ABOUT THE PALE" "a


Editor Day Book: +. ~.
Permit me to call your attention
to an important error that escaped
your notice in the explanation of
what the pale is, subjoined to Mary
O'Reilly's letter from Russia.
There are no ghettoes in the cal
lowed towns" Within the territory
allotted to the Jewish masses the lat
ter are free to live in any part of the
towns. The word ghetto is applied to
the pale" as a whole, but not to GER
tain districts within the city or town
limits.
For your further information allow
me to state that some classes as ar
tisans, merchants, students and pro-
fessionals are free to live all over
Russia, and many Jews own land or
till the soil in and out of the pale"
and in their own name, too. Sincerely
yours. Irwin Ear.

KIEV is PRACTICALLY UNDER
MARTIAL LAW

KieV, Russia, Oct. 9.-On this, the
second day of the trial of the Jew,
Mendel Bells, charged with the 'trit-
ual murder" of Andrew Yushinsky,
Kiev was practically under martial
law. This precaution was taken be-
cause of the tremendous influx of
anti-Jewish men from the country
without the Pale. The ritual muir
der" trial is a race trial and the au-
thorities are doing all possible to pro-
tect the Jews from violence should
the hearing cause any excitement
Before the court met formally the
four magistrates received from
former chief rabbi of Budapest a
formal protest signed by 700 rabbis,
throughout every part of the world,
denying that any Jewish authorities
ever sanctioned the Tiactice OF. hui
man blood rites, or that any Jewish
sect, at any period of Jewish history,
ever practiced such.
Today's session was taken up

mainly with the reading of the in
dictment against Bells.
Two Jews were severely beaten in
the streets today by band of the
Society of True Russians. Circulars
distributed broadcast through the
town called for another program

DEPARTMENT STORE
. IS NEW IN GERMANY
German Merchant Says the
American Shops Are
Vastly Superior

The lot of the department store owner
| Is considerably harder in Germany than
in the United States. This fact is vouched
for by Julius Schloss, who left for Ger
many aboard the Imperator after year
spent in this country studying the meth
DDS of several of the leading establish
ments of this kind Mr.. schloss was here
in the interests of the Leonhard Tietz
department stores, a corporation con-
| trolling IS stores inssGermany and SIX
| in Belgium. His American education
f! began in the Jordan Marsh store in Bos-
ton, where he spent two months Fol-
lowing this he was for time in the
! Philadelphia store of John Wanamaker,
leaving there for Chicago. In that city
he spent two months in the store OF
Marshall Field &c Co., and one month
with Mandel Brothers. From Chicago he
took an extended eour of the west as
far as the Pacific coast. and studied sys-
1 TENS and conditions in the stores of
practically every city of Importance in
that part of the country, says the New
York Times.
Ceiling Shows Her Ankles
One of the things that struck Mr..
Schloss most forcibly in his visit was the
merchants and the freedom with which
| they made hun acquainted with the va
rious inner working of their establish
ments. In this respect, he said that the
German merchant could learn a great
deal from his trade brother in the
United States
There are three things that the Ger
| man department store owner has to con-
tend WITH" he went on, "of which the
American merchant knows nothing. The
first and most important of these is that
the department store idea in Germany
is much younger than it is in the United
States. Second, there is special tax
levied on all stores of this kind by the
government, ostensibly for the protection
of the smaller merchants, and third, the
law of the countr permits merchandise
to be sold only on the first floors of
the store buildings. The buildings them
selves. have a legal limit in height of
six STORIES but only the first floor NAV
! be utilized for selling. No goods can be
| sold in the easements. When | say that
| one of the most noted American merch-
ants considers his basement the most
valuable of all his space save the main
| floor, 1t is easy to see what this prohi-
| bition means.
'"rhe government taxation on the stores

| can be paid and done away with for q
/ TIME at ieaSt, Dut the neWneSS of the
/ department store idea and the competi-
ton of the ong-established special shops

| are forced to accept a considerably
smaller margin of profit than the Amer
ican merchants, and we are forced to
keep our gross selling expense within
the limits of 25 per cent for the Same
reason. To offset this, however, we have
the advantage of doing an almost en-

City Has Cat and Bird

Paris.--As Rome had her geese on the
hill of the capitol, so French cities are
getting their civic birds, thanks to the
eccentric whims of their citizens, who
are willing their pets to their home cities
The Jackdaw of Rheims is legendary
and now the city of Brest has its civic
bird in the small and palpitating person
of a yellow and tuneful canary, and is
about to get municipal cat. This is
how 1t came about, says the st. Louis Re-
public.

$4,000 to the city of her birth with the

are not immortal especially with a tom

The Durbin Relief Fund.

In the issue of the Banner of March 9th
short local article explained that six of
the charitable citizens of that section of
Caddo Parish just across the river from
Benton had contributed $3.50 toward the
relief of Mr.. Marshall Durbin's family,
which information was furnished US by Mr..
]. M. Sentell. This sum was RENTED to
Mr.. Durbin by Mr.. Sentell, and the Banner
urged further subscriptions, feeling that
the family would have the sympathy of all.
1t should be explained here that on the
night of March Goth Mr.. Durbin's home,
located near Alden Bridge, was destroyed
by a cyclone, and one of his children killed.
Mr.. Thomas J. Baton, formerly a resi-
dent of the parish, but now of Beaumont,
Texas, under date of the 18th, writes the
editor of the Banner as follows:
81 note that relief fund has started
for Mr.. Marshall Durbin and his family.
l desire to add S. to this fund and enclose
you herewith my check for that amount.
Mr.. Durbin and his good wife have been
friends of mine since early childhood and l
certainly sympathize with them in their
bereavement. l know them to be true
friends in every sense of the word"
This, with the above sum and So con-
tributed by a Shreveport friend, together
with SIS from the editors of the Banner,
makes total of S45 so. A check for the
balance was mailed Mr.. Durbin to-day.
