There are $3.50 Jewish war or
phans in Palestine, according to re-
port received by the American jew
ish Relief Committee from DR.. David
deSola Pool, Palestinian relief direc-
tor for the ]. d. C. DR.. Pool classi-
fies the orphans as follows: Full or
phans, lilo; fatherless, 1850; moth
erless, 1856; children deserted by their
parents and those whose parents are
insane, chronic invalids, ETC., 315.
As the cost Of maintaining an or
phan for a month Is about four
pounds, $3.50 pounds are required as
monthly budget to keep them alive,
DR.. Pool said. In pleading for funds
In order that the orphan work will
not be destroyed, DR.. Pool said: "You
see by comparison with the actual ex-
penditures In recent months, how
drastically We have curtailed our bud
get. This, in itself, Is a tragedy,
made necessary by the lack Of funds,
but there Is no describing the tragedy

An Exclusive Interview for The Jewish
a,.aa Monitor From Harry Hershfield,
Creator of "Abie The Agent"

~ was doing series Of cartoons
called Desperate Desmond" said Mr..
Hirshfield, "and in that series, l oc-
casionally made use of Yiddish say
ings, especially where l wanted to
please some Of my Yiddish UNDER
standing friends. One day happened
to speak to Mr.. Arthur Brisbane
about this, and we then had consm.
tation, and here's what Mr.. Brisbane
and l decided, especially Brisbane:
He said: New York City has two mil
lion Jews. We have representatives Of
the humor Of every race and creed in
this country, and any community Of
over two million people is entitled to
its own representative cartoonist.
Mr.. Brisbane suggested this idea to
the rest Of the editors Of the Hearst
papers and for one week we battled
10 and fro on this subject The editors
told Mr.. Brisbane that they were
afraid that advertising would drop in
the New York Journal, especially
among the Jewish clientele, IL "Abie,
The Agent appeared as a comic Sc
ries. Mr.. Brisbane said: "From what
! can figure Of the Jewish people, ]
am sure that they have the most lib
eral sense Of humor; and the best
proof Is that the greatest number Of
our readers, as the writer stands now,
in the New York Journal, are Jews;
and they all, more or less, read our
comic page. Why should not q Jew,
who Is working for US, have a repre-
sentative cartoon in the paperl We
will try to set a standard that will
help to eliminate the bad type Of hu-
more and construe, that Is used on the
stage today. Mr.. Hishfield, am sure,
as a Jew, would be the last to offend
his own people. As to our losing ad-
vertising. from the Jewish advertisers
personally will take that risk, and tn
top Of that I will make bet with any
one In this room, that the advertising
will increase, and In six months prove
that am right"
We FIRST made one dozen drawings,
Of "Abie the Agent" and Mr.. Bris-
bane personally consulted Mr.. Nath-
an Straus, and asked him for his
judgment on this cartoon series. Mr..
Straus had no suggestion to make ex-
cept that Of approval. In fact went so
far as to have his name used In one
Of the comics.
During a recent drive in New York
for some Jewish charitable cause, Mr..
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-06-03

Straus wrote me n personal letter
signed by himself, asking me II l
would, through my column, "Abie the
Agent" work in some way, propa-
ganda for this drive. He said in this
letter that the mention Of this charit-
able cause through a medium that was
so largely read by the Gentle as well
as the Jew, would do more good thar
any other form Of publicity that they
could have.
The late Jacob Schiff, was a very
ardent reader Of this comic strip.
During the war, the War Depart
ment at Washington, was in continu-
al communication with me, by letter,
to help with propaganda through my
series to make suggestions for the
sale Of Liberty Bonds, and for the
winning Of the war AT the conclusion
Of the conflict received letter from
Secretary Of War Bakers office,
thanking cable, the Agent" for DO
ing its share in helping in the win
ming Of the war"
"Since the installation Of "Abie
The Agent" into the Hearst newspa-
pers and other Syndicates, through
out the United States, II has almost
completely changed the tenor Of He
brew character on the stage" This Is
n favorable comment Of Mr.. AL II.
Woods, the theatrical producer.
"Ih Able, The Agent" continued
Mr.. Hirshfield. "you never see the
sterotyped derby hat drawn over the
ears, with a big beard, and the move
ment Of the arms, as depicted by so
called Hebrew carricaturers on the
stage. There Is never q mention Of
the slanderous "fire' stories. No ridi-
cule Of religious rites and holidays, as
have been shown on the stage. My
characters are drawn in this series TO
depict really, the American humor.
as seen through certain types Of
Jews, and to be read by all Americans
without regard 10 religious belief.
Reaching. as II does, twenty mil
lions Of people n day, throughout the
United States, I feel a responsibility
to my public, and ! am sure that in
the future I will strive TO KEEP up that
high purpose for which Able, The
Agent, as a cartoon, stands, namely
10 bring, BY amusement, 10 my read
ers the serious thoughts and observa-
tions Of our daily life"
Mr. Hirshfield impressed us as a

Putnam Building & Loan Asso- citation Makes Fine Show
 ing For Year
Affords Excellent Opportunity For
 Systematic Saving

The tenth SC ui-annual statement of the condition of the Putnam Building < Loan Association, just issued by the secretary, If. H. Geissier. shows that the institution Is enjoying a healthy growth and filling it's two aspects that of savings institution, and also as a financial aid to people who wish to borrow money to build and own their own homes
 AS a savings institution the Build- ! ing 4 Loan Association affords . means of systematic saving that has proved . boon to many q person who has subscribed to one or nore issaes of shsres. No person may subscribe to over fifteen shares in any ane se- ries- The initial cost of a sha-e is Si.50. Once the shares are purchased the owner, or depositor, psys in one dollar a month for each share sub seribed for. h twelve years and three months each share amounts to s200. therefore S person who subscnbes to l five shares will receive, al the end of the twelve year and three month pri- ! od. sl .000
 Sine the association vas organized ! in 1916, interest at the rate If five ! per cent compounded has been paid. Many persons who went into the asso- citation reluctantly when t was first organized. now have several hundrei l dollars to their credit and h an prob ability have not felt the monthly pay meats as a burden Knowing that & certain amount must he paid each month, the owner of shares plans to have t ready As an incentive to pay ing regularly, a fine Of two cents a share Is imposed f the depositor does Hot pay on CT befors the fourth Tues day of the month.
 The Building ( Loan Association has, therefore. n its four years of ex- Istenee. been the means of Putnam people saving thousands of dollars that they would otherwise have spent One may plan to put certain amount in the savings bank each month. but the usual outcome of such a plan is that after 8 month or two it IS allowe to lapse. There is not the compulsory aspect that the Building 6 Loan Asso- ciation has, which really makes" one save.
 Therefore a. a savings institution the Building < Lean Association is safe, sound, and pays a high rate of compound interest, with the coupul- sory savings featnre.
 The loaning feature of the associa. ton ts also heref, to the shars hold CTS and 10 the community. Each share carries with Il borrowing power SO that members Of the association may borrow money from the association To build home. To borrow from s bank the person seeking a loan mus. have his home built. or As least in process of construction. But a share holser may borrow from the association even eefere any part of his building has been erected.
 The association loans money at an attractive rate of interest to it's share holders- who receive interest all the time on the money deposited.
 The association receiyes many ap- plieations fer loans Al are made on hrst mortgages, and are therefore safe. |

 "Farrar lodge No. Is the third oldest lodge in the Jurisdiction of the grand lodge of Alabama, and Is today one of the strongest and most fiourishing lodges in the state It is older than the grand lodge of Ala bama. having existed for some months prior to the formation of that body, under a charter Issued by the grand lodge of Tennessee. Its first worshipfal master was the first grand master of Alabama. Thomas W. Farrar. It's past masters were among the most prominent men of the county and state. Judge William s.
