ognition of their talent. They
don't care how much fun is
poked at them. They are i'm
mune to all derision, not because
they have such thick skins, for
they are more sensitive than the
ordinary man. But they have
the only real aim in life.
If you would carefully scan
criminal statistics you would
find a very small percentage of
criminals are people who have an
avocation.
The worst enemy of society is
idleness. When people of form
er generations worked fourteen
and sixteen hours a day they had
no time to get into trouble. Men
and women of today do not ex-
ceed the eight hour limit in use
full occupations and the rest of
the day, if not occupied with
some hobby, must necessarily be
full of evil temptations, for the
active mind of man will not stop
automatically at the behest. of a
clock or whistle.
The human brain requires
some additional occupation until
it's vitality has reached such a
stage of exhaustion that it well
comes the recuperating comfort
of sleep.
AS the not alone harmless but
even beneficial hobbies of the
amateur are not encouraged,
what wonder is it that these idle
minds turn to all sorts of mis-
chief, for which we must pay a
higher price than it would cost
us to stimulate the really useful
amateur endeavors of the COM
munity.
With a proper understanding
of this vital question, the idle
hours of our city might be capi-
talized with even greater mate
rial results than the official work
days.

~ people who have a hobby
and this will be a better city to
live in. 1t will be a more law
abiding. and a happier commun-
ity.
These eccentrics who are will

pursuit of the arts are really the
only people on this earth who
know how to live. They at least
have an aim. They at least know
how to spend their leisure hours
may it not even be to any mater
ial advantage. They may never
reach their goal, but they know
in what direction they are trav-
cling. They are, to say the least,
able to fill every moment with
never tagging interest which
keeps them on the straight and
narrow path and out of harms

Their ship of life differs from
others in that it has a rudder
which always steers in a given
direction and its pilot always
knows where he is steering, NO
matter how obscure and uncer-
tain the future may be.
This class of people is the only
factor in society of which we are
always certain. We know how
they will react to any and all con-
ditions, to veal or woe. With
the ordinary man, no matter how
even his past life has been, there
is no guarantee of what he will
do under changed conditions.
Unlike the man with a hobby, his
life has remained an empty shell
and when atmosphere is drawn
in to fill the vacuum the shell
cannot stand the pressure and
breaks into many pieces.
Men and women who have
straddled a hobby horse have al
ways a life full of activity
Nothing can really make them
unhappy. They have an inner
life that cannot be touched by
their environment. They are
filled with a strong force of re-
sistance which can withstand al
most any pressure.
So we have an ever increasing
number of amateur actors, paint
ers, musicians and other artists

intonation of the prayers as on

Pinye Minkowsky was the his
torian of chazonuth, he was
Hebrew scholar, a great singer.
With him there has probably
gone the last of the great
chazonim who were famous not
only for their excellent voices,
but who were learned men and
men of great piety.
Minkowsky was raised in his
fathers house, a renowned can
tor in Billo-Tzerkof, Russia. He
studied the Hebrew and Tai
mudic literatures, besides his
music. For some time he sang
in his fathers choir and later
went to Kishinoff, where he be-
came member of Nissen Bel
zer's choir. His generosity, his
sweet voice, his masterful inter-
probation of the Jewish syna-
gogial music made him much be-
loved by the Jewish community.
About this time Minkowsky be-
gan to write essays on Jewish
music that won the admiration
of Jewish scholars and teachers.
After singing for several
years before a large congrega-
tion in Cherson, Minkowsky en-
tered the Conservatory of Music
in Vienna, where he studied un-
der the best teachers. He was
called then to Odessa and became
cantor of fine synagog there.
| Nevertheless, he continued his
| writing on Jewish music and the
genera public liked and admired
his articles. Although he was
| q SlGdI composer, al al liol, q
wonderful musician, he was
Jewish, real spiritual leader
and ever remained, strictly orth-
odox.
Much to my regret, l never
had the pleasure of meeting
Finye Minkowsky. l remember,
though, how Deverently my
grandfather who was a chazan
would speak of him. He would
say that he was great because he
was great and because before
and above everything else he
was o great chazon. He was a
very modest man and never
boasted of himself. One of the
many things, Pinye Minkowsky
had planned to do in this coun-
try was to establish a school for
Chazonim, but the Angel of
death snatched him from our
midst too soon.

Rumblings And Tremors Are Fol 1 lowed By Landslides

VENICE, Dec. 14.-Inhabtants of ITolmezzo at the foot of the Carnic Alps, are in state of panic today after the outbreak of fresh earthquake shocks which were felt all during the night.
 After hearing the rumblings nearly continuously for a day and night the populace insists the sky is open" Landsides of large boulders are ire quently rolling down from nearby mountains, increasing the anxiety among the inhabitants. At Cividale, the floor of the police station crashed to the basement, following a strong shock without.
 Fridays earthquake had its epicen tre at Tolmezzo cathedral, which was badly damaged. A section of the nave near the main altar collapsed and sev- eral cornices and part of the ceiling fell in.
 Although many houses were cracked by the shocks and several roofs crashed to the ground at Venzone, no casualties have been reported. Heavy rumblings generally preceded the tremors, which were followed by landslides from the mountains.

SOUTHERN CITIES URGE DEFENSE OF COINAGE BILL
Constituents Ask Con- gressmen To Prevent
 Annulment Of Measure
(WashingtOn Bureau

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-1'rom practically every city of every southern state comes instructions to southern members of congress to prevent annul- ment by the Grand Army of the Re public of that Legislation of last session which would result in the coining of money bearing the faces of Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and "StonewalI' Jackson.
 The legislation was passed because congress, apparently, was willing to ad- yertise the mamoth conception of Stone mountain, near Atlanta, as the most outstanding military monument in the world. During the recess of congress, however, the Grand Army of the Re public, conceiving the notion that the legislation was in effect reasonable, prepared to have the act annuled. Bills have been introduced to that effect. In the meantime, the hints are preparing to turn out the coins.
 While the cause is exceptional, and while theoretically all wounds growing out of the Confederate war have been healed, the easy passage of the blll last session was surprising to Southerners. It was admitted when the bill was passed and signed by the President that the congress had taken the most ad- vanced step possible in proving that the country was in fact reunited. It was regarded as extraordinary that the gov ernment, even thought it had forgiven and forgotten, would print on it's money the faces of those who had endeavored with arms, to destroy the union.
 At the same time, southern members of congress intended to fight the effort of the Grand Army of the Republic to undo what already has been done. There is little question but that the G. A. R.. can muster a majority of members of congress, but it is not so certain that that majority can speak before March 4. It is anticipated that the coins would sell in the south at a premium,
