on TO the new opportunity in thrills The
taXls had put the guiding" business on
the blink. Nobody, il seemed, wanted to
visit gilded haunts of peacock pleasure
any more. So the guides and the personal
conductors hardened attentvely to the cry
OF the pretty ladies': I'VE want tough
guy! We want an Apache"
They got him-at 100 francs an hour.
That is the standard price in Montmartre
cafes which make a speciality of Apaches
Tor hire. In the case of particularly tough
Apaches, however or an Apache with an
especially bloody record of crime, the price
is higher The Cafe of the Dead Mans
Thumb and the Cafe Of the Green Snake
are typical examples of the many where
thrills are sold like so much caviare.
Here, any night from ten to two the
thrlllhunters come for contact with the

It's thrilling the smart women of Paris
that Is, the women who find the ordinary
thrills of life too passe for words. They
are the rich aristocrats who have kicked
over their heritage of convention, the
restless wives of money-mad husbands,
the high-steppers OF upper Bohemia, the
spendthrift American visitors, all the
fragile and discontented feminine crew
who have only one occupation-thrill-hunt

Have you been invited to join the Jim Casey or the

safest and quickest chance for fabulous wealth within
the reach Of man?
Maybe you've recently received invitation thru the
mails but you have failed to grasp the idea conveyed
in the advertisements that these pools he master
key which unlocks the secret chamber of success"
Maybe you don't appreciate the fact that John d. Rock
efeller has made billion out of oil and is still going
strong?
The country is being flooded with craftsmanship itera-
ture painting the untold riches that st await investors
IN Aoil pools"
Before you send In your money Gentle Reader try out
the following acid test that the writer Of this editorial
followed the other day.
Answering Of these invitations he wrote the chief
promoter:
First, give the Of 10 persons for whom your
schemes have made money In the past
Second, furnish mo a sworn statement showing how
much Of your money and that Of your immediate
associates you have put In your enterprise
Third. furnish statements from reputable bankers
and business that you have made your money hon.
estly, II you have made any.
Fourth II your oil pool is fabulously rich. why

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-07-07
MALIGNING THE IMMIGRANT

The Minneapolis Journal recently
took fling at the immigrants, an
unfortunate habit which it seems to
be developing, when it quoted let
ter published in the Chicago Tribune.
The letter reads in part, 81 was dis
appointed in this country, as most
foreigners are during the first year.
When the United States entered the
war, claimed exemption as an alien,
as I thought strongly of going back
to Poland. However, I have since
made good and am about to finish a
medical course. took out my
first papers in 1920. Will have
to wait five years for my final
papers?"
In this editorial, entitled "The
Alien in the Raw" the Journal insin-
yates that the particular immigrant,
who describes himself as a Polish
Jew, is Stacker, parasite on Amer
lea and unworthy to be admitted to
citizenship.
Let us analyze this letter. 1t is
surely not our intention to defend the
Stacker nor to condone those who
come to America to exploit it, to take
and not to give. But what is so pro-
vocative in 81 claimed exemption as
an Alien, as thought strongly of
