DANGEROUS STRETCH OF ROAD.

A strong effort is being made to
secure very small slice Of the state
and federal road appropriation to i'm
prove the danger point on the north
end of State Road No. 10, near the old
Kelsey place. Owing to short curves
on a narrow road at the edge OF an
embankment this short stretch of road
has been the scene of several acct
dents, and that no one has been killed
is owing wholly to the good luck OF
those occupying cars that have gone
over the grade. This particularly dan
gerous place could be improved by the
expenditure of few hundred dollars
and the Commercial Club has the
promise of the state highway depart
ment that that road will be improved
| this summer.

the season. The advantage. Is
that they pay for no more power than
they must have.
He advises farmers to discard old
tyne low efficiency pumps when they
install electric motors because they
thereby soon save the cost of new
pump in their decreased power bill.
He said he had noted one instance
where a neighbor has used four horse
power to get $50 inches of water while
he obtained 700 inches by using "a
horsepower more, applied to a modern
nump on a direct drive shaft.

early became familiar with the minor
melodies of Jewish cantillation. During

were on the lads lips and often he

call the thrilling duets that he sang

Ukrainian Jewish War Or
phdns To Be Colonized
Solomon J. Welnstetn. President Of
American Zion Commonwealth, Hopes
Experiment will Offer Solution Of
Problem of Hosts Of War and Po-
grom Victims.


The American Zion Commonwealth of
114 Fifth Avenue, New York, in
statement issued through its President,
| Solomon ]. Weinstein of New York, an
nounces that 300 Jewish war orphans
from the Ukraine are being transported
separate villnge situated in a section
of the colony of Balfouria which was
| founded by the American Zion Com
mOnwealth In 1922. The site chosen is
declared to have an exceptionally heal
thy climate and IN abundant water
supply.
An arrangement has been completed
whereby this orphan village will be
financed by the South African War
Relief committee. the American Zion
buildings and adjoining land. The
supervision of this work in Palestine
Is in the hands of the Palestine Or
phnn committee which consists of Col
Onel Norman Bentwich, Chairman. Dr.
Judah L. Magnes, DIR. Van Vriesland,
Dr. Eliasch, Emanuel MOhl. Sophia
Berger and Abraham Silverstein.
Mr. Weinstein's statement deals with
the serious problem presented by the
tens of thousands Of Jewish orphans
whose parents were\the victims of the
war and the wave of pogroms which
swept over the Ukraine after it. The
problem demands not only the feeding
and care of the thousands Of homeless
and helpless waits. work to which
the Joint Distribution committee has
successfully applied itself. but also the
/ education of the children which in
cludes their Jewish education as well
as their preparation for practical life.
At various times plans were proposed
for conveying large numbers Of these
orphans to Palestine, the ground taken
being that they, as the victims of a
calamity which was national In its
! scope. should become the charge of the
Whole Jewish people in the Jewish
people in the Jewish National Home
land.
Owing, however. largely to the fact
that Palestine itself has had a very
serious orphan problem of its own, no
steps in this direction were taken with
the exception of some small ?scale ex-
periments conducted by Israel Belkind
The local Palestine orphan problem

solution and Jewish public opinion. Mr..
