are opposed to Bolshevism because
we are Americans, because we are
men who want to maintain freedom
in the world, who want to uphold
civilization, who want to preserve
what we have inherited from the past
and to enrich the great legacy that
we may bequeath to our sons and to
our sons sons.
We want to maintain that which
Washington struggled for, which Lin
coin was martyred for, which Roose-
welt fought for so valiantly and which
Wilson has served so brilliantly and
we'll. That is America, nation in
which citizenship shall not rest upon
creed, faith or race, in which each
man and each woman shall stand
upon individual character.
And so I have come this morning
bearing my testimony to you as fell
low citizen among you. I can only
wish in closing that it were possible
to persuade every Jew to ignore the
charges of the Dearborn Independent
and other Anti-Semites and to remain
silent. I wish that it were possible
to persuade every Jewish publicist to
ignore the charges and to remain
silent; that it were possible to say
to every rabbi, Don't you speak, it
is not for the moment the Jews fight,
it is not question of the Jew de-
Tending himself; it is question Of
the defense Of Christian civilization,
of American idealism." believe that
Christian America will crush Anti
Semitism. Because the attack is di-
rected against the Jew, it is the bust
ness Of the non-Jew in America to
say: "You shall not strike my broth
er, the Jew, except through and over
me-" That is the challenge as I see
it, and I have enough faith in Amer
lea, enough faith in my fellow citizens
Of Gentle birth and Christian faith,
to believe that if you give us little
time to mobilize our resources, we
shall beat anti-Semitism to it's knees
because it is un-American, because
it is I'M Christian, because it is sub
versive of all that makes life in
America dear and precious unto us.

ager and told him he never wanted

Ford fired his chief auditor, and
cannot now find the items or col
lateral he wants. He made ar
rangements for a loan and said he
would send down block of $1,000
900 bonds of certain municipality.
The bank made it's arrangements
and waited; then telephoned Mr..
Ford. He could not find them; they
had been misplaced. Later he in
timated to the bankers that he was
not going to let them have those
bonds anyway; he doubted if he
could trust them. Of course, the
bankers only elevated their eye
brows and expressed their opinion
privately about the reliability of the
organization.
The general advertising manager
made a hopeful statement that 1921
would see larger output of Ford
cars than ever. Mr.. Ford had not
authorized the statement, and he
fired the advertising man.
Had not the advertising man un-
derstood that no announcement con-
corning the Ford company could be
made except by Mr.. Ford's personal
o. K?
The manager of the European
business was summoned home. 1t
is announced that he was unable to
see Mr.. Ford, but wrote his resigna-
lions as head of all the European
companies. And he had been with
Mr.. Ford for sixteen years! The
truth is he was summoned home
and then fired.
If there has been any able mer-
chandising business in this country,
it has been the merchandising of the
Ford cars. But Hawkins, the head
sales manager, was fired.
Lewis Block, the Philadelphia
manager, was likewise fired and no
announcement made.
Perhaps there had been announce
ments enough for January and the
past week.
Lately the Boston News Bureau,
The Wall Street Journal and the
Philadelphia News Bureau began
telling some financial facts concern
ing Mr.. Ford. In no other places
were the facts told or had there been
any criticism of Mr.. Ford.

THE REAL JEWISH PERIL
CONTINUED from page p

included in the list, because they are
all non-Jews, it would have destroyed
the miserable case that the author
of the articles and the book seeks to
build up.
I turn away from the Morning
Post" and I turn to this collection of
anonymous articles from Mr.. Ford's
newspaper-organ Of the pacifist
turned Jew batter and reactionary
and promulgator of hate-and I read:
"Every commissar in Russia today is
a Jew" Then l think of the intent
back of that paragraph and I think
of the reason why that is dissemin-
ated, and contrast it with the truth.
The truth is that instead of every
commissar in the Bolshevist govern
ment being Jew, Of the total mem
shevist Commissars, the Council of
Bolshevist Commissars, consisting of
seventeen members, which is the SUI
preme body in Bolshevist Russia,
there is only one Jew among the
seventeen, and that Jew is Trotsky.
Sixteen Of the seventeen are non.
Jews and Trotsky, the Jew, is only
Jew in the sense that he may be
termed Jew by ancestry; he is no
Jew by faith. Everybody who knows
anything about Bolshevism, or who
knows anything about Judaism either,
knows that Bolshevism is fundament-
ally and inherently opposed to the
faith and morals which constitute the
great bond of the Jewish people. And
that's why the Jews of Russia, re-
CARELESS of party, regardless of social
views, are more solid against Boil
shevism than the Russians them
selves. That's why no single Jewish
party in Russia has gone Bolshevist
from the beginning until now. The
"Bund", the largest Jewish Socialist
party and organization in Russia and
Poland, is definitely and militantly
anti-Bolshevist; every Jewish branch
of the Constitutional Democratic
Party is anti-Bolshevist. Every great
Jewish community in Russia, so far
AS I have been able to discover, is
joined in the attack on Bolshevism
and not one Jewish community in
Russia has supported Bolshevism.
And yet the poison is being spread
through this country-because Boil
shevism is moral leprosy which we
abhor, not because we are Christians
or because we are Jews, but because
we are decent minded men and wo-
men, an attempt is being made to iden-
tify the Jew with that moral leprosy
that is spreading through the world.
I do not ask this morning that the
Jew as Jew repudiate Bolshevism.
Why, in the name Of all that is holy,
should the Jew as Jew be made to
answer whether he is Bolshevist or
anything else? If he is put on the
rack today for Bo7shevism, tomorrow
he will be put on the rack for some
thing else. I am not opposed to Boil
shevism because I am Christian,
and Rabbi Wise is not opposed to Boil
shevism because he is a Jew! We

obligatory. Boiled eggs are served in
egg cups and not in a glass as in the
old messy manner, and 1t is proper to
eat them directly from the shell. AS
every housewife knows eggs have a
way of discoloring silver spoons and
there is no reason why they should
not be eaten with the small bone
spoons that come especially for that
purpose.
1t is now taken for granted that
the persons gathered around the break
fast table have none too much time
to spend; therefore more leniency is
permitted in manners perhaps than
at dinner which is the leisurely meal
Of the day. For instance, if one per-
son does not care for fruit. it is not
discourteous for him to proceed to
cereal or eggs or whatever his. break
fast consists Of Moreover there is
no reason why we should make an
effort toward uniformity in break
fasts and If one member wishes to
omit any one or more dishes he need
make no effort to overcome his pref
udice, whereas we do try to take
the courses as they come at dinner.

BOUNDARY DRAWN BY NATURE
Caucasus Range Seems to Form Nat
uraI Dividing Line Between the
TWO Great Continents.

The Caucasus range, one of the
most remarkable of all geological
phenomena, is the boundary between
Europe and Asia, and an almost Inn
penetrable wall which can be crossed
by vehicles or horsemen in only two
places, known as the Darrell and the
Manisson passes. From the begin
ming of history until the middle ages
it was the boundary of the world,
writes William Eleroy Curtis, In
Around the Black Sea- Beyond, all
was mystery and fable, and for that
reason the ancients made the Caucas-
us the scene of much NEUROLOGICAL ac-
tivity and the home of many marvels.
They called the country Colchis, and
it was there that Jason and the Ar
gonauts found the Golden Fleece.
Prometheus was chained to one of the.
peaks by the gods to punish him for.
giving fire to the mortals.
The first Europeans to find their
way through the rocky labyrinths
were Greek and Genoese traders, who.
crawled through the canyons on foot.

BREAKFAST AT HOME

ID REAKFAST in most homes is a
ID gloomy meal, and yet unless some
fearful disaster impends or has al
ready fallen, cheerful countenance and
pleasant good mornings are far more
natural than the blues.
So the mistress of the house must
frown down bad morning manners,
just as she must insist upon the polite
Excuse me" when anybody wishes to
leave the table before the meal is
over. She must see that the maid
wears a clean apron while serving
and that she goes about her duties
quietly, and all this must be done be-
forehand, as 1t is not in the polite
nesses to correct the servant at table,
Reading the newspapers at breakfast
time is a distinct breach of manners,
although the break is allowed in many
homes. 'If you please" and mo,
thank you," are phrases polite persons
accord any member of the family
when asked to have something or
other, and the same civility is re-
uuired when dealing with a servant.
At breakfast and luncheon a large
tray is generally set for the mis-
tress Of the house, from which she
serves the tea and coffee. Fruit is

! shall be back very early IN the
spring to repay it."
Miss Rosebush had no idea how
Robin could repay her, and she did
not think she had done anything for
which he should, so she hugged the
wall closer, falling asleep for the
winter.
When she awoke In the spring she
was very much surprised to find
Robin already back from the south,
around her roots with his bill in a
very busy manner.
"YOu see, / am keeping my
promise" he chirped. Il am quite
sure I know why you have never
grown as tall as you. should; there
are too many worms around this wall,
but this year you will not be held
back by them, promise you"
Every morning and evening Robin
came and worked to repay Miss Rose
bush's kindness of the fall day when
he was caught in the snowstorn, and
when June came all the flowers in the
garden looked with surprise upon
Miss Rosebush's beauty, for she far
outgrew them all.
Up to the top of the stone wall she
grew, and then above it, and her
beautiful pink roses were so large
that everybody passing that way
stopped to admire them.
"Now, what do you suppose hap
pened" said a big red rosebush who
had always been the pride of the
garden. mo one ever noticed Miss
Rosebush before this summer"
No one could tell, but if they had
asked Robin he could have told them
that it was kind deeds that made her
so beautiful, but though it is said
that little birds tell a great deal,
Robin did not tell what he knew
about Miss Rosebush, and so no one
in the garden found out why she grew
so tall and beautiful that summer.

ANGELICA

A NGELICA, a name Of much more
IA substance than the pallid Angela,
is still one of the "angelic names"
which feminine fancy delights to be-
stow on its girl children. 1t means,
Of course, "angelic" and seems diff
cult to reconcile with the behavior of
some of the small daughters whom
one finds bearing the name.
Angeles was a Greek word meaning
Heavenly messenger" hence "angel." !"
1t first became a name in the Byzan-
tium empire when 1t was bestowed as
an epithet upon persons of surprising
beauty.
1t was applied most often as mas
culine name and there was Carmel
lite saint called Angelo, who estab-
Iished it as a baptismal name. In his
honor, the feminine also became popu-
lar and Italian history records many
instances of its use.
Angelica sprang to fame since 1t
named the faithless lady Of romance
for whose sake Orlando lost his heart
and his senses. Though she was the
invention of Boiardo and AriostO, the
romantic flavor which the story gave
her name brought Angelica to instant
favor. England liked the name and
adopted 1t. In France 1t became An
gelioue. and Italy produced the other
forms of AngiOletta and Anzioleta,

The death rate among males in this
country is twice as great at forty as it
is at twenty, according to The Nations
Business. This means that so per cent
of the vital resistance is gone at that
early age, an age when a man is. sup
posed to be at the height of his power
an age when his vitality should be at
least equal to that of man of twenty.
Why isn't it2 Infections, pOisons,
mental strain, physical inactivity, tco
much food, too little food, badly bal
anced diet-a long list of causes, most
of them traceable to the widespread
and fallacious notion that a man can
have health without working for it.
No man need accept the physical
limitations which apparently doom so
many to hit the downhill trail almost
before they have come to the age that
should endow them with the fullest
physical and mental power. Right
living and right remedial measures

Of periodic examinations, form COM
