THE MOST POPULAR MAN IN

A little while ago we were told
that Mr.. Julius Rcsenwald, as
member of the Defense Commits
sion, had saved the United States
Government two millions of dollars.
Mr.. Rosenwald, despite this fact,
has won the disapprobation of GER

courage of his conviction, and pro-
nounced as "stupid' the proposed
amendment to the food control bill
prohibiting the members of the

EDl 1TORlAL
LIBERAL JUDAISM.

Liberal Judaism, as religion, is
still meeting with opposition, and is
often made the butt of ridicule and
the subject of criticism and reproach
by two classes of Jews: the rigidly
orthodox and the Zionists. To the
orthodox, who think of Judaism only
in terms of rabbinic and Mosaic law,
liberal or Reform Judaism means
the violation of the law and there
fore the LIBERALIZATION of our faith.
They forget that the history of
Judaism shows conclusively that
the Jewish law too, like all legisla-
ton, was a matter of growth, de-
velopment and change in response
to the needs of the times and con-
ditions. The prophets denied the
validity of certain laws and customs
that we're firmly established among
the people. The rabbis, too, modi-
fled many laws, declared some abro-
gated and replaced by others. To
be sure, they went about it guard
eddy and cautiously. But they
realized that no law, except the
eternally moral, can be valid for
ever. Liberal Judaism declares GER

SUMMER RESORT RISHUS.
July Is, 1917

The annual exodus of the city
jewellers to the country furnishes
some unpleasant experiences to the
Jew. He often finds that his pat
ronage is not desired. He is either
told so very bluntly and brutality,
or he is given such reception and
treatment as to convince that his
departure will not be regretted.
Ihls is a sad state of affairs and
gives the lie to Our boosted culture
1t helps us to understand the ter
rible catastrophe of a world war
The base, the brutal, still predomi-
mates in many minds and hearts.
The Jew may console himself
with the thought that the people
who don't desire his company or
patronage at summer resorts are of
such character as would prompt
him to avoid them if he knew them
better. They are either of the
coarse, stupid, and vulgar type, or Of
that gay and sporty element that
feels uncomfortable in the presence
or proximity Of. respectable people.
In either case it is no loss or injury
to the self-respecting Jew to be ex-
cluded from such resorts and such
company.

true faith Of Israel and even con-
trary to the spirit of the times, and
out of accord with the life of the
modern Jew.
The Zionists find fault with and
rebuke Reform Judaism because of
it's opposition to Jewish nationalism.
But this opposition is only in aber-
ration on the part of Reform Juda
ism at the present time. The early
Reformers Of Judaism lived at a
time when it was found necessary
or advisable to declare before the
world that the Jews are not, and do
not wish to be considered, a sepa-
rate nation. The leading spirits Of
the age at that time stressed the
idea Of universalism. But we have
gotten beyond that stage. The ma
tionalist ideal has been revived and
is we'll combined with the vision Of
universalism, even as was done by
our prophets of old. For Reform
rabbis still to insist that Reform
Judaism and nationalism are incom-
patible is stubbornly to cling to an
outworn idea that has lost all mean
ing. The great American ideal, too,
is nationalism, one of the forces that
have driven us into the present war.
We wish to help to preserve the in
tegrity and independence of the
small nations.
That liberal Judaism and Zionism
are not discordant is we'll perceived
by the more scholarly, more logic
ally thinking leaders of Reform at
the present time, and many of them
have already joined the nationalist
movement. 1t is only question of
a few years more when the Central
Conference of American Rabbis will
be equally divided on Zionism and
such announcements as were made
on the subject by the outgoing presi-
dent of the Conference will be con-
sidered nonsensical.
Zionists, therefore, should not
blame liberal Judaism for the follies
and blunders of a few of it's spokes-
men and leaders. Liberal Judaism
is necessary, inevitable expression
of the religious spirit of the age.
1t is in harmony with the spirit of
the religion of the prophets. They
were the liberals, nay, the radicals
of their day. To the young Ameri-
can Jew, reared in modern atmos-
pAere, schooled in the thought of the
age, orthodoxy is unintelligible,
strange, meaningless and without
appeal. He cannot see what faith in
God and in Israel's destiny has to
do with all the petty rabbinc ordi-

Sweet potatoes can be made mn lm'

specialists In Uncle Sans department
OF agriculture, II ls quite easy to In.
crease the acreage enormously and
the adoption OF better methods of
handling aud storing would improve
the product to such nn extent that the
demand would be greatly stimulated.
Storing sweet potatoes has always
been n more dlnIcult problem thnn

80 per cent Of the potatoes decay and
even those which nro ilt TO put ON the

One Instance Found in Which
Cleanliness Is Menace.
Uncle Sans Specialists Say Great
Loss Results in Cold Storage
Plants From Washing Shells.

Uncle Sans specialists have dis
covered one instance where cleanli-
ness Is not to be desired where dirt
Is protection rather than a menace.
Strange to say, this discovery has to
do with the preservation Of one item
Of food supply. ,
Approximately 5,010,000 dozen eggs
spoil needlessly every year in cold
storage simply because someone has
let clean eggs get wet or has washed
dirty eggs before sending them to
market, according to the experts Of
the United States department Of az
rlculture. Careful investigations of
large quantities Of stored eggs show
that from II to % per cent of washed
eggs become worthless in storage,
whereas only A to s per cent Of dirty
eggs stored unwushed spoil. The eX-
PLANTATION Is simple. Water removes
from the shell Of the egg n gelatinous
covering which helps 10 keep air and
germs out Of the inside Of the egg.
Once this covering Is removed by
washing or rain which gets to eggs In
the nest, germs and molds find ready
access TO the contents and spoil the
eggs.
This enormous loss in storage eggs
largely can be prevented, 1t Is de-
clared, II producers and egg handlers
viii refrain from washing eggs des.
tined for the storage markets and take
pains to reduce the number Of dirty
eggs by providing plenty Of clean,
sheltered nests for their hens.
Millions Of eggs spoil In storage be-
cause they have been exposed TO dew,
rain, dirt, and sun In stolen nests In
the grass or fence corners.
In view of this great loss Of vulu.
able food, the department urges coun-
try storekccpers and hucksters not to
accept washed eggs for shipment In
case lots, Shiny eggs, especially In
the early spring, probably have been
washed. All washed eggs purchased
should be sold locally for immediate
consumption, II Is declared.

Boston's Historic Hill.

Copps hill was the most northerly OF
the three hills which were the dlstln-
gushing feature of Boston at the time
of its settlement. At one time 1t was
known as Windmill hill, from the fact
that at one time q big mill stood on the
summit. Laterit was known as Snow
hill. The name Copps hill Is supposed
to have come from William Copp IL
cobbler who lived on his own home
stead near the hill. Copps hill was the
second burylng ground which was es-
t0blished in the town on the summit OF
the hill where the old mill had stood.
1t was first used for interments In 1860,
and for long time was known as the
"Old North burying ground" The old
est Inscription It contains, dated Au-
gust 15, 1862, purportlng to commemor-.
ate the deaths Of John Thwlng In 1920
and Grace Berry, in 1926, both some
years before the founding Of the coli
ony, nre thought to have been altered
by some mlschlevous boy with his
knife. II Is related that the British sol
diers, while occupying the burylng
ground as II military station, used the
gravestones for targets and marks Of
the bullets were visible for years after
the revolution. I.

EACH HAS ONE REGULARITY
That of Mrs. BlItops, Remarks Her
Spouse, Is Belief That She Can Go
Out in Rain and Not Get Wet.

ut is my observation" said Mr.. Bill
tops, shat we all of US have, con-
sciously or unconsciously, some one
popularity in which our friends must
indulge us.
"Now take Mrs. Billtops; the gen.
tlest, the most forbearing, the most
serenely patient person on the face
Of the earth. You wouldn't think that
Mrs. Billtops had any strange notion
in which she must be humored But
she has Just one, the same being that
1t is possible to carry an umbrella over
her in such q manner as to shelter
her completely. In this notion
humor her as far as l can, but know
that whenever we go anywhere in the
rain ! am in for trouble.
81 hold the umbrella way over on
her side, always protecting her hat as
far as possible, and calmly letting the
rain drip down on my OWE hat and
shoulder, but no matter how l carry
it l simply cannot carry it to suit her.
I always carry 1t wrong in some way,
not far enough over or too high or
too low.
"'Can't you see that it's crushing
my featherY Mrs. Billtops says to me
in tone low but of great concentra-
ton, at which l raise the umbrella a
little, and then moment later:
Don't you see that the rain is
blowing in on my hatY she says, and
then hold 1t little lower again, and
keep right on all the time doing the
best know how, though the simple
fact Is that no man living could
shelter any woman completely under
an umbrella unless he had one as big
as the dome Of the capitol at Wash
ington.
ut Is time of trial when I go out
Wit. Mrs. Billtops with an umbrella,
its elimination coming after we get
home, when she shakes her coat and
her skirts and says: 4 am just soak
ing! But 1t Is soon over after that.
"You might think that these occa-
sions would be dread to me, but the
fact Is quite to the contrary; for it is
by these little human lapses on Mrs.
Billtops part that l am made to
realize more fully and gratefully the
blessing Of her all but perennial Sc
renity."
