for the building of chicken coops. Al¬ ready all the settlers have arranged to borro.w money from a bank, each family taking six pounds, towards the purchase of the first 2.'j chickens of the well-known Rossen brand, which arc sold by the Jew¬ ish farmers in the neighboring Valley of Je:i:rcel.
The.sniall portion of land allotted to each family allows' also for a ci^rtaln aniouiit of dairying, although this project necessarily entails a curtailment of their plantations.
The siiceess of the entire undertaking is dependent to a verj' large degree on the Industry, intelligence and initiative of the women, for the men in this newly es¬ tablished settlement work in the city, adding the earnings to the resources of their farms' Among them are Jews of the old-fashioned -type, self-condemned to an existence of competition and struggle, prepared to live a hand-to-mouth exist¬ ence in the restricted quarters of the modern,'commercialized apartment houses of the cities. Tliey have succeeded in rescuing thcniselyes from this state by traiisplantatlou to the land while they were still young enough and strong enough to be able to^work, the husband • in town and the wife on the farm.
Jn tlic first year of their settlement on the land of Kiryat Hayim the settlers have erected 200 houses. This is the first cpiarter to be established, although two similar suburban communities of TiOO houses have heen measured out and plan¬ ned on national land cIo.se ' by Kiryat Hayim. Three Peoples' Banks have ad¬ vanced the loans for this purpose on easy terms extending ovcr \~\ 10 and 8 years.* The monthly payment on a two-roomed house with.a kitchen and a balcony equal to half the amount which one rooni would cost in the city. The payment also hicludes electricity and water rates and taxes for street pavements.
The streets of the workers' <|uarter in Haifa Bay have iiot yet acquired names. For convenience they have been numbered. Only the main street which joins the Haifa Acre highway is covered with as¬ phalt as yet, The other streets are still in the process of being paved. A com¬ munity center is being built. The coun¬ cil chamber of the village has already been completed. Already it contains two desks and a book-case and a telephone, and a large picture of Dr. Chaim Arloso¬ roff, after whom the settlement is named, hangs on the wall. A school is also be¬ ing built, as welt as a folks' halland a store. A site has been selected fqr a synagogue. The settlers of Kiryat Hayim are not orthodox. The Sabbath has for them a social and cultural significance, not a religious meaning. Nevertheless there are among them a number who feel the need of a place of worship. Whi they had first arrived at the settlement a Juit had been put up to serve this purpose, whereupon a religious JeXv of Haifa had (Continued on page 2)
BERLIN (WNSl—Hitler's whining and apologetic speech to tlic rubber-stamp Kciclistag, which accepted with enthusi¬ asm his hollow and unconvincing defense of the slaughter of 77 storm troop lead¬ ers, monarchists. Catholics and other al¬ leged traitors against his^ regime, has given rise to numerous interpretations, the most common of which is that Hitler's power is badly shaken, but that for the time being he i^ In no danger. His long and boring account, in which he defied the world-wide boycott and reiterated his familiar attacks on the "International Jew¬ ish Nfarxist conspirators," whom he hiamed, in part, for the uprising, was gcn- erglly unconvincing.
From the tenor of his explanation it was generally believed that Hitler's hold is not as firm as he would have the world believe. His frequent references to the supremacy of the army and President von Hindcnburg, whom he acknowledged as his superiors, are held to indicate that Hitler is merely the mouthpiece for the Rcichs.wehr and the industrial barons, who are awaiting the proper opportunity to oust him. Thus far, however, there is nothing to show that outwardly, at least, Hitler Is not the supreme ruler.
Nothing in his speech can be inter¬ preted as foreshadowing any lessening of antl-Seinitlsm. On the contrary, there are reports in well-informed circles that the drive against the Jews will be con¬ tinued with accustomed vigor. Violence, howerer, will he eschewed, it is said, order to mollify world opinion and perhaps force a curtailment of the tight¬ ening boycott. While there has heen no

KF.W VORK (WNS)—The Hitler regime has launched an extensive effort designed to ccpnvince the world that it is now friendly to the Jews and in confirma¬ tion of this so-called amity has arrested and imprisoned 11 storni troopers for "at¬ tacks ending hi the death of a Jew/' ac¬ cording to an exclusive dispatch from Wiesbaden to the New,York Daily Mir¬ ror. The dispatch says that "Chancellor Hiller. more powerful than ever in his career, as overlord of Germany^ today launched a publicity program, aimed at countries outside of Germany, in which he is ]iainted as a friend of the Jews. Through the government controlled radio and press bureaus the.world learned to¬ day that at Hitler's express orders 11 storm troopers were sent to pris<in for •attacks ending in the death of a Jew.'
"The name of the Jew was not fur- nishcil. since Jews have been virtually,, disenfranchised In the Reich. However, the. fact that the victim of the storm, troupers' attack was a Jew was 'played up' In the news releases. Three of thC storm troopers found guilty as the insti¬ gators of the attack on a Jcwisli inhabi¬ tant of the town of Idstein were sentenced to prison terms ranging from six to ten years. Eight other storm troopers were given shorter sentences, with a maximum; of four years. The new Volksgericht. the 'People's Court' founded by Hitler, was the tribunal before which the ¦ eleven troopers vverc brought.
"According to the testimony, the guilty troopers seized the inoffcnsiye Jew and hung a placard reading 'a betrayer of the
official statement. regarding the future. (^^^^.,^,3,^ pg^j^i^,- abound his neck.

Some of the .more optimistic Jewish Icadcr.s, however, feel. that a change for the better can be expected. To substan¬ tiate this feeling they point to an order signed hy President von Hindcnburg which for the first time siuce tfie Hitler regime came to power doe.s not include t-he Aryan clause limitation.

Ben Hoffman, Citizen Circu¬ lation Mgr., Passes at 48
The passing of Ben J. Hoffman, age 48, last Monday was a real shock and severe loss not only to the, Jcw,s of Co- lumbu.s hut to the Toledo Jewish com¬ munity as well. Mr, Hoffman came to Columbus ,tivc years ago to become the circulation manager of the Columbus Gitir zen, having left a similar position with the Toledo Ncws-Rce.

Services were conducted by Rabbi Sol¬ omon Rivlin, the Elks' and B'nai B'rith lodges Tuesday afternoon at the Schoed¬ inger Co. chapel.
His home was at 827 S. Montrose ave¬ nue, Bexley. '

At the con¬ clusion of Rabbi Greenwakl's address, William Robbins recited a selection from Biallk's poetry. Doctor B. W. Abrnnison next spoke upon "Theodore Herzl." He told of the activity of Herzl from the time of. the Dreyfus Case until his death, for the or¬ ganization of the effort for Palestine through the medium of the Zionist or¬ ganization. He pointed out the similarity between the two great leaders, Bialik and Herzl. Following this, Roy J. Stone, chairman of the meeting and president of the Co¬ lumbus Zionist I^istrict, appealed to the audience for a greater Zionist effort in Columbus, throughout the next year, as a tangible tribute to the memory of Bi- ahk. He pointed out that during the coming year, the Zionist Organization of America was making a special and in¬ tensified effort to secure the lowering down of the bars to Jewish immigrants in Palestine. This would be done with negotiations with the British Govern¬ ment which in order to be successful, must have the united support of the entire Jewry and be supported by a vigorous and strong Zionist membership. Cantor S. Silverman and Cantor O. Yablok rendered the memorial prayers. Robert Mellman and Abe Robbins were the committee in charge of arrangements. LOCAL JEWISH WOMEN TO BE HEARD OVER WAIU SUNDAY AT 9:15 A, M.

Mrs. Abramson will play two piano selections, Rubenstein's "Kamcnol Oatrow" and Whlthorne's "The Chimes of St. Patrick's." ¦ , A similar program is also being ar¬ ranged by Mrs. Abramson for Sunday, .'\ugn§t 5th, when Judge E. V. Mahaffey will speak on a subject of child w.clfare, In Haifa, as In Tel Aviv, the Jewish population of the city is actively inter¬ ested in the building up of a new Pales¬ tine. The new harbor city is growing apace, noisily, furiously. On busy Hadar Ha- carmel, apartment houses, built with a view to the greatest income on the small¬ est output, are crowding against each other. High up on the wooded slopes of the Carmel, too, Jewish businessmen are erecting summer houses and profitable ho¬ tels. And in. the bourgeois quarter of Bat Gjillm, stretching out on the seiashore near Elijah's Cave, as well as in Naveh Shaanun, looking' down from its height on the mountain to the blue Kisbon river, everywhere the same picture may be seen of Jewish enterprise and activity; every¬ where the Jewish Yishub is gaining a foothold. More and more property is earning into Jewish hands, dnc to the constant flow of immigrants who arc steadily invading the cities, seeking the industrial and commercial niches to which they were accustomed in their old homes, bringing with them new methods of busi¬ ness and manufacture from abroad, cre¬ ating a rapidly extending market for for¬ eign products, and also for the natural fertilizers which the Arab village pupula!- tion very largely produces. Such is the economic structure and background of Jewish national enterprise in Tel Aviv, and Haifa is now moving iu the same direction. .The speculators property and the business men of both cities are so absorbed In the competitive struggle for the acquisition of new hold- uigs, as close as possible to the commer¬ cial centers, that they have no time to consider the practicability of their,enter¬ prises. In the excitement created by the infiltration of Jews through the closely guarded gates of the National Home seeking a refuge from persecution in other lands, speculation is rife. Both Jews and non-Jews are doing well. The Jews arc building flats and opening up.shops, the Arab farmers are bringing in their pro¬ duce to dispose of it in the ready market. In Haifa, too, Arab laborers may be seen engaged in the construction of Jewish buildings, even as in Tel Aviv. Jews are pocketing the gains of house-renting and flat-letting, while.the wages of labor are laid to Arabs. The new type of Jew. the product of the newly built cities in Palestine, is a practical person. He has no time to reflect on the economic sound ness of his course, for he is loo busy pin- suing a much-prized building plot, for re¬ sale or Hat-building. Already, In these same Jewish cities, recently built in Pales¬ tine, there are Jews who live in dark, air less, sunless basement houses. But there is another type of Jew. who is not satisfied with the prevailing fever of speculation.and it's quickly gotten gains. Such Jews are to he found in Haifa, as elsewhere, in the country. They too have vision of the establishment of a new comniunity to he built on better and stronger foundations than those upon which the bustling, bourgeois quarter of Hadar Hacarmel stands. Kiryat Hayim is the name, of the set¬ tlement now arising in Haifa Bay on Jewish National Fund land. It lies close to the sea, in the region known in the Bible as the Valley of Zebulun. It is a flat sandy stretch ' of territory, behind which rises the chain of Zebulun hills and beyond which appears the towering Car¬ mel range, clear-cut against the deep blue of the summer sky. .On the sea-front an establishment for the preparation of rock oil is being erected. The sea itself does not lie in the line of vision from the settlement because of the undulating sand dunes which obstruct the view. From the water lower, however, a magnificent pan¬ orama is to be seen of the curving blue mirror of Haifa Bay and the narrow, winding ribbon of the River Kishon. This v/atcr tower, crowned with Its stately seven-branched Chanukah candle¬ stick, is the pride of the community, for the spot is blessed with an a.bundaitce of water. Wherever the ground has been bored a spring of water has gushed forth. [ The only drawback of the soil lies in the fact that the upper stratum is not altogether firm and stable, for it is a continuation of the sand dunes which the ocean winds have blown over the shore through past ages. Yet measures have been taken with good effect against this phenomenon. In order to stabilize the shifting sandy soil, and , to protect the vegetables, the settlers have planted be¬ tween the beds many different species of fruit trees for the cultivation of which the climate of the Carmel region Is peculiarly favorable. For this purpose apple and pear trees have already been planted, and plum, apricot and peach trees will shortly be added. It is interesting to note that one dunam of l!an[l, so-planned and planted, is suffi¬ cient for the maintenance of dne family. The Jewish National Fund has leased the land for a period of 99 years, allotting one dunam to each family, and the Keren Hayesod (Palestine Foundation Fund) has as-sisted the settlers In establishing themselves and in acquiring utilities of primary importance. Each smaller hohling includes a house for living tjuarlers. and additional space for the building of chicken coops. Al¬ ready all the settlers have arranged to borro.w money from a bank, each family taking six pounds, towards the purchase of the first 2.'j chickens of the well-known Rossen brand, which arc sold by the Jew¬ ish farmers in the neighboring Valley of Je:i:rcel. The.sniall portion of land allotted to each family allows' also for a ci^rtaln aniouiit of dairying, although this project necessarily entails a curtailment of their plantations. The siiceess of the entire undertaking is dependent to a verj' large degree on the Industry, intelligence and initiative of the women, for the men in this newly es¬ tablished settlement work in the city, adding the earnings to the resources of their farms' Among them are Jews of the old-fashioned -type, self-condemned to an existence of competition and struggle, prepared to live a hand-to-mouth exist¬ ence in the restricted quarters of the modern,'commercialized apartment houses of the cities. Tliey have succeeded in rescuing thcniselyes from this state by traiisplantatlou to the land while they were still young enough and strong enough to be able to^work, the husband • in town and the wife on the farm. Jn tlic first year of their settlement on the land of Kiryat Hayim the settlers have erected 200 houses. This is the first cpiarter to be established, although two similar suburban communities of TiOO houses have heen measured out and plan¬ ned on national land cIo.se ' by Kiryat Hayim. Three Peoples' Banks have ad¬ vanced the loans for this purpose on easy terms extending ovcr \~\ 10 and 8 years.* The monthly payment on a two-roomed house with.a kitchen and a balcony equal to half the amount which one rooni would cost in the city. The payment also hicludes electricity and water rates and taxes for street pavements. The streets of the workers' < uarter in Haifa Bay have iiot yet acquired names. For convenience they have been numbered. Only the main street which joins the Haifa Acre highway is covered with as¬ phalt as yet, The other streets are still in the process of being paved. A com¬ munity center is being built. The coun¬ cil chamber of the village has already been completed. Already it contains two desks and a book-case and a telephone, and a large picture of Dr. Chaim Arloso¬ roff, after whom the settlement is named, hangs on the wall. A school is also be¬ ing built, as welt as a folks' halland a store. A site has been selected fqr a synagogue. The settlers of Kiryat Hayim are not orthodox. The Sabbath has for them a social and cultural significance, not a religious meaning. Nevertheless there are among them a number who feel the need of a place of worship. Whi they had first arrived at the settlement a Juit had been put up to serve this purpose, whereupon a religious JeXv of Haifa had (Continued on page 2) BERLIN (WNSl—Hitler's whining and apologetic speech to tlic rubber-stamp Kciclistag, which accepted with enthusi¬ asm his hollow and unconvincing defense of the slaughter of 77 storm troop lead¬ ers, monarchists. Catholics and other al¬ leged traitors against his^ regime, has given rise to numerous interpretations, the most common of which is that Hitler's power is badly shaken, but that for the time being he i^ In no danger. His long and boring account, in which he defied the world-wide boycott and reiterated his familiar attacks on the "International Jew¬ ish Nfarxist conspirators" whom he hiamed, in part, for the uprising, was gcn- erglly unconvincing. From the tenor of his explanation it was generally believed that Hitler's hold is not as firm as he would have the world believe. His frequent references to the supremacy of the army and President von Hindcnburg, whom he acknowledged as his superiors, are held to indicate that Hitler is merely the mouthpiece for the Rcichs.wehr and the industrial barons, who are awaiting the proper opportunity to oust him. Thus far, however, there is nothing to show that outwardly, at least, Hitler Is not the supreme ruler. Nothing in his speech can be inter¬ preted as foreshadowing any lessening of antl-Seinitlsm. On the contrary, there are reports in well-informed circles that the drive against the Jews will be con¬ tinued with accustomed vigor. Violence, howerer, will he eschewed, it is said, order to mollify world opinion and perhaps force a curtailment of the tight¬ ening boycott.
