LET no day pass on which you do

organization at Y. M. H. A. club
rooms Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Katz, director in the Mil
waukee section, Council Of Jewish
Women, first proposed the resolution
at the convention Of Wisconsin Fed
Grafton of Women's clubs at Wausau,
to which she was a delegate. Then
she was invited to propose the resolu
ton to the Service Star Legion, meet
ing in Chicago recently and the en-
thusiasm was so great that it was de-
termined to place it before various or
CARNATIONS throughout the country.
Must Adopt Government.
"Americanism" was the dominant
theme of Mrs. KATE talk. "In the years
before we entered the war we learned
to criticize our government" she said.
''What is the government but big
business, run by the people, for, and
Of the people? We elect one man to
run it for four years. Don't knock
him, for in knocking him you knock
Yourself. We have the most wonder
full republic in the world, which has
been sustained by the most wonderful
document in the world. Our consti-
tuition was written one hundred and
fifty years ago, with the guidance of
the Almighty Father and the men who
were responsible for it were wise
men. Don't just pick out the mis-
takes of our government, but think of
the constructive accomplishments. 1t
is wonderful what we have here when
other countries are suffering We
have a wonderful living here and we
are not so hungry in body that we
cannot look Nor mental food. Avoid
any political party which questions the
wisdom and the goodness of the United
States. The war taught US to ignore
pettiness, now let US sustain that at
titude The United States stands as
the leader of che entire world-let's
boost our country"
Mrs Katz elaborated specially up
on the Jewish woman's position today,
pointing out that by her training
through the ages as a Citizen of the
world she is especially fitted to par
ticipate in the movements current now.
Tells Jews Status.
The passage in Proverbs which sets
the price of a virtuous woman far
above rubies was quoted by Mrs. Katz,
as an illustration of the Jewish wom-
ans enviable position of excellent
housewife, mother and helpmate. She
continued with a resume of the Jews
position since ancient times when he
has been forced to wander from
country to country. Her most striking
statement and one which she declared
has been proved by modern investiga-
ton, was made in connection with her
description of the Jews status follow
ing the Spanish Inquisition when
groups of Jews, publicly embracing the
Catholic faith, were secretly true to
the religion of their forefathers.
Christopher Columbus came from such
family, she said, and together with
four other young men similarly plac
ed, sailed from Spain, to find the
Isle of Promise.
"And they found the Isle of Prom
ise'" Mrs. Katz declared. "What is
America if not a wonderful Isle of
Promise that has made good its prom
Use? 1t was one of our people who
first stepped on the savage mans land,
and it was one of our people, Rich
ard Morris of Philadelphia, who gave

again that the Jew, by reason of his
