Well, there is some consolation In
knowing that we Jews are not respOn-

is beginning n series of articles on the
Jewish question and in the first one,
written by Roland Dixon, 1 find this
statement:
"There seems little doubt that the
origin of what is miscalled the Jewish
nose is to be found among the ancient
non-Semitic population of the Asia
Minor plateaus. 1t was as strikingiy
characteristic of the Hittites of the sec
oud millennium Il. C. as it is of many OF
the Semitic and nonSemitic peoples
around the margins of Anatolia today.

to believe that previous to the Disper-

THE JEWISH FLAG
It's Antiquity.

Banners have flown over nations that
have fiourislied and decayed and have
been forgotten, but the flag. popularity
called '.the flag of the jew" still lives.
The Zionists, especially, look upon this
flag with especial Significance, for it
typifies to them the unity and national
ism that once was theirs, but which
has vanished.
Presumably, i'm the thirteenth century
before Christ, the first rude forms OF
this flag came into existence. When
the Hebrews were held against their
will in Egypt by Pharaoh the memories
of freedom and Independence that had
been theirs before the days of bondage,
led them to unity their hopes and as
pirations in banner. The flag was
kept hidden until the mighty throng
suddenly arose under the leadership of
Moses and marched away back to their
own land The description of that tre-
mentious movement Is all too vague III
history. This dramatic leave taking
is dismissed with scant chronicles, so
mat nDWutTt utVS nag hSV
at the head of the columns receive its
due.
The flag was not accepted as tho pow
err that it has since become until the
days of David This king. who is the
first vitally human being whom his
tory recognizes had n mysterious coat
of-arms upon his shield. The double
triangle may have meant something
portentous 1t may have meant nothing
in particular. At any rate, the mighty
king wore 1t, anaSmade it loved by his
people and feared ny his enemies. The
shepherd boy who rose to be the most
commanding figure of his century STIR
red the Imagination and the devotion of
his nation exactly as he has stirred
readers of the Old Testament to this
day.
1t is easy of comprehension. then,
why his shield should have become
transferred to the national flag. Some
great tribute must be paid him, so when
he was gone and his greatest achieve
ments became greater in the telling, the
double triangle appeared upon the flag.
2 later, the blue stripes were added. The
priests in the temple ut Jerusalem wore
ropes of bright blue wool. SO the color
was used because it meant to the peo-
pie strength, purity it typified to them
their nationality, powerful in spiritual
things.

"Why be half-hearted in any one

as work When you play. you should

tainly thoroughness should be given
first consideration, and that naturally
involves study, concentration, determ-

RADIO EARNING
MONEY IN
NAVY
Though Nome Competitive With
Private Firms It Nets $780,
900 in Year.

While the naval radio service
avoids commercial broadcasting, so
1ar as Is possible, that business in
1S21 brought return OF nearly
$780, 200 to the Government, Rear
Admiral Henry j. Zeigemeier, in
charge or naval communications, an
nounced recently.
Where commercial companies are
able to handle the business the navy
adopts a hands off, policy. but.
1t was pointed out, wherever ener.
gency exists, or it is possible for
the navy to cooperate with bust
ness men to extend American trade,
the government is ready to be OF
service.
Many Of the commercial messages
transmitted during the last year
were from business men attempting
to establish trade connections by
radio where commercial companies
were unable to reach.
Remarkable feats In quick trans.
mission have been accomplished by
the Navy Radio Service. On the
occasion OF big sporting event
extra newspapers were circulated in
Honolulu fifty minutes after the end
OF the game. The story was flashed
BY the naval radio. Three hours
to get q message to Panama and
answer back is q daily performance.
Had the entire business OF the btl-
reau, which consisted OF transmits.
sion Of 100000 words. been based
on the commercial rates the income
would have been over $4,000, 900, Ad.
miral Ziegemeier said. The bulk OF
transmission was for the Govern.
ment, for which no financial credit
was given.
Messages are daily exchanged by
the naval stations with practically
every port IN the world and with
vessels in the seas OF two herni.
spheres.
Admiral Ziegemeier said the use
OF wireless telephones is not yet ex-
tensive. He said these are in an
experimental stage and don't al
ways give the best service. Some
of the battleships are fitted with
these devices, and an extension OF
the service is anticipated as soon
as nearer perfection is attained.
