WHAT AN EYE WITNESS
SAW IN EUROPE
CONTINUED from page 81

which have since been occupied by
the German forces were later per-
mitted to return. The city Of Kovno
today, however, instead of its nor
NAL population of $4,000 Jews, has
only about 1900 Jewish souls. It's
business thoroughfares have the 81
lence Of graveyard or deserted
city. Most of the stores are closed
and boarded up, the Jewish store
keepers have gone and never re-
turned.
And what of the Jewish spirit?
Has it been undermined and broken
by the vicissitudes Of warfare, the
grinding poverty, the pestilentlal
defamation? The death rate now,
twice the normal may destroy Jew
ish bodies, but all the calamlties
Israel has sustained and is sustain
ing in the eastern war zone have not
and will not break the Jewish spirit.
The picture of ruin, desolatlOn and
suffering, which | shall never forget,
is lighted by beautiful rainbow OF
PROMISE 1t is only Of Jews that one
can hear and believe the stories that
while Sochazew was being lombard
ed, they held religious services in
the cellars. The Mishnayoth classes
continued uninterruptedly in the eel
lars of Lovicz, while the projectiles
were falling all about them.
The Synagogue First.
I will never forget the red bearded
man Of Sochazew, who, grasping my
coat, told me to pay no heed to the
demands of his townsmen for money
to relieve the starvation. Never
mind the food" he said. 1--WE have
not starved to death, and we shall
not. Somehow we will find enough
to eat; but look, Mr. American Rep
resentative, at this synagogue. 1t is
now months since this room has
been shot through, the ark tumbled
over, it's side wall mass of
debris. Send us money for the re-
pairing of our Synagogue, SO that
our religious life can continue. God
will not see us starve, if we hold to
the spirit of our religion" Truly
one need only travel through dcvast-
ated Poland and Lithuania to be as
sured that we Jews arc the "People
of the Book"
AS to the women and children
whose husbands and fathers reside
in America. This is wholly an i'm
migration matter, and one to which

TIE story is told tiat at Hawar-
den one morning little Dorothy
Drew refused to get UP When all
other means had failed to coax her
out of bed Mr.. Gladstone wa
called.
"Why won't you get up, my
child ?" he asked
0Vhy, grandfather, didn't you
tell me to do what the Bible says Z
asked Dorothy.
Eyes, certainly"
"Well, it disapproves of early ris-
ing: saws it's waste of time"
Mr.. Gladstone knew his Bible bet
ter than most men, but he was moi
equal to Dorothy. For oDce IN hli
hfe he was nonpLused.
"You listen. then," went or
Dorothy in reply to his exclamation
Of astonishment, and, turning "
her Bible, she read the second verse
Of the One Hundred and Twenty
seventh Psalm, laying great empha
SIS on the first words, "lt Is vain To-
YOU to rise up early"

The Eartk's Surface.

The surface of the earth can be
compared to the top of barrel OF
asphalt, hard and rigid through and
through, scanned and cracked on the
surface by the e.ements. For ten
miles in a straight line below the
surface the earth is probably dry
and hard, of rock substance. The
pressure of this substance upon the
heated center of the earth keeps it
from getting hotter than it is, just
as you can keep water from boiling
by an appropriately sufficient pres
sure. The fact that there is steam
in volcanic eruptions is the leakage
of the interior pressure of heat IN
the earth. The character of matter
in the center of the earth or its i'm
mediate environment must be some
thing like pumice stone-spongy,
porous, ight-because when the
earth's interior matter is melted IN
the high temperatures that are
there it dissolves, and there is con-
siderable water in it that escapes
through volcanic craters in steam.

versity.

Whx He Bolted.

At one of the London clubs ono
evening Mr.. Montagu Williams met
Lord -, who had just lost his fa-
ther. The young lord was naturally
melancholy, and the lawyer pro-
posed visiting theater opposite,
which proposition was accepted.
There was slight fire in the thea
ter, whereupon the young lord was
among the first to bolt, like rab-
Bit" out of the building. Return
ing leisurely to the club, Mr.. Will
liams found there his young friend
quietly smoking cigar.
"What on earth made you bolt
that way? You seemed frightened
out of your wits mot difficult mat
ter perha2). Don't you know that
on such az occae on if everybody
got up and ashed out a panic would
ensue, Wit very likely fatal conse-
quences? Why on eartn couldn't
you sit still, as ! did? There was
nothing serious tho matter" Upon
this, with the most patronizing air
the young gentleman replied, ooh.
yes, that's very well for you, but
you've not just succeeded to g peer
age and 100000 year." =,

The Clever Weaver Bird.

An interesting bird is the "wesv.
er." 1t seems to be fond of max
ing enormous nests merely for the
purpose of exercise in the art o.
construction. Supply these. bird
with strings and straw, and the
will use them up rapidly, and Their
fabric is woven with perfectness
that is astonishing. In some coun-
tries it is the custom of the weaver
birds TO colonize and build one big
fat topped platform, two or three
yards across, which is so admirably
put together as to shed the rain as
we'll as any roof could do. Under
this roof they make individual pock-
ct shaped nests, bringing up under
this unique structure a large and
interesting family of little weavers.
There is another bird, called the
"tailor," which, instead of weaving
Its nest, incloses it in big leaves and
stitches the latter together with
plant fiberS, just as one would sew i
piece of cloth.

VARIETY ON HIS TABLE


Old man Wowton, the meanest
citizen In all the blue grass country,
drove UP. to the market place IN
lexington. where an army of ne
groes stood about or lay basking IN
the early morning sun waiting for
some man to hire them. Ths old
man was so stingy that he usually
had great difficulty in engaging ne
nroes to do extra work on his farm.
But this, time he struck q bargain
immediately with big Bill Saunders
and the half dnzen powerful bnt
lazy blacks who follow at his heels.
