TIMES READERS
OFFER PLANS TO
CUT LIVING COST

A large number of letters have
been received by The Times offering
various means OF meeting the high
cost Of living. Here ia what one
woman writes:
@By careful buying and preparation
Of food can keep my grocer bills to
q figure only a little larger than five
years ago. buy things which !
know will keep us in the best physi-
cal cpndition, such as fresh milk. but
ter meat, and vegetables.
taI never buy vegetables in large
quantities, with the exception Of po-
tatoes or for canning purposes.
HOUSEWIFE"
Another writer urges that staple
foods be bought in large enough
quantities to obtain wholesale prices.
Another suggests that housewives
watch the newspapers and take ad-
vantage Of sales on particular
articles.
A woman from fashionable north
west Washington says that the
garbage pail is part Of the cause Of
our troubles. She says:
TOO many women have not yet
learned to use the left-overs. I find
that a roast of lamb makes good
croauettes the next day, and that
odds and ends Of fresh vegetables
may be used to advantage in vine
garette sauce
whenever we have steak I grind
ND the tough portions aRd mix them
with cornmeal to fry for break
fast the next day. With corn syrup
this makes a delectable DISH"
The Times will be glad to hear
from any Of its readers in regard to
plans to reduce the high cost OF
living.

the rights of small nations.

BACK TO VAUDEVILLE.

They say that certain congress
man from San Francisco is plan
ming to return to vaudeville. That's
where he really belongs. I am
told that some of his former col
leagues were rather glad when he
left their profession. They felt it
was becoming more respectable.
But he will have to go back to it.
His constituency is repudiating him.
He went abroad speaking in the
name of ''the Jews of America" He
carried with him a few hundred
signatures of unknown persons and
a few known persons who had long
forgotten what it is to be Jew.
Now, more than fifteen hundred
Jews in San Francisco, among
them well-known Jewish leaders,
have issued a protest against this
man who is adding to the gayety OF
the nations. They repudiate him.
They say he does not represent
them either as Jew or as an Amer
lean. lust as some of the vaudeville
bills on which he appeared mis-
represented the Jews, SO he is mis-
representing them now.
Among the men who signed the
protest are leaders like Rabbi Mar
tin A Mayer. These men have
right to speak in the name OF the
Jewish people. They are affiliated
with Jewish interests. Methlnks

fight against the rebirth of the

THE "HISTORIC AND
MEMORABLE CONFERENCE"

The Central Conference of Re-
form Rabbis recently held at Gin
cinnati was supposed to have been
"historic and memorable. If so,
we must expect that the proceed
ings of the conference had vital
influence upon Jewry in general.
Comparing the doings Of this confer
ence with those that preceded it,
one is compelled to inquire wherein
was this conference any more CHS
toric" than previous conferences,
wherein was it more memorable?
The fact that this meeting was a
most remarkable memorial to the
founder of American Reform does
not make it historic and memorable.
A conference that is merely an ex-
tended memorial celebration, that
merely is famous for dearth Of adj
dresses and speeches can never hope
to go down in the annals of Amer
lean Jewish History as historic and
memorable To be such it must
be able to point to notable achieve
ments in behalf of world Jewry.
This "historic" conference merely
followed the path outlined for it
by the preceding conferences. 1t
utterly failed now as ever to voice
the hopes of world Jewry; it failed
to rebuke and chastise those in it's
midst who, though a minority,
banded together to Illustrate the
earnest expectations of bleeding
European Jewry. It failed to recog-
nize Israe1's position as a nation,
still clinging to the outworn and
obsolete ideas of it's founders.
Though the president of the confer
ence alluded to the revival of Pales
tine in his opening address not even
a resolution was passed favor
ing such step. When we continu-
ally read that legislatures, non-J ews

Unrest in Observation-Disclosures,
Moslens, Fear Jewish Domination
of Holy Lands" you may rest
assured that it is largely piece OF
fiction pure and simple. 1t is the
kind of newspaper stuff that we call
INSPIRED" It is evidently in some
body's interest to attack Zionism
on such grounds, and the thing is
done. The truth of the matter is
that all decent and right minded
Moslems, and Christians, in, as well
as out of Palestine, have long since
recognized the Jews claim on that
country, and fully realize that they
have nothing to fear from, nothing
to lose and everything to gain by
a large influx of Jews into Palestine,
and the development of the country
by them.
That the Tribune should lend
itself to the conveying of such mis-
information to the public, and to
such an indirect attack on world
wide Jewish movement and aspira-
ton is quite in line with the Trib-
une's general attitude toward
Jews. We can no more account
for the Tribune's hostility to the
Jews than we can account for Ger
man, or Austrian, or Russian anti
Semitism. But the fact is that the
Tribune does not love us, as we
have pointed out on some former
occasions.
Here is a still better example of
it's animus There seems to have
been some trouble in Minneapolis
between an association of junk
pedd1ers and the junk-dealers. Here
is how the Minneapolis Journal re-
ported the matter:
"War Over Between Peddlers,
Dealers in Junk, Only to May 1.
An armistice between junk deal
ers and junk peddlers will prevent
an outbreak until May /, it was said
at the mayors office, following the
complaint made to Mayor J. F..
Meyers by Miss M. Furst, daughter
of A. Furst, junk dealer, living at
013 Fifth st. N.
The truce follows arguments over
fees paid by dealers to an associa-
ton of peddlers, Miss Furst told
the mayor. The association, ac-
cording to the story, received fee
of 500 from each dealer, for plac-
ing him on the accredited list. Mem
