Velvet Hats for Fall.

y Although you may make your choice
among hats of many different shapes
the chances are that it will fall upon
something made of velvet, either plain
or paume-and that that something
will be simply trimmed. The capelino

dressed up in velvet sometimes of two
kinds and often of two cOlorS. Since

the convention is over, such people, |
am sure, feel they would have been
better off had there been no conven-
ton. A convention creates a great
deal Of excitement in the circles di-
rectly concerned, great preoccupation
of the mind with the affairs and the
features of the convention, to the ex-
clusion and neglect of daily routine
and duty and the more or less i'm
portant matters of Our daily life. Ex-
element is always drain on our en-
ergies and results III a partial disloca
ton of our regular affairs. Worse
than all, a convention always calls
for some expense on the part of the
hosts, which means that some people
must contribute some money. Peo-
pie, as rule, do not cheerfully do
it unless they can see some return
for it, even if it is onl y in some in
tellectual satisfaction.
Thus have we summed up the dis
agreeable features of conventions.
The last one may be offset by the fact
that a convention generally brings
money into the community. Our
guests too, must spend money to live
a few days here, SO that a flow of
money from two sources is set into
circulation And that is all that money
is good for-to circulate. There is
no value in money that remains stag
nant, that is boarded. The only trou-
Bile is that it generally circulates in
the wrong direction, that it does not
always come back to the same source,
or the same pocket, from which it
flowed forth. But that does not mat
ter much. In spite of the outcry peo-
pie raise when asked to contribute to
the financing or promotion of some
enterprise, they never hurt themselves
giving. They do not give unless they
can afford it, and can spare what they
give.
We must mention another evil,
more serious one, that springs from
conventions, with special reference to
one of the conventions held here.
A convention often brings in it's
train flood of oratory, and the ora
tors while defending or advocating
the cause in which they are interested,
and which is dear to them will at the

THE EFFECT OF CONVENTIONS ON THE
COMMUNITY.
By DR.. S. N. Deinard

N 10y Ii. ~
MMMMMMMMMMMmMMMMMMMwMMMMMMMMMMM
For a week the Twin Cities have
been the cities of Jewish conventions,
the Jerusalem of Jewish pilgrims who
came here as delegates to the confer
ences of the organizations to which
they belonged. We have not been SO
favored for some years. 1t never
rains but it pours. Instead of having
one convention at time we have had
three at one time True the bodies of
men brought together were not very
large But the Importance or value
of thing does not always depend
upon it's SIZE And the conventions
that met here, two of them at least,
were important and interesting in
spite of the relatively small groups
they brought here.
Conventions seem to be Of some i'm
portance to a community, otherwise
there would be no reason why cities,
and the constituent bodies of the larg-
err organizations that meet in conven-
ton, should vie with each other in
getting the conventions. We know
that they do so. Cities have special
organizations and agencies such as the
Civic and Commerce Associations that
make special efforts to bring conven-
tons to their respective communities.
They make open bids for them, they
offer inducements. And at each con-
vention there is considerable rivalry
among the delegates as to the next
place of convention, each delegation
presenting the claims of it's own COM
munity.
Now, of what good are the conven-
tons to the community? Are they
an unmixed good, or is the good
mixed with some evil? There must
be something bad or undesirable about
conventions, too, for we know that
some people are not all satisfied with
them. If vote were taken Of all
citizens, we have no doubt that some
would prefer not to have Them Let
us first see what possible evil there
may be.
A convention in city always means
some extra work for some people, for
those who have charge of making the
necessary arrangements, and looking
after the needs and comforts of the
visitors, and the smooth running of
the business of the convention. When

foolishly, when carried away by their
own impulsive or thoughtless oratory,
attack other causes and other ideals
and institutions in which certain ele
ments of the community are interest
ed, and which are dear to them, thus
tending to unsettle convictions and
to arouse antagonisms. At the con-
vention of Zionists, for instance, we
heard some of the orators directly or
by implication belittle the synagog,
both orthodox and liberal, especially
LIBERAL Certain observations and
lines of argument must have left the
impression on the hearers minds that
there was an irreconcilable difference
and incompatibility between liberal
Judaism and nationalism, and since
nationalism is desirable, the liberal
synagog or perhaps any other kind of
synagog is undesirable or unessential.
We shall in our next issue take up
the question: "Are liberal Judaism
and Jewish nationalism incompatible p
For the present we simply point out
the evil of unguarded and thoughtless
oratory incidental to convention.
Now let us consider the good that
results, and which far outweighs the
evil, in this instance, the good and
gain to the Jewish community that
acted as host. Two of the conven-
tons at least stimulated thought and
zeal in the community. They set us
athinking along Jewish lines, and
aroused some enthusiasm in us for
Jewish activity, for Jewishness in gen
eral. A community needs ust such
a stimulus once in a while, just as the
body of the individual often needs a
stimulant. Of course when the body
is in perfectly good health, and all
the organs function properly, and
there is the necessary degree of vital
activity no stimulant is necessary.
But when the body is not in perfect
health, when there is sluggishness and
inactivity, stimulant is often resort
ed to with good effect.

Zionist conventions did for us. How
many people in this community knew
of the Menorah at all, of that band of
young college Jews and Jewesses
throughout the country who have
pledged themselves to pursue Jewish
culture, to manifest their Jewishness
and their interest in things Jewish on
