IN the League at all. However, as so
often happens the belated correction
was never published in the press, as
press associations do not like to con-
cede that they ever err. Meantime.
however, interesting letters on the
subject of the cablegram, promptly
appeared in the New York Times. One
written denounced the alleged nation
alistlc demand for Jewish representa-
ton and its folly, and pointed out that
other religious bodies had no repre-
sentation as such in the League, and
that 1t was merely league of sover-
eign States, so that Jews were not en-
titled to representation as such. but
were adequately represented by the
delegates Of the various countries NJ
winch they were citizens. Incidental
~, 1t was pointed out, that the Paris
committee in question really did not
contain any authorized representative
es OF American Jewry at all land that
American Jewry had not favored such
representation because (even il the
American Jewish Congress Committee
ever had a right to speak for Ameri-
can Jewry as whole, which was de-
niedD, its authority did not continue
after it had been legally dissolved.
and that the rump assembly that con.
tinued was not representative the
members having been elected to serve
merely till report was rendered on the
peace treaties negotiated, and its NOR.
al influence as representing American
Jewry in general practically ceasing.
when men like Louis Marshall. Jacob
II. Schiff and Simon Wolf refused TO
identify themselves with the new
rump body.
Another correspondent, In reply.
addressed himself chiefly to the ques.
ton of the alleged representative
character Of the newly reconstructed
American Jewish Congress Commit.
tee and wisely refrained from argu.
ing pro or con on the merits Of the
alleged proposal for representation Of
the Jews as such in the League.
An interesting sequel-or rather
prelude, chronically considered-has
now come to light concerning such al.
legged plans for representation OF
Jews as such on the League Of Ma
tons. 1t is furnished by the leading
continental Jewish paper, the "Allege.
meine Zeitung des Judentums," the
issue Of which is at length reaching
this country again. On February 6,
1920, il published some very interest
ing and important letters received on
this very question by a Jewish journ.

 They cannot stop to explain What every plantation of human beings is in need of, if it is to flourish. is a group of men who love others better than they love their own ease and quiet and spend themselves in selfless endeavor. No man gets the name of civic patriot by doing things simply for himself. He must serve the public interest in the general good,
 not his own pocket; while the range of his charity may cover the whole world

The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-12-03

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. 6r1HERE is something the matter
 with the man who doesn't care for
 the place he lives in; who doesn't come back to it with some degree of rap ture and relief The world citizen who boasts that all places are alike to him: that any place where he hangs his hat fs homo, misses one of tho first and strong est incentives to decency and duty-which is the desire to win the general esteem and good opinion of the community in which one dwells. No reward in money compares in value with the golden treas ure Of a good repute. If man cheats and lies and steals and bears false wit ness. he may build up a great fortuIse and still be plagued at night with the knowledge that those about him hold . low opinion of his worth and works Dr. Eliot of Harvard has told us that It is the favorable opinion of mans home town that is worth earning and retaining. One of the neighbors might be wrong; but if we take the summation of what many are saying. we probably shall arrive at a just estimate.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

It doesn't do a man much good to be on his mettle if he has too much brass in his makeup.
 Many man figures that he would be a whole lot better off if he had drawn a blank in the matrimonial lot tery.
 After man passes 50 he begins to pay little attention to the number of great men who became famous at 60. Some have to run into debt. And others appear to have a walk-over when they are headed that way.
 As a rule, a man has to be married for year or so before he begins to think seriously about marriage.
 What has become of the o. f. girl who could tell you what size thimble she wears? Ns. She isn't a very pleasant animal to have to listen to. But it is well to re- member that when a gossip is gossiping with you, she isn't gossiping about you. When a man goes hunting for a wife the first thing he bags is his trousers at the knees.
 Wouldn't it be great if it was as easy to increase your income as 1t is to live up to it?
 You may have noticed that when a girl is small enough to wear her skirts above her knees she doesn't need $10 silk stockings to hide her legs. The man who will pay no attention to an opportunity to secure $2,500 au- tomobile for $500 will get highly ex- cited If he hears of an opportunity to cure s15o worth of whisky for $500.

 That seems to be the proper, regular, inevitable attitude to take about Christmas-a kind of hail-and farewell tone-as if one would say. Let us have one more jolly good time, it may be the last.'' In that fruitful little book Guesses at Truth, written in 1927, find this passage: Tt was practice worthy of our ancestors to fill their houses at Christmas time with their relations and friends; that when nature was frozen and dreary out of doors, some thing might be found within doors to keep the pulses of their hearts in prop CT notion The custom. however, is only appropriate among people who happen to have hearts.

From the Providence Journal.
 TIT is announced that among the per
 III tinent questions bearing on govern = ment waste which the independent liberals intend to put to the Lloyd George ministry, at the earliest convenient op- portunity, is one relating to the cigars smoked by tho British delegates to the peace conference and their friends This "glaring item,' as one shocked liberal terms it, amounts to more than s3,0o sterling 900 cigars at a shilling apiece.
 The ministry has been under attack ire quently, of course. since the peace treaty was signed, because of the lavish ex- penditure at Paris It has been chiv- alrous on its part that not in one in stance has it suggested in defense that . vast sum might have been saved had not tho deliberations been protracted by the American peace delegation. The ministry. indeed. has disdained defend- ing itself It's attitude was well illus trated on one occasion, when the Com-

contracts with leading northern hotels for every pound of the product of their orchards at stated fancy price year in and year out.
 No apple has a finer flavor than those grown in central and northern Alabama. Very few of them find a market, because few of the trees are sprayed and little of the fruit is uni form and without blemish, while Cali fornia and Oregon apples of less flavor but more beauty of skin travel 5000 miles and monopolize our fruit stands. When the Alabama orchard bears uniform fruit and the trees are regularly sprayed, we will see these apples on our fruit stands and apple orchards will sell for $1 ,000 an acre, as they do in Colorado.
 No land is more suitable for fig culture than large part of Alabama, and not many fruits are more suscepti- ble of conversion into a marketable product in various forms, yet the Ala bama fig is not known commercially.
 With seasons as long as they are in the south and the endless variety of crops that can be produced at cost under that of other sections, the south has only itself to blame if it's farms are not profitable.
