purpose Of affecting lasting organ
ization, and build synagogue where
services should be held at least on
every Sabbath.
On the suggestion of Mr.. s. L.
Meyer, one Of the three still living
charter members, it was decided to
npame the new congregation "Shaar-
18th Israel" which means "The REM
nant Of Israel" and is taken from
the Prophet Zephania III:13, where
he says: 1.-THE remnant of Israel
shall not do iniquity."
When the number of those enthus-
isastic workers reached twenty, an
application was made, on April End,
1885, to ]. W. Banned, the then Sec
Dietary Of State, for the State Of
Texas, for charter. The petitioners
respectfully asked "that they be
granted charter for the purpose of
establishing a Church (meaning syn
agogue), and the maintenance of
private cemetery"
OF the following list Of names in
scribed on the Charter, only three,
Mr.. M. Wasserman, Mr.. S. L. Meyer

up our three years work and present
to your worthy body our experiences
and the results Of cooperative effort.
The Stewardship and service of our
various Officers and Committees.
Chair Ladies, have been faithful and
encouraging thus giving the member
ship attentive, tacit Acknowledgement
OF their interest in the organization
as well as their growing desire to
promulgate the spirit and tenets of
Judaism.
Since the last triennial report our
membership, which then numbered
275, has increased to S75, all agreed to
keep their organization up to the
standard. We retain our recognition
in Clubdom, affiliate with all worthy
enterprises and have representation
on Boards in the Civic and Commun-
al work Of our city. A new departure,
that Of making the superintendent Of
the Jewish Federated Charities, our
Chair Lady Of the Social Welfare Sec
ton, brings to US philanthropic cases,
as well as Little Sisters, whereby this
most essential work may be success.

need Of such service during this pros
porous past war season has been rath-
er negible, yet our social workers
keep US in touch with the needy, hold
ing active the spirit Of humanity and
service.
With the advent Of two new Rabbis
in our community, with their cooper.
alton and spiritual leadership, a re-
vival Of religious fervor is vouchsafed.
Interests in Bible Study, Sabbath at
tendance and religious schools, evil
dence the willingness to establish
firmly the beauties and comfort Of
our faith.
Our Sewing Department, under very
able management, sent more than one
hundred garments to suffering core
ligionists overseas. This department
has been no expense to the Council, as
all material was furnished by our
Jewish merchants. Our local charities
issued very few calls and we eongrat-
ulate ourselves that the members Of
our Jewish Community are bidding
fair to help themselves, hence the
sending abroad Of the work accomp-
lished by the Sewing Committee.
The Free Clinic and Free Baths, es-
tablished at one Of our schools in a
very poor district, whose Mothers
Club, is the Council Of Jewish Women,
is one Of our cherished philanthropies.
The maintenance, as well as the furn-
ishings, were given by the Dallas Sec
ton. II is now in its third year and
has enlarged its scope Of usefulness.

vice and personal attention. Twenty
nationalities are represented in this
district, all served through the benev-

MANUFACTURERS WANT
PROPOSED WATERWAY
THROUGH GREAT LAKES
t,y Associated PresS)

CHICAGO, Oct 3O.-Illinois manu-
facturers want the ST. Lawrence wa
terway, bringing ocean carriers from
all parts of the world to the ports OF
Lake Michigan and the other great
inland seas of the central states, Col
W. n. Pelouze, president of the Illinois
Manufacturers association, told the In
ternational Joint Commission here. to-
day. "They need this waterway In
their businesa," he said "They rec
ognize the need of the waterway not
only for improvement in transporta-
ton facilities for manufacturing enter
prizes but for the relief that it will
give to our farming community, our
merchants, our miners and last but
rot least, our railroads" Col. Pelouze
continued.
They see the need Of this waterway
for the expansion of foreign trade OF
the Mississippi valley, which extends
from Canada on the north to the CUR
of Mexico on the south and AS far east
and west as the mountain ranges. This
region is the greatest productive en-
pire in the world Its need for trans
portation is great and will become ac-
ce-tuated each year as the demand
for Mississippi valley products from
the world increases.
Waterway Needed.
I'VE need this waterway to keep our
factories at capacity operation, to keep
our millions of ambitious workmen EN-
ployed, to insure us against the con-
slant menace of coal famines, due to
the insufficient rail transportation.
There are 5000 manufac turing es-
tablishments in Illinois, according to
directory now being compiled by the
Illinois Manufacturers association.
These industrial enterprises manufac-
ture in round numbers something like
$4,000 100000 worth of manufactured
products a year. including the immense
output Of the meat packing establish
ments. the agricultural implement
manufacturers and other fabricators,
of machinery and foundry products,
food products of every sort, leather,
lumber and timber products, and
score of others each of which repre-
sents an annual valuation Of many
millions,
"AIl of these enterprises, situated in
Illinois, but national in their scope are
irresi5tibly urging this essential con
nection Of the central states with the
high seas. 1t is not an academic prop
osition with it. 1t is a necessity"

Government Commanders
Private Rooms in WARSAW

WARSAW, Oct. 30.-All rooms In
private dwellings have been COM
mandeered by the government to meet
the housing situation in this city.
This action was taken because of the
approach of cold weather and the seri-
Gus shortage of living accommoda-
tions in Warsaw. Only three rooms
will be allowed for, family with chill
dren, regardless of the wealth or So
cial position of the tenant.
Warsaw has doubled in population
since the war and further complica-
tions were caused by recent arrival of
thousands of Bolshevik prisoners who
have not been disposed of by the
peace terms.
Food distribution will be largely in
the hands of the American relief ad-
ministration this winter as in the past.
Hoover food drafts, which pour into
the country with every mail, are saw
ing thousands from death by starva-
ton.
