by Professor Schechter, one by the Max

Hebrew Union College, but lately re-

the reader with the idea that the writer
is afraid to be the sponsor of his opin-

Of course, had to resign his post. All

have acted differently without stultify-

gregation, once guided by no less man
than DR.. Abraham Geiger. There is an
old .Talmudic saying: ''Laav kol

"No man can sit at the same time
at two tables This translated
into modern phraseology means, that
men cannot expect to be paid by Jewish
Reform organizations, while they do all
in their power to undermine the very
foundations of these organizations.
Such proceeding may be consistent with
Zionist logic, but it is decidedly incon-
sistent with good common sense and
with the dictates of justice and fair
play. 1t is of course easy for the Zion
lists to pirate about tolerance and to
slander the leaders of Reform Judaism

is wind and hollow sound. Suppcsc a
Zionist would engage a man to take
care of his premises and this caretaker
would be discovered by him in the act
of setting fire to the house Would he
keep this man in his employ for the sake
of tolerance? Not much. The chances
are he would Immediately dismiss him
from his service. When tolerance to-
wards others amounts to intolerance
against ourselves then such tolerance
instead of being a virtue is the most
ridiculous foolishness, yea worse than
folly, it is sin and an impardonable in
justice to ourselves. And, with all our
altruism the Latin proverb is still true.

preservation is the supreme law The
sensitiveness of our Zionists wherever
and whenever they get dose Of their
own medicine is certainly amusing.
Wherever they have little power and
influence they leave no stone unturned
to deprive Anti-Zionists of office and
livelihood. They have attempted such
tricks in Vienna, Bulgaria, Roumania,
Russia and even in this country. They
attempted to defeat the noblest and most

inc that the "Christian world" partic-
ulark in the United States, is in the
very least interested in their schemes,
doctrines, dreams, and doings So far
as Europe is concerned at least the
Anti-Semitic Christians take some in
terest in Zionism. For, to them, a re-
turn Of all the Jews, living in Occi-
dental countries to Palestine would be
the realization Of their hopes. Indeed,
when the Zionistic movement started
some ten years ago the great " friend .
Of the Jews, pastor Adolf Stoecker, for
mer court preacher in the capital of
Germany, was quite enthusiastic. In
deed some Antisemitic and "Christian
Socialistic" papers had gone so far as
to publish appeals, urging their follow
ers to subscribe funds in furtherance
of the Zionistic movement. And this
fact was not at all surprising. 1t was
in full accord with Antisemitic logic.
For, a return Of the Jews to their holy
land" would of course with single
stroke solve the Jewish problem in a
manner most pleasing to Antisemitism
1t would rid Europe Of the Jews. Not,
indeed that the Antisemites care Il
straw where the Jews go. So far as they
are concerned, they can go ''wo der
Pfeffer waechst,' so long as they go.
This accounts for the remarkable and
rather touching solicitude manifested
by the Antisemites of the whole world
for Zionism. Both movements have
their root and ''raison d etre" in the
same false principle. Both, Antisemit-
ism and Zionism teach, preach and pro-
pagate the mischievous notion, that the
Jew is an alien and a stranger in the
land in which he lives, on the very soil
on which the cradle Of his children
stood and on which the graves Of his
parents and forefathers can be found.
Antisemitism and it's bastard child mod
ern Zionism spread the falsehood that
the only fatherland of the Jew is the
little strip of land called Palestine
which, if it ever was ''land flowing
with milk and honey" is not so today
and can never again be so. Both teach
and preach that outside of this little
strip Of -forsaken land, the Jew has
no mission to fulfill anywhere, and that
no matter how much he does for the
country, in which he lives, no matter
how often he sheds his blood and dies
the death of hero on the field of bat
tie in defense Of his country he must
remain, an outcast and foreigner in
the lands Of his nativity. We know full

An Incident at Ridgway.
An incident at Ridgway, on the
Pennsylvania railroad. week or two
ago shows how train crews are in
danger from tramps. In this case 1t
was a bottle of nitroglycerin that did
the damage. putting four or five men
In the hospital and injuring one of
them so badly that his leg had to be
amputated.
Two freight trains were about to
leave Ridgway when the conductor of
one of them found a man lying upon
the top of a boXcar. The crews of the
two trains, when about to eject the
man, found him apparently powerless
to move. He seemed to be in drunk
en- stupor. In his pocket was bottle
which the trainmen thought to be
whisky. This bottle was taken from
the tramp by an engineman, who
either dropped or threw 1t on the car.
Immediately 1t exploded, doing severe
damage.
"Hobo" Depends on Rail.
To nearly everyone the picture Of a
hobo" riding on freight train is a
familiar sight. 1t takes only min
ute's thought to grasp the fact that
the railroads are the most valuable
asset In the tramps existence. A
tramp cannot remain tramp long un-
less he can move about and be a
stranger to whomever he meets.
Thus the hobo" depends upon the
railroads to go from city to city and
from state to state. He cannot pay his
fate. rarely having money. so he steals
his rides and thereby becomes tres
passer. II "ride-stealing" can be pre-
vented, vagrancy will receive its
deathblow. And that is the peg upon
which the effort to disband the army
OF Migrants Is to be hung.
Cooperation 10 Necessary.
Naturally enough the railroads have
always been anxious to stop free
rides" The trespassers not infre-
Quently steal valuable packages of
freight, damage cars, interfere with
signal and switching apparatus and at
times attack and seriously injure EN-
ployes. But 1t has been impossible to
make any Roadway against ride

detected and arrested. are rarely pun

are just ordered to move on" which

The showing made In the reports
was supplemented by reports of the
Interstate commerce commission,
which stated that In the last five years
28,974 trespassers had been killed.
Not all OF that slaughtered army were
tramps. yet 1t was shown that the
vast majority were of the class of
Aimless wanderers whose vagrancy is
much mixed with viciousness.
An Army Of Migrants.
Representatives of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad reported to the confer
ence that these hordes Of the Tents of

trnt to testify, asserted that from one
half to three-fourths of all trespassers
we're tramps.
1t was asserted that on the Balti-
more & Ohio accidents caused by
fuamps were not infrequent, and that
tire robbing of cars, freight houses and
stations was of almost daily occur
rvsnce.
James McCrea. president Of the
Pennsylvania railroad. declared that
the 900 Migrants arrested on his road
for trespassing in 1906 were but a
small percentage Of the Migrants con.

Conference In Minneapolis.
At the Minneapolis conference ini-
tlal steps were taken to establish u

TRIUMPH OF SURGERY
BOY WITH FRACTURED SKULL

Case Of New York fodder Of Four
Years Old 10 Proof OF the

New York.-A most remarkable
case Of surgery in st. Gregory's hos
pital is that of a four-year-old boy,
who has an almost complete fracture
of the skull, and, according to the
! physicians, will recover. Seven sur
: geons worked over the patient for
over six hours, assisted by three nurses
and two orderlies. ...
Thomas Mcbride, Jr., son OF Ia
borer, of 100 South street. fell from
the fourth story of his home. strik-
ing squarely on his head. He was
picked up by his father. unconscious
and bleeding freely.
A call was sent in to the st. Greg
ory's hospital, DR.. Kresky responding
The physician saw that he could do
nothing for the boy on the spot butt
to stop the flow of blood, and rushed
him to the hospital. The ambulance
driver, Sydney Whiteway. made a rec
ord run, driving both ways In four
minutes. The lad was Immediately
put on the emergency operating table.

found that the boy was fast dying
and gave him oxygen. He was kept
alive In this way until the arrival OF
Drs. Turner and Stewart, visiting sur
geons to the institution.
Drs. Heacock, Duke and Swift as
sisted in keeping the boy alive.
The boy had a horseshoe-shaped
fracture of the skull, extending from
the frontal bone to the base. Frag-
ments of the skull had become imbed-
ded in the brain tissues. The physi-
clans began removing piece by piece
the broken skull. A trepining knife
had to be used all through the opera
ton. The surgeons had to use the ut
most care, as the brain was partly en-
posed. The skull was broken in such
way that the surgeons had to raise
it nearly half an inch.
During the operation the boys
heart had almost ceased beating sew
eral times. AS soon as the operation
was over the child was put in the med
ical ward. Shortly after the opera
ton the boy returned to unconscious
ness. A few minutes later he asked
for drink of water. This was the
first sign thta the chances were in
the boys favor. Later the patient
was able to move his body and tried
to sit up.
He talked freely and asked for
piece of custard pie, which is favor
lite dish at his home. The boys moth
er was at his bedside all day and beg
ged to take the child home. The ply
sicians were highly elated over their
success.

FAT ON THE HOG.
Only Put II on When Fitting the AMI.
NAL for Market.

The hog that Is to be kept on the
farm for breeding purposes does not
need much fat. The more fat he ha.
the more expense of muscle and en-
ergy there is required to carry it
around and the more food must there
be expended for that purpose alone.
The hog stores nothing on his body
except what may be used for some
other purpose than to please the
butcher. In fact, the butcher is not
looked out for by Nature. The object
Nature has in storing up fat is to give
a surplus to be used as fuel in the
lungs. This fat is to be burned up in
the creating of energy to keep the
machinery of the body in motion and
in the creating Of heat to keep up the
temperature of the body. There is,
therefore. no reason for putting on
the back of the hog lot of fuel for
him to carry about with him till the
time he needs 1t. 1t would be like
piling onto the tender of an engine
more coal than could be used in
single trip. The extra weight would
be carried for nothing and would only
be in the way. The hog that is to be
kept should therefore have only
small amount Of fat on him at any
time. This will make it more natural
for him to exercise and the exercise
will improve his health.
The fat on the hog that Is to be sold
is worth money in the market and
should be put on freely. The hog
should not, however. have SO much fat
that he is likely to go down when
on the journey to market. The buy
ers Of hogs like to have fat hogs. but
they do not want them too fat. An
overfat hog on hot day has good
chance to die before reaching the end
Of his journey.

SEXES OF PIGS.
Bears Seem to Be Slightly More Nu-

George A. Rommel. animal hus-
Dandman OF the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. reports:
In response to requests. the Animal
Husbandry office Of this bureau has
recently collected information regard
ing the relative proportions of the
two sexes Of pigs at birth, with quite
interesting results. This information
is not to be obtained from the herd
books for the reason that while the
total number OF pigs narrowed Is usu-
ally given. the number of each sex
is given only for the pigs raised.
Reports were received from eighty
two breeders, located in twenty-three
states and two territories Qndian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma). Eight breeds
were represented, as follows: Berk-
shire. Chester White, Duroc Jersey,
Hampshire. Large Yorkshire. Ohio I'M
proved Chester. Poland China and
Tamworth. In few cases the record
OF filters Of grade and mixed breeding
was given; these are included in the
results.
The number of sows whose filters
were reported was 1.477. The number
of boar pigs was $500; the number of
sows. 6,625. and the total 1926. The
average per SOW was as follows:
Bears. 4.52: sows. 4.48; total, S.99.
The figures are mainly for filters far
rowed during 1906. In 40 cases Sec
ond litters during the year were re.
ported for the same sows. which some
what raises the average per SOW.
Bears are seen to be slightly more
numerous than sows, but for all prac-
tfcal purposes the sexes may be re-
garded as equal in number at birth.
The relative proportion was found to
be 1,005 bears to 1000 sows. Ex-
pressed In another way, the proportion
is 1OO.53 boars to 100 sows, which in
