FINDING WORK FOR JEWISH
IMMIGRANTS.
Friday, April /, 1921.

Jewish immigrants are very eager
to adapt themselves to the new sur
roundings. This is the experience Of
the Employment Bureau Of the He
brew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid
Society Of America. The majority Of
the immigrants coming now are wom-
en- and children. They Of course, 60 to
husbands and fathers who are earning
good money and have prepared COM
Portable homes for their dear ones.
The single Jewish immigrants who
pass through the Society's home at
229-231 East Broadway naturally ap-
ply to the Employment Bureau for
work. A good many Of the immigrants
know trades, but the manner Of work
is different to that in the old country.
So these people have to start over
again.
The Employment Bureau Of the So
ciety thus became kind Of Vocational
Bureau. The applicant for work Is told
by the official Of the Bureau "Place
yourself in our hands, First he Is
closely questioned, and then his needs
are studied, and then his capabilities
are inquired into, and after that the
job is found for the man. It often
means that the immigrant has to be-
come an apprentice. This he gladly
does. He is paid while learning and
within short time becomes proficient
and is able to earn good wages. This
has been the invariable experience Of
the Employment Bureau. During 1920,
2,429 applicants were permanently
placed at salaries ranging from $16
to $4,000 week.
There is no lowering Of American
standards. The Employment Bureau
is very careful as to that. Jewish i'm
migrants themselves are most eager
to avail themselves Of the opportuni-
ties afforded them and quickly fit
into the new conditions.
The Employment Bureau advises
applicants to 20 out Of town, and thus
during the last year, employment was
found for APO Jewish immigrants in
sixty cities outside Of New York.
Another feature Of the employment
Bureau is its follow-up work. Immi.
grants who have secured work
through 1t, are periodically written II
and are urged to come to the Bureau
in case of any difficulties that MAJ
arise. Not until the immigrant Is com
pletely self-supportlng and independ
ent does the Employment Bureau
cease Its relationship with him.

The first strikingly surprising GUS
tom among the citizens of Picking is
that the women wear skirts, James A.
Muller writes in the National Geo.
graphic Magazine. TO traveller fresh
from America, this would seem as it
should be, but to one resident in the
land of trousered women it appears
almost immodest!
They not only wear skirts; they
further approximate western usage by
painting their faces. Broadway is ma
ture itself in comparison; for in Pc
king there are no light, artistic
touches, but bold cheek circles of red
upon frankly whitened faces-comet-

THING THAT REAllY COUNTS.
First Punch Always the Effective
Agent, in Life 40 Well as the
Squared Circle.

Georges Carpenter is smart fellow
that is, he is something more than a
fighter. One might even call the
Frenchman prophet.
The one that gets,in the first punch
will win," he said, referring to his
coming match with Dempsey.
Wen let it go at that SO far as the
next worlds championship heavy
weight fight goes. But just look around
and see if you have a punch in your
system and If you can land it first.
How hard can you sock at your job?
What is your batting average in the q.
m. Or can you take punch as we'll
as give one?
They called iris Speaker a miracle
pilot because he put the punch into a
ball club that copied the world title.
He always made it point to land first
on the scoreboard and when he didn't
he kept smuggling away until he usually
had his lead at the end of the game.
Man O. War is called the greatest
horse the world has ever had. But the
Biddle colt is just horse that puts
the best he has into every race and al
ways Man O. War finishes ahead of the
dust.
The football star who "hits 'em
first" is usually on the honor roll when
the cleats are hung up at the end of the
season. 81.

A Little Love Story.

A dreamer and man of action
loved a woman. The dreamer said :
~ shall write verses in her praise E;
they will touch her vanity and she
will love me for Them
But the man Of action said: ''How
old fashioned. I shall corner the
stock market, and that will bring
her."
So the dreamer wrote verses, and
he induced friend of his, who ran a
ten-cent magazine to print them. And
the man of action cornered something
or other and became Millionaire.
In the meantime the girl married a
man who inherited his money, and
lived happy ever after.
But the dreamer was so proud OF
his verses that he didn't care; and the
man of action was so busy that he
didn't care.
The only one to suffer was the man
she notwithstanding.

FEAR OF BREAKING MIRROR
Accident That IL Associated With One
Of the Oldest Supersttions OF
the World.

When lady, however cultured and
intelligent, accidentally skaters her
mirror, she is apt to turn pale. She
may even faint, though she may not
actually believe in the subsequent
"seven years of bad. luck" or the loss
of the one she holds most dear.
Is this perhaps because all peoples
have regarded mirrors as symbolic?
That from the earliest time, it has
been the instrument with which the
seer communicated with fate? lWho
has not gone secretly to consult the
crystal gazer who in her back hall bed
room used a wet mirror instead Of
crystal ball?) There are Christian fam
lilies today who will carefully drape the
mirrors in sick room because their
ancestors believed the spirit Of death
gained entrance through them.
It is rather natural, then, that break
ing the means Of communication with
the Beyond should be regarded as a
calamity. Hence the "seven years of
bad luck" Napoleon was so intensely
;superstitious on this point that once
; he happened to break the glass that
covered the picture of Josephine. Fear
full that this might spell the same
calamity as breaking mirror he sent
a courier to make sure that she was
safe, and slept neither day nor night
till the courier's return. A famous
! English writer died just one month
after he openly boosted that he would
defy this mirror superstition.

Every Man His Owr Ponzi.

Leave America with; say $500.
Change it into 100 pounds, present ex-
change in London. Cross to France
and exchange it for silver coin Il
pound equals So francs) and you have
4 200 French francs.
Smuggle these coins into Switzer-
land. Here they attain twice the val
ue they had in France, owing to the
fact that the silver French franc is
normal in Switzerland, but the paper
French frame is worth but half it's
face value in exchange. Change the
silver franc into Itslian paper lire,
then IL n pass on into Italy and cash into
Italian silver.
You now have $1,000 Italian silver
lire. Take these back into Switzer-
land and you have $1,000 Swiss francs.
Now purchase French paper money
and you will receive for it $4,000
French francs. Return to France;
there buy English notes and proceed
to London with 1000 pounds instead of
100 pounds you set out with.
Change these into American money
at present exchange and you have
about $500 instead of amout $4O0
you possessed at the beginning of the
journey. This profit of $1,000 should
be enough to pay your expenses for
the trip. Of course, you have to do a
bit of smuggling, but that should add
to the novelty and interest Of the trip.

marks the beginning Of new Amer

imports from France, Germany and
Italy, says Popular Mechanics Maya

base of supply for the iridescent ma
terial used, and removing it is an
arduous task, because each scale, taken
from certain parts of the fish, yields
only tiny speck Of luster.

Cllnging to his back

away at last. Clnging to his back
was Katherine.
Both men, inspired by the same
thought, started for the Shah. who
was standing, nose raised, sensitive
II aware Of the excitement. But Jack,
being the younger man, was the quick
er. Managing to slip the bride On, he
swung astride and, somehow assert
ing his control, drove the animal
straight to the bars-and over.
The Sultan, suddenly confronted in
a lane SO narrow that the tree branch
es met overhead, by a plunging an
imal determined to throw his rider,
slowed down, stopped, and stood shiv-
ering. At the same moment that Kath.
crime, weak and shaken, slipped down
from the saddle, Jack was hurled over
the head Of the Shah.
When Mr.. Horton reached the scene,
the Shah was down the lane, the Sui
tan standing quietly, and Katherine
bending over her rescuer, who was
lying with his eyes closed.
"Where the devil did you learn to
ride like that, man?' murmured the
farmer even as he stopped to feel
Jacks heart.
"Playing polo," answered Jack alb.
sent-mindedly, and lost consciousness.
Mr. Horton, to whom pOlO-playing
farmhands were a new experience,
sent Katherine to the house to get the
doctor for Jack and to get Kenneth
to come after the horses.
Late that afternoon, Jack, propped
up on the chaise Tongue in the cool
guest chamber of the farmhouse, was
berating himself with choice 1nvec-
tives.
The door opened softly and in
stepped Katherine, bearing tray.
Mother sent up your supper" she ex-
planned.
There was one thing Jack wanted
more than his supper-he wanted to
know ii Katherine knew. Perhaps she
read his wish in his face. At any
rate she smiled little and sat down
by the window.
"Kenneth has told me the whole
story" she said, land while 1t was kind
of crazy, can't help feeling flattered
that any man would be willing to
work hard for sixty dollars month
and board, just TOTO"
ITO try and make good in the eyes
Of the woman with whose picture he
fell in love-" said Jack quietly.
Katherine flushed. Then: please,
oh, please watt" she said hastily, "un-
til-until you're we'll again"
And Jack, knowing the doctor had
predicted speedy recovery, was con-
tent.
