Hard Fight for FL Paso
In the contest over the 1922 con-
vention city the argument against
FL Paso was largely the factor or
expense in making the trip TO that
city as well as the fact that the
convention in FL Paso would not be
in very close touch with man,
lodges Of the order The West Tex
as city appeared to be losing the
fight until Rabbi Martin Zielonka
of FL Paso launched into an earnest
and vigorous appeal for his city.
1--WE Of Ell Paso have travelled many
miles to attend the grand lodge
convention Of the ORDER said the
rabbi "and have found inspiration
in the meetings, as all who attend
do. The convention Of the order
brings the community in which il
is held the inspiration Of the high
ideals and purposes for which It
stands. Then will you say that be
ing in a locality where the conven-
ton will not be in close touch with
many lodges, the city does not nee
the convention. FL Paso will find q
great degree OF benefit from such a
convention and We feel that the con-
vention in going there would carry
out its purposes and ideals" Rabbi
Zielonka was warmly applauded and
Ell Paso was selected in the vote
that followed Immediately after his
talk. Alexandria members, on learn
ing the result, said Alexandria
wished to exend an invitation TO IN,
grand lodge to meet there in 1928.
The session Tuesday was devoted
principally to business OF the con-,
vention, committee reports being
made and other routine affairs COM
ing in for attention. The finance
committee reported the following
appropriations: Jewish Widows
and Orphans Home, New Orleans,
$1,000; Truro lnfirmary, New Or
leans, $1,000; Leon N. Levi Hospital,
Hot Springs, Ark. $4,000. The cam
paign to raise 100000 for the es-
tablishment Of home for old Jew
ish people in Memphis, Tenn, was

younger generation is alive to its
duty. The efforts Of the older men,
bers are now bearing fruit and the
chain Of tradition will undoubtedly
continue so that in years to com,
we may look forward to an organi-
zation that will deserve laurels liz
less than those which came to the
old devotees of the B'nai Birth"
DR.. Cohen paid tribute to tn
memory Of Leo N. Levi Of Calves
ton, and declared that through hi.
services to the order his memory
has been knit in the hearts and
souls Of the members. He also
touched upon the life and works Of
DR.. Solomon Marx of New Orleans,
the patriarch of the Order
HE was not known and loved only
for his work among the Jews" DR..
Cohen said, "but for his services I
humanity in general. In his active
service during his connection with
the order for sixty-five years, he
has been a help and inspiration to
all who came under his influence,
and his good works are being con-
tnued by his children"
Morris Meyer, delegate from the
Galveston lodge, told Of the work
which DR.. Cohen had performed in
the interest Of the lodge Of that city,
saying that he could not let the op-
portunity pass to express his appre-
citation and that OF the membership
for his devotion.
Sam Blum Speaks
Credit for the great success of the
Turo lnfirmary maintained by the
order at New Orleans was accorded
the late DR.. William Kohlmann by
Sam Blum, delegate from that city,
and past president Of tn infirmary.
His treatment of hundreds Of
charity cases and his untiring eff
forts in behalf Of the afflicted will
not be forgotten, Mr.. Blum said.
His keen insight and application at
tanned for him the reputation Of OIL.
Of the foremost physicians Of the
United States"
A report on the finance Of the

Aledo, July 23.-The only thing
that's going to keep members of
the Boy Scout troop from being a
member Of the camping outfit who
will spend a week at the bay un-
der the supervision of Scoutmaster
William Middaugh is the fact that
they lack the necessary cash. And
the only thing that's going to keep
them from obtaining the cash is
the fact that they won't be able to
find any way to earn the money.
The expenses of the trip will not
be great, Scoutmaster Middaugh
figuring that 81 a day will see the
