XV—No. 94 COLUMBUS.OHIO, OCrOBER 21, 1932 Per Year $3.00; Per Copy loc By the Way By David Schwartz Make Preparations For Ha¬ dassah Donor Luncheon On November 20th Depression nnd Prejudice - Bruno LcssJiig writes of his stopping off at ail exclusive hostelry iu* linvaria, reputed or ill reputed, for its refusal, to accept Jewish Kucsts. Lessing asked, them if it was true, that they refused Jewish guests. "Yes," they replied, not guessing that tossing was a jew, "in good times, they turned the Jews down, but now condi¬ tions were so bad, they were clad to have them." Jews and Bicycles Wliich reminds me for some reason or other of Lewis Browne's story of the Hitlerite and the Jew in the German train. The Jew was sitting just opirosite the Hitlerite, which offended the Hitlerite, particularly, as he was a fat, beery Hit¬ lerite who wanted a great deal of place for his legs. "The Jews are the cause of. every¬ thing," shouted the Hitlerite.'"The Jew¬ ish bankers are the ruin of the world. Yes, the Jews are the cause of, all of our troubles, isn't it so, Jew?" "Isn't.it so, Jew," continued the Hit¬ lerite in a loud voice. "You arc asking yet?" returned the Jew softly. "Of course Jews and bicycle riders are the cause of the ruin of everything." "Why hicyele riders?" interrogated the ¦ Hitlerite. "Why Jews?" returned the Jew. More Soup Stories _ Philip Slomovitz forwards two addi-^ tional versions of the soup story re¬ cently printed in this column, viz: Version A. Waiter is hailed by a cus¬ tomer who protests there is a fly in his soup. , Whereupon the waiter declares: "What do you expect for a dime, ca¬ naries?" , . Version B: When the protest against the fly-in-the-soup is registered With the waiter, the latter bends over and whis¬ pers in customer's ear: "Sh-Sh not so loud! They'll all ask for it." I must perforce gather from the mul¬ titude of these fly stories emanating from my Detroit headquarters, that a screen dealer could do good business , in that city. ' Lippmann's Column Morris Markly is very much amazed at the success of Walter Lippmann's col- , umn on politics through the country. The Lippmann ..column..is no.wsynr.- dicated iu over "a hundred papers. For a column,^ which makes no pretensions . to entertainment, but is on the contrary ultra-serious, the record is surprising. The fact is plain, that the editors have been underestimating the intelligence of the public at large. Serious Rending' Where they have made their mistake is in the assumption that there is no en¬ tertainment in a serious subject. I know a man who would be bored reading the funny paper, but who gets a tremendous kick deciphering some ancient hiero- , glyphics. When you see Arthur DembitE of Gratz College, one of the famous seven readers of this column with one of those broad Quaker Oats smiles on liis face, you are likely to conclude that someone has just told him, some story about a ' traveling salesman, but it is even money that instead, the solution of some hiero¬ glyphic script on whicli he was work¬ ing a month ago has just flitted into his iiead- Thc serious tlliings arc just as inter¬ esting as the so-called light. A good manager, I am Convinced, could get as big crowds for inter-league debates . on economics as for a baseball game. And a good reporter could make the debate as interesting i;eading as . Damon Run- yan's column on sports. In 1492 Speaking pf the island of Majorca, as we were recently, Dr, Moses Hadas tells us that iu the days ,.of 1493, that island was the domicile of a noted Jew¬ ish cartographer, whose maps were used by Columbus in his expedition of dis¬ covery, It is only fair perhaps then, that so many American Jews are now fleeing to that asylum of escape from the high costs of the modern economic system. On Majorca, it is said, one may live at an expenditure of from three to eight dollars a week. I have an idea that if one wants to, he can do even the same in the United States, provided he has no objection to isolating himself in some cranny of the country., But it takes a hardy soul to be able to bear the re¬ quired isolation. (Continued on page 3) Mrs. Amon Tliall has :tnnounccd that the third aiiiuial.donor project this year will be an evening dinner. This is the niajor project of the Hadassah Medical Oi-ganizatioii of the Cohiinbus Chapter of riada.s.sah, proceeds of whicli are used to niaintiiin the hospitals in Palestine. Dr. C: Yas.sky, director of Medical Organization in Palestine, was a guest sivcakcr at a recent conference in New York and gave a detailed report of work and accomplishments of Hadassah in Palestine. While Hadassah had no deficit for the past year, Mrs. Thall is urging every Jewish woman, to attend the donor dinner and thus do her part to keep the work of Hadassali in Palestine intact. Mrs. Thall's appeal has been answered by Mrs. H. Lieverman, MrS. Harry Giliiert, Mrs. A. Thall, Mrs. Albert Schiff, Mrs. Sig¬ mund Ornstein, Mrs. Morris Goldberg, and Mrs. Wm. A. Hersch, who have In¬ come iflO donors, to help make the 3rd annual dinner a success. The second regular meeting was held at the Neil House, Tuesday, October 18th, with .Mrs. H.

University, at Ohio State University, and Columbia University. He has lectured in every part of the Middle West before Churches, fraternal organizations, „aud civic groups. His de- hates with Clarence Darrow were epoch- making events. They were attended by thousands of people in air walks of life. Who Is Lobagola? Lobagola, the African savage who wijl take the negative side in the debate, is a world traveler, having visited every section of the globe. Though born in the heart of Africa amidst primitive surroundings, he is today a cultured, re¬ fined gentleman with polished., manners .ind ail extraordinary, liberal education. He. is a graduate of prominent educa¬ tional institutions in the British Isles. He is considered by competent critics one of ¦ the greatest platform entertainers. He has already spoken before The League For Political Education, New York City; The Junior League, New York City; The Women's City Club. Boston ; Ox ford Umversity, England; Syracuse University', Syracuse, N. Y.; The Explorer's Club, New York City; Firft Bridge Tea on Tuesday, October 25th at the Bry¬ den Road Temple The first bridge tea of the Rose E. Lazanis Sisterhood will be held on Tuesday, October 25th, in the vestry rooms of the Bryden Road Temple, at 1:30 p. m.

NEXT MEETING OP ZION LOGE WILL BE FOR MEMBERS ONLY Zion Lndgc No. 62, of the B'nai B*rith» will hold a closed meeting for members, wives and special guests to be held on Monday, October 2'lth, at 8 p. m., at the Broad Street Temple. To the announcement, which was mailed to all members this week, the perforated card attached will he used by members for ad¬ mission to the meeting. The program, in charge of Harry Schwartz, consists of special en¬ tertainment, a card party, prizes and refreshment, i Those who will participate In the entertninment are: Misses Betty Thai, Eileen Grossman, Jean Mason, Betty Rose Wolstein, and Stanley Maybrook. Allan Tar¬ shish will render hb usual review of Jewish current evenlB. am glad to recommend Mr Lobagola's lectures m the strongest tcims He can¬ not fad to interest his heaters by the story of bib cxiieriences, which, to far as I know, are uithout parallel." Sharply Contrasted It is interesting to note tiiat Lobagola has lived under conditions as. sharply contrasted as the world affords. He knows savagery in its many antl vai^ious aspects; and he certainly is intimately ac¬ quainted with civilization in the Occi¬ dent. Not only is; he a witty and fasci¬ nating speaker, but he ranks with Max Stcucr^'-Samucl Unterineyer, Arthur Gar¬ field Hayes, and John Haynes Holmes a.s a debater. ; During the past two months which he has spent in Central Ohio, he has de¬ livered on the average of five lectures n week before luncheon groups, church organizations, grade schools,.high schools and colleges, James B. Pond, one of America's outstanding impressarios, de¬ clares that Lobagola stands out pre-rcmi- nently among ,the leading public' lec¬ turers in the workl. . Continuing, he as¬ serts, "Lobagola's life amazes and fasci¬ nates; the story of his many atlventurcs in the many countries he has visited reads like a, tale from- the Arabian Nights. There is no gainsaying the fact that his biography is an adventure story without parallel tu all literature or on the lec¬ ture platform." Eviery Angle Readers of the Ohio Jewish Chronicle who want to hear discussed every angle of a most absorbing subject—"Is Civili¬ zation" Worthwhile?"—-should secure tickets at once either at Hciton's or at the office of the Ohio Jewish Chronicle, or- the office ot Byron Goldsmith in the Brunson BIdg, The debate is definitely scheduled for Wednesday evening, Oc¬ tober 2Cth at Memorial Hall. The time is 8:15 p. m., promptly. Those desiring to secure reserved seats must make ar- 1 rangcmenta promptly; only a limited ¦ number remain at 75 cents each; general , admission \vill be 50 cents. All arrangements have been completed for the Simcbas Torah Supper to be held in the social hall of the East Broad Street Temple on Sunday evening. Octo- Wr '2'-i, at C:30 p. m. under the auspices of the Sisterboml and afTiIiatcd temple organization.';.

Simchas Torah Services On, Saturday night, October 22nd, at 8 o'clock Simchas Torah Services will be held at East Broad Street Temple. On Saturday morning, October 23nd. at 10 o'clock Memorial Services will be held and Rabbi Zelizcr will preach on "Useless Lives." Simcbas Torah services will also he held on Sunday, October 2.3rd, at 9 a. m. It is hoped that.all parents will take notice that special children's sierv^ices will be conducted by the Rabbi in the Social Hall of the Temple on Sunday, Octo¬ ber, 23rd, at 10:30 a. m., and will have their children present at these children's services. ¦ Special holiday stories will displace the sermon at these children's services. Especial attention is directed to the Simchas Torah Services on Saturday night,, October 22, at 8 o'clock, at which time the sisterhood of the congregation has arranged for the distribution of candy, flags and refreshments for all children present at the services that eve¬ ning and who participate, in the holiday procession- This part of the services is under the chairmanship of Mesdames Samuel Berman and William Schwartz. Parents are reminded that Sunday School will re-open Sunday, October 30. and Hebrew School will continue to be in session every week day for the remainder of the year. Friday Night Services On Friday, October 28th, at 8 p. m., usual Friday night services will be held at the Broad Street Temple. Rabbi Nathan Zelizcr has chosen for his ser¬ mon "The Story of Creation." This sermon is timely, in that the Jew¬ ish people on this Saturday begin to read the Bible from the stories of Genesis in ihelr annual cycle. A get-acquainted social will be held in the Social Hall of the Temple after the services. Tea will be served and all iire Velcome. Tarshish vs. Lohagola From present indications the debate on Wednesday evening, October 28th, at Memorial Hall, between Rabbi Jacob Tarshish* former spiritual leader of the Bryden Road Tcm[ile, and Lobagola, the famous African liushman, will attract thousands of people in all walks of life. The subject to be discussed is "Is Civili¬ zation Worthwhile?" According to I>ress reports, the Rabbi will take the affirmative side; the Bushman will take the negative. Both men are well read and admirably equipped to handle the subject matter involved. Columbus folk need not be told that Dr. Tarshish is an experienced debater; he has proved this on numerous occasions. Lobagola is considered by competent critics one of the outstanding orators of this gen- . eration. Besides his knowledge of world literature and history, the Bushman Js well versed iti biology, anthropology, and the general field of philosophy. Though born a savage, he has acquired a liberal education, not only through attendance at high class preparatory schools arid universities, but through his travels in all corners of the world; He has lec¬ tured before many learned bodies as well as hinchcon clubs, here and elsewhere. I am looking forward to the debate wjth the keenest anticipation; for I realize it will, be a red letter event in local history. I am wondering whether civi¬ lization is really •morthwhile; perhaps I will find out. at Memorial Hall, Wed¬ nesday evening, October 2Gth. Junior Hadassah's Cultural Work Begins with Lecture Monday at Neil House Rabbi Lee J. Levinger, Director of the Hillel Foundation at Ohio State Univer¬ sity, and author of the "History of the Jew in the United States," as well as co-author with Mrs. Levinger of "The Story of the Jew," will lead a series of lectures for members of the Columbus Unit of Junior Hadassah on the study of Jewish History. This is a splendid opportunity for the young Jewish women of Columbus to learn the story of their people under very able guidance. The organization extciuls a cordial in¬ vitation to them to attend the first lec¬ ture which will be held at the Neil House Monday evening, October 24, at 8 o'clock. National Junior Hadassah, sponsors of the Cultural Fellowship, will award cer¬ tificates to all members of the study group upon the completion of the lec¬ tures. Members of the Board will lead a series of book reviews and teas, date of th? first one and name of the book to be reviewed will be announced in the very near future by Miss Katherine Baker, BSi% Linwood -Avenue, Cultiu-al, Oiairman of the organizatjou. The third phase of Junior Hadassah's three-fold cultural program is the study of "Jewish Ceremonials and Customs". Miss B?kcr will also disclose definite de¬ tails of this series a little later. Monday, October 24, at 8 o'clock, at the Neil House. Be sure to hear Rabbi Levinger's in¬ teresting and informative introduction to the course on Jewish History. Rabbis to Meet I have just received an announcement from Rabbi Solomon Landman of New York telling me about, the 43rd annual meeting of the Central Conference of American Rabbis which will take place in Cincinnati, Ohio, from November 3nd, through November Gth. The open¬ ing of the conference will be preceded by an all day meeting of the executive board. The feature of the program will be the celebration of the Washington Bi¬ centennial by the reading of a paper on the subject. "The American Principle Of the Separation of Church and State m Its application to Modern Life, by Rabbi David Lefkowitz of Dallas, Tex, Rabbi Lcfkowitz is the immediate past president of the Central Conference _of American Rabbis.. An important Jewish event will be celehrated on its hundredth anniversary by a paper, "The Beginning of Modern. Jewish. Scholarship,' by Rabbi Bernard Bamberger of Albany, N. Y., commemorating the centennial of the publication of Leopold Zunzs "Gottesdienstlicbe Vortracge Dcr Jtiden, which has been called by critics, the most important Jewish work published in the 19lh century." and which was the most important infiuence in the shaping of the princitiles of Reform Judaism and the modernizing of the liturgy. ^ A sub¬ ject which received nationwide discussion during the year and still excites interest in Jewish circles, namely, whether the synagogue or the community organiza¬ tion should be paramount in Atnerican Jewish life, will be treated in a round table on "The Organization of Jewish Communal Life," which will be led by Rabbis Mordecai M. Kaplan and Sidney E. Goldstein of New York city. This wiir feature the program for Thursday evening, November 3rd.

Depression nnd Prejudice
- Bruno LcssJiig writes of his stopping off at ail exclusive hostelry iu* linvaria, reputed or ill reputed, for its refusal, to accept Jewish Kucsts.
Lessing asked, them if it was true, that they refused Jewish guests.
"Yes," they replied, not guessing that tossing was a jew, "in good times, they turned the Jews down, but now condi¬ tions were so bad, they were clad to have them."
Jews and Bicycles Wliich reminds me for some reason or other of Lewis Browne's story of the Hitlerite and the Jew in the German train.
The Jew was sitting just opirosite the Hitlerite, which offended the Hitlerite, particularly, as he was a fat, beery Hit¬ lerite who wanted a great deal of place for his legs.
"The Jews are the cause of. every¬ thing," shouted the Hitlerite.'"The Jew¬ ish bankers are the ruin of the world. Yes, the Jews are the cause of, all of our troubles, isn't it so, Jew?"
"Isn't.it so, Jew," continued the Hit¬ lerite in a loud voice.
"You arc asking yet?" returned the
Jew softly. "Of course Jews and bicycle
riders are the cause of the ruin of
everything."
"Why hicyele riders?" interrogated the
¦ Hitlerite.
"Why Jews?" returned the Jew. More Soup Stories _ Philip Slomovitz forwards two addi-^ tional versions of the soup story re¬ cently printed in this column, viz:
Version A. Waiter is hailed by a cus¬ tomer who protests there is a fly in his soup. , Whereupon the waiter declares: "What do you expect for a dime, ca¬ naries?" , . Version B: When the protest against the fly-in-the-soup is registered With the waiter, the latter bends over and whis¬ pers in customer's ear: "Sh-Sh not so loud! They'll all ask for it."
I must perforce gather from the mul¬ titude of these fly stories emanating from my Detroit headquarters, that a screen dealer could do good business , in that city.
' Lippmann's Column Morris Markly is very much amazed at the success of Walter Lippmann's col- , umn on politics through the country. The Lippmann ..column..is no.wsynr.- dicated iu over "a hundred papers. For a column,^ which makes no pretensions . to entertainment, but is on the contrary ultra-serious, the record is surprising.
The fact is plain, that the editors have been underestimating the intelligence of the public at large.
Serious Rending' Where they have made their mistake is in the assumption that there is no en¬ tertainment in a serious subject. I know a man who would be bored reading the funny paper, but who gets a tremendous kick deciphering some ancient hiero- , glyphics.
When you see Arthur DembitE of Gratz College, one of the famous seven readers of this column with one of those broad Quaker Oats smiles on liis face, you are likely to conclude that someone has just told him, some story about a ' traveling salesman, but it is even money that instead, the solution of some hiero¬ glyphic script on whicli he was work¬ ing a month ago has just flitted into his iiead-
Thc serious tlliings arc just as inter¬ esting as the so-called light. A good manager, I am Convinced, could get as big crowds for inter-league debates . on economics as for a baseball game. And a good reporter could make the debate as interesting i;eading as . Damon Run- yan's column on sports. In 1492 Speaking pf the island of Majorca, as we were recently, Dr, Moses Hadas tells us that iu the days ,.of 1493, that island was the domicile of a noted Jew¬ ish cartographer, whose maps were used by Columbus in his expedition of dis¬ covery,
It is only fair perhaps then, that so many American Jews are now fleeing to that asylum of escape from the high costs of the modern economic system.
On Majorca, it is said, one may live at an expenditure of from three to eight dollars a week. I have an idea that if one wants to, he can do even the same in the United States, provided he has no objection to isolating himself in some cranny of the country., But it takes a hardy soul to be able to bear the re¬ quired isolation.
