we should have to spend it without
even a roof over our heads. But
mother stopped wringing her hands
and wailing and she stood up and
took the candle-sticks out of her
shawl and put them on the bench
beside her.
What are you going to do?" asked
Max's mother.
''It is Shabbos here, too," my moth
er answered, and something that I
could not understand. then, seemed
to wipe the lines of trouble and fright
out of her face.
Mother had had the candle-sticks
ready for Shabbos and they were
bright and shining, with the candles
all ready to be lighted. Now she set
them on a bench, and spread her
white apron beneath them for table
cloth. One of the rich men from up
town had sent many boys to the Com
mon earlier in the afternoon with
bottles of milk and great baskets of
bread; mother had kept our share of
the food Taking the loaf, she told
me to fill the kiddush cup with milk
and this and the bread she also placed
upon the table which she had set for
us under the starry sky. Then she
put the baby into my arms, lit the
candles, covered her face and recited
the blessing. When she, turned to
take Esther again, her eyes were shin
ing like the candles and l did not feel
frightened any more.
There were other Jewish women
who had saved their candle-sticks, and
those who had not, borrowed bit
of candle and fastened the Sabbath
lights on piece of board, and blessed
them, after they saw what my mother
had done And so, by the time all
the stars came out, there were many
little twinkling lights shining upon
the Common to tell God that we were
keeping the Sabbath.
| remember little else of the great
fire, except that father broke down
for a while, when he saw the bread,
and the kiddush cup of milk and the
candles But he recited the blessing
for the milk and bread and he blessed
us children just as though we were
at home 1t was not until years after
that he told me what that night had
meant to him and how mothers Shah
bos table had given him courage to
begin all over again.
And though I was but boy at the
time,-more unhappy than you can
imagine because I could not go to
my picnic ION Sunday, too, felt
something of the splendid courage and
strength of my mother, and through
her, learned a little of the courage
and strength of all mothers, all over
the world That is why, I think,
am not utterly discouraged when great
dangers threaten to wipe out our Jew
ish people, just as the flames swept
over our quarter in my boyhood. For
no matter what desolation comes to
our people, there will always be Jew
ish mothers to kindle the Shabbos
lights that will shine like stars in the
darkness.

THE SABBATH VISIT

A poem for your little brother or
sister to recite, by Jessie Sampler.
l always go to Grandpa's house
On Sabbaths-I am never missing
And stand as quiet as a mouse
To get my Sabbath blessing.

And touch it's edges, frilled and
beaded,
And Grandpa holds holy book,
And lets me try to read it. tss

A LIGHT IN THE
DARKNESS
A Story by EIma EhrIich lie

A Story by EIma EhrIich Levinger
It happened some years ago, the
story that want to tell you, and my
little brothers and sister have long
forgotten that strange Friday night
under the stars; but I, who was the
oldest, almost ready to be Barmitz-
yah, remember it all as plainly as
though it had happened only yester-.
day.
Sometimes I think that there is
nothing quite SO beautiful as an early
spring day in New England. That
May afternoon I stirred restlessly in
my seat and found it hard to keep
my mind on my geography lesson,
after having glanced through the open
windows at the new green of the
trees. I could hear the chirping of
the birds as they built their nests
and smell the newly upturned soil
from our tiny plots in the school gar
den. The bunch of violets and spring
beauties in the vase on teachers table
reminded me that "the day after to-
seemed just thenD father had prom
ised to take my little brother, my
chum Max, and me, for long troll

might hunt for spring flowers, play
ball and eat our lunch under the trees.
1t was to be my first picnic, for times
had not been prosperous with us since
our coming to America, and father
found it very hard to make the pay
ments on his little store and to buy
shoes and clothing for all us chill
dren. But only last week, he had

shop behind which we lived in two
rooms. Very little rooms they were,
and not well furnished, either but
mother always kept them neat and
clean and we were very proud of the
home that belonged to us at last. l thot
of all this while staring at the map
of Massachusetts l had just drawn.
With sigh of impatience, I began to
erase the outline, wishing that I had
come to live in State that was
easier to draw,-say Pennsylvania,
without jagged coast line. 1t seem
ed that 1 would never get that map
right I know I was not paying much
attention to my lesson, so happy was
I in the thought that since father
was out of debt, he might be will
ing to buy me gold watch and chain
for my Barmitzvah; but I think I
was even happier just because I was
going to my first picnic on Sunday
that seemed to be the most wonder
full thing of all.
We were reciting our geography
lesson now-at least some of the 9th
ers were, for l hadn't learned thing
when we heard the fire-engines tear
ing down the street. | looked at Max
ond ho looked Sad1y hack at me- We
were always sorry for people whose
homes and stores burned down; but
we felt that as long as there had
to be fire, we might as we'll en-
joy it. The other boys wriggled too,
but teacher pretended not to see them;
perhaps she didn't know how boy
hates to miss fire. So she went
right on with the lesson, but after
half-an-hour, when the engines still
kept coming, even she became little

could hardly wait until the session
was over, for we knew it must be
a tremendous fire, and we wanted to
find out where it was as quickly as
we could.
Yes, we found out soon enough.

Without waiting for another word
Max and | raced home. :. but we
had no home any more. The whole Jew
ish quarter had been swept by the
flames. I could only recognize our
house by the disfgured, half-melted
iron lamp-post in front of it. Nothing
was left but ugly black walls, jagged
and sharp at the somehow, they
made me think of that broken coast
line of Massachusetts / had been try
ing to draw at school. I stood in the
street where we had lived and stared
at the ruins. Just then | didn't think
how hard it would be for father to
begin all over again, or even wonder
where mother and the children were;
1 just kept saying to myself that now
we couldn't have our picnic on Sun
day, and if I hadn't been such a big
boy, and if Max hadn't been there,
I think E should have cried a little.
There had been time, it seemed, to
save a few of the household things,
and these the homeless folks had car
ried to the Common, We found my
mother and Max's there, with great
many other women, trying to keep

each other what they had lost and
what they had saved in the disaster.
1t all reminded me of story I had
read in my School Reader, about a.
shipwreck, and how the people, saved
from the sea had huddled together on
a desert island, waiting to be rescued
by passing ship. The Commons
seemed to be an island that day, and
the women and children, SO many
frightened survivors Of a terrible ac-
cident at sea. There were no men
there to look after them; they were
doing their best to stop the fire in
other neighborhoods, where the fire.
men almost had it under control.
Mother began to cry and wall when
she saw me, and to tell me in her
broken English that there was, no
insurance on the store and that we
should be beggars, and that she had no
time to save her best dishes, or her
one Shabbos dress. 1t was hard to
understand her, for one moment she
would be blaming the firemen for fore.
ing her to leave before she could get
more of her things together, and the
next she would tell me, how thank
full she was that nothing had happen
ed to the children and that she had
managed to save grandfather's silver
kiddush cup and the two silver can
dlesticks She had them wrapped up
in her shawl now, and they lay in her
lap as she sat on a bench holding my
baby sister. Esther was laughing and
growing and seemed to like the crowds
and excitement; she was always
good baby, remember and never
afraid of strangers.
1t grew dark and I heard Max's
mother beginning to cry all over again,
because Shabbos was coming IN and

Introducing Pure Bred
Steck Into Mexico

Chicago, Oct. 3-Introductien OF
pure bred American live stock Tor
the rehabilitation Of Mexican agri-
culture has begun in a systematic
way according to Guy II. Hall,
director of the National Institute
of Progressive Farming. B. F. Alb
bott, a representative Of the Mex
Jean Auxiliary of the Livestock
Registry Associations CT the Unit
ed States at Mexico City, writes
that Mexico Is stocking her. vast
plains with purebreds, which prob
ably will give Mexico wealth
greater than her mines and oil
wells, and add to the worlds food
supply.
Mexico is potential market
for American farm machinery, but
in the matter Of tractors there is an
anomaly said Mr.. Abbott. There
are a number of tractors in Mex
ico-Pancho Villa has tWo-but il
is costly to operate them. This
is because the price of gasoline is
so high With the greatest oil fields
in the world, Mexico is without re-
fineries and gasoline is imported.
Government officials pledged
that custom house difficulties at the
border would be eliminated and
freight rate reduced on all pure
breds coming in under the guar
antee of the registry association
This includes the acceptance as
final by. Mexican authorities OF
health certificate from American
veterinarians.
f. w. Harding, secretary of the
registry associations and presiden,
iof the American Shorthorn Breed
ers' Association, who is in active
charge of the export field for the
associations, is optimistic over
Mexico as a market for pure
breds, tractors and farm machin-
cry. and as. a. market for. pure
