World Movement is seeking an answer
to that question.
The church has found one o, II,
difficulties in shifting population.
only where the residence of the in

church be built UP on lasting basis.

THE LEGISLATIVE ELECTION IN
FRANCE.

The legislative elections in France,
from the Jewish point of view, have
been very satisfactory. No party
brought up the Jewish question. OF
the seven Jewish deputies, who were
in the Chamber which is soon to re-
tire, four met defeat with their party
because of slight superiority of the
republicans in their districts. These
were Hesse (Charente Inferieure),
Masse (Herault) formerly Under-Sec-
retray of State for Military Justice,
Camille Picart (Vosges), and LaZare
WELLER (Charente). The three re-
elected were EdOuard Ignace, Under
Secretary of State for Military JUS
tice, (Paris) republican; Bokan-
owski (Paris) a republican; and L. L.
Klotz (Somme), Minister of Finance,
of the same party. Of the new can
didates elected two were from Paris:
Leon Blum, Master of Petitions in the
Council of State, Socialist; and
Erlich: an attorney, Republican. Seven
were from the provinces: From the
Aisne, Pribourg, teacher, Repub-
lican: from the Aubc, Israel, jour-
nalist. a Republican; from the Cir
onde Mandel. Chief secretary to Pre-
inier Clemenceau, II Republican from

THE TEMPLE SOCIETY. OF GAL
WESTON, TEN, HAS FUNCTION
ED FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS.

The Temple Society, an adjunct OF
Congregation B,nai Israel, of Calves
ton, Texas, has exerted a cultural In
fluence in the community for over
thirty years. 1t was inaugurated In
1856 by Leo N. Levi, at that time
president of the congregation. Later
the leadership was taken by Rabbi
Henry Cohen. Speaker of prominence
have at times addressed the society,
hut the work is done usually by its
members.
The Introductory remarks and
horoscope of the work is always Civ
en- by Dr.. Cohen at the initial meet
ing of the society. To him is due all
commentator for the interest mani
tested by participants and audience. 1t
is he who excites their enthusiasm; 1t
is he who jogs them for nonattendance
at meetings; it is he WIN stimulates
them to the better things in life. The
Temple Society is surely lasting tes-
timonial of the efforts that have been
expended by him in behalf of the Jew
ish citizens of Galveston.
There are other literary organiza-
tions in Galveston which have given
much to the community. but possibly
none which has covered such broad
field of endeavor and none which has
lasted without losing its continuity
thru the downward trend Of time.
Officers Of the society include: Mrs.
Mella WE'LL, president; G. II. Arons-
field, vice president; Miss Bertha Him

EGYPTIANS WORE FIRST FALSE
Boards

The Jews were responsible for the
first false boards that were ever Worn,
so far as known. They did not wear
them themselves but they caused the
Egyptians to do so. The Egyptians
had long gone with smooth faces, but
when the Jews came over to stay with
them, the people Of the Nile quickly
absorbed the idea that a bearded man
was associated with strength. nobility
of character and perhaps prowess. so
it quickly came about that whenever
the Egyptians wanted to hold cele-
bration in which certain persons were
to be exalted the objects of popular
acclaim wore false boards.
