FOLLOW JEWISH EXAMPLE"
SAYS ORYAN

Major Gen. John F. Organ. one OF
the best known Catholic laymen in
New York, said: "In Europe today
there are not lacking communities
where credulity supports the belief
that upon occasions the Jews surrcpti-
tiously make human sacrifice, Christ
ians. of course. Human conduct has
always been more inspired by example
than by precept, and ~ the movement
which brings MS together tonight will
accomplish more for the cause of tolera-
tion toward the Jews in Europe than
any symposium that We might write
or plea that we could make
Remember, too, in making your
gifts, the splendid examples of charity.
and tolerance ever being displayed by
our own Jews Of America. Whenever
n Christian people have lifted a brutal
heel from the neck OF Jewish people
and have given them the opportunity
to live with them on terms of equality
and good will, the Jews have responded
as IL by magic. Although the marks
of generations OF Christian persecution
may be upon them, accompanied at
times by deficiencies inseparable from
such servitude, they have demon
strated their ability in n few short gen.
erations to forget and forgive. to de
velop and to serve and to give to us
examples of the Christian charity that
was withheld from them by Christian
people for so long period"
Bishop Manning in introducing Mr..
Marshall, stated that he had learned
that Mr.. Marshall will celebrate his
SEVENTEEN birthday on December IA.
MARSHALL'S ADDRESS
"'Behold how good and how pleas
ant it is
For brethren to dwell together in
unity" Mr.. Marshall began his ad-
dress, in which he reviewed the history
of the efforts OF American Jews,
through the Joint Distribution commit
tee. to alleviate the condition Of the
stricken Jewish population in East
European countries. He then de-
ciared:
'In pointing out these facts I am
neither claiming credit for the Jews,
nor asking for reciprocity. am
merely attempting to Illustrate how
necessary is the spirit Of good will. 1t
must not be one-sided, it should be
mutual. 1t should not partake of the
arrogance of superiority on the one
hand or Of the degradation OF infer
iority on the other. 1t must not be
based on the idea of liberation. Nc
self-respecting man will consent to be
tolerated; nor will he suffer the i'm
pairment OF his dignity by permitting
himself to be patronized. Nor does ii
mean that any OF US should be expected
to surrender or to abate Its conscien
tious convictions or his philosophy OF
life, or that it is to be assumed that ali
men should he likemnded on all sub
jects, or should become standardized
machines What II should mean Is sci
forth in the oft-repeated sententious
simple, homely words of Malachi, whost
inner content have for ages been hon
ored in the breach rather than in tn,
observance
"'Have we not all one Father?
"'Hath not one God created us?'
THAT is the proclamation of human
brotherhood, which, to adapt the ad
mirable expression of Owen d. Young
is universal solvent Of all problems.
From it spring those deeds OF human
kindness which you are exemplifyini
and upon which in the striking phras'

Washington-President Coolidge in
his message to Congress again rec
commended legislation for modifica-
tion of the immigration law to en-
able the uniting of separated fami-
lies. However, he did not specify
the exact character of the legisla-
tion favored by him. The President
made reference to this subject under
the topic of his message entitled,
"The Wage Garner"
"While restrictive immigration has
been adopted in part for the benefit
of the wage Garner and in its en-
tirety for the benefit of the coun-
try" the President declared, at
ought not to cause needless sep
aration of families and dependents
from their natural source of support
contrary to the dictates of human
ity."
Labor Dept. Recommendations
1t was learned that the Labor De-
cific recommendations shortly for
limited modification of the present
law in regard to the admission of
certain relatives to citizens.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Samuel
Dickstein, of New York, introduced
three immigration bills at the open
ing session of Congress. One of the
bills provides for the admission of
parents, husbands and children up to
twenty-one, of American citizens;
second to admit the wives and minor
children up to eighteen of declarants
who arrived in America prior to
July l, 1924, and the other bill to
admit all the refugee immigrants
who secured visas prior to the adop-
admission was made impossible
thereby.
5000 Refugees
Congressman Dickstein estimated
that the number of these refugees
is about five thousand.
In connection with these bills, Con-
gressman Dickstein issued state
ment in which he declared: "The
time has come when we should def
nitely lay down our policy with ref
erence to the families of immigrants
who have been in this country and
who desire to settle here permanent
ly and become American citizens.
Retarding Citizenship
There is large number of men in
this country today who have taken
the preliminary steps to become
American citizens, by what is tech
nically known as declaring their in
tention to become citizens, who have
definitely decided to stay in the Unit
ed States and to contribute to the
public life of this country. Never
theless, harsh quota law which is
in existence today prevents the re-
union of these people with their
families on the other side of the
ocean and makes it impossible for
them, as long as this law exists, to
bring their families over from the
other side until they will be able to
find their place within the quota of
their respective nationalities, which
in many instances, may be never,
Certainly no reason exists why the
wives of such residents in the Unit
ed States should not be admitted in
to this country and why their chill
dren under eighteen years of age
should not be admitted"

OWNER OF BURNED HOTEL
ACQUITTED OF CHARGE
J. ]. Singleton, Accused of Fir
ing Building at Loeb Lynn,
Di~~cc,larged by Justice

j. ]. Singleton, owner and manager
of the Hicks House, hostelry at
Loeb Lynn, near the B. & o. station
at Mt. Lake Park, which burned to
the ground early Monday morning a
week ago, who had been charged
with having set the house afre, was
acquitted at hearing given him by
Magistrate E. l. West on last Friday.
Mr.. Singleton's- arrest was made
the day of the fire by William D. Cas-
teel, deputy sheriff, on a warrant
which he had procured from Magis-
trate West on circumstantial evil
dence furnished by residents of Loeb
Lynn. He was jailed but later re-
leased pending further investigation
by the States Attorney and the
Sheriff.
At his hearing on Friday there was
no substantial evidence produced to
hold Singleton on this serious charge
and he was therefore acquitted and
is not held responsible for the confla-
grafton.
The hotel, which was three stories
high, and. had SO rooms, was built
about rs years ago but it is under
stood that it had never been operated
at profit to its several owners.

seventh grade ask that you continue
these kindnesses to our successors,
that they, too, may desire to be useful
in their community.
We particularly wish to thank the
Rev. DR.. Moore, Rev. H. A. Grubbs.
and Rev. Mr.. Lineweaver for their
help in our exercises as we'll as Mr..
Neil Fraley Mr.. Delbert Davis and
DR.. W. W. Grant for acting as judges
in our debate.

ficates awarded to the out going

NO MORE SKIRTS.

The skirt is doomed, says Booth
Harrington, the novelist. Fifty
years from now the skirts, as an
article of women's apparel, will have
disappeared entirely"
This statement doesn't arouse the
CONSERVATION it might have aroused
a decade or two ago. We are not
easily shocked any more. Besides,
there is little left of the skirt now,
it seems plainly evolving, or devolv-
ing into nothing right before our
eyes.
Harrington says he expects to see
the time when all women will regu-
larly wear garments just about the
same as mems. There is no reason,
he thinks, why they shouldn't. 1t
isn't question of modesty, but of
custom and fitness.
We guess we can stand it, if we
must. Boomers are not so bad, any,
way, though they used oddly to shock
us early in this revolutionary GEN.
tury Or if its's to be trousers, that,
too, probably doesn't matter much.
We can get used to anything. They'll
still be the same women.

Health Notes.

Here are some tabloid statements
on various phases of public health
activities, taken from addresses made
by representative speakers at the
American Health Congress at Allan
tic City recently, and that are passed
on to the people of Maryland by DR..
John S. Fulton, Director of the State
Department of Health. They are
worth thinking about, he said, be-
cause they represent the convictions
of a great group of people, not simp-
ly the opinions of one State or section
Of the country. The congress was at
tended by over six thousand delegates
from every part of the United States
and Canada There were also guests
and speakers present from Great
Britain, France, Belgium, Switzer-
land Australia and South Africa.
Every sort of public health activity
was discussed, but the keynote of all
of the discussions was "the preven-
ton of disease and the promotion Of
health"
Here they are:
By Sir Arthur Newsholme, of
Great Britain: "The three main OBJ
jects of public health work are: (D
the prevention of disease; (2) the
enhancement of health; 81 the cult
walton. of the complete being of man
in order that physically, mentally and
morally there may be the highest
self-development of well balanced
nature"
DR.. Livingston Farrand, the presi-
dent Of Cornell University: "The edu-
Gated person should have a knowledge
of the important health problems fac
ing the community, of the methods of
attacking those problems and of the
results to be expected from intelli-
gent community action in the public
health field"
DR.. Matthias Nicoll, Jr., Commits
sioner of Health for the State of New
York: "Ten thousand lives are sacri-
feed needlessly from diphtheria in
the Unied States each year. Ninety
per cent of these deaths occur in
children under five years of age.
Science has now given US means
whereby complete protection against
this disease may be accomplished by
the administration of toxin-anti-tox-
in. The vast majority of the people
so immunized will never contract
diphtheria, even though exposed to
the disease"
Sir Arthur Newsholme: "The re-
moval of the great environmental
enemies of public health must always
remain the basis of public health
work. Of these enemies impure drink
ing water and defective arrange
ments for the removal of organic
filth from subsequent human contact
are the greatest dangers to health
and life"
DR.. Arnold Gesell, Yale University:
eff we want this civilization to march
forward toward higher economic
standards, to moral and spiritual
ideals, it will march only on the feet
of healthy children"
DR.. Ellen c. Potter, Pennsylvania
State Department of Health: "The
biggest bill the taxpayer. has to meet
is due to the care of the sick; the
biggest bill the individual has to meet
in unhappiness, ineffectiveness and
failure is due to that individuals
{ lack of real health both bills can be
tremendously reduced by well or
gained, well executed program of
positive health"
