receiving the accounts. which were
frequently enclosed IN the paper.

the courts. on the streets, in public in

cause Of race or color.
The committee has already handled a
great many cases involving these prin-

them In the courts Of New York. II
proposes to continue its fight and to or,
ganize into one effective body all those
who are opposed to race discrimination
and injustice. It's services are abso-

MORALITY WAS PLAINLY DISCUSSED Sexual Problems Taken Up By Members of Jewish
 Councils in N. Y. RABBI COFFEE TALKS Would Teach Children the Secrets of
 Sex, But This is, Op-
 posed.

New York, May 5.-"If the Astors were members of my synagogue or the Schiffs or any other millionaires, and any part of their property was being used for immoral purposes, would make them either withdraw their property from such use or with draw from my congregation"
 This was the earnestly voiced re- mark of Rabbi Rudolph I. Coffee, of Pittsburgh, in an address late this afternoon at he Temple Emanuel 10 joint meeting of the Eastern Council of Jewish Women.
 Rabbi Coffee reiterated his well known statement in regard to the eradication of the social evil and spoke with unusual plainness on the topic despite the presence of several hundred of the most prominent Jew ish women of New York.
 While the majority of his hearers seemed to sustain Rabbi Coffee in his plain manner of speaking, Rabbi Hirsch, of Chicago, took issue with him in respect of the teaching of children the problems of sex.
 In further laying doNn the rules of conduct which should characterize the rabbi, the speaker declared that the former, if he is conscientious will refuse to marry young persons unless the prospective husbands can show clean bill of health in the form of a reliable doctors certificate, Turning to the women, Rabbi Coffee explain ed:
 Tt behooves you mothers in Israel to see to it that your children are not brought up in ignorance of the dire evils resulting from immortality. It is for you tc put a period to the generally accepted proposition that money covers a multitude of sins. A young man calls on your daughter He is young MT. Money Banks. That sas far as you inquire about him. He marries your daughter and in a few short months her bloom of health is gone. She is put on the operating table, her health destroyed, her life blighted forever"
 At the conclusion of Rabbi Coffee's address, there was a spirited discus sion which was entered into by Rabbi Hirsch, the foremost rabbi in America Miss Sadie Anderson, president of the Eastern Council of Jewish Women and others. Miss American took a positive stand against teaching child ren the secrets of sex. She declared that the subject was a two-edged sword and one of such physiological importance that it cannot with safety be discussed with a child. She was however, in sympathy with the rabb in the insistence of the single mora standard for men and women and tht ostracizing of young men who were known to be immoral.

Miss Smith, who suspected that the
intruder was inspecting for money or
