BY REV. DIR. JOSEPH SILVERMAN
Rabbi Emeritus. Temple Emanuel
of New York

The time has come to defend re-
lieious and ethical teaching against
the charge of failure because it has
not prevented the present crime wave
and seems to be impotent to suppress
1t. A similar charge was made dur
ing the World War that religion had
failed because it did not prevent or
stop the war.
Far from blaming the churches and
synagogues for the spirit of warfare
and criminality that still exists, we
should praise them for the. fine work
they have done and are still doing In
lifting the world at large upon
higher plane of righteousness, justice
and mercy.
Though there are still war and
crime despite all the religious and
ethical forces, let us not forget how
much worse off the world would be
were it not blessed by a God and His
messengers who make for better
humanity. Let us not forget how far
the world has advanced over cannibal-
ism, cruelty and savagery, when there
was no right but might, when there
was no law but the club. 'Tis true
evolution was a great factor in the
rise of civilization, but the ethical in
fluence of religion Is part of that evolu-
ton and in turn promotes 1t.
There exists a crime wave, but all
Indications are that it will not become

Moscow Is about twelfth among
world cities as population is usually
computed, but based upon the number
of pussy cats it is first in the world.
Statisticians-in this case, dog catch
ers-show that Moscow has 100000
cats. Nevertheless, rats cause damage
aggregating $2,500.000 in Moscow
every year and about $3.50, ,000, 900 in

speaker on Wednesday evening at
the weekly meeting Of the members
of the Red Triangle Village at the
Y. NJ. G. A. DR.. Kendall spoke of
the work of his department and Of
their plans for future health work
In particular he spoke of the
necessity of proper supervision of

summer visitors are to be attracted
here in large numbers. DIR. Kendall

itors than a great rush such as
Florida has experienced, as his de-
partment would be swamped by a
rush.
He stated that supervision Of the
sanitary conditions Of summer
camps particularly and of the food
would help to attract visitors here
and would react to the benefit Of the
State.
There was a good attendance at

Decisive Clash in
Industrial League
Basketball Tonight

Upon the outcome of the game
this evening between the Vickery
and Hill and the Gannett teams may
hinge the championship of the Au-
gusta Industrial Basket Ball League.
With the Clerks playing Co. F,
whom they should trim with ease, a
win for Gannetts in the other match
would mean the championship for
the Clerks Co. F will be minus the
services of Davis, who last week
suffered a torn ligament and who
will be out. Of the game for the bal
ance of the season.
Whether the game between the
Post Office boys and the Headquar-
tiers quintet will materialize is yet
to be seen. Fletcher of the Post
Office team is sick and it may be
found necessary to postpone the
game on that account.
In any event the games to be
seen this evening will be worth
watching and they should be at
tended by large crowd. inasmuch
as the league closes with the games
of next Thursday.

And then again, the other night

result was this:
I'D like to buy cavort of milk"
That's him! And though he's q born

as the saying goes. But 1t remains for

Splendid EXCHANGE OF Complimentary
GLOUCESTER C0NY BASKETBALL SQUADS
AT Complimentary BANQUET SESSION

Sportsmanship of the highest type,
unlike anything in evidence but few
years ago between competing teams
was displayed Wednesday evening at
banquet held at the Augusta Girls
Community Club at which the mem
bers of the basketball squad of the
Gloucester High school. who are on
short trip into Maine, were the
guests Of the Cony High boys. their
opponents on the basketball floor
later in the evening.
The Gloucester boys, all very fine
fellows, and the Cony High players
were seated alternately so that men,
bers Of the two teams might come
to know each other better and several
friendships, which started at the time
Cony High played football in Glou-
cester last fall. were continued.
After a delicious supper, Primer
pal Everett V. Perkins, of Cony High
school acting as toastmaster, spoke
of the fine reception which the GIou-
cester team had given them on their
trip to the Fishing City and he re-
marked that Cony hoped to return
dlt COIn TeCtlNeu,
the trimming which they took at
Gloucester.
He then called upon Mayor Ernest
L. Mclean who spoke briefly, e1-
pressing his pleasure at the fine spirit
both teams have always shown and
his belief that good craftsmanship
is not a matter of contests between
teams OF individuals so much as of
contests against oneself. He welcom-
ed the visitors most heartily.
John McNeal of Gloucester Direc-
tor of Athletics and Physical Edu-
cation in the schools of that city was
then called upon. He spoke In APP

he hoped that the visitors would win.
