The Jewish people should be
amongst the lenders in the movement
for the curtailment of ornaments by
agreement. The establishment Of peace
is one of the cardinal doctrines of
Judaism The Hebrew prophets were
the first, as they have been the most
eloquent, advocates of universal peace.
More than twenty-five centuries ago
these great ideals were proclaimed in
burning words that have stirred the
hearts of good men and women for
centuries. Let us cast aside our hest
tations and reserves, forget our ifs"

firmness and determination that peace
can and must be secured for dis
tracted and tormented world by the
united action of all good people who
in this matter see the right and stand

Singing In The Home
BY ELISE U. EATON.

.
Those who were fortunate enough to
see the all-star performance of Hart
ley Manners "Out There" which was
given for the benefit of the Red Cross
during the world war, will never for
get the effect produced upon the audi
ence in the hospital scene when
"'aunted Annie" Uaurette Taylor
sang "Rock-a- a-bye-baby" to few
wounded soldiers, until one by one,
they ceased tossing and turning and
fell asleep.
There is human sympathy and n
spiritual uplift induced by the singing
of beautiful melodies, and the crav-
ing for music is part of the heritage
of every normal person. Why is it
then. that present day parents are so
neglcctfuI of this educative force, so
careless of the necessity for laying the
foundations of artistic appreciation
in the impressionable years? Why do
so few mothers and fathers nowadays
sing either to or with their children
the songs which combin, fine senti-
.ment and really good m;.sie to offset
the current atrocities winch mnsquer-
ude as melody? What has become of
the parents who used to sing the ntr-
sery songs and other. good melodies
to their babies, and follow them with
u wider range of music as the chill
.lren grew older and needed 1t? Where
are the grandmothers who knew all
the fine old hymns and ballads and
were not afraid to let their voices be
Heard by admiring youth? Where,
oh, where are the modern children
who are brought up on anything but
ragtime or jazz?
As nation we are losing the pow
or of expressing ourselves in song.
and the younger generation is losing
all the joy and cultural value of being
brought up in households where mt-
sic is as much a daily habit as speech.
and father, mother and children sing
separately or en- masse AS regularly
ms they eat and sleep.
Nothing can take the place TO the
child of the living human voice as a
musical medium. In no other way
than by listening and trying to copy
can he so easily be taught to sing
himself There is no fund of meni-
Ories in later years which will yield
him such rich treasure as those con
nected with the music of his child
hood, provided it has been made ls
mother, father. and the rest of the
family.
Whatever the reason for the disap

GIFTS TO THE NATION BY JEWS
OF FORMER DAYS.

The one statue that was gift to
the Government, of all the monuments
that stand in Stathary Hall in the
Capitol at Washington, was given by
Jewish Commodore Of the United
States Navy, Uriah Phillips Levy. The
bronze figure of Thomas jefferson
by David de Anglers. was presented
to Congress by Commodore Levy,
when he was Lieutenant in 1893.
This famous statue of jefferson was
first placed in the rotunda of the
Capitol. but was afterwards removed
to the grornds in front of the Presi-
Dental mansion. The figure was
formally accepted in 1874 upon a mo-
tiOn Of Senator Sumner, and was
placed III its present position among
Americas most famous statesmen and
soldiers.
1t will surprise many to learn that
the erection of the Bunker Hill Mon
utnent, commemorating the first bat
tlefield of the Revolution, was made
possible thru gift of $4,000 given
by Judah Touro. He let 1t be known
that when sufficient money within
$4,000 had been secured for the
building of the monument he would
give the above amount to insure the
completion of the work. $55,153.27
was obtained in all, Of which sum
Touro gave the final $4,000.
His exceptional public spirit is
further emphasized when 1t is recall
ed that the project of the Bunker Fill
Monument was largely New Eng
land enterprise, while he was citi-
zen Of Louisiana. A committee con.
sisting of John Quincy Adams, Daniel
Webster, Joseph Story, Edward Ever
EFT and Franklin Dexter, prepared an
inscription for tablet to be placed
on the monument, stating the object
for which 1t was erected and recording
the patriotism of Judah TOuro and
the others whose generosity made pos
sible the completion Of the memorial.
On June II, 1S43, banquet was held
In Faneuil Hall to celebrate the sue
cess of the project. Amos Lawrence
and Judah Touro were praised in the
following manner:
"Amos and Judah, venerdted names,
Patriarch and Prophet, press their
equal claims.

and a great philanthropist, whose no.

generous benefactors Of America ,as
Sir Moses xfontefiore and Jacob II

During the defense of New Orleans
by Andrew jackson, TOuro fought as
