the room of it's worst trouble maker;
the eighth grade teacher gave him his
diploma for the same reason. A less
conscientious scholar than Hayim
would have bribed the boy to MEM
orize a set speech and assigned He
brew passages, declared him ready
for barmitzvah and invited all of his
friends to the feast Bennie's mother
was aching to prepare for her young
est born. But Hayim could not
cheaper the Torah to feed his own
vanity. He declared that Bennie
would never know enough Hebrew to
be barmitzvah and forbade his wife
and daughters to mention the subject
again in his presence.
"What have I done? How have |
sinned?" the wretched father asked
himself again and again as he waited
on customers in his tiny store or
prayed long and fervently in the
little schul near Rivington Street.
"Had I been denied Kaddish l
would have said it was the will of
God, Blessed be He. and tried to for
get my sorrow. But that l should
have a son who turns out to be worse
than a COY with his laughter at holy
things and his wild ways!" Hayim
felt that he would never be able to
understand the ways of Providence.
The lost barmitzvah party may be
said to have been the last straw
which broke the family camePs back.
Shortly afterwards Bennie dropped
out of the domestic circle and if his
mother grieved for him she dared
make no lament since Hayim had
told her with unusual harshness that
his son was dead to him.
s'Let him go on the streets with his
goyisha friends and shoot craps and
get himself put in JAIL" he told her.
"I am through with him and if he
gets arrested he don't need to ask
me to get him out" An idle threat
since Hayim secretly believed his son
too diabolically clever in the ways of
the world to find himself again in
the clutches of the law. While the
truth of the matter was, Bennie was
anything but criminal in his tastes;
Just an over-active youngster who
had been repressed instead of direct
ed, wild colt who had jumped the
bars of the paternal pasture.
Haydn aged rapidly in the next
seven years; two of his daughters
were married; the eldest kept house
for him after the mother died. She
was a rather sharp-tongued young
woman who had never quite forgiven
her sisters for passing under the
chuppah before her; now that her
matrimonial chances grew slighter
and slighter she did not hesitate to
berate her father daily, telling him
that if he would only do his share to
support himself, she might spend her
salary on clothes and hats and other
matrimonial lures. For Hayim had
sold his shop-a poor bargain he
made of the sale. of course!-and now
spent most of his waking time in the
dusty little schul near Rivington
street.
"a fine lot all your reading and
Torah will do you," jeered his daugh-.
ter. "It never got you anywheres,
did it, and you drove poor Bennie
awav from home with all your Yid-
dishkeit." She was feeling particu-
larly bitter that day and thought to
irritate her father by praising the
prodigal son.
But Hayim did not answer her until
he had exchanged his skull hat for

Jews across the sea. Hayim shook
his head when one after another OF
the more influential members declared
it impossible to raise the money dur
ing the coming year.
All except Baruch-for his tene-
ments had gone up considerably IN
value since the war and the rents ne
collected every month made him feel
little short of a millionaire.
Nonsense, nonsense!" he puffed
Importantly. "It's always bad year
for schnorrers and always a good
year for them with their hearts in
the right places. I'll just go around
with a list and I'll be on the top like
usual and God help the members
that don't give like they ought. I'll
give five hundred dollars this min
ute," he announced grandly and took
out his fountain pen to record the
fact.
When Hayim's turn came he mum
bled his contribution of ten dollars
with a shamed face and heavy
heart 'It's more to me than his five
hundred dollars is to him." he tried
to comfort himself on the way home.
But Just the same it hurt him that he
could do so little for the schul and
had been for so many years his real
home. 'In America nothing but
money counts and l amt got it-only
know little Torah," he told him
self with bitter clarity.
It was on Simchas Torah that Bar
uch gave the speech of his life. He
belonged to so many lodges and ben
evolent orders and burying societies
by this time that he was really an
accomplished orator; and on this oc-
casion he outdid himself.
"Gentlemen," he told the beshawled,
bearded members of the little shul,
"today I got to make you another ap-
peal They say you can't squeeze
blood out Of a turnip but you can it
you tell the facts. And the facts is,
gentlemen, that we got exactly one
thousand dollars to raise yet for our
mortgage. Today is Simchas Torah,
gentlemen, and it aint enough to go
around kissing the Torah if you don't
provide for it right. It's like me
telling my wife I love her and for
getting to buy her pair of shoes.
(Laughter). Today's the day for
showing what you think of the Torah,
and don't you forget it. We all got
to raise our pledges and I'm going
to read the roll right now-your
names like they come in the alpha
bet" He cleared his throat, "Hayim
Abramowitz," he began, then seemed
about to hurry on, for he knew some
thing Of Hayim's means and did not
want to put him to shame in public.
Haydn rose in his place, shabby
pathetic figure. "You can stop your
list right there" he said quietly. I'm
going to give the whole one thousand
dollars"
"Meshugga" passed from lip to
lip.
Hayim squared his bowed shoul-
ders. "I got a check for it right in
my pockets now and know what I'm
doing," he spoke a little less meekly
than usual. "I aint a schnorrer yet
and I want to go down the biggest
one in the schul." He threw his head
back proudly. "My son, Bennie, he
wants me to give a present to the
schul in his name"
"Bennie! That bum Bennie!" the
incredulous murmur grew but Hayim

DENVER SALT LAKE
SEEKING Bic LOAN
TO TUNNEL ROCKIES
Receivers of Colorado Railroad
Apply to Interstate Commerce
Commission for $6,5O0,0OO.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Finance ap.
pfcatlons filed Monday with the inter
state commerce commission included
an application from the receivers OF
the Denver & Salt Lake railroad for q
government loan of $e,5OO,OO0.
The Denver & Salt Lake in it's ap-
plication announced it intended to use
its loan, if granted, to construct a
six mile tunnel through the Rocky
mountain divide which the line crosses
III miles west of Denver.
The commission announced it had
authorized the Illinois Central to as
sumo liability for the payment of
S3,225.OOO in equipment trust certifi-
Gates which have been sold to purchase
new rolling stock
The receivers of the Denver & Salt
Lake railroad in arguing for grant of
the loan declared the proposed tunnel
would eliminate grave and serious
difficulties which they now have to
face IN operating railroad which
climbs to II 600 feet above sea level
The tunnel, they said, would allow
them to reduce the highest elevation
on the railroad to $3.50 feet and
would eliminate p miles of 4 per cent
grade over which their locomotives
now have to climb in winter with
rotary snow plows in front every day
to maintain operations.
If the money is granted the receiv
ers added. the line can be completed
to its projected terminus at Salt Lake
City and coal field, estimated to
contain 80 billion tons of bituminous
coal can be opened.
The receivers estimated that the
lower operating charges and the in
creased efficiency attained by long
tunnel at the summit would result i'm
mediately in an increase of 200 per
cent in the traffic. Also a very large
area of Colorado now without railroad
service, and much of it government
land. the application said, would be
made available for settlement

Lewistown, Feb. 27.-Authentic
information from Buffalo is to the
effect that oil was really struck
Saturday evening in the Buffalo
Dome Oh! company's we'll on the
structure, six miles northwest of
Buffalo.
The sand was just reached and,
owing to the water in the hole, it
was necessary to stop drilling at
once to case off the water.
Persons coming in from Buffalo
state that the oil rose in the cas-
ing about 500 feet. There was no
way to care for any production
and the we'll was capped.
The officials of the company at
Missoula were notified and it is
expected the well will be completed
quickly. The oil was struck at
depth of $40. The well is on the

Red Leaders e: Frightened

Moscow, Feb. 27.-(By The Asso.

arranged, then from the Russian point
of view. the conference has only the
moral value of recognition OF the pres

The basic reason for this attitude
is the famine. 1t is only within the
last few weeks that the leaders of the
soviet have realizd just how dsperate
is the food situation. So long, as the
famine starves to death only the peas

vests. more or less scant, may relieve
the situation.
What may happen between now and
the summer months is troubling the
soviet leaders. If a big loan is ar
ranged the situation can be saved If
not, the hundred million or so dollars
in the soviet treasury will have to 20
for food, and even that may not save
the country from anarchy.
Soviet Is Frightened
The frightened attitude of the So
Wet is shown by it's daily changing at
titude towards the American relief
administration. When the Americans
first came. in September. they were
received with scant courtesy. but with
each month they have been better
treated. until now they are not permit
ted. but asked, to direct food ship
ments.
If the Moscow leaders do not obtain
outside help, they realize their power

shown its independence and has re-
fused to let amy of it's food be drained |
off to Moscow or for the red army
stationed elsewhere.

eminent, which during the war confis-
Gated 1000 German patents, has de-

is made that the Japanese attitude is

l think the young man loves you,
or he would not want to be engaged

telling you to go with other men
and asking for the privilege of go

love each other so much that you
are willing to give up that privilege
it does not seem to me you ought TO
