WINTER: BIRD
FEEDING URGED.
Bureau Of Biological Survey of
U. s. Department Of Agricul-
ture Suggests to Park OFF,
Gals in Northern United
States the Advantages Of As
sisting the Feathered Life of
the Cities. to Pass the Winter
Safely.

i Washington. Dec. 15.-In order that
birds may be helped safely through
the approaching winter when snow
will cover many Of their usual sources
Of food, the Bureau Of the Biological
Survey Of the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture IS urging city park off,
tcials to make bird feeding an activity
in the city pleasure grounds.
Letters have been sent to the Off
Gals Of parks in the northern parts
Of the United States pointing out the
value of birds to the community be-
cause Of their destruction Of insects
injurious to trees and crops; and CALL
ing attention to Farmers Bulletins
621. relating to the Northeastern, and
760, relating to the Northwestern
states, issued by the Department,
which offer practical suggestions for
attracting and feeding birds. The
furnishing Of facilities for feeding the
out, will give enjoyment to many
people, especially bird lovers.
The letter continues:
winter feeding may be done in the
simplest ways, as by putting up suet
in small cans, in cocoanuts, or under
wire netting, and by scattering mixed
seeds on bare places; or more elab-
crate apparatus and more varied foods
may be used. We enclose a publica-
ton giving details Of the methods Of
feeding and attracting wild birds and
trust that you will be interested In
adding bird feeding stations to the at
fractions in your parks. BY means of
them you can bring to convenient OBJ
|servation points several species Of the
most attractive, interesting, and val
liable birds. Such feeding stations
are Of great interest to children and
give the boys and girls a chance to
learn birds while they are having the
enjoyment Of feeding them.
THE bulletin we enclose specializes
on the use Of producing trees
and shrubs in attracting birds and we
hope that this feature also will be Of
interest to you.
eve are aware that park officials in
various cities have already taken up
bird feeding and that the movement
has proved popular. We shall be glad
to receive reports on the success Of
the plan from. any who have tried
it. and those who have not are urged
to do so even if only on small scale
We are sure That the results will be
satisfactory to them as well as help
full to the birds"

THE STRANGER IN THE
SYNAGOGUE.

The complaint is often made that
we Jews do not show enough cour-
tcsy to strangers visiting our syna-
gogues. Among Christian denom-
nations, it is claimed, a more COM
mcndable spirit is to be found in this
regard.
Whether or not the comparison
between our own attitude to stran-
gers at divine services and that of
our Christian brethren be true, the
complaint does not seem altogether
just. Those who plead for ostensi-
bic signs of greeting and welcome to
the visiting worshipper on the
ground that our neighbors do it,
seem to forget the fundamental diff
fernce between the synagogue and
the church. The latter takes upon
itself the mission of saving the sons
of fallen humanity, while the former
conceives it as its duty to afford a
place Of worship to those who have
an intelligent desire for the benefits

YOUNG AND OLD.

People of the old school often for
get that the world does not stand
still, that things move and we move
with them. They do not seem to
know or they do not remember that
ideas, sentiment and feelings change
with time and environment, they act
on the principle that what appealed
to themselves back in the ffties in
some hamlet, village or four-by-four
town. must necessarily appeal equal
ly much to their offspring in the
twentieth century and in the large
city. Thus they make unreasonable
demands and impose unnecessary

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

"A Jewish SOUP is the title Of
story. If there is "Jewish" soul it
can manifest it's Jewishness only by
conduct peculiarly Jewish. If there
is such thing as "Jewish' conduct
some of it is probably good and some
of it bad. SO there must be Jewish
virtues and Jewish vices. 1t sounds
logical. But we cannot admit that
there are vices peculiarly Jewish.
Can it be then that there is no such
person as a "Jewish Soul"

%

of religion. The concern of the
church is that those "who come to
scott remain to pray but the con-
viction of the synagogue is that only
those who come to pray will pray.
The highest aim of Christianity is to
gain converts to its beliefs and dog
mas, while that of Judaism is to train
it's adherents for an exemplary life.
Also, the church has a contribution
box, which the visitor helps to fill,
while the synagogue provides for the
stranger without the least demand
in return. Thus the position of ben
efactor and beneficiary in the church
becomes at once completely reversed
in the synagogue.
If it be true, therefore, that the
Christian congregation melts in
courtesy and kindness at the mere
possibility and in the strenuous
effort of making convert, the Jew
ish visiting worshiper should be glad
to dispense with the patting and
patronizing of pulpit and pew.
In fact, we are of the opinion that
the synagogue is no more a place
for interfering with or importuning
stranger than is the library or any
other public institution. It is open
and free to all, and the attendance
at divine service on the part of a
stranger should be taken as natural
right and as matter of course. I'm
less the stranger wishes to be spoken
to or to be shown some favor, in
which case the Jewish ministry and
laity will be found most responsive,
he or she should be left strictly alone.

structures which arc bound to do
harm For such course inevitably
results in calling forth open rebel
lion or secret disgust, which ulti-
mately brings about strong reac-
ton, and this not infrequently at
the most inopportune time and in
the most improper manner.
On the other hand, our young peo-
pie often show lack of considera-
ton for the older folks that is, to
say the least, astonishing. Because
they happened to receive a different
sort of what is commonly called
"education," they seem to think the
fifth commandment does not apply
to their case Moreover, if they are
favored by fortune to the extent of
being permitted to move in "select
circles" and to cultivate "hattering
friendships" then the old fashioned
father and the medieval mother are
"old fogies" whose only purpose in
life it must be to toll and work so
that they themselves, the pride of
the parents, may be finely fed and
grandly gowned SO as to "cut fig
ure' in the smart set. Aside from
this privilege of providing for them
the parents have, of course, no claim
on this type of children. Their coun-
sells are not considered, their advice
is not asked, and their words are
worthless. Needless to say that
where such feeling is prevalent,
confidence between parent and child
is simply out of the question.
This condition of base selfshness
on the part of parents and silly con-
ccitedness of the children, we fear,
exists at the present time in many
Jewish family and causes many a
house in modern Israel to be divided
against itself.

without specifically Jewish medium
Of communication should be mani
fest to anyone at all interested in the
welfare of the community. What
ever may have been thought of its
editorial policy, whatever differences
of opinion as to it's reading matter,
there can be only one verdict on the
value of it's services in behalf of all
charitable and educational endeavor
Such service will henceforth be
needed more than ever before.
Things are brewing in Jewish life,
duties are pending, demands will be
forthcoming in which all Jews will
be asked to participate. Much there
is in the local community life which
needs expression and Qualification.
Interest in local affairs must be slim
ulated and maintained. This is not
a matter for individuals. 1t is a
community concern, the same as any
other civic institution, and should
be supported and cared for until it
becomes measurably self-support-
ing
We hope that this excellent Jew
ish periodical, which under the
guidance of it's brilliant editor, Louis
H. Levin, has stood in the front rank
Of Jewish American journalism, will
have its affairs SO readjusted as to
continue in existence. The predica-
ment in which it finds itself at the
present time, however, throws an
interesting sidelight on the condi-
tons of American Jewry. That a
Jewish community like that of Bal
timore, with it's numbers, it's inf1u-
cnce and affluencc, should not be
able or willing to sustain one Jew
ish paper in it's midst, is sad, indeed.
AS to the benefit Of such a paper to
the community, the above clipping
from the Jewish Comment confirms
what we have SO many times said.

And now it appears that the great
English national war song clipper
airy" was written by an American
Jew. The Zionist will probably
claim this another bit of evidence of
the fitness of Jews to be nation.
Meanwhile it is better to be kept
busy writing war songs for other
nations than ones own.
Some people say it looks bad for
the Germans. Itnever did look good
for ews and still we are here.
If many more Jews win the Noble
prize we shall soon have a nobility
all our own.
