ECLIPSE OF SUN.
Moon to Hide Face of Old Sol on
September 81,

On September u there will be
a total eclipse of the sun, to which
the astronomers of the world are
looking forward with intense III
terest.
Everyone knows. of course,
that an eclipse results from the
intrusion OF the moon between
the sun and the earth, which cuts
off the light of the sun. 1t is an
interesting and important coinci-
dence that, although the diane
ter Of the sun is about 400 times
as large as that of the moon, the
sun is also about 400 times as far
away as the mOOn-sOmetimes a
little more, sometimes little less.
The result to the eye is that the
sun and the moon appear to be OF
about the same size in the sky.
Mathematical astronomers have
SO long and SO closely studied the
motion of the moon and the sun,
or rather the motion of the earth
round the sun, that they can pre-
dict eclipses with extraordinary
accuracy. They can tell the width
OF the zone OF totality, which OH
the average is about $50 miles /;
the precise second of time when
an eclipse will begin and end at
any given place, and how many
seconds the totality will last. Nc
total eclipse can last more than
eight minutes. Some eclipses last
hardly more than three minutes.
The shadow of the moon sweeps
along its path with the frighttul
velocity of something like thou
sand miles an hour.
Astronomers have learned many
other curious things about cclip-
SEES, as for example, that, if there
has been an eclipse Oh a particu-
lar day, there will be another Is
years and IL days later. 1t may
not be total and it will not be in
the same place, but i, will be an
eclipse. Another remarkable fact
IS that an eclipse OF particular
kind repeats itself 52l years later
OH the same day OF the same
month.
Everyone who has seen a total
eclipse of the sun recognizes it as
one of the most impressive and
awe-inspiring spectacles that can
be conceived. No wonder then that
tc the superstitiOus and unlearn-
eel peoples of ancient times an
eclipse portended frightful things.
Ii it had been II frequent occur
renee, the fear might have worn
off, but on the average more than
three centuries and half elapsed
between two opportunities to see
an eclipse at the same place. The
interval is often much longer.
There was an eclipse visible in
London in Ills, but there had
been no other eclipse visible there
for more than 600 years, and there
has been none since. -

end the coal strike. 1t was the most
striking demonstration of APPLIED
RELIGION that has been noted for
some few centuries. For once quib-
bles over words and shades of mean
ings were forgotten and even hate
was relegated for the moment to the
limbo of forgetfulness and the for
. ward-looking church agencies labored
together in the vineyard of Social
Justice. There can be no question
that in the degree that such types of
fifteenth century theological minds as
the Baptist Fundamentalists with
their intolerance, superstition and
nursery beliefs are pushed into the
background with Billy Sunday, Billy
Bryan, Josephus Daniels, DR.. Straton,
in that degree will religion advance
and take it's place as real force and
influence in the lives of men.
The aggressive leaders of religious
groups are taking their position with
the laboring man. When I saw this

Protestant and Jewish churchmen are
partisanly interested in the laboring

Society, availing itself Of the summer
courses at the Universities has been
arranging lectures at various Univer-
sites on Jewish ideals and problems.
The most recent step in making use
of the summer for Jewish educational
work is that of the Intercollegiate
Menorah Society, which announces a
course of lectures on Jewish history,
literature and problems, during July
and August for students, teachers and
qualified laymen. This new undertake
ing of the Menorah is additional evil
dence of it's earnest desire to pro-
mote Jewish studies. We cannot over
estimate the Importance of the Memo
rah Society, instituted by Jewish col
lege men, and for them. To the ex-
tent that the college-bred youth be-
comes acquainted with Jewish needs
and problems, will their Jewish Lead
ership in the years to come be pro-
ductive of good. The Menorah Socie-
ty thus earns additional commenda-
tion for this, it's latest activity.

THE ZIONIST CONVENTION

1t may be too early to evaluate the
Twenty-ffth Zionist Convention held
in Philadelphia this week, yet from
the reports it is clear that the gather
ing of the Zionist clans proved con-
structive. Peace between the fac
tions in American Zionism, if not in
sight, will at least be- earnestly striv-
en- for. The Ruttenberg Plan for har-
Messing the Jordan has been given a
mighty impetus. The true status of
Zionism as a matter of international
moment was pointed out. The resolu-
tion addressed to the British govern
ment and the appeal to France, Italy
and the Vatican not to lay stumbling
blocks in the path of the Mandate are
self-respecting, dignified and un-
equivocal. Zionism is clearly on a
plane higher than in the early days.
Recognition of this fact as reflected
in more generous support of Zionist
funds and greater effort on the part
of all Jews, is now eminently in order.
We have no doubt that the very
forces responsible for the murder of
Walter Rathenau will ultimately rea-
lize that in his death Germany lost
it's best friend, just as the Confeder-
ate States realized, in time, that
Abraham Lincoln's death was the
greatest tragedy in their reconstruc-
tion. History repeats itself.

ing class plus the power of the pro-
gressive church agencies that Capital
has force not to be reckoned lightly.
In other words, Rabbis, Ministers and
Priests are taking their religion out
of their prayer books and applying
it to actual living conditions.
It is interesting to note in this con-
nection that despite the earnest ap-
peal that was made, not recently but
months ago by certain clergymen for
some earnest effort to settle the coal
strike that the Administration appar-
emily did little or nothing. Now that
forty-four men were murdered in just
about the same manner as the Huns
murdered defenseless men in the war,
there is an electrifcation of the
Washington atmosphere and we hear
at this writing that serious attempt
will be made to end the strike. Rabbi
Stephen Wise in response to the chal-
lenge by the Mine Operators of West
Virginia named three men as COM
mission to go to West Virginia and
report on the conditions there. Father
Ryan was one; Rabbi Goldstein, well
known social worker and associate of
DR.. Wise, is another; the third is a
Protestant. All men interested in the
welfare of society will pray for a
quick determination of this class
struggle.
There is no doubt but Harvard is
very much in earnest in her determina-

WOMEN AS PREACHERS

Everybody knows, of course, either
from personal experience or at least
from hearsay, that women, especial
~ married women, have been en-
doWed by nature with special ability
and skill in the line of lecturing. It
has as yet never been ascertained
however, how far superior women are
to men as preachers. Yet, in the line
OF preaching also women, at least
Jewish women, may soon have the op-
portunity of placing mere men into
complete obscurity. For, the Central
Conference of American Rabbis.
whose annual convention opens this
week at Cape May, New Jersey, will
discuss the question of training and
ordaining women as rabbis.
just what prompted the Central
Conference of American Rabbis to
take up the discussion on the uues-
ton of feminizing the pulpit we are
not in position to say. A number of
conjectures are possible. The lack of
candidates for the rabbinate NAV be
one reason for this discussion. Those
who are responsible for this discus
sion may feel that women are pos
sessed of a greater measure of ideal
ism and that, therefore, if the rab-
binical course were open to them, the
present lack of rabbinical material
will soon be eliminated. Another pos
slble conjecture is that the members
of the Central Conference realize the
superiority of women along the lines
of preaching and teaching and that,
with the unselfshness and the free
dom from jealousy which is character
istic of all members of the cloth, they
the willing to step modestly into the
background and let their congrega-
tions receive the benefits which would
accrue to them from the superior
services that feminine rabbis could
render them. 1t is also possible that
the poor attendance at divine services
prompted consideration of that
question. For, it cannot be denied
that the attractive power of our
divine services would be greatly en-
HANGED by the pulpit occupancy of
Lady rabbis. Something may depend,

THE IRON RANGE COMMUNITIES


The oftener one visits the Jewish
Communities on the Iron Range
Chisholm, Eveleth, Hibbing and Vir-
ginia, the more one is impressed by
their possibilities, if a plan can be
worked out to coordinate their activi-
ties. AS it stands, each has a splen-
did nucleus for effective work. The
War Relief Drive and the Keren
Hayesod campaign succeeded in each
city beyond general expectations.
Each has a Congregation as avail
able (and proportionately, as much
use) as the average Synagogue.
Each city also has some provisions
for Jewish instruction.
What is needed now is co-ordina-
tion of activity. Aside from the So
cial intercourse and an occasional re-
union at a Simchah or at a mass
meeting or the Bnai Birth meeting,
these communities, though so close
in location, do not work together.
And yet, with the proper direction,
the Iron Range could become an ac-

tive, energetic and thriving Jewish
center. Some plan should be worked
out by the Jews on the Range to
unite in securing Circuit Rabbi, or
"Kreis Rabbiner," supported jointly
by the four cities and looking after
their religious needs. That will make
possible services with a sermon in
English at least once month in each
city, and the religious school instruc-
tion could be standardized and inten-
sifed.
Who on the Iron Range will take
the initiative in this matter?

SUMMER STUDIES

There is an ever-growing tendency
on the part of educators to make
fuller use of the summer. Granting
that vacation is necessary, many edu-
Gators claim that the holiday from
mid-June to mid-September is entirely
too long to be spent only in play.
Hence the growing popularity of
summer courses. Jewish education
has also been following suit, though
laggingly. The Jewish Chautauqua

CneSe raDD1S. But the authorities OF
the Rabbinical College would undoubt
edly make good looks the first re-
quirement of admission on the part
of the candidates. Congregations also
would undoubtedly change their pres.
ent requirements in the selection OF
rabbis and, instead of insisting, as
they now do, upon such qualifications
as eloquence and knack for "good
mixing" they would require on the
part of the women rabbis youth and
good looks. More particular congre-
cations would even specify whether
they preferred blondes or brunettes.
In case the Conference of Ameri-
can Rabbis decides in favor of admit.
ting women to the rabbinate, few
details may, to be sure, have to be
considered by the committee on re-
sponse. Thus. the question of bobbed
hair and the use of rouge and lip
sticks on the part of women rabbis
for the promotion of spirituality in
divine services may have to be passed
on by that committee. Special meth
DDS of vamping male members of the
congregation in the synagogue may
also have to be determined upon. But
these are, after all, only details and
they could easily be worked out. The
main point is that women rabbis
could readily fill our synagogues at
divine services and that, after all, as
everyone knows, is the main consid-
Grafton in Judaism.
1t is not to be assumed, of course,
that the question of admitting women
to the rabbinate could be decided af-
frmatively without opposition. There
will undoubtedly be found among the
members of the Central Conference
some old fogies who will oppose the
measure. For, it is we'll known fact
that there are some rabbis, and few
laymen, too, who are so unprogressive
and so inappreciative of the greater
measure of spirituality that manifests
itself in congregational life, that they
fail to comprehend the great benefits
that have accrued to Judaism from
the Termination of the modern syna-
gogue. And, if these cannot even
appreciate the advantage and the de-
gree of progress in the Termination
of the pew, how can they be expected
to possess the broad vision and the
mentality to appreciate the feminiza-
tion Of the pulpit?
But, whatever becomes Of the pro-
posed measure to admit women to the
rabbinate, one thing is certain. Flu
ture historians will not fail to recog-
nize the progressive spirit of the Cen
tral Conference of American Rabbis
and to give it's members full credit for
keeping not only abreast of the times
but even ahead of the times. The
unselfshness of those members, too,
will undoubtedly receive full credit,
unless it can be shown that the meas
ure was proposed by the married rab-
bis in the Conference as matter of
protection. For, it is quite pos
sible that these were prompted to
propose such measure in order to di-
vert the lecturing powers and pro-
pensities of the feminine members of
their families into the channels of
In the meantime, it is to be sincere
ly hoped that, owing to the fact that
there is at present scarcity of en-
ployment in fields other than those
of the rabbinate and that jobs are
hard to get, Presidents of Jewish
Congregations will not discharge
their present rabbis in the hope of
securing the Superior services of the
