BABIES ARE HUNGRY:
YOU CAN HELP THEM
New Britain Jews to Collect Funds to
Aid Suffering Brethren
in T,nrOro
in Europe

If an old man whom you knew to
be hungry asked you for the price of
a meal while you were strolling along
the sunny side of the street you would
not refuse to help him because his
religious views did not coincide with
yours.
If a child were knocked down in
| the street by an ice wagon you would
not pass by unconcerned because you
and the child's parents did not wor
| ship under the same religious banner.
Today in Europe thousands of aged
men and women are starving and
thousands of children are being made
! unfit physically for life's battle. Are
! you going to continue your stroll on
| the sunny side of the street and make
no effort to relieve their sufferings?"
| To heir them In their misery. to
cause the sunshine of happiness TO
| light up the faces of tired mothers,
| to place bread in the outstretched
| hands Of emaciated children-that is
the aim of the New Britain branch of
the American-Jew Relief commit
tee which will hold a mass meeting
Sunday evening at 7:3O o'clock at
Grammar school hall. Last year the
general committee sent more than
100000 to their fellow religionists
abroad. This year it is proposed to
send s10.OOO.OOO.
The Jews III Europe are suffering
from the natural reason of war and
the unnatural reason of religious pre-
judice. OF all the sufferers in the
ill-starrcd Eastern hemisphere, the
Jews are forced to bear the greatest
burden America is their only hope
America is the only barrier between
th"~' and starvation.
The New Britain committee has ar
ranged for number of eloquent
speakers for the meeting Sunday
night but perhaps the greatest guar
antee of success was the securing Of
Isadore Hershteld a New York law
yer of eminencc, who will deliver the
principal talk of the evening. 1t is
seldom that Attorney Hershfeld can
be induced to visit a city the size of
New Britain as he is in constant de-
mand in larger communities and it
was with extreme qualification that
Attorney NJ. d. SAKE: who will pre-
side at the meeting, learned that he
would add his eloquence to the oc-
! caSiOn.

Advantage of Household Work.

For young girls who have finished
grammar school, who have no money
for further study and who are un-
der the necessity of providing for their
own support, there is much to be said
in favor of some form of household
work. Unfortunately, great preju-
dice exists against it; but an ambitious
girl has as good, if not better, opportu-
mites for advancement than factory
work provides. In the factory she will
be obliged to work as hard as she can
all the time in order to earn a living,
and it is impossible to keep up this
effort for more than few years with
out a nervous breakdown. While in
some factories she will have an op-
portunity to learn trade and gain
advancement, this is not always the
case. The higher positions are corr
paratively few, and the conditions in
the factories not always satisfactory.

There are two ways, especially, in which women

for the front, and
