the further away you drift
from the scene, the nearer the
act seems.
My chum of my childhood
days, Raphael became my enemy
for life, through a little misun-
derstanding of my brother,
Louis, who carried the Purim
gift (Shalochmonis) for me,
Purim, as you know, although
it is only minor holiday is one
of the most widely and most
heartily celebrated of all the
Jewish festivals. A legend is
told that when Messiah will come
and all Jewish holidays will
close, Purim alone shall remain.
This holiday, although one of
the big features is reading the
Megilla, is really devoted to
merry making and the exchange
of gifts, which is called shaloch-
monas (sending gifts.) y
This custom of exchanging
gifts was upheld by the youth.
l was one of the great observers
of this custom and having
number of friends, it was neces-
sary to start saving my pennies
with my "Chanuka Gelt." How
ever, with all my saving and
economizing l could not make
enough money except for one
shalochmonis. In those days,
shalochmonis was quite an eX-
pensive gift as it consisted of
a number of different fruits,
cookies and candies. l also was
positive to receive shalochmonis
in return. So l thought I could
manage by exchanging the
shalochmonis that l received
from my friends and at the very
last, remain with one for my
self.
Raphael, my friend was young
er than l and naturally sent me
his shalochmonis first. Having
two sets of gifts in my posses
sion, l directed my younger
brother to deliver my original
shalochmonis to Raphael and
Raphaers shalochmonis to an
other friend of mine.
The very next day, Raphael
called at my home and with
much impetuousness told me ex-
actly what he thought of me.
"How could you possibly return
to me the gift that 1 had so
lovingly prepared for you. l
shall never again speak to you"
he said.
Immediately understood that
my brother must have ex-
changed the gifts. and Raphael
had felt indignant and insulted
at my returning his shaloch-
monis.
Although years have gone by,
my friend, Raphael cannot for
give me for returning his
shalochmonis.

QUESTIONS ANR ANSWERS

Q. I notice some people setting out cabbage now. Will these live through the winter and when are they supposed to head? Mrs. N., Ensley, Ala.
 A. There is considerable doubt whether cabbage set out now will es- cape being killed by the cold in this section. It is simply a risk that many growers for market take in order to produce green cabbage by March. The so-called frost-proof plants are merely those grown out in the open grounds and hardened to adverse weather con ditions.
 Q. Is the Mayflower, the little early red peach, freestone or a cling? l want an early peach, but not a free stone. Mrs. T. E., Woodstock, Ala.
 A. The Mayflower is neither, but is classed as semi-cling. Chinese cling and Mamie Rose are two good clings. The latter nearly as early as May flower.
 o. I notice some cedars near Bir- r1ingham that grow wild. pyramid form, with very fine foliage. Could one trans plant these trees in the city of Bir- nlingham? E. T.
 A. The cedars referred to are not really true cedars. but junipers that grow rapidly into fine symetical pya- midal form. Many are sold for Christ mas trees. This is one of the easiest cedars to transplant when still young

AIR MAIL SETS A RECORD
No Other Country Approaches Feat
 The United States AccOmplisheS

The United States AccOmpiiSnoS
 Although there have been no govern mental efforts to turn the attention of private business toward air transport, the United States has none the less been the scene of the most important single experiment that the world has yet seen. In six and half years of operation, the last four years of it on transcon- tinental route. the air mail has made a record unapproached in regularity of adherence to schedule and hardly ex- celled in safety.
 Flying nearly two million mills year the mail planes cover every part of the distance between New York and San Francisco once each day in each direc- tion, and the ratio of trips completed on time to trips undertaken would be creditable for a railroad. A number of months have passed without single failure to complete a trip or serious de- lay, and averages of 9S and 99 per cent have become commonplace.
 Furthermore, since July l, 1924, the mail has been flown by night as well as by day, this being the first attempt at commercial night flying on a regular schedule, and the total elapsed time in transit from coast to coast is now only thirty hours, clear saving of more than 60 per cent over the time of the fastest mail trains.-Edwar P. Warner in Current History Magazine.

BOOK CENSORSHIP | STRS WORDY WAR
Harvard Divided Over Its DecamerOn And
 Ellis

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 29.-A war of words, fast and furious. over what students should and should not read. is being fought out at Harvard University.
 Books such as Bocaccio's Decameron and the work of Havelock Ellis are said to be under lock and key at the university library. And that's what causing the trouble.
 The Harvard Advocate opened hostili- ties in its last issue by waxing indig- nant. And the Harvard Crimson, student daily, carried on by taking up both sides of the momentous question and then scoring the censorship of it's edi- tcrial columns.
 In the opinion of William c. Lane, graduate in 1881 and librarian of the university library:
 "There are filthy books, books cor rupting in influence, which it is no part of the library's duty to distribute to readers, though it must be admitted that there are plenty such nowadays on the has no interest in providing for the man with keen scent; it does not want to give the genuine student all he asks for"
 And then to keep the discussion warm, R. l.. Reich, instructor in French, fires few hot shots:
 "Some of the things that the Advo- cate maintains are unquestionably true and deserve to be severely criticized. The inferno that is located somewhere in the depths of Widener and which contains books which are under lock and key is one of those preposterous things whcih make Harvard seem more like preparatory school than a uni versity."
 Commenting on MT. Lanes state ments, a Crimson editorial says:
 .'The attitude might be permissable were he referring to public libraries in general. But Widener library is not public library. It is the private library of Harvard University, used by select group of fairly mature students pos sessed of good breeding and good sense. These men need no 'great-grandmother ly' supervision of their morals and the attempt to infrings their independence of thought is an insult to their char acter."
 Apparently realizing something has been started. Mir. Lane invites the ap- pointment of student committee of mature men to take up the matter with him and promise to lay the books in question before them for their judg- ment as to the policy of the library. Around this committe the battle prob ably will continue.
