BUFFET
FLATS" NEAR
BEST HOMES

Investigation was begun this week
which will lead to the exposure of n
colony of establishments known as
"buffet flats These houses, which
have replaced the old fashioned open
and notorious houses of i'll repute, are
not confined to any particular locality,
but have invaded the choicest resid-
ence sections of the south side.
They are conducted under semb.
lance of semidecency, and are not ac
cessble to the general public, but
steady stream of customers both night
and day bears mute witness to their
prosperity.
Liquor is always for sale in these
houses, and the women inmates either
live there, or quickly appear after
telephone call from the "landlady".
CATER TO WHITES
In many of these houses women offered
''for sale" arc white, but in the ma
iority of cases they are not. To the
contrary, a large number of "buffet
flats are operated for the pleasure of
white men and black women. Many of
these women are engaged in some sort
Of occupation, and visit the "buffet
flats" to earn extra money. The land
lady keeps a carefully tabulated list of
telephone numbers of girls who are
willing to "work' when "I get some
thing hot from downtown Upon re
eeipt of the phone call the girls report
l.. bofr Ia
Operators of these flats are always on
the outlook for new girls, painting be-
fore them alluring pictures of furs,
diamonds, etc,
Several such establishments on
Grand Blvd, Prairie and Calumet Ave
nues in the 3ra Ward are being
watched Their exact addresses and
names of operators will bo exposed in
a later story.

has acquired property at Twenty
fourth, Street and Emerson Avenue

YESHURUN SYNAGOGUE

The Adath Yeshurun Synagogue,
located for the last seventeen years,
at Twelfth Avenue South and Ninth
Street, is the oldest of the synagogues
in the city, although it has not been
continuously in possession of build
ing of it's own. For long time, it
shared the interests and activities of
the other orthodox synagogues. But
about twelve years ago, the younger
men among its members took the
helm and since then the Adath
Yeshurun has been the most progress
sive and the most active in all that
pertains to the welfare of the young
er generation and the desire to make
Judaism palatable for them. With
the advent of Joseph H. Schanfeld to
the presidency, which took place in
1911, the new management became
insistent in demanding type of
synagogue which, while satisfying
the old, would also have it's appeal to
the young. 1t was at the Adath
Yeshurun that the first Sunday
School on the South Side was formed,

Mr.. Leopold Ehrlich was the first
president and the first Sunday School
met at his home. The first services
were held in Center Hall and the first
Temple was built in 1880 on leased
ground on Fifth Street, near Second
Avenue South where the New York
Life Building now stands. It is in
teresting to know that in the first
choir of this Temple the soprano and
alto roles were sung by Mrs. Eta
Adelsheim and Mrs. Miriam May,
who were then known as Eta Jacobs
and Miriam Jacobs; and the Rabbi
was one H. Friedman who remained
only a short time and was succeeded
by one DR.. Schreiver who remained
also a short time and was followed by
Rabbi Henry Illiowizi, who remained
for eight years. He in turn was sue
ceeded by Rabbi Samuel Marks for
a term of five years and then came
Rabbi Aaron Friedman, who served
seven years, followed by the late
Rabbi Samuel N. Deinard, who served
the congregation so faithfully and
well for period of twenty years, and

The Ladies' Auxiliary
No survey of the history or activ-,
tiles of the Adath Yeshurun would
be complete without mention of the
Ladies Auxiliary which has been
functioning at least since the new re-
gime in the Synagogue management
In addition to helping to ornament
the Synagogue, in many ways,
whether in decorating and furnish
ing the vestry rooms or providing
floral decorations on Shovuoth, the
Auxiliary is highly useful and has
been a staunch financial aid. 1t has
paid the cost in full for installing a
complete heating and plumbing
plant. In addition, it has taken as
it's special function, the paying off of
the mortgage on the Synagogue, a
feat which it succeeded in accom-
plishing September 1st of this year,
so that, thanks to the Ladies' Auxili-
AIRY the Synagogue is now free of en-
cumbrance. The Religious School
and the Sunday Glasses have been
favored from time to time by the

Secretary Of the Synagogue, and Mr..
j. H. Woolpy and the teachers, some
of whom are now among the leading
younger professional men of the City.
The activities that appealed espe-
cially to the young began in full
swing with the advent of the Adath
Yeshurun's English-speaking Rabbi,
g. David Matt, who arrived to offici-
ate at the Holy Days in 1912 and re-
turned on November 1st of that year
to assume permanent charge of the
Synagogue's activities. The work of
the Adath Yeshurun since then needs
little elaboration for readers of the
American Jewish World It's Sab
bath and Festival services, Jewish,
yet modern, it's Hebrew classes and
Sunday School, it's clubs for Adde'S
cents, and organizations for the
young men and women, including the
Bible Glass, the Deborah Society, the
Herzl Library Society and, more re-
Gently, the Young Peoples Forum,
(the last named though meeting at
the Adath Yeshurun includes i'm it's
membership young men and women
from all over the City, these organ
izations have spread the knowledge
and the love of things Jewish
amongst scores and scores of our
young folks.
The Adath Yeshurun has tried to
emphasize Jewish activities outside
of worship and study. Symposia, de-
bates, and oratorical contests on
Jewish topics; celebrations of impor-
tant events such as the publication of
the new Bible translation and The
George Eliot Centennary; memorial
meetings for DR.. Schechter and DR..
Friedlaender; inviting prominent
speakers who chanced to visit the
City and had a Jewish message to
bring, these are some of the activities
the Adath Yeshurun has tried to fos-
ter.
The officers during the last few
years have included: Joseph H.
at various times, I. Rosenberg, Her
man Cotlow, J. H. Woolpy and the
present incumbent, Nose j. Rosen-
stein (the late Michael Jeffery and
Phillip Resler also were Vice-Presi-
dents Tor several termS); Mlchael ..

late Aaron l.. Gruenberg) Record

DIR. BLACK HAS PLANS FOR

$4,000 to be paid outright and S14,-
3114s to be paid in case the state will
make similar appropriation. The bill al
so provides that fer the following five
years Connecticut shall receive s19,311.4S
annually; 5000 of this to be paid out
right and $14,31l.4S to be matched by
