GA Berlin Letter Through the Jewish

Correspondence BureauD
In little cafe in Berlin n group of
admirers of Jewish music came togeth-
er to listen to the Jewish composer
Engel. who had just arrived from Mos
COW with his colleagues singers and in
strumentalists. and to hear what they
had to tell MS exilcs from Russia about
what had been happening in that coun-
try during the last few years in the
sphere of Jewish music The arrival
Of this little group from the country
of the dead brought us Il strong blast
of fresh air. We had report of con-
ditions entirely different TO that to
which we have become accustomed. 1t

black masses. IL was not n series

news from Jewish Russia. a ray of light
which suddenly cut through the all
message and 1t told MS that during the
last few years not only had there been
scattered about all over Russia new
Jewish graves. not only had the treas
evergrOwing lists of dead and rivers
of tears. but that great things. too,
had been achieved. and in particular
in the sphere of Jewish mnsic.
1t will come as surprise to many
people. but the period Of Jewish folk
music is drawing to an end. Our music
is throwing Off its swaddling colthes.
In times of suffering in Russia. in

ogniZed by the world at large-they
went on adding to the store, hoping that
there would come day when they
would he able to deliver mp their treas
urcs TO the Jewish people. That mo-
ment has largely now come. Engel told
us all that the Jewish composers had
been doing during the years they spent
in Moscow, Pctrograd and the other
towns of Russia.
The principal task naturally was
working up the great mass of material
beqncathed by Ansky. The vast collec-
tion of folk songs, folk stories and
folk legends which Ansky collected dur
ing many years has served and is serv-
ing still rs the great reservoir, the
source of inspiration. and il will con-
time to be that source for many years
to come. 1t was Ansky who marked
out the soil. and it is his followers
who are cultivating the ground. And
the ground is hearing fruit. How often
our Jewish composers have mourned
the death of the father of the Jewish
music expedition, How much Ansky
could still have done!

Engel told us:

TsHStl ttit Us
while we were travelling with
Ansky through the towns and villages
of Russia we collected Il mass of won
derful folk motives One melody was
missing. one link to complete the chain
of Chassidic music. the melody of the
creator of Chassidism. the melody Of
the Baal Shem Tov. One day; when
the expedition was about to leave the
township of Skwide, in the province of
Kiev, our luggage already packed and
the innkeeper's bill already paid. the
attendant of the Rabbi of Skwide came
running zip and he sang to us the
long sought-for melody of the creator
of Chassidism, the melody of the Banl

notes on a piece of paper and during
the upheaval in Russia. it was lost TO-
gether with many other valuable
things. 1t was not the only loss which
was sustained by the expedition. But
what remained was enough for the Jew

The HUMAN DAIRY
New Life Saving Enterprise

Everyone with grain Of sense
knows that the natural and best food
for the human baby is human milk.
Everybody, even the most foolish,
knows that the mother should nurse
her offspring, yet some mothers do
not have milk enough and others are
SO stingy and selfish that they won't
nurse their babies. All doctors and
statisticians know that artificially fed
babies usually are sickly and often
die, so a new, industry, we can SO
call it, had come into existence in
New York and Chicago, the collecting
and sale of human milk. This life
saving food is worth it's weight In
gold to a starving infant, and all Of
the milk offered finds ready sale.
Mothers with babies who have more
milk than their own baby can con-
sumo, go twice day to the dairy to
be MIXED .or to milk themselves.
They are paid 10c per ounce for their
milk and some mothers can spare as
much as ten or twelve ounces. One
Italian mother took her sick baby to
a clinic for treatment; it was having
stomach trouble and bowel distub-
ance. The physicians found that it
was being overfed and advised the
mother to let 1t nurse less often and
not so much. She went by their ad-
vice; the baby improved. These cir
cumstances came to the notice Of a
visiting nurse, and she persuaded the
mother to go to the Dairy. She did
so, and in one year sold 1868 worth
of food. No telling how many lives
she saved and how many parents were
made happy by seeing their starving
babies made round and plump.
Milk from all kinds Of mothers is
taken; it is made safe by pasteuriza-
ton. It has been found that by add
ing little human milk to cows, goat
or other milk, some unknown element
is given it that causes it to agree with
the babies. We will watch the prog
ress Of the Human Dairy with great
deal of interest.

SOUTHEASTERN FAIR SCHOOL
WITH RAILROAD FARE PAID

YOUNG MEN FROM EACH COUNTY AT FAIR
OCTOBER TO IL.

Atlanta, Ga.-Having in mind the
fact that education of young people of
the country IS the most important
work that can be accomplished, The
Southeastern Fair Association has in
stituted a number of plans and con-
tests to attract the young men and
young women, and one of these is the
Southeastern Fair School.
The particular purpose of this is to
offer to q selected body Of young men
the means for systematic study and
observation under competent instruc-
tors of the agricultural and education
al exhibits at the Fair, and through
these young men to reach back home
the older and the younger men.
Two from each county, between the
ages of Is and IS, are to be selected
by competitive examination They
will purchase round trip tickets to At
lanta and return from their homes, the
amount being refunded them upon
their arrival at the Fair, where they
will be assigned to suitable camping

afternoon will be free to visit the

ACCIDENT MAKES
CAR FINISH AUTO
RACE BACKWARD
Another in Race Somer.
sau1ts Without Serious
Injury to Its Driver.

It would not be anything new to
call auto racing the sport Of Kings,
but really, no king in the olden days
ever imagined anything half so thrill
ing as a modem speedway scene.
Popular interest In high class auto
racing has never waned, and 1t Is
only the real high CLASS stuff that Ia
put on the track at Lakewood Park
during the Southeastern Fairs and the
auto races during the fair this fall
October 6 to Is, will be no excep
ton.
The thousands who witnessed the
events ION this track on July Fourth
will never forget the thrills crowded
into those minutes when the engines
of six high-powered cars roared around
the track, counting death at every
turn, and the series of accidents-hap'
PLY, none of them fatal-which put
most of the cars out of the running,
so that the winner Of the last race
finished the last eight miles on three
tires and a rim.
One OF these accidents furnished an
incident worthy Of reproduction as a
cartoon comedy. A punctured tire
caused car to leave the track, and
before the driver could regain con-
troll he had crashed through the fence
in front Of the grand stand and the
gear became locked in the reverse po'
sition. Sticking to his seat the driver
backed out of the wreckage and across
the line for a finish in fourth place
in the race, the backing car finally
being stopped by collision with the
band stand. This is probably the only
auto race 10 which car ever finished
running backward.
Another racer took several panels
Of fence on the side of the track with
out checking his speed or damaging
! his car, while yet another came near
er death when his car ran into the
bank and did "a triple somersault, IN
full view of the grand stand, but,
luckily, throwing the driver clear OF
the wreck.
| The track at Lakewood in the
Southeastern Fair grounds is one OF
the best In the country. and for the
races during the Fair in October some
Of the greatest speedsters Of the game
have been entered.

THE MOST FATAL DISEASE

According to the Vital Statistics
Department Of the State Board OF
Health, Bright's Disease is the cause
Of most of our deaths, with tubercu-
losis next. Bright's Disease can be
diagnosed by examination Of the urine
in a laboratory very easily, and 1t is
only when this diagnosis is made
early that treatment is worth much,
The Georgia State Board Of Health
does not make such examinations, as
they have never had funds sufficient
to put on this work. DR.. Abercrombie
would like very much to do so, not
only for urine, but to determine the
disease of cancer. 1t is sincerely
hoped that the Legislature will give
enough money to establish such worb
some time in the near future.
