cries of those who had the good for
tune to attend it, because of it's ma
ture and the character of the per-
Torrance.
The importance of music to peo-
pie cannot be over-emphasized. Music
is humanizing element that makes
for democracy. With a mode Of liv-
ing that tends to keep the emotions
pent up, music affords natural medi-
UNI for expression. The Menorah So
ciety, which is a public Jewish insti-
tuition, will, we hope, see the wisdom
of bringing such art and artists closer
to the knowledge and appreciation of
the music lovers. Such a profoundly
beautiful performance as this is the
surest way of accomplishing this end.
Miss Esther B. Schanfeld, chair
man of the music committee, the Off
GERS of the society, Eli Rosenbloom,
president; Ethel Vilk, vice president;
AL Levens, treasurer; and Harold Mir
viss and Florence Shapiro, secretaries,
are entitled to the credit for affording
us this rare treat. The Patrons and

DR.. Faitlovitch Again Among
the FalashaS.

New York.-Dr. Faitlovitch,
who has again returned to Abys-
sinia, reports that he has now
succeeded in organizing several
Jewish schools in Dembea. The
Board of Instructors of these
schools is composed of native
Falashas who have received in
tensive training in Hebrew and
theology under the personal SUI
pervision of DR.. Faitlovitch.
DR.. Faitlovitch conferred with
the crown prince of Abyssinia,
Ras Tofori, concerning the So
cial and political conditions of
the Falashas.
The crown prince took a great
interest in the various proposals
outlined by DR.. Faitlovitch for
the amelioration of the status of
the Abyssinian Jews, and it is
hoped that he will grant permits
sion to establish Jewish schools
IN Add1S-ADeDa, which Will help
to unite and develop the Jewish
community there, and bring
them into Closer touch with the
Arabian Jews of Yemen and
Alden.
DR.. Faitlovitch brought with
him some indictments, given by
the Joint Distribution commit
tee, and distributed these among
the several communities. He is
leaving Addis-Abeba shortly to
proceed to Asmara to resume ne
gotiations with the Italian Co.
lonial government for the estab-
lishment of Jewish school
among the Falashas of Eitrea.

Napoleon and the Jews
Continued from Page 9

even if the story of his appeal to the
Jews of the Orient were true, could
not have originated while the COM
plants of the Alsatian anti-Semites
engaged his attention. 1t is quite pos
sible, though not proven, that the
emperor, who sneered at all enthusi-
asts as "Ideologists" believed the es-
tablishment of a Jewish center in
France would be means of winning
for France the sympathy of the Po-
lish Jews in the impending war
against Russia. One thing is certain,
the Jews of Rome and Mayence, who
saw French soldiers batter down the
gates of their ghettos and those Of
Frankfort, who could now mock at
the "Judenschutz," with it's fendish
devices, saw in Napoleon, as an Ital-
ian contemporary put it, good
Portion" (Buena Parte) and applied

Avner RakOv Wins Prize for Com
nOSitiOn

position.
Avner Rakov, the brilliant young
violinist who was heard and enjoyed
by large audiences in the past year
or so, was awarded the Journal
third prize for his two compositions
for violin, "Serenade" and "Scherzo."
The judges, Emil Oberhoffer, Carlo
Fischer and Donald Ferguson, in
making the awards, spoke in high
terms of the youths talent as a COM
poser and violinist. Avner, who is
only seventeen years old, plays with
the vigor and smoothness' of much
more mature artist, and a brilliant
career appears to be in store for him.

DefIation in Mexico.

The change in Mexico from a swollen
paper condition to a strictly gold basis
being effected, has resulted in tight
money conditions and a fall of COM
modify prices in that country lndica-
tive of the deflation steps so well known
in New York. Tight money, in turn, Is
in large measure responsible, In the
opinion of local bankers, for the clos
ing of the Paris-Mexico Banking Com
pany of $4,000. 900 pesos capital In
Mexico city and for the reported run on
Tuesday on the Banque Francaise du
Mexique. Should the present policy be
continued even tighter conditions OF
money are expected there during the
next sixty to ninety days The situa-
ton is a real test of stability under the
new Government.

ship Now, Avoid the Rush.

Shippers who are In position TO do
so are being urged by the railroads to
take advantage OF the present surplus
of equipment and by shipping now obtain
prompt movement and delivery Of COM
modities. For the first time since pre-
war days the carriers are ahead of the
nations business, n condition attributed
to three factors: First. strenuous and
successful efforts on the part of the
carriers to rehabilitate their properties ;
second the usual winter lull. and third.
the present changing Industrial condi-
tious. Railroad men point out that the
present large surplus of freight equip
ment will not be available in the spring
when the annual crop movement shaYf
develop.

stock Transfers Delayed.

A new plan to facilitate the transfers
of stocks is being worked out. Three OF
the largest trust companies which act as
transfer agents and the United States
Steel Corporation have accepted the pro-
posal and an announcement of the plan
may be made tomorrow. The Hood or
selling in December to record tax losses
has been followed by flood of odd lot
buying for cash, and several brokerage
houses have had to keep force of
clerks busy all night every night pre-
pairing the issues for transfer. In one
house no less than $40 blocks of different
stocks were prepared for transfer on
Monday night, and the congestion has
become so great as to cause several
days delay in the transfer of certain
active issues. To lessen physical work
is the aim of those who are working on
the new plan.

A Year of Mergers.

A prominent banker expressed the
opinion yesterday that 1921 would go
down in history as the year of mergers,
and that in so far as several gentlemen's
agreements were in effect that many
corporations would go even further and
bring about actual physical consolida-
ton. This will be year" he declared,
''in which every effort will be made to
keep down costs. and II that can be bet
ter and. more smoothly accomplished by
mergers and consultations then they
will swiftly follow" He mentioned steel,
leather, copper, tire and motor industries
as those in which amalgamations might
be anticipated within q very short time.

Canadian Offerings.

Local bidders for $4,000, 900 Of Pro-
vince of Manitoba ten year 6s were un-
successful, Canadian houses putting in
tender 1.30 higher than the best New
York bid. Canada is showing an in
creasing ability to care within her own
borders for the financial needs of her
provinces. Following the news of this
financing the premium on New York
funds In Montreal declined slightly to
$172.50 a $1,000. That premium is suf-
ficiently high, nevertheless. to induce Ca
madam holders OF bonds, whose principal
and interest are payable In the United
States, to dispose OF their securities and
to invest the proceeds after conversion
to Canadian funds in prime securities
offered in Canada.

This is the season Of the year when
the physician is busy with intestinal
diseases, and most of our thought and
endeavor go to typhoid, dysentery and
sick babies. It is well that we give
them our attention, but do not for one
minute forget that the venereal dis
eases are constant; they do not know
seasons, and as compared to the entire
list run from 1/5 to ia of the whole;
do not forget that syphilis is the great
est killing disease. Remember that
yenereal diseases result in institutional
care and cost the taxpayers of Georgia
over 100000 per year for maintaining
institutions for them.

the houses are of solid concrete and
concrete block, they are exceptionally
we'll constructed; the cottage plan is
carried out; the dairy is very fine; an
electric light plant is installed, as well
as water system. The extent to
which this school can be operated, of
course, depends entirely upon the lib

much needed institution. The number
of pupils to be admitted will depend
solely upon the maintenance fund
voted. Those who wish further in

1t is perhaps hard to believe, to you
who do not know, yet it is a fact
that the physicians of our State treated
one man out of every 81 between the
age of 20 and rs for venereal dis
ease last year. We do not know how
many were not treated by reputable
physicians or how many depended on
the dangerous practice of buying pat
ent remedies and self-treatment; the
number must have been considerable.
Remember, 65 per cent of all abdom-
inal operations done on women are
due to gonorrhoea and go per cent
of all blind babies are innocent suf-
fsrers from this disease.
