NO JEWISH DRUNKARDS IN

Copenhagen.-A report issued by
the Emergency Hospital Society,
covering it's activities in the IS years
since it was organized, shows that
in that period assistance was given
to 1866 Catholics and Fl 400 Jews.
There were fewer victims of alco-

have passed in which there were no
Jewish drunkards to occasion call

Buenos Aires.-The Minister of

Jewish holidays. This is the first
time that such a request has been
made by the Jewish students of this

There is now on foot movement
to obtain the same privilege for
Jewish students of the lower

PHILADELPHIA JUDGE IN
SUITS JEWS.

Philadelphia Jews have launched
gigantic protest against the state
ments of Judge Charles L. Brown
of the Philadelphia Municipal Court.
Judge Brown, during the famous
murder case which is now being
tried and for which the mayor of
Philadelphia and several other pro-
minent politicians have been in
dicted as accessories, made the fol-
lowing remarks:
II can't understand why a man
having a Hebrew name. should
change it to a name of some other
nationality and bring reproach on
that other nation. I am moved to
say this because I have noted in my
official career as a judge in this
court and other branches of this
court that I have been called upon
frequently to sit in judgment in the
cases of Hebrews, some of them of
the very lowest type, who were
charged with offenses no Irishman
in Gods world ever would be guilty
Of" ,t.a 49,. -.
Judge Brown afterwards retrac-
ted these remarks and said he was
misinterpreted, and did not mean
to cast a slur upon the Jewish peo-
pie of Philadelphia. AS statistics
show that the criminality among
Philadelphia Jews is less than the
share their proportion to the popu
lation would warrant, Judge Brown
is receiving much censure for his
unjustihed utterances.

USE Of GASOLINE
TO Be RESTRICTED
Government Issues Warning
Of Drastic Action to
Auto Owners
NO Joy RIDING"
DURING THE WAR

WASHINGTON. Aug t4-warninR
OF the possibility Of drastic action by
the Federal Government to stop ox-
cessioe pleasure OF automobiles dur
ing the war in order that the gaso-
line needs OF the United States and
its Allies may be met is gwen in
statement issued by Director Van II
Manning, Of the Bureau Of Mines. in
which he asks the cooperation Of au-
tomobile owners in stopping the prac-
lice
Enough gasoline 10 care for the re-
qulrements Of America and perhaps
that Of its Allies. would be saved. in
The opinion Of Mr. Manning. IF au-
lomooile owners Of the country will
stop unnecessary and eNtravagant
pleasure riders. and II owners and
dealers handle this fuel in a careful
and economical manner
"A patriotic thoughtful and unself-
ish response 10 these suggestions he
said. would at once solve ope Of the
perpleXing problems now before the
war-making authorities. In order that
the war may be carried on success
fully. the army and navy will have to
have Immediately on hand enough
gasoline for the airplanes, trucks, au-
tomobiles tractors and other ma
chimes. Theho must be no dilly-dally-
Ing about this supply Of gasoline. and
there won't be-
ut rs estimated that the army and
navy will need for the year 350,O00000
gallons, and there are two ways Of
obtaining IL In the first place, the
Joy rider whose pleasure is obtained
by covering many miles at high speed
can voluntarily give this up, the man
who takes his family on Sunday for
a ffty-mile ride or more can cut this
I'm half: eevry man who drives a ma
chine daily can ask himself n part Of
his riding cannot be Obviated.
ITO sum up. every automobile
owned and driver can be taught TO ask
himself each morning whether or not
his proposed trip is absolutely neces-
sary and ACT accordingly. Then the
problem is solved and with only
slight voluntary sacrifices On tho
other hand II the people continue &c

may be necessary for the United
States to take drastic action which
will stop excessive pleasure use o.
automobiles. This is not yet contem
plated. so I understand. but IL is thu
only alternative for the refusal OF thu
automobile owners to cooperate ant
make tho necessary voluntary sacri

1T IS generally estimated and con
ceded that one-half Of tho gasolin
used in the United States Zone billioi
two hundred and fifty million gallons
IS used in pleasure riding. In m
opinion a iudicious use OF the auto

would mean the saving OF more tina
