United States branch of the court
contributed to that total the sum of
s14,606.70, and the District of Column
bia branch. including the Traffic
Court. $20,5S6.15. There was a ma

practically at standstill. The re-

The growth of the business of the

the Traffic Court. emphasizes strongly
the pressing need of a branch Of the
court exclusively dealing with traffic
in the hands of a newly

Says Flapperitis
Is Disease; Needs
Medical Care
By the Associated pre,sI

BY the Associated Press,
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., July 4.
"Flapperitis' is not a condition
that calls for the attention of
'meddling women's clubs or
would-be social uplifters," but is
disease that demands medical
treatment, DR.. A. w. La Forge,
Chicago diagnostician, declared
In addressing the convention
OF the American Institute of
Homeopathy.
"Flapperitis is disease" said
DR.. La Forge. 'Of course, 1t is an
expression of modern social con-
ditions but essentially it is an
organic disease of the nervous
system due to the strain of living
in jazz age. The causes of the
disease doi not lie entirely within
the fiapper herself. The approba-
ton OF old men and the emulation Of
old women and the meddlesome in
reference Of women's clubs and
would-be social uplifters all tend
to perpetuate. rather than elimi-
nate. this condition"

Ouer One Million Pounds for
Keren Hayesod

America and those pledgOrs from whom
pa ymcnts are now due. to make 1t pos
sible for the Central Office of the Keren
Hayesod to report to the Carlsbad Con-
gress receipts totalling f1.O0O,00O.
In striving to secure this total we
should bear in mind also the practical
importance for Palestine of full and
regular monthly rcmittances by the
Keren HayesOd. 1t is the Keren
HayesOd which makes possible an in
creased immigration. which maintains
the Hebrew School system so vital for
Jewish Hopes. which supports the medi-
cal and sanitary work, which promotes
agricultural COLOMBIA tiOn and engages In
numerous other activities essential to
the rebuilding of Palestine. Fortunate
ly our last campaign. under the in
spiration of DIR. Chain Weizmann, has
enabled the American Keren Hayesod
to meet its obligations for the Pales-
tine budget fully and promptly. This
has already had most beneficial effect
upon the Jewish position in Palestine.
We now appeal to all Keren Hnyesod
workers and pletlgors to enable us to
continue meeting our obligations dur
ing the summer and early fall when
the new campaigns begin. We appeal.
In particular. that you make special
effect between now and the eonvening
of the Carlsbad Congress so that the
Keren Hayesod may Ike able to report
receipts of Mt least f1.OOO.00O
We call upon you to help demon
strnte in the sight of the world the
strength OF our cause.
