Dumps for. refuse are one of the
 greatest menaces of the public health.
 William L. Zepp, health commissioners declared today. He intimated that profting by the lessons of the past his board will in the future designate certain locations as public dumps and will supervise them. At present a number of dumps have been closed to public use and those in use are guard ed by special policemen. It is the in tention of the board of health to. con- tinue this supervision indefinitely fl the plan the board is considering ia carried out. Commissioners zepp said today: t7NsS tE
 While from an economic stand point perhaps 1t tsl ell right to have dumps picked over and material re- claimed, but. from a, standpoint o1 health it is a dangerous practice and should not be allowed. Prevention ii better than, cure and we can prevent chances of the spread of disease by regulation of these public dumping places. This regulation must be es- tablished sometime and it might al we'll De now."

Too much ego is apt to give one

"A made by Rabbi Martin A. Meyer
He said. in part:
1t is not new for Israel to suffer.
1t is not new for US to know misery
pain and desolation.
It is no new thing for our people
Of the wandering foot to take their
way from land to land.
But when 100000 are hidden to
forsake their homes and to 60 out into
the bleak winter wastes, the magni-
tude Of the thing appals. Israel
knows how to bear pain. We have
cared for our own in every age and
country in which we dwslt.
It is not new to Israel to share the
burdens Of others. But It IL new to
turn to others.
1t is gloriously new to know that
the faith has not been misplaced,
from the president Of the United
States to the humblest member Of the
communities which are aiding in this
cause.
Israel is American.
Israel Is heart and soul American.
1t is consecrated to the ideals Of hu-

Let us recognize that every dollar
contributed to this fund will pay

fellow churchmen.
He was followed by Otto Irving
Wise. who appealed for help with an
intensity Of feeling that tugged at the
heart strings of his hearers. He said
in part:
"One Jew on trial in Kien on a
charge Of ritual murder caused the
world to stand aghast at the injustice
and immortality of Russian tyranny.
The whole world took up the fight
and saved this Jews life.

Are you going to hesitate at q
time like this? When the huge Rus

men, women and children were made
a breastwork of flesh. They are
waiting there now for succor. Let US
revive the old spirit Of brotherhood.

must not cause you to forget your
