ton or race will never lead to mans
progress. And the sooner man learns
that the sooner his moral progress
and salvation will come. Man must
learn that there is a God dwelling in
the breast of every human being; in
the African aborgine, as we'll as in
the English Newton; in the negro as
well as in the white genius, and the
reason one did and the other did not
as yet produce Newtons, is because
one already had the opportunity, as
modern ethniology teaches, for spirit
ual development, and the other as
vet did not. Let then, the races and
nations who consider themselves
mentally superior to the others show
their true greatness by their humility
and by their life Of noblesse-oblige. Of
social service for the lower nations
and races. Let them make their mis-
sion to uplift these lower races to
their own level, to work for their
good even as the Great Prophet OF
the File made this the mission OF
Israel for the nations.
It is this, Rabbi Silver declared,
that distinguishes the truly religious
individual or nation from the ire
ligous. 1t Is that is the characteristic
Of a religious life, humility in heart
and social service in action, which
latter, humility inspires. AS tho

THE ROPE TO
REDUCE FLESH
Wearing Boomers, Twenty
Women Take Exercise on
Roof Of New York Hotel.

NEW YORK, AIN. 22.-What is a
poor woman to do when the styles In
clothes are all for the slender and
willowy figure and when nature or
good living has padded ones bones
with dozens of pounds Of flesh?
The answer Of course is-get thin.
And that is just what club Of So
ciety buds in New York are doing
at their daily early dawn meetings on
the roof Of the Hotel Majestic. They
meet at early dawn, we'll, because
er-that is-shucks--let us be frank.
They wear boomers.
And they do not juggle dumbells or
leap over bars or anything so crude
as that. No, they simply 60 back to
the exercise of their childhood-they
skip rope.
DR.. w. G. Moyen, New York doc
tor. has said It is the best method
for taking off chunks Of fat. And
they are certainly trying to achieve
the chunckless bliss. The "class"
goes through all the rope skipping
stunts little girls do in the school
yards in the spring time. including
twenty minutes Of very fast jumping
known as "salt-and-pepper."
Nerve, mental concentration and
buoyant disposition are demanded
when the advancing movement re-
quires that both feet have the rope
at the same time. There being no
way by which the revefes English can
be put on the attraction Of gravitation
and maintained for even little while
in getting away from terra hrma long
enough for the passage Of the rope
under the feet is positively awful for
some women. Still they manage to
do 1t.
The rope skipping craze was really
started on December when obesity
observers pointed to the Thermometer
and said that with cases Of acute las
situde and champagne all over town
there was bound to be ennui compli-
cations which would call for some
thing beside the tango and ice skat-
ing.
II is worth any height to see twenty
determined women, singly, In pairs
and ensembles, going after their
waist lines, ounce by ounce. and never
] once giving up or giving in.

MOSES GREATEST

as in the case Of Moses. from ones
humility. If one is meek, one will
acquire sympathy, one will learn to
see the God in every mans heart,
one will then be impelled to help that
God within every individuals heart

spect are the true reward of a life OF
meekness and social service.
The proud, the arrogant and the
consequently selfish, can never win
the respect of their fellowmen. AS
humility is the base Of every virtue,
as is pride the spring Of all vice.
Pride, in the words of Pope, Is the

play the big role for while to a
horde of other proud fools, but thus
unlamented pass the proud away.

day. So perish all whose breast

proverb teaches that before pride

PROBLEM
In Chemistry is That Of Sym
pathetic Explosion Not Yet
Solved by Experts.

LONDON, Jan. 22..-Among the
many problems of chemistry regard
ing which war has given increased op-
portunities for research is the curious
one of sympathetic explosions. Why
is 1t, ask the experimenters, that the
explosion OF one mass Of combustible
will cause the explosion Of a similar
mass considerable distance away?
The average layman, II asked for an
explanation, would attribute the sec
ond explosion to shock, acting like
hammer blow. But an actual ham,
mer blow Of some force would not
cause most modern explosives to go
off. Moreover, the shock is softened
and in part absorbed by the earth It
travels through, so that the actual
bump could have little effect on the
explosives affected by It.
One theory that has the support Of
many experts is that the vibrations
set up by the first explosion have the
power to produce definite chemical
actions in similar explosive COM
pounds. These vibrations are either
electric atmospheric, or something re-
lated to ordinary sound vibrations
II particles of iodide Of nitrogen, says
one writer, are placed on the strings
of violoncello and another cello is
played nearby, as soon as the vibra-
lions reach a certain pitch, the iodide
on the strings of the first instrument
explode. This is a true sympathetic
explosion" and suggests path for
further experimenting.
A second theory is that the shock
of the first explosion is converted in
to heat, which results is the second
explosion.

And the Prototype of All Great
Men Declares Rabbi in a
Stirring Address.

1.-THE Characteristic of a Religious
Life" was the subject of Rabbi Max
we'll Silver's address to Congrega-
ton Temple Emanuel at the Masonic
Temple Friday evening, to a we'll at
tended audience.
The Hebrew Bible speaks Of Moses
as the traditional greatest man that
ever lived, and emphasizes the fact
that 1.-THE man Moses was the meekest
Of all men that ever lived upon the
EARTH" Moses. Rabbi Silver de-
clared, may be taken as the prototype
OF all great men. The great man Is
the humble man. and the greater he
is, the more humble he is. Nay, we
may say, that humility Is not only
the barometer OF ones greatness, but
that It is also the cause Of it. Moses
Is recorded to have been a prince IN
the house Of Pharo. II he were not
meek and humble he would have
turned away in proud disdain from
tho oppression OF a mere horde OF
slaves. He did not do this, however,
but fastened to the relief and liberia
ton Of that horde of slaves; saw
their great spiritual possibilities,
gave them new religion, disciplined
them. educated them, and started
them on their great career Of the
prophet-people, the spiritual light
OF the Gentiles." Moses's humility
endeared him with profound human
sympathy, which sympathy brought
him near the people Of lower cultur-
al attainment than his, which SYM
patty inspired him with confidence
and faith in the inherent spiritual
possibilities that lie dormant In every
human being, inspired him to become
a leader Of people, an educator Oh
people, a great man.
Inwardly, Rabbi Silver continued,
the great man is characterized by his
humility, as was Moses; outwardly,
in action, in conduct, he is recog-
nized by his social service as In the
cases Of Moses again. Indeed, the
latter, social service, is anemanation,
