Do You Know?
How Do We Hear7

Just inside the ear is the ear
drum, very thin elastic membrane
stretched tightly across the ear OPEN
ing, similar to drum-head. Sound
waves in the air strike against the
ear-drum and cause it to vibrate
back and forth very rapidly. Direct
ly back of and touching the ear-drum
is set of three small, loosely-con-
nected bones, which pass the vibra-
tions of the ear-drum onward to a
little bag, or sac, that is filled with a
liquid substance and sets this liquid
into motion. The ends of the nerves
of hearing are embedded in this bag
and spread out into the liquid where
they perceive the vibrations and car
ry the sense Of sound, or hearing, to
the brain.

we all know Arabic and Hebrew. We
have passed priceless hours sturying
Boba Kamma and Boba Bathra, Kid
dushin and Gittin, Nedarim and Be-
rachoth. The teachings of Hillel and
Shammai are not alien to us. We are
familiar with the writings of Rashi
and Rambam. The hymns of Judah
ha-Levi and Ibn Gebirol are sung by
us on holidays; we have studied the
esoteric doctrines of the Kabbala as
embodied in the etchings Of the
sanity Simeon ben Yohair, we have
fashioned our conduct according to
the Pirke Aboth Sayings of the Fa-
thers) and the Shulchan Aruch. We
observe every Jewish holiday, as
commanded in the Bible and the Tai
mud. In every possible way we try
to live truly Jewish life. q
1T seems to be our fate to go
through life despised by the nom
Jews, misunderstood by and unknown
to the white Jews. There 5 nothing,
apparently, that we can do about Il.
We ask no charity; we demand no
aims. We are prepared to be 'hewers
of wood and drawers of water
honest, Woodworking men, mechanics,
janitors. We have no regrets. To be a
Jew In a Christian world is martyr
dom enough; but a black Jew in
white Christian civilization-ah, It's
doubly sad. ="

The trouble had fits genesis when
Sam Jones and A. w. Phillips both
wooed Ora Whit, who later married
Jones' brother Otis. 1t was on Easter
morning in 1902 when Otis sided with
his brother in a quarrel and Sizemore
came to the aid of Phillips.
Some witnesses say Griffith, broth
er-in-law Of the Jones', found them
holding at bay with revolvers Phillips
and Sizemore, who was reported to
have flourished an AK. At this point
of the argument the witnesses dis
agree. some claiming Griffith shot in
self -defense when Sizeomre turned the
ak toward him. while others maintain
ed there was no such justification.
