remembered. In addition to the ball

mittee. Too much praise can not be
given to the chairman and her helpers

ever served at a ball, besides every
thing being strictly" Kosher.

man of the hereafter" was dressed in
an elaborate straw costume, Was
awarded first prize. Miss Mary Rob-

conscientiously because you believe
in praying to the Creator of the uni
verse and not for the reason that it
does not look right for your children?
Parents who do not believe in Jew

commandments can not and must not

"Tefilin" and obeying Gods word not

right and they also saw their Jewish
mothers light the candle on Friday

morning "Modeh Ami, ETC., not for any
other reason than they really believ-
ed in what they taught their children
and when we see those children who
had such religious training and who
was raised under such influence by
having simply changed the place and
the atmosphere and also changed their
ideas about Judaism and Jewish re-
ligion. What can those parents eX-
pect from their children in this coun-
try if they give them no religious
training at all? At the present time
this can very easily be reserved be-
cause there is plenty material here
for it. WE Jews have a great re-
search in history, beautiful traditions

understand that Tsai An wavered
between making the prince himself
or the imperial baby the heir to the
throne and that she had long conferences
with Yuang Shih Kai and Chang Chin
Tung on this subject. 1t is probable that
Yuan Shin Kai preferred the baby. and il
may be that this was one of the reasons
of that statesman's dismissal from office.
There is no doubt but that Prince Chun
is more fitted to rule China than any
other member of the imperial family. He
Is better educated than the other Tartar
princes; he has Travelled more and knows
more about modern methods and modern
civilization. He kept his eyes open when
he was sent to Germany to apologize to
the kaiser for the murder of Baron Won

countries he passed through. He saw the
