TO the Societies. The Yahrzeit Of our
lamented Herzl occurs on Friday, July
18th. We must not permit this Yahrzelt
to pass by unnoticed. The effort OF the
Zionists should be to make this Yahrzelt
one of the most solemn and sacred days
of the Jewish calendar. 1t is, OF course,
impossible for anything to be done on
Friday; but the propaganda committee
suggests, first: That on Thursday even
ing, July 10Th, on Sunday evening, July
18th, there shall be memorial mass meet
ings There might also be national
fund collection on Sunday. Many Jews
will give for Palestine if approached on
the day Of memorial. There should also
be proper services in the synagogues on
Saturday, July 18th, and an effort should
be made that snoddering' be for the
benefit of the national fund.
The propaganda committee will do all
in it's power to assist societies and coun-
ellis in making the necessary preparations
for proper observance of this, the most
solemn day in the Zionist calendar.
This matter should be taken up at the
very first moment after the receipt OF
this letter. and acted upon at once.
Yours, in the hope of Zion,
A. II. FROMENSON,
Chairman Propaganda Committee.

Conversionist Activity
in Bulgaria

Sofia Great anxiety has recently pre-
vailed among the Judaeo-Spanish Jews
of the capital, owing to the fact that, as
last year at this time, an epidemic OF
conversion has broken out among the To-
cal Jews, especially among the Judaeo-
Spanish girls On a Sunday three weeks
ago, Jewish girl belonging to much
respected Judaeo-Spanish family was
baptised in the chief church here amid
great ceremony and in the presence OF
a large and inquisitive public, and was
subsequently married to Bulgarian
with whom she had had secret relations
for some time. Shortly afterward the
local rabbinate was Informed of the sud
den disappearance of Jewish girl, the
seventeen year-old daughter of Judaeo-
Spaniard named Metzger. The girl,
who, although her parents belonged to
the well-to-do class Of Jews, was pos
sessed of absolutely no education, and, it
appears, could not even sign her name,
secretly eloped with a young Macedo-
Man, taking with her all her personal
property. The girl was invited by the
chief rabbi of Bulgaria to an interview
at his office in order to discuss the rea-
sons which had led to this betrayal OF
her faith, and the interview led to
sharp conflict between the chief rabbi

gara that any Jew who wishes to be bap-
tized goes to the chief rabbi, before whom
he is summoned by the police, who ac-
company him in force, together with
curious public. In this instance there
were also several gendarmes and even a
police commissioner was present.
Mounted gendarmes were also posted in
the street. When the girl was called into
the chief rabbits office she was followed
by a gendarme. The chief rabbi sum-
moned him several times to leave the Of
fee, stating that he had no right to be
present at the conversation with the girl,
but the police official absolutely refused
to leave the office, stating that he had re-
ceived orders to be present at the inter-
view, and he even ordered the chief
rabbi to speak to the girl only in Bulga
rian 1t was not till the chief rabbi
complained of this impudent behavior
over the telephone to the police prefect
that the man was ordered by telephone to
leave the office. Nevertheless, few min
minutes afterward the police commits
sioner came in and demanded to know
Of the rabbi why he had expelled the
gendarme and thus left the girl without
protection. After the chief rabbi had
vainly spoken gently to the girl inviting
her to return to her religion and her pa
rents, he asked her to sign a document
in which she formally separated from her
faith and her family. The gendarme
who was summoned as a witness took the
liberty, in the presence Of the chief
rabbi, to tell the girl that it
would be advantageous for her to
sign the document. Eventually the girl
was led in triumph amid an enormous
crowd to her bridegroom. Such an Incl
dent always leads to evil consequences
for Bulgarian Jews in general, inasmuch
as the anti-Semitic paper take opportu-
nifty to attack the Jews, representing
them in the eyes of the Bulgarians as in
ferior creatures, and endeavor to prove
that the Bulgarian Jews are, in moral
and religious respects, degenerate and
decadent, which, however, is far from
being the case. In the present instance,
the local anti-Jewish papers complain
that, besides the Jewish men, now the
Jewish women have begun to be a nuis-
ance to the Bulgarian people, in that
they are decoying young Bulgarians,
thereby depriving native girls of their
future husbands. It is rumored that in
this town eight Jewish girls have re-
Gently been baptized. The causes for
this epidemic of conversion hope to set
forth in a later communication.

Make the skirt with Spanish fiounce,
having small heading and perhaps
couple of tucks at the bottom. New
skirt patterns for wash dresses are not
the regular circular skirt, but the dress
when finished looks very much as
though made after the circular pat
ern and is better because it will not
sag.
Most elaborate embroidered dress
lengths may be bought at the stores
and the fashioning of dress there
from be simple matter; but for our
part we care more for the sheer fine
materials and fluffy trimming than for
heavy elaboration. This, of course, is
matter of individual taste.

becoming the result is charming, just
the tones to give refreshing on a warm
day.
The gray shoes are likewise charm
ing; there are gun-metal tones, pearl
gray suedes, dull finished kids in sew

ties. OF course, gray spats are pro-
durable. Then, to jump from shoes to
parasols, over my lady's head floats

novelty. There are gray silk umbrel-

Cream Inspection.

Minneapolis Systematic, inspection
Of cream shipped into the Twin Cities
and other central points has been
started by the state dairy and food
department. Commissioner e. K. Stat
er has detailed Inspector H. ]. Credi-
colt to the work.
The inspection is another step In the
general movement for the improve
ment Of the quality of Minnesota but
ter. Competition in the past prevent
ed the creameries from refusing bad
cream, which has been instrumental
in keeping the quality down. When a
cream buyer received a can of cream
which he knew would be injurious to
the quality of his butter he could not
refuse 1t for fear of losing trade to
some other house. The farmers
creameries were up against it almost
as bad, for if they refused to buy
from dairymen who had bad cream or
milk they would at once quit selling to
that creamery and ship to the central
plants. When the farmer was paid
as much for dirty cream as for the
clean and pure product, there was not
much incentive to Improvement.
