prosecution would probably be the
opposite from its purpose rousing
instead of allaying persecution.
Even in free America, the invisible
wall of an invisible ghetto some
times circumscribes liberty in spite
of law.
He decided to apply remedy
himself. Patient watching resulted
in catching sixteen years-old boy
in the act of throwing a stone at
his door, The impulse of the boy
to run was stihled by the realiza-
ton that he was discovered. The
tailor, instead of reproaching the
lad, invited him into his shop. The
boy allowed himself to be persuad-
ed. He was asked, "Why do you
do this?" Because you are Jew
was the answer. "Well, what of
it? Have I ever done anything to
harm your" ''No, but we don't
want Jews here" "Why not, what
reason have you?" because you
are Christ-killers" Fine reasoning
And from sixteen years-old boy
One wonders where he CLEANS such
valuable news, or where he was
instructed in the art Of making re-
prisals SO commensurate to such de-
pravity. But that is perhaps an i'm
material "aside' The 'Christ-
killer" talked kindly, reasonably to
the lad He made friend of him.
A few days later he caught the de-
livery boy of neighboring grocer
in an act Of vandalism A few words
with the grocer abated this nuis
ance. So one by one he talked with
his tormentors, or their parents, or
their employers. In time the tide
of opposition subsidized. With kind
ness he built a dyke against it.
What pitiless thing is prejudice.
1t poisons and Furnishes him who
harbors it. 1t persecutes and tor
lures him whom it outlaws. 1t di-
vides man from man with a cruel
wall of suspicion, of hate. 1t dis
turbs communities with lawless-
ness and wickedness. 1t drives
nations into causeless wars, and pre-
cipitates races into death struggles.
And how easily little reason, a
little real knowledge, sometimes
routes this Hadean monster.
Let us, you and l, neighbors,
Jewish and non-Jewish, Christians
and non Christians, throw the spot
light upon these twin enemies of
ours-superstition and prejudice.
The tailor has shown us one good
way. Might not little tolerance,

One Of these horses was a fine, fast

In A. d. 1920 with its triple balus-

white marble carved miraculously, it's
great circle covering wide area in the
midst Of a vast Enclosure. Standing
alone, deserted under the blue Chinese

ritual pomp that calls for thousands

with music, incense sacrifice. 1t is

GrazeG In the Fog.

1t is not usual for a ship on the high
seas to elect TO cast anchor on the deck
of a passing steamer, but that is what

Seven thousand years ago there were
trade unions in Nineveh and Babylon,
and 80 strict were their rules that In
some cases the penalty of death was
inflicted for infringing them. Each
mans work was strictly defined, and
even the number OF hours that he was
allowed to work was stated In the
charter of his guild or union. Later
exactly the same state of affairs ex-
listed In Pompeii, and inscriptions have
been discovered stating specific APP
pointments OF officials to trade unions.

Crabs In Conflict. e

The most savage specimen of the
crab species is found in Japan. As
soon as he spies another OF his kind
he scrapes his claws together in rage,
challenging him to combat. Not a mo-

sand flies as the warriors push each
other hither and thither. until at last
one of them stretches himself out in
the throes of death. still feebly rub
bling his claws in defiance of the foe.

Bees will place their honeycombs In
