Apple Crop Is Larger.

The United States commercial ap-
pie crop for 1918 will exceed the 1917
production by approximately o per
cent. according to the November fore

United States department Of agricul-
ture. Production for this year Is now
estimated at 25,O0S.000 barrels, with

Is called to the fact that the barreled
and bulk apple production is estimat-
ed at 81 per cent increase over last
year. while the 1918 boxed apple crop

KEPT Their NATIONAL LIFE


At the opening Of the nineteenth
century Bessarabla was still under the
domination Of the MoIdavian crown.
but in 1912 Russia proposed to annex
the whole Of MoIdavia as the price Of
her victories against the Turks. Ma
poleon, however, who was then pre-
pairing his great campaign against the
Russians, urged the Turks not to con
clude peace on that basis and doubt
less they would have continued to re-
sist the Russians had IL not been that
Moruzzi. the dragoman Of the Porte,
sold Napoleon's secret to the Russians.
who then FASTENED to sign the peace.
contenting themselves with Bess-
arabia as the spells of war. Thus the
Roumanlans of Bessarabia were sew
cred from their kinsmen Of the two
Donubian principalities and the in
justice was only partially repaired In
the Crimean war In 1856, when the
southern districts of Cahul, Ismail
and Bolgard were restored to Rou-
mania. But at the Berlin congress
(1S7S) Bismarck and Andrassy, In
their anxiety to prevent rapproche-
ment between Russia and Roumania,
prompted the Russian government to
lay hands upon Bessarabia once more.
After this annexation the CONNER
cial Importance of BessarabIa waned
and her territory became an asylum
for all kinds of political adventures,
strange religious sects and the ragtag
and bobtail of all east European ma
tionalities. But beneath this frothy
cosmopolitan surface the main current
of Bessarabian life remained true, and
never lost its essential Roumanian
character, and the "Moldavians." as
they call themselves, have chung
tenaciously to their Roumanian nation
ality and have never forsaken the Rou-
manian language.

Vivid Beach Clothes

THE beaches are gay for the
4 first time in three years. Last
year seaside resorts were
dreary places indeed, with all of
our younger men on the battlefelds
of Europe or at training camps in
America.
There are people who say that
women choose their clothes for
other women's approval rather than
to please the men of their families.
One need only remember the drab-
ness of our beach clothing last sum-
mer and then visit the bathing suit
department of any smart shop
along Fifth Avenue to prove that
this statement is in no wise true.

All Sorts of Fabrics
Stroll on the Beach

rNNHERE are new materials as we'll
as colors in beach clothes.
Fabrics that we have thought suit
able only for formal costumes do
not hesitate this year to make their
appearance in informal and alb
breviated bathing dresses. Things
have been done to these fabrics
artists have camout1aged them, and
velvets, cashmeres and silks have
been clipped into something" and
by curious processes completely
changed in appearance.
Art is flourishing anew to pro-
vide ornamentation for these mate
rails. Real art is expressed in the
wonderful way in which the colors
are combined, so there is abso-
lutely no excuse now for any
woman walking on the beach or
diving into the cool surf inartisti-

Has Become Frivolous

REAL old gold satin, shade not
often seen nowadays, is used
for a suit that is ornamented with
batik in sulphur color. Strings
and bows Of old blue satin are used
to give it unusual touches.
There always will be black taffeta
bathing suits, but even these have
become frivolous in their trim
mlngs. Now they have little
scraggy ruffles made by frayine

A Beautiful Green
Is Sent by China

/ DESIGNERS of beach clothes
have turned to the dress Of
many countries for inspiration.
From China comes the idea of the
dragon design pressed in dull
green on a bathing suit of olive
colored velvet that has been treated
in a way which makes the cloth look
about a hundred years old. This
treatment produces the beautiful
green hitherto seen only in fabrics
mellowed by age.
There are velvets, satins, fou-
lards, cashmeres, fibre silks, tri-
colettes, moires and, of course, the
conventional taffetas and JERSEYS,
either wool or silk. There is one
suit for which n tricolette with a
silk and wool stripe woven in the
fabric was especially imported.

bathing suits, domestic cashmere

Beach Capes That
Are Gay and Warm

FASHION has been busy, too,
with beach capes. Very few of
this years capes are waterproof,
although there are some of flame
colored rubber, like the one
sketched at the lower left of the
page, which is made almost like a
dress and held by sash of black
rubber. 1t has design appliqued
in black. Antique cashmere Of old
yellow, trimmed with coral bands
done in yellow batik, makes the
cape at the right, which is cut on
the lines of an artists smock.
Other beach capes are of heavy
wool fabrics to give some warmth.
In fact they may be used for auto

wear where loose warm wrap is
needed. To-day's sketch shows one

head covering to accompany the
bathing suit. These are, of course.
worn over tight rubber cap. And
there are brimmed hats of rubber

caps.

this spring, has invaded the realm

suit in our sport wardrobe; now it
is as important to have different
dresses for the beach as anywhere
else. The younger set, in fact, all
women who really love the exercise
of swimming, are including among
their beach clothes one-piece
jersey swimming suit. These
straight line, comfortable suits are
made very much like q mans bath
ing suit, but a picturesque touch is
given by finishing them at the neck
like a midshipman's blouse and
stripping the collars and lacing the
neck with contrasting colors.
We are casting aside the false
modesty which has made us hamper
ourselves with stockings when
swimming. Now it is considered
quite smart as we'll as sensible and
comfortable to battle stockingless.

another; nor are the Jews of one
city, on the average, any different
from the Jews of other cities.
AS to the number of Jews who
have so far joined the Christian
Science church, there is really no
cause for alarm on our part. Nor
is there any likelihood that the new
cult will ever make any serious in
roads in Jewry.
Other churches and other cults
have tried the conversion of Jews
before; have been trying it for the
last twenty-one hundred years, be-
ginning with He1lenism. They have
used more powerful means than
Christian Science commands. They
have used all possible terrors to
frighten the Jew into apostasy, and
all possible Establishments to tempt
him; they came with the sword in
one hand, and with honors, emolu-
ments, and other tempting gifts in
the other; they have often succeeded
in tearing away some Jewish souls
from their ancestral faith, sometimes
many souls. Yet Israel has survived
all such dangers.
At the present time, too, many a
Jew is going astray from his fold;
and it is not only the Christian Sci
ence church that attracts him. In
Europe. especially in Germany, Aus
tria, and Russia, it is the dominant
church of each country that has won
Jewish converts by the hundreds
and thousands; for to enter certain
coveted spheres of worldly ambition
they must pass through the portals
of the church.
1t is different, however, in this
country. No economic or social
pressure is brought to bear upon
the lew to barter his faith away.
Those who apostatize do so from
ignorance, or stupidity, or climb
ing tendency characteristic Of snobs,
or, in the case Of certain poor, shift
less, ne'er-do-well fellows, from a
desire to make an easy living as mis-
sionaries to the Jews.
The Christian Science figures in
regard to Jewish converts are TN
doubtedly exaggerated. But some
Jewish people have been converted
to the new faith. and have severed
their relations with their former CO.
religionists. They in turn set the
ax,,,,D1e To others for each of them

something to it. Let us give it a

trial.
Still more misleading and per-
nicious is the example of a convert
who is rightly or wrongly looked
upon as person of some education
or superior mentality. If such a
bright light finds Christian Science
in accord with reason and truth,
some say, then it is surely all right.
The reverse argument does not seem
to suggest itself to them, namely,
that since such one has joined such
a church, and subscribes to it's doc
trines, his cannot be such a clear
and bright intellect after all; or, if
it is, he may be prompted by some
other motive than that of seeking
religious truth.
The unthinking and unwary Jew
is lured to the Christian Science cult
by arguments that | shall discuss at
greater length further on, but which
I touch upon here to show that there
is some danger if the matter is neg
lected by us. The neophyte is told
that he can be a Jew and Christian
Scientist at the same time. And he
honestly and foolishly believes it.
That is not fair dealing on the part
of Christian Science. But what will
not jealous religionists do to make
converts?
It is pointed out to him that Jew
does not have to sacrifice any of his
former convictions when joining the
church, that he does not really be-
come a Christian in the old sense OF
the word, for he does not have to be-
1ieve in Jesus, or the Trinity, accord
ing to the usual Christian interpre-
tation of those dogmas.
And so a Jew who would not
think of joining any other Christian
church has no hesitancy in becoming
a Christian Scientist. Hence the
danger of the spread of the new cult
among our people, unless an effort
is made by us to counteract such
propaganda.
When and Why Jew Turns to
Christian Science.
Like most people who have be-
come devotees of the new faith, the
lew is first attracted to it because OF
it's pretended healing powers. He is
ailing. He has consulted regular
physician, who is prescribing this,
that, or the other thing, and is sub
iecting him to one or another treat

himself only. The great problems
and movements of the present age
in all fields of endeavor, scientific,
philosophical, social and philan-
thropic, do not seem to concern
them. 1t is the natural effect OF
their peculiar doctrines, as will ap-
pear further on in these pages.
Modern progress in all depart
ments of life is the result of the
growing altruistic and humanitarian
or socializing tendencies of the civil
lied world, the growing conscious
ness that society as whole with all
it's arrangements and institutions,
with all it's present EMBELLISHMENTS,
requires our attention as much as,
if not more than, the individual with
his little troubles The extreme in
dividualism of the Christian Scien-
fist, therefore, is a discordant ele-
ment in the modern world, and can
not be considered a praiseworthy
trait. But aside from that, Christian
Scientists are good people and kind
neighbors, and we should cultivate
their friendship. 1t is, therefore.
both ungracious and unpleasant,
above all for the Jew, to criticize
their doctrines.
The reason for doing it, and for
writing this essay, is that Jews, too,
are being attracted to this new faith,
and, as result, are lost to us. These
OBJECTIONS loyal Jews cannot con-
template with comp1acency and in
difference. They should not occur.
1t is for such misguided Jews and
their friends that this essay is writ
ten, in the hope that it may appeal
to their common-sense, their reason.
and their Jewish loyalty. Consider
ing the efforts other religious bodies
are making to win converts, to grow
and to expand, we surely ought to
put forth some effort to keep our
own within the fold
The Number of Jewish Conversions
to Christian Science.
According to Christian Scientists
the number of Jewish people who
have been converted to their cult is
very large. Their figures, however,
must be greatly exaggerated. Judg-
ing by the number of converts in
smaller communities with which |
am acquainted, the number cannot
be- so very large, if the same pro-
