Palestine and records every sta- tistical beat for the American Economic Committee in Tel Aviv, gives credit for Palestine's boom to the German immigration.
 "All the refugees who have come in since last April have meant consumers to Palestine. And these consumers have developed possi- bilities that production has not been able to keep pace with," explained Hurwitz.
 Anyone who went room hunting last fall and winter, when the German immigration to Palestine was so heavy, found how true Hurwitz's words were.
 To rent an apartment in any, of the three cities in Palestine, it was necessary to pay a years rent in advance and then wait for three to six months to move in-the contractor usually started build- ing when he had collected all his rents in advance.
 Building Boom Results.
 So intensive did the building program become that the carpen ter and the mason became the kings of labor in Palestine and orange groves and factories suf- fered a labor shortage, high wages in the building trade turing men to the cities.
 To rent 8 room in Maifa or Tel Ayivi, on the days when the ships came in, was impossible. It was not unusual for pension or hotel to turn a single room into one accommodating four and five and even six persons.
 German refugees who came into Palestine did so through three doors.
 There were those who were al- lowed in through the front door, was capitalists, because they pos sessed 1000 pounds, or $5000, which Germany, through an agree ment with England, permitted them to take, if they went to Palestine.
 Industries Grow Rapidly.
 These capitalists usually found their way to the American Eco- homie Committee in Tel Aviv.
 New stores, brightly sleek and ultra modern, began appearing on the main streets of Tel Aviv, Haifa | and Jerusalem. New cafes and | pensions opened in all three cities. | Outlying districts showed new fac tories bearing German names. The | street facing the newly opened harbor at Haifa carried signs an- nouncing German shipping firms.
 The German tourists who came | in through the side door of Palestine did so as tourists. They | were usually men who wanted to know more about possibilities of the country before they broke up their homes and what business they had in Germany. Business Is helped.
 These men travelled through Palestine making business good for the taxis. busses, and railroads as well a the pensions and hotels, while they searched for the best

 The story is as refreshing as the title itself and deals with a little modern Cinderella who sud- denly comes to life through a popularity contest and finds the gates of Wonderland open to her. It sparkles and brims with youth and laughter.

THE IVY VINE
Good evening.

A pretty sight is the ivy vine, Clinging with tenacious fingers; Its leaves of brightest green all shine. As about the ruins it fingers. For food it seeks walls decayed, Stone that has crumbled away; No building of man has e'er been made, That feels not the ivy some day. The mouldering dust of the years gone by, Serves it's meaIt1me whim; As creeping upwards towards the sky, It spreads each eager limb. Centuries have fled, their works are gone, None of them could ever last; But this hardy plant, green as the lawn, Fattens on the friable past.

The Blue Eagle Dance : By Joseph vossl

But, darn it, Nicolls still refused
to smile and say good morning and
good might. That man was GER
tainly an unappreciative fool! One
day Nicolls, trying to be correspond
ent, shipping and stock clerk at the
same time, shouted, I'm doing
three mems work under the MIRA.
and I am looking forward to an
other decrease in salary" At the
end of the week, after conference
with Miss Dattwyler, the boss fired
Nicolls for communicating the mo-
rale Of the establishment.
Miss Dattwyler had been with the
firm from the day it opened, four
teen years ago. she was faithful
right from the start, working until
all hours Of the night, cashiering,
bookkeeping, salesladying, even
sweeping the store and taking the
boss's wife's Airedale out for calls
of nature during lunch hour, After
five years Of fidelity Miss Dattwy-
Ter began to ponder on the higher
aspects of life and sometimes when
the boss wasn't looking she cried a
bit. because after all she was get
ting on in years and the job kept
her so busy she had no time to
satisfy her spiritual yearning, But
there is always a God to look for
ward to, she felt proud to grow with
the firm, she took personal pride in
the little store which developed into
large establishment. she con-
tributed her bit by watching every
penny and keeping her eyes on the
employees. and her salary grew
from eighteen dollars week to
twenty-five, not counting few
cuts.
When she became thirty five
years old she experienced a change
in life 50 to say, her whole heart
became wrapped up with the vel
! fare of the firm and she enjoyed
her few spare moments oiling and
wiping her typewriter until 1t shone
like a jewel. When one of the tri-
vial employees made an error she
grew red in the face and spent
hours discussing the problem with
the boss-little mistakes became hel
passion in life and at night wher
she sat alone in her room she be-
came terribly excited thinking about
all these mistakes, and once she
burst into tears when trivial en-
ployee said the job was lousy But
nevertheless there was always one
reason or another to be hayyp
When the Blue Eagle came to the
shop Miss Dattwyler took few
steps forward and few steps back.

faithful heads of Departmental On
the following morning Mr.. Lewis,
with his Yandyke ruffed, came In
whole twenty minutes late, and
Mr.. Dubresny in reckoning his ex-
pense account was caught short
changing the firm eighteen cents.
1t was positively incomprehensible.
Only Miss Dattwyler kept up a
cheerful face and sang the praises
of the Blue Eagle. she was the only
employee who knew that the firm
had earned a net s43,10 for the
first six months. Now take Miss

wife. "She certainly can keep a

olates for Christmas"

A man came into the shop and
asked for a Job, he was down and
out under the MIRA. The boss let
him deliver packages all week and
then gave him a hand-out of two
dollars. The man took the two dol
lars and said thank you. Now here
was a man with the right spirit!
The boss thereupon hired him as
janitor on a permanent basis for
eight dollars a week-"We Do Our
Part"-and fired the old janitor who
was getting twenty-five week, 1t
was about time anyhow the old
janitor took things easy for a

have been fired long ago, because
he was very irreconciliable, he was
the only one who refused to smile
to the boss and say good-morning
and goodnight. The boss some
times believed he was Communist.
Several months after the Blue Eagle
came to the shop and business be-
came real bad, the boss figured
there was no use paying twenty per
week to a shipping clerk as long as
Nicolls had so much spare time on
his hands, so he fired the shipping
clerk and gave Nicolls an oppor-
tunity to broaden his knowledge of
the antique business. And as long

WHEN the Blue Eagle came to
" Mueller's Antique Shop all the
employees gathered round and
stared at the window-card with
happy but startled eyes. Under the
MIRA" said the boss good-hu-
moredly, everybody is going to
benefit except the boss. There's
socialism for you!" The two man
ayers giggled and Miss Dsttwyler,
the bookkeeper, took a few steps
forward and a few steps backward
and named it the Blue Eagle
Dance.
The first one to benefit from the
New Order was Roger, the errand
boy. He had started with the firm
in 1929 at fifteen per week and he
was very satisfactory so the boss
let him run the Monograph ma
chine and wrap packages and sun
dry other tasks so as to train him
for the antique business, and in
1881 the boss cut his salary to
eleven per week, business was very
bad. Then along came the MIRA.
and put big ideas into the kids
head and big words into his mouth
such as Minimum Wage Scale, the
kid actually had the nerve to ask
for raise in salary. The boss was
amazed to discover that this young
mans interest in his work was
hardly proportionate to his impu-
dence, and he fired him, and in
Washington. D, c., the Secretary of
Labor issued statistics to the effect
that there had been sudden 2
per cent increase in employment.
Mr.. Lewis was manager of the
old painting department, he had
been with the firm eight years and
wore vandyke and discussed
aesthetics and spiritualisln over tea
with the richer spinsters he was
an indispensable man. Every time
the boss went off on vacation,
Lewis, according to rough esti-
mates, earned several thousand dol
lars extra by disposing of antiques
through gang of aesthetics in Bal
timore, business was very good. But
when the Blue Eagle came to the
shop the boss had the indelicacy
to claim that Lewis wasn't coop
Grating under the NRA., he was
drawing disproportionate salary
and would have to take 20 per
cent cut so as to set an example
of equity for the other employees.
Lewis was 50 angry he went into a
Blue Eagle Dance and exclaimed.
