What Does a Boy Read?

High Benton, "a book that set out
to picture the life Of boy entering
high school without ambition or pur-
pose. In this book Mr.. Heyliger told
the story Of education and business,
and showed how one is bound up in
the other. Thousands Of older boys
wrote to him and told him that the
experiences Of the hero, Benton, wers
similar to theirs, and that the book
had changed all their ideas concern
ing school. Hundreds of boys, at
work, wrote to him that ne had IN
fiuenced them to give up their jobs
snd go back TO school to complete
their education.
Another book, High Benton,
Worker, which will he published
next spring, deals with the sdven-
lures of twenty-year-Old boy who
comes to an American industrial city
and Is plunged into the whirlpool Of
present labor unrest, He meets the
radical, the agitator, the great body
OF workmen, the owners Of the
plants, and he sees strike and stress

The boy has gone ahead;
the writer has remained in the fog

typed story Of school, or adventure,
or sport.
THE modern boy is a skilled me

the automobile. He builds model

Pell to pay off the mortgage and
take an option on the place or let
Hardy foreclose at o'clock. He
decides to let them bid for the privi-
lege, and tells them he will show
them the oil. They bid spiritedly,
but when they have passed the $780,
600 mark he divulges that he was
only trying to find out whether they
were rich enough to justify his car
rying them into Mexico and holding
them for ransom. He prepares to
start, saying to Lucia:
Life as been unkind to you. Too
long ave you been marry to re tired
business man. You shall come wiz
me to re land Of purple mountains,
where l will love you myself per-
sonal."
Gilbert, who had been absent, is
now brought in prisoner, and Lo-
PEI, with shouts of JOY, greets him
as the man who once saved his life.
Lopez explains his sudden rise as a
bandit and learns that Gilbert can't
pay the mortgage because he en-
listed in the American army and
went to France, his ranch SUFFERING
accordingly. Uncle Henry grows
garrulous again and reveals that
Gilbert and Lucia are in love with
each other. Both deny It. but Lopez
says it is true:
Telltale Eyes
Because it is in her eyes-and
yours. shall miss her. She Is very
beautiful. However. what Is one
woman between friends?"
He promises Gilbert he shall have
Lucia, and when Gilbert says that
that is impossible because Lucia Is
married Lopez assures him that is
nothing to get excited about, Gil

pez turns to Lucia.

The third act opens on a daxed
company Of Americans and a
pleased, complacent bandit. Ono of
the outlaws saunters in to say that
the rangers are coming, and that
they had better be going. Lopez
calmly prepares to depart. Gilbert

Peace? There will be wars when your

THE NEED OF ORGANIZATION

Address Delivered May z, 1920 at the
Public Meeting During Convention
Of Grand Lodge of District No. Z,
!. 0. B. B., Birmingham, Ala.
Lucius L. Sol0m0ns.
In these days of international poll
!, tics and policies, the status of each ra-
cial element in the worlds population
and its relationship to the entire mass
have become engrossing topics Of cur
rent thought. We of the Historic
family Of Israel find that our present
eccentric situation in the Worlds af-
fairs with its somewhat problematic
future is not alone Of grave concern to
ourselves-but Of more curious inter-
est to non-Jews than ever before in
our earthly pilgrimage.
retrospective contemplation reveals
at this time much that is hopeful; yet
in things potentially vital there looms
up not little Of both fear and danger.
We can neither conceal it from the
world nor deny it to our own con-
seriousness that as a composite aggre-
cation Of people we are uncompromis-
ingly headed three divergent ways.
One division Of leadership (too
strongly representative to be denomi-
mated faction) believes that Pales-
tine is "the only way out" and looks
either Immediately or ultimately to a
Jewish State separate body polite,
an independent self-ruled Fatherland
or Grandfatherland as the panacea for
all the ills with which the the Jewish
world is at present afflicted.
A second division likewise too
largely composed Of intellectuals to be
underrated) would seek to establish
in every land what is no less than an
lmperium in Imperio. These bodies
call themselves Jewish Nationals and
demand group or minority rights, So
called in all countries, with their own
language, schools, communal systems,
local laws and racial as distinguished
from religious customs; thus retrac-
ing the denials of centuries and sub
stituting a plea Of guilty TO the age
worn charge that we are a Nation
within a Nation.
The third element is the conserva-
tive force in Jewry, the Zionist
anti-Nationalist class, who believe
that dispersion Of Israel over the face
Of the wide earth IL not in Literary full
fillment Of Divine Mission is at least
In consonance with the law Of natural
selection and human destiny; and this
leadership cries out passionately to
the Christian World for simple justice;
demanding that our loyal segment Of
population in every land be protected
in common with all other races and
creeds against discrimination and dis
ability.
These grave controversial themes
have been worked and overworked,
have been played and over-played dur
ing the stormy and stressful five years
Of world-war; and with variations and
ramified experimentation, they have
persisted during the slow reconstruc-
tive period much to the detriment, It
Is feared, rather than the betterment
Of the Jewish cause. None the less,
they must still be faced faced with
courage and candor-for they cannot
be ignored or undervalued.

events with optomistic vision. Has
