NEW YORK, Dec. 1j-Jews through out the United States have over subscribed the S10.00O.0O0 fund for war relief and welfare work among their race, it was announced here tonight. New York has contributed more than half of this amount. The total does not include S1,250,000 pledged by Jew ish labor to be collected on Washing tons birthday.
 The 1917 fund now having been as- sured, another campaign to raise $oO' 000,000 during 1918 was announced tonight by Nathan Straus.
 A deficit of S41,4 in New York S S5,000, 900 campaign which closed to- night was subscribed by Jacob Schiff, chairman of the committee when 1t was announced that total contributions l were S4,95S,579. When he realized that the campaign had fallen short of it's mark, MT. Schiff said
 T will make up the aalance to carry us over the top
 The banker previously had contrib | uted S200,000.
 After the cheering occaSloned by | the Schiff announcement had subsided, | additional subscriptions varying from | $1, 900 to a few dollars were announced, | so that the fund was over subscribed.
 'Fifty-two years ago when 1 came to this country" AIr. Schiff said T | do not believe the entire wealth of the combined Jewry of America was $5,OOO,OOO. See how we have grown. See how unity and strength have brought us upward. This could never have been accomplished if we had not stood as a unit.
 But it is more than money l am thinking of" he added. This cam paign has brought the Jew and his | Gentle neighbor into a closer under standing of one another. It has made the Gentle know the Jew and it has made the Jew know the Gentle, and we will be better able to march onward together in the progress of humanity

AMERICAN INDUSTRY

Republican A. p. LeasedWireI


 NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-American in- dustry has never been "as highly eff cicut or more intelligently co-ordin- atcd' in the history of the nation than at the present time in the efforts to win the war, Joseph D. Davies, commis- sloner of corporations and member of the federal trade commission. declared here tonight at a meeting of the Academy of Political Science.
 Greater coordination and effective hess were predicted by the speaker. He asserted this was in sight, and added:
 "The ablest leaders of labor and the greatest business men of the nation are working with government agents Co that end.
 The problems of price fixing, gov crumeut participation in industry and other activities and the problems of tIe future which they will entail, are being accepted and dealt with to the one end of winning the war. An ex- tension of power in the exercise of priority is probable for price fixing without control over distribution is in- effective A still greater participa- rou of the government itself in in du7try may be necessary"
 V. Everit Macy, chairman of the snipbuilding labor adjustment board, another speaker, asserted that the ex- rerieuce of that board shows that the imperative need for the creation of similar boards so that there may be established a government policy cov- orius the industry of the country for the period of the war.
 Unless this is done" he said, there can be no continuous and efficient production. Until the government in Cooperation with organized labor agree upon fundamental principles there will continue to be strikes and loCkouts stealing of men not only from plant to plant but from industry tc industry and a constant rapid increase in wages, resulting in inefficient pro- auction and demoralization of indus try"

KEEP OUTLETS OPEN

All radiators, says a writer in the current issue of American Motorist, have an overflow arrangement to ac- commodate the natural expansion of the water upon being heated during the operation of the motor: ire quently they are also equipped with blow holes to allow the escape of steam.
 If, through tho accumulation of sediment or dirt. these outlets be- come clogged and don't fulfill their functions, the result is that the in ternal pressure generated will fol- low the line of least resistance and force q leak at a weak point where the radiator is weakest. Therefore it is absolutely essential that these outlets be open at all times.

Snakes are a valuable asset and there should be a campaign against killing them. writes Gayne T. h' Norton in a current issue ot the American Forestry Magazine.
