the Great Synagogue there is pill
Jared academy-the real thing, my
dear, with its youthful philosophers
sitting on the ground while receiv-
ing instruction. I suppose the only
message you ever received from
Persia were the Poems of Hafz, in
some futurist translation. A few
years ago the Jewish community of
London received another kind of
.message-from Hebrew silk-trad-
er in Persia. This is what he
wrote: MY help is from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
Every year in London they send
money to Iran, to every city they
send, but to a little city, Siakal is
its name, in the district of Resin.
All Israel in Siakal, all are poor,
a hundred households there is no
teacher of children, there are no
schools, there is one synagogue.
They are all poor, and under the
rule of Ishmae1ites who are very
cruel. There is much oppression.
In London they do not know of the
village, Siakal is its name, in the
province of Reshd There are
Jews there. For Gods sake! The
Jews of Siakal are all poor! How
does that strike you for an exotic
situation?"
My hostess sat musing. After a
while she said: "There seems to be
a vast difference in point of COM
fort between looking at an exotic
romance and being part of it. I'm
doubted1y the Jews of Siakal would
be better off, poor fellows, if they
were less romantically circum-
stanced. To be unknown in Lon
don-and under the harrow of the

Exactly. But they might be
worse off-like the Samaritans-a
handful of a moribund tribe who
stick to the Torah but reject and
are rejected by Jewish tradition!
They have no communities of the
West to make themselves known
to-because no community West or
East, owns them. It is fortunate
that in a generation or so their
tribu1ations are bound to end by ex-

THE BEST TYPE OF HIGHWAY.

THE BEST TYPE OF HIGHWAY.
The rising popular interest In better
roads brings out much discussion as
to the most suitable type OF paving;
and the discussion reveals much lack
OF information as to the wearing quail
tiles OF the standard types.
Direct light on this point is given by
the recent decision OF the Illinois
Highway Commission to spendeighty-
five million dollars on a type OF road
bed approved by a conference OF the
Northern Mississippi Valley States.
This road consists OF a slab OF con-
crete seven inches thick al the edges
and eight inches thick in the center
for sixteen and eighteen foot widths.
Over country road system OF this
type. which will comprise five per
cent of the entire Illinois highway sys-
TEN. approximately sixty per cent OF
the highway traffic of the State will be
hauled
While standard types other than con-
crete were favorably considered by the
Illinois Commission. II IL interesting
