DIFFERENCES.

An Address by DIR. Louis Grossmann.
The Ups and Downs in Life have
troubled men, exasperated them and
perpiexed them ever since they have
had eyes and ambition. And thew will,
worry, get angry and fidget into all
sorts OF notions, for as long as they
VIII regard the shift Of fortune and
misfortune arbitrary and unfair The
ups will approve and the Downs dis
approve. These will smile and those

part OF human nature and human

science and philosophy and theology,
But at bottom they are moods, sun.
erinduced by our condition. The hckv
say Yes, and the unlucky say the ever.
lasting No. We want to climb IN tho
ladder, and we find that while we get
mold OF the rung somebody is stepping
down on u.s. And those of us who must
20 down feel the forward hand of
those ascending who will not leave
us room even for undisturbed with
drawal.
The difference between men will
never cease. There will always be
those who have a knack for rising or
climbing or achieving things, and
there will always be those who will
70 down or lapse or lose. The gifts
are not goods that can be distributed
equitably or divided in balanced
shares, The laws try to adjust differ.

erty is not the same as failure, nor is
wealth the same as success, except in
men who have lost their moral vision
and the right valuation Of themselves,
of those with whom they live and Of
the world.
There are geniuses and criminals,
it may be, and not infrequently, in the
same family, of the rich, of the poor,
of the Ups and of the Downs, what
ever the Laws, or the Social Level, or
the state.
1t would be amusing, if it were not
so tragic, to witness the upheaval of
our day, and how men are trying to

ences, but nature or life or experience
restores them.
The unrest today, as all unrest in
every period, comes from a deep
source. Some blame the laws, some
blame the officials; some the pas.
which, they say, is carrying dregs into
clear water; some blame the future,
or rather the illusions whose imagin-
ed beauties are designed mainly to
sharpen the ugliness of what is now.
But the blame is in none of them. 1t is
in life itself.
Those complain who have lost, or
have never had the art of living. Pow

has thus far been paid in cash. Due to
the season of the year, the Keren
Hayesod is not now conducting a gen.
era campaign throughout the country
but it is absolutely necessary that an
additional half million dollars in cash
be secured before the Zionist Congress
meets.
Within two weeks, the American
delegates to the Zionist Congress will
leave for Carlsbad They must not
come there empty handed. They must
bring with them the wherewithal
which will make the work of the con-
gress as fruitful at it should be.
We therefore call upon all Jewish
organizations, Keren Hayesod Com
mittees, and individuals, who have
pledged or who have accepted certain
quotas, to send in the maximum
amount of cash possible, within the
next few weeks. Let everyone ask him
self whether the amount that he has
pledged represents tn maximum that
ne is able to give; whether it ap-
proaches the Maaser level, which is to
guide our offerings for the Keren
Hayesod; and whether he has paid in
as much on account of his pledge as
he can or should.
Let all those who have enrolled in
the army Of workers for the Keren
Hayesod everywhere, make it their
particular obligation, within the next
fortnight, to see to it that every Jew
who has given enough; that those who
have not as yet given shall do so at
once and that those who have given in
part shall give more, immediately
and in cash.
Let all treasurers of local commit
tees forward all funds in their posses
sion Immediately to the Keren Haye-
sod Bureau to be transmitted at once
to London.
appeal to all friends of the Keren
Hayesod to reject that upon them
rests the responsibility of making a
success of the Jewish National Home;
to spare no effort, in order to enable
US to place the necessary sums of
money at the disposal of the World
Zionist Congress.

SUCCESS OF ZIONIST CONGRESS
IN HANDS OF AMERICAN
JEWS SAYS KEREN HAYE.
SOD TREASURER.

Whether the Twelfth Zionist Con-
gress to open in Carlsbad around Sep
TENDER 1st, will be "as fruitful as it
should be-" will depend upon the
promptness Of the Keren Hayesod
Committee, Jewish Organizations and
individuals in renting the sums Of
money pledged for the Palestine
Foundation Fund. This is the emphat-
ic statement made by Hermann Con.
helm, treasurer of the Keren Hayesod
Bureau for the United States, in a
statement issued the other day.
Following is the statemnt:
Within a few weeks the Worlds
Zionist Congress will convene in
Carlsbad. 1t will meet under difficult
conditions, and will face serious prob
lens. Whether or not the Congress
will achieve great things and fulfill
the expectations of the Jews of the
world will depend largely upon the fin
ancial resources that will be at its dis
posal for the great tasks which the
World Zionist Organization has I'M
dertaken in Palestine.
Within the past few days there has
come from DR.. Chain Weizmann,
president of the World Zionist Organi-
cation, cable message which carries
a reinsurance and warning. We are
assured that "there is no cause for Sc
rious anxiety" for our ultimate sue
cess in the political field, but we are
warned, at the same time, that very
great effort is required to enable the
World Zionist Organization to initiate
without moments delay, construc-
TIVE work in Palestine. DR.. Weitzman's
message refers more specifically to
the Land Mortgage Bank and the be-
ginning Of the Ruttenberg Scheme for
hydro-electric development.
The events of the past few months
have made it increasingly clear to all
thinking men that the difficulties
we have experienced and are exper-
encing in Palestine are due chiefly to
the lack of sufficient funds with which
to carry on the work. Once we demon.
strate to the Great Powers, to the
Arabs, and to our enemies from with.
in and from without that the Jewish
people is determined 10 discharge its
historic Obligation and rebuild the Ma
tonal Home, our present difficulties
will disappear.
The Jews Of Eastern Europe
crouching under the double burden Of
economic distress and political disabil.
ties, have responded nobly to the cali
Of the Jewish Homeland. They are
sending forward the flower of their
youth, as Chaluzim, to restore Pales-
tine to its former fertility and pros
perity.
The Jews Of Poland, of the Ukraine,
Of Galicia are straining every nerve,
depriving themselves Of the very ne.
cessities Of life, to help realize the
jewish dream. The Jews Of Poland
alone have contributed one-seventh of
the total collections of the Keren
Hayesod.
We, in America, are only at the be.
ginning Of our effort. By our contribu-
ton to the Keren Hayesod we are
making possible the immediate be.
ginning Of several greatly-needed
economic undertakings in Palestine.
With the money already given by the
Jews Of America, the Land Mortgage

GARY SLASHES STEEL
PRICES AND WAGES
Cuts Cost Of Product From 81 to $40
Ton and Abrogates Over
time Contracts

New York, July THE United
States Steel Corporation has made
cut in prices of its products ranging
from 81 to $40 ton and has abrod-
gated the overtime day put into effect
during the war by which all workmen
were paid time and half for all time
worked over eight hours. Formal an
nouncement of these changes was
made yesterday afternoon by Judge
E. Fl. Gary. chairman OF the board of
directors.
The price cut is the second this
year and the fourth from the peak
level established in the latter part OF
1918. The elimination OF overtime for
workmen represents also the second
change of TIE corporations wage
schedule this year. The wage reduc-
tion amounts to approximately Is per
cent. on those men who are work ng
twelve hours a day. Judge Gary an
nouncement OF the changes follows:
ALSO to abrogate as of July 16, 1921
the so-called basic or overtime day
put into effect during the war as an
emergency measure. 'ss y
The announcement of this cut in
prices dces not come as a surprise
either to the financial district or to
the iron and steel industry. II has
been expected for some time that an
announcement of this score would be
forthcom ng from the corporation
and the recent reductions Of some OF
the Independent companies as we'll
as the continued shading OF prices
by other companies which have not
formally announced lower schedule
made the change almost certain. That
another step would be taken in the
way of bringing down high wartime
costs by a REDUCTION of wartime
wages was also anticipated.

SINGING FROGS
Are Poultry When Frozen But Birds
When Alive.

When Alive.
Frozen frogs are poultry. Ergo, live
frogs must be birds.
Such is the reasoning OF the United
States customs service.
Lem Louie Wing, cook on the Per
sia Maru, brought a pair OF singing
frogs all the way from Gina as pets
for h little niece up In Chinatown.
Being honest, Lem Louie visited
the customs house and declared HIS in
tention of bringing into the United
States two frogs
Now, according to customs rules,
everything entering the port must
come under its proper class fcation.
The tones OF the Office were search
ed and no classification of frogs was
found.
1t looked like Lem lloule's little
niece would have to get along with
out her pets.
Then Deputy Surveyor Cook had a
bright idea Reference to the apprais-
al lists under the heading OF "poul-
try" showed that frozen frogs may
enter as poultry
Such being the case, Collector Irby
was called upon to rule whether live
frogs might not enter as birds
"The reasoning Is clear" he ruled.
III the general appraisal board can
classify them as poultry when dead,
frogs must have legitimate claim to
being birds when they are alive"
