IN OUR PLAYGROUND
The Gates of Jerusalem

The players are divided into "He-
brews" and Enemies" in this way.
Two captains are first chosen. One
is Judah, the Maccabee, and the other
is Antiochus. They take turns in
choosing players for their sides, un-
til all the men are in two groups.
Then the players join hands and make
two straight lines, facing each other,
about ten feet apart. Judah names
his men after the defenders of the
Jewish people, Bar Kochbah,
David, Samson, Saul, and so on.
Antiochus names his, after the chief
opponents of the Hebrews, Titus,
Severus, Goliath, Sennacherib, and so
on. Then Antiochus calls on one of
his men to force the gates of Jeru-
salem. The player steps forward, and
tries to break the hands of the He
brews apart He may try three times,
in three different places. If he has
not broken through in these three at
tempts, then he must remain with the
Hebrews, and join their side. (Al-
ways place a captive between two of
the original teamD If he does force
the gates, then he takes back with
him the two Hebrews whose hands he
has broken apart. They must from
then on be Enemies. The side that
gets all the players, wins. (Advice
for the captains. Remember, in plac-
ing your men, put the weaker or
smaller players among the stronger,
or bigger ones. Don't have all the
weak ones togetherD

WHEN THE CANDLE
SMOKED
A Chanukah Story by Judith
ISh-K ishOr

Dave was most surprised boy.
He had come to the meeting of the
Entertainment Committee of the
Israel Club expecting to discuss the
ways and means for getting up live
ly Chanukah entertainment, but he
never dreamed that they would put
the greatest piece of work-and the
greatest honor!-on him. In fact,
they asked him to do quite an unheard
of thing-to write play for them!
1t happened in this way. Meyer,
the chairman, and the other members,
including Dave, had decided that they
must have very good entertainment.
That meant that they must have a
play. Herman, the grumbling men,
ber of the Committee, insisted that all
the plays suggested were no good. So
Joe, who always gabbled lot, but
who usually had a good idea tucked
away in the middle of his long, rat
tling speeches, suddenly announced:
"rve been thinking
'sDon't hurt yourself" said Herman
kindly.
"Tve been thinking" repeated Joe;
then, as every boy stared warningly
in his direction, and one or two got up
to "muzzle" him, he came out with it.
"Why shouldn't some one here write
play" There was an awe-stricken
silence for moment. Joe saw that
he had made an impression. Meyer
nodded, raped with his gavel on the
table, and said:
ssThat's a good idea. Well write
play ourselves. And Dave shall do
It'll" In the middle of the shouts of
applause from the other members,
Dave had hard job to make himself
heard.
"I've never written play" he cried.
"I can't do it"
"Sure you can," Izzy encouraged
him. "Look at the grand essays you
write for the English class in High
School, all about Pocahontas, and
The American Jewish world., 1922-12-15

come to us-child of thy people, in
this later day, would speak with you.
Hannah, come to keep the spirit of
Chanukah alive!"
Dave stared with a fascinated gaze
at the open doorway. The darkness
seemed to tremble and take form.
There stood a grey-haird woman, her
eyes lightly closed, her hands out
stretched as if she were cropping her
way. There was a faint smile on her
lips. 1t was Hannah.
(This story will be finished next
week, which will still be Chanukah.
I have no space to finish it this time.
I hope you don't mind.)

A CHANUKAH CAROL
Page TsOo


In the black December nights,
When the white stars beam and
shiver,
Calling till our kitchen lights,
Play with them, and dance, and
quiver,
Then want to shout and cheer,
For Chanukah is drawing near,
Chanukah will soon be here,
Chanukah is here!
Stars are very old, guess;
They saw Judah and his brothers
When I ask, they nod for "Yes!'
Hannah" too, and all the others
Ask them, and they'll answer clear,
For Chanukah is drawing near,
Chanukah will soon be here!
Chanukah is here!
Set the candles in line,
Polish up the big Menorah;
Grandma says we'll make it shine
Like the bells upon the Torah!
We've been waiting all the year!
Now Chanukah is almost here.
Chanukah is very near,
Chanukah is here!

ter luck than you ever did. Get out
of here!" The red figure stepped
aside, so as to get good swing with
it's fist, and Dave at last saw whom
he was talking to. A grey creature
with shaggy hair, dressed in wispy,
dust-colored garments covered be-
side the table. Dave stood up as if
in a dream.
ooh, you were talking to him!" he
broke in; then continued with hesita-
ting wonder. "I thought you meant
me-" The figure in red turned to him,
with a friendly nod.
"No, didn't mean you," he said.
"I'm the Spirit of the Red Candle.
Why should I say Stop it, and Get
out to a perfectly good Jewish boy?
Sholom Aleichemw In maze of sur
prise, Dave took the offered hand.
"And who is that?" unable to hold
back his wonder, Dave stared at the
dusty grey figure.
"That," said the Red Candle, in a
tone of contempt, sis Smoke-the
smoke that tries to darken every light.

the figure came nearer, "clear out!

days gone by. was called Doubt"
'And Failure"-said the Red Candle
grimly. Smoke lodged further away
from his valiant opponent.
"He tries to spoil everything" con-
tinued the Red Candle to Dave.
"Would you believe it, he tried to
spoil the story of Chanukah. 1t would
have come out all different if he had
had his way"
"Spoil it," said Smoke. "That's
just like your narrow-m -mindedness! l
tried to make them be sensible. And
you know, say what you like-they
had to listen to me! Even Hannah
listened to me for a while. Ask her,
go on. I dare you to call Hannah!"
Dave broke in eagerly:
"Does he mean Hannah, the mother
of the seven sons? I'd be awfully
glad to see her. I've got to have her
in my play"
"That's right, your play!" said the
Red Candle, taking off his cap and
mopping his forehead. "That's what I
came for" He stood before Dave,
and folded his arms with grave dig
nifty. 'I and my three brothers are
at your service" he said. He ex-
tended his arms as though performing
introductions. "The Blue Candle, the
White Candle, the Green Candle!"
In a moment they were there. The
Blue Candle came in a flash from be-
hind the open closet door, the Green
Candle from behind table, and the
White Curtain from under Dawes
very feet. "You set our spirits free,
when you kindled us" they said, "and
now, how may we serve you?"
First l want to see Hannah" said
Dave with deep breath at this won
derful adventure. The Red Candle
turned to his blue brother.
"Spirit of Truth and Fidelity" he
said, "That is your work" The Blue
Candle took his stand at the corner
of the room farthest from the door.
Then step by step, he advanced, and
paused, speaking almost in chant.

Venice Look, if you can write these,
you can write just plain simple
play?" Dave was little bit softened,
but still unwilling. "Would it have to
be Chanukah play?" he asked.
"Sure," said Meyer easily. Then
Dave caught him up.
"For Chanukah play, you'll have
to have girls!" Meyer was at loss
for moment, but only for a moment.
He looked at the other members.
"We'll ask the girls of the De
borah Club to act with us!" he said
boldly. Then as Dave, defeated, scrib-
bled on a piece Of paper, Meyer
clapped him on the shoulder and said:
'sAll right, that's settled. He'll do
it. Now look-a-here, Dave, you don't
have to. bother about anything else
except just that play. Well attend to
everything. You know what? Well
go away right now, so you can have
all the time left for the play"
"Well, haven't" Dave protested
feebly.

club members. "And here's the back
of my Hebrew note book to write in"
Gall right" he said in hypnotized
way. And they left him.
Dave sat alone in the empty club
room, fidgeting with the tin Menorah
and the colored candles that had been
spread out as samples of what could
be bought for the Clubs money. "If
that amt unreasonable" he sighed.
"Write play! AS if had any prac-
tice writing plays!" He got up and
walked about, his hands in his pockets.
Once he stopped. Then he shook his
head frowning, with a muttered
"That won't dol" Feeling quite cast
down, he strayed back to the table,
picked up the candles, and set them
in the little Menorah.
"Blue, red, white, green, yellow and
pink" he murmured. "Don't they
look pretty?" Absent -mindedly, he
picked up loose match, struck it, and
lit the first four of them. The match
burned out and Dave didn't bother to
light another He flung himself into
his chair, and sat back, scribbling
with pencil on loose sheet.
'T don't know, though" he said
more hopefully. "Why shouldn't be
able to write Chanukah play? Pm
grown up already. If want to be an
author, I don't have to wait any more.
And it would be fun to have our own
play. I wonder what-maybe l can
write it, He sat still and his
thoughts flowed on. "It would have
to be about the Maccabees-a about
Judah" The red candle in the Men
orah began to smoke, but Dave didn't
notice it.
-"And about Hannah and her
seven sons," he told himself. Gee!
They were great bunch! 1t makes
you"
"Stop i'll" cried loud voice, "Stop
it, say!"
Dave looked around, startled. A
slim red figure, stiff as rod, with a
pointed red cap on it's head had ap-
peared from nowhere.

said, "Well, you won't have any bet

JOHNNY DUNDEE
GETS DECISION
Boxes Joe Benjamin Fifteen
Rounds At Madison Square
Garden

New York, Feb. 6.-Johnny Dun
dee was awarded a fair enough de-
cision over Joe Benjamin, of San
/ Francisco, in fifteen-round bout at
Madison Square Garden last night.
Dundee had all the better of the first
eleven rounds, and at one time it
looked as though he @ight score a
Knockout. He floored Benjamin
twice in one round, and had him APP
parently groggy In one or two Of the
others.
Benjamin was game enough but did
rot know enough Acting under the
advice of Dan McKetrick and Willie
Lewis, he started his drive too late.
In the last round he was doing his
stuff and had the Scotch Wop back
ing up, but it was too late to over
come the ground he had lost. The
Garden was filled to capacity.
Dundee weighed 129 IA and Benji-
min 1874 IA.
Those who expected Dundee TO
waltz in and finish his younger o.
ponent in the opening round We're
rather puzzled when the light-haircd
youth began to stand him off and
stick over damaging let's ard rights.
Benjamin slipped and fell in this seS-
sion, but was up again like flash,
and sticking over long left jab. 1t
was Benjamin round.
Dundee began to- get in his stuff in
the second, and with series Of left
swings brought the red trickling gen.
tly from Joe's nose. These same left
swings shook up the Westerner and
were followed by two powerful rights
landing almost flush on the jaw that
sent him back toward the ropes.
| There were 70 ks with horns who
blew Election Day blasts whenever
Dundee flashed anything that looked

quently, bat his blows lacked any
damaging power. He drove his lef;
into Dundee's face time after time

them. The fifth was all Dundee. He
cut Benjamin's mouth and made him
back up. Joe was glad when the bell

Dundee'S right ear with a sharp left
hoop.
The seventh was another vicious af-
fair with Benjamin showing to great
or advantage. He took lot of hard
drives to the jaw and pantry, but de-
iiversd some that not only shook up
Dundee but must have reminded him
Of guy named Willie Jackson.
In the eighth Benjamin accepted a
few more hard swipes to the jaw, but
in the last minute of this session gave
Dundee something to think about. One
of Benjamin's hard rights TO the jaw
sent the Scotch Wop reeling back
