Onlookers got considerable aume-
ment when Jacob Erlichman lit into
William Robinson, but 1t was no joke
for either Jacob or William. Robin

When one of the tenants in Bronx
apartment house, had accomplished no
results in court by explaining how
cold he and his family had been in the
low degree of temperature given them
| by the landlord, he cited sproof of
his contention of insufficient heat, that
his goldfish had to live under quar-
ter of an inch of ice. That was too
much for even the calloused judge,
and the andloard was fined $50
"The silent struggle" it is called by
the women at the head of it, and that's
just what it is. Think of fund drive
having already been in progress for
more than two weeks and not yet one
blast of the trumpet! The Young
Womens Christian Association is do
ing it; raising its money for the CON-
ing year in silence. Last year, we did
everything under the broad blue sky
to let people know about US and our
work and the money we needed and
why we needed it," said Mrs. George B
Ford, Maintenance Committee Chair
man, the other day. mot a person in
the country escaped our story. Black
and white, centenarians and babes in
perambulators, they all were told

Occidentals may not be clear as to
the differences between the Chinese
and japanese, especially if they are
nicely made up But they can't fool
each other. Forty Japanese moving
picture people had this impressed up
on the other day with sufficient en-
phasis to asst for quite while. The
picture company was after a good old

thought they might as well take ad-
vantage of the trappings down in
Chinatown marking the celebration
