TORY FUND

New York-The sum Of $1,000 has
been subscribed by Mr. Samuel Inter
myer to the Irish Victory Fund. In
a letter to Supreme Court Justice
Cohalan, chairman of the Irish Vic

says that he is among tnose who do
not believe that Ireland can work out
Its destiny and achieve the happiness
of its people under existing conditions,
nor that it needs the protection OF the
British Empire or is benefitted by II.
MI. Untermyer also states that he has
contributed the $1,000 inasmuch as the
money and all other funds collected by
the committee are to. be devoted to-

"THILIM or THE MATINEE"

The "American Jewish News" rec
emily put query to its readers re-
garding the observance OF the Sab
bath Must It be observed in the
traditional manner or can one re-
main faithful Jew not being hedged
about with its ceremonials:
4 so.,ng Denver girl, Miss Helen
:.igmond. sent the following answer
which we reprint:
am only young girl of seventeen
years but l wish to give my opinion
Of the two articles on .'Thilim or the
Matineey' that you published in your
paper. 1 judge from the articles that
the people who gave the answers to
your question do not upderstand the
real meaning of Judaism. They do
not know what Judaism stands for
and what is its real foundation.
True Judaism does not show out
wardly in the form of ceremonials:
Judaism comes from the heart and
shows itself in good deeds.
The foundation upon which the Jew
ish religion stands is its beautiful
teachings that have been given to us
by the Prophets and Rabbis long ago
No one has ever improved these and
they will be the best ideals that the
world can have us a standard of liv-
ing in ages to come.
Times change; we cannot keep the
old forms of religion as our fathers
did, hut there is no excuse for not
living up to such teachings:
THAT which is hateful to thee do
not unto thy neighbOr," the olden
l;ule given US by Hillel one Of our
greatest Jewish teachers and great
expounder Of the Law, or, IN the way
Of righteousness is life and in the
pathway thereof there is no DEATH" or.
DO Justice. love mercy and walk
humbly with thy God" Such beauti-
ful teachings as these can be the re-
ligion of anyone in any walk of life.
There is too much competition
everyone is too busy trying to make a
living and cannot keep the traditional
forms of the religion such as. resting
ON the Sabbath. keeping the dietary
laws and praying every day.
The young generation OF the present
and the future generations must not
be troubled with religion that will
I've too great burden to bear. And
they will not be burdened; they may
struggle for while but very soon they
will east it aside and have no relig-
ion.
Therefore as u solution to this prob
lem, the only religion that can be
given to the present and future genera
tions to which they can adhere are

WILL STILL TAX BOOZE
Internal Revenue Department VIII
Sell Stamps After July l.
Doesn't Authorize Sale.

Washington, June 20. = Although
foreseeing no reason to doubt that
war time prohibition will become eff
fective July 1, the internal revenue
bureau, in accordance with an opinion
of the attorney general, will continue
the sale of tax stamps for intoxicat-
ing beverages after that date. Com
missioner Roper said, however. the
sale would be with the distinct un-
derstanding that the manufacture or
sale of prohibited beverages was in no
way authorized.
Commissioner Roper explained that
bureau necessarily would continue to
enforce the tax laws as related to al
coholic beverages until they were re-
pealed by Congress. No provision for
repeal is contained in the legislation
now before Congress for enforcing
war time and constitutional prohibit
ton.
