few evenings ago the family Of the
q. c. Rogers, who live in the suburbs
here, went to the summer kitchen
for supper. and half an hour later
upon returning to the house found
that a lamp had exploded, set fire
to a room and then extinguished

Burning oil flowing from the table
set fire to the floor covering, and
this crept across the room to a table
on which was standing a fish tank
which held six gallons OF water. The

an accusing spirit. asking what could
be done to put a stop to such talk"
The authorities today began TO IN.
vestigate newly discovered evidence
that the rector and the singer were
shot in an automobile. The down.
ward course OF the bullet wounds is
said 10 be the main support OF this
theory.
There is a possibility that the bod.
les may be exhumed to clear up this
point and determine, once for all, how
many wounds were in their bodies.
Persons who inspected the bodies
differ. Some say the woman WAS
shot once, others that she was shot
four times. II In also said now that
her ankle was broken.
Intentions TO question members Of
the church have been upset by the
sudden disappearance from the city
OF many Of them. Some, supposed
to have information, have closed
their houses and have taken unsea-
sonable vacations. Others refuse
point-blank to talk.
Women's Movements Probed.
Detectives are also investigating a
report that Willie Stevens, Mrs.
Halls wealthy fifty.year-old brother,
carried notes in a clandestine corre-
spondence between Hall and the
singer.
1t Is intimated that Willie may
have read some of the letters before
delivering them.
Another line of investigation today
was the report that all has not been
harmonious in the Hall household.
During the last three or four years
there have been occasional upsets
in the rector's domestic life, accord
ing TO the report.
Activities Of three locally promi.
nent women-two OF whom are mar.

are also under investiga tion.

and the shofar was blown. the
Jews ended the celebration Of
their new year No. 56S3, accord
ing to the Jewish calendar.
For 5,683 years the Jews have
lasted as a working, united, in
telligent, civilizing force on this
earth. And long before their
calendar began, thousands of
years before calendars or record
ed history existed, the Jews
were at work carrying their
share of the earth's burden.
They have endured and over
come brutality, superstition, per-
secution and the vile hatred that
envies success, and the worse
hatreds based on religious in
tolerance.
They have seen nations that
drove them out, like Spain and
Portugal, go down. They have
seen nations that welcomed
them, like Holland, England and
America, rise up.
They have just seen their
mother city, Jerusalem, returned
to her own people. And they
begin the year 5683 more
powerful in the world, more use
full to the world, than ever.
Whence come the power Of
the Jews, their endurance, vital
ity and efficiency? Look for the
answer in their history, in Tai
mudic writings; not to the ig-
norant lying of Jew haters.
The Jewish mind sees, thinks
and works clearly.
The story Of Jewish success,
its handspring, Is found in the
maxims Of Gamaliel, Shammsi
and Hillel.
When iron was created the
trees began to tremble. The
iron asked, "Why do you trem-
BILE? II none Of your wood will
Join me, shall remain harm-
less"
1t is the wooden handle of
the steel axe that cuts down
the trees. Avoid evil and you
are safe.
of the mind"
Much wisdom is in that Tai
mudic saying.
The history of the Jews
proves its truth. Their enc
mics have forced success upon
them.
Young ladies and old might
write on their tablets this piece
of Jewish wisdom:
Cold water, morning and
evening, Is better than all the
cosmetics.
After the Great Alexander
died, all the earth's nations
created myths about him. He
was shown flying in the clouds,
travelling in the oceans depths.
This Is the Talmudic story:
Turned away from heaven,
Alexander took with him a
small piece of a skull. 1t out
weighed in the balance great
piles Of gold and silver. But
when a little dirt was scat
tered over it, it weighed moth
ing.
Here is the explanation:

Stupid prejudice, some of It
in pretentious little private
schools, some in pretentious big
Harvard college, would discrimi-
nate against the Jews and cheat
them of education.
Too late for that. The Jews
know education's value and will
have it. Whether you enter pub
lie schools or private schools, to
find Jews, look at the head of
the class.
In the days Of Tiberius the
Jews went through their period
of false and neglected education.
They wasted time wranpling
over "the law" Their children's
minds were stupefjed. as are the
minds Of Mohammedan children
today, with foolish repetition of
meaningless formulas. A Tai
mudic maxim says:
Jerusalem was destroyed be-
cause the instruction of the
young was neglected"

Jews, like others, seek for
fame, money, honor. But be-
fore all they put education. That
is why they succeed.
eff thou hast acquired knOwl-
edge, what canst thou lack? If
thou lackest knowledge, what
canst thou acquire?"
Other Talmudic sayings on
education are:
."Do not confine your children
to your own learning, for they
were born at another time"
"Teach the children of the
poor without compensation, and
do not favor the children of the
rich"
zone who teaches a child is
one who writes on clean paper"
"HonOr the sons of the poor;
it is they who bring science into
splendor."
"TGnorance and conceit 60
hard in hand"
"He who instructs a child is
as IL he had created it,"
without knowledge there can
be neither true morality nor
pietv."
"Who are you whose prayers
alone have approval?"
81 I'M a teacher of little chill
dren."
The Jews now enter upon the
5esAth year of their era. Thev
will live and work for thousands
of years to come, because they
VALUE knowledge, GET knowl-
edge and USE knowledge.
