THE ISAIAH W0MAN'S CLUB
RAISING FUNDS.

In the endeavor of Isaiah Temple,
Chicago, to build a new temple the
efforts Of the Isaiah Woman's Club
Of the National Federation Of Temple
Sisterhoods is invaluable. The men,
bers have shown such energy and de-
termination in raising the money for
the purchase Of an organ, that the
Board Of Directors already feel as
sured Of this instrument for the new
Synagogue. To obtain funds for the
organ Isaiah Woman's Club held
rummage sale recently which proved
a great success. As n business ven-
ture II had remarkable features-no
cost for merchandise and practically
no overhead-ideal conditions, that
resulted ina profit Of over $1,000.
The annual meeting Of the Isaiah
Temple was preceded by supper serv-
ed by the Isaiah WomaE's Club. The
regular monthly meetings have in
variably proven entertaining and in
structive. The programs consist usu-
ally Of musical numbers and papers
by prominent Chicagoans on subjects
pertaining to Judaism. The activity
Of the club however Is directed to-
wards furthering the cause Of the
New Temple, the site Of which has al
ready been purchased.
The address by Major DR. David
Klein, who has wide knowledge OF
food chemistry, on the Child Nutri-
ton Problem at recent meeting OF
the club, was Of unusual value. The
address was preceded by violin solo
rendered by Master Ben zimteroff.

wish to know what has been done
and what is to be done in the future.
We shall expect from DR.. Weiz-

Jewry is ready to throw itself into the
sacred task of Transforming the old
Homeland into the new Homeland. All
that is necessary is to take the Jews

as to the extent of the support that

There are sharp differences Of opin-
ion, as naturally might be expected.
1t is essential, however, that an un-

wishes Of their followers.
We shall welcome our leaders from
abroad with open arms; we shall list

And we shall tell them: American

1921 IS CITY'S
BIGGEST YEAR
IN DEVELOPMENT
Permits For the Year Aggregate
$879,655.OO, With No Signs
Of Let-up

The tremendous building activity
gong on all over Florida has at
tracted the attention of the rest of tn
country. esecially where development
is largely at standstill. Reports
from various points in the state have
been showing that this is the grea; g
est development era so far known.
This general statement is true of
Lakeland. More homes are being
Luilt here than ever before and nor
money is being invested in industria
buildings.
The month of September saw the is
suance of $40 ,105 in building permits
within the city limits, and the total
in permits for the year so far is 1919,
655, or between $97 900 and S9S,000 a
month.
The best part of the story is that
many more homes and buildings are
in prospect, not only within the city
but in the nearby territory.

Washington. Oct. 7.--Majority mem
bers OF the senate finance committee
were faced today with the task OF
virtually rewriting the major sections
Of the tax revision bill, reported more
than two weeks ago.
Some revision of the conference
agreement plan tentatively adopted
by the majority members remained to
be worked out, but Senator Penrose,
in charge of the tax measure, predict
cd that the perfected" bill would be
passed next week. Other leaders were
less optimistic, however, believing
that the fight to come over the sales
tax, repeal of the excess profits tax.
and some other provisions would pre-
vent final action within that time.
The Democrats have also contended
for Il repeal of the $4,000 exemption
allowed corporations. This is under
stood to have been included in the Re
publican compromise program but
some opposition has developed, the
calm being made that it would work
Il hardship on small corporations. 1t
is to meet this opposition that pro-
posal for 10 per cent tax on cor
porations having a net income under
$4,000 a year was advanced.
The ten per cent rate is . 1-2 per
cent below the minimum proposed by
the Democrats. Some finance commit
tee Republicans are opposed to
graduated tax arguing that it would
not yield the required revenue from
this source
The Democrats do not agree to this
and contend that sliding scale is the
better plan. a compromise reported
by Republican leaders apparently
carries little comfort for advocates of
the manufactul sales tax, who are
understood to have counted upon get
ting support for their plan through
the growing opposition to the pend
ing bill. They have by no means
given up the fight. however. and will
continue to press for this form of tax
as substitute for the various mis-

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 7.-Argu-
ment in the case of John H. Pope,
local attorney on trial charged with
murder in connection with the killing
here some time ago of George H
Hickman, theater manager, by Frank
Rawlins, during an attempted robbery,
was expected to be resumed today in
circuit court. Judge Gibbs decreed a
brief recess when court opened, stat
ing that he required little more time
in which to prepare his charge to the
jury. The defense was to open ar
gument and the state was to close
having gained that privilege because
Pope testified in his own behalf.
There was a possibility that the case
would go to the jury late today.
