Science and
the Jew
By MAX OGUST

A Program for Americans,
is the name of a series of ra-
dio broadcasts, which have
been launched recently from
New York City by the Free
Sons of Israel, national Jew
ish fraternal organization,
founded m ore than ninety
years ago by German-Jew-
ish refugees. The purpose of
the radio series is to break
down the barriers that are
daily being built by anti
Semites between Jews and
Gentiles. On each radio
broadcast a leading non
Jewish parsonage is heard
and then a story of notable
Jewish efforts in behalf of
the United States is related.
The following portion from
the program, which was
oadca S t on Wednesday
night, November 6, over sta
ton With, is an interest
ing account of a famous
American-JeWish scientist.
Max Ogust, United States
Grand Master of the Free
Sons of Israel, introduced
Richard K. Manoff, who re-
lated the story.

PEACHES FIT IN
MOST ANYWHERE
IN YOUR PLANS
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Service Staff Writer

BY Mrs. GAYNOR MADDOA
NEA Service Staff Writer
Peaches and cream-that's
about the last word in fruit per-
ection. But for a change now and
then, try peaches in some other
way. For breakfast, try them and
serve with crisp bacon and rolls.
Use firm but ripe peaches. Cut
in half and remove pits. Sprinkle
lightly with salt and then roll in
brown sugar. Fry them gently in
hot bacon drippings. That's a new
brand of breakfast surprise.
For luncheon, serve them bak-
ed. Use large peaches. Peel, cut
in half, remove pits. Into each
cavity, place a little butter, about
l teaspoon sugar, IA teaspoon lem
on juice and a shake of cinnamon.
Bake in moderate over $3.50 de-
grees F. for about Is or 20 min
utes. Serve hot with cold cream.
Peach ice cream is rated as one
of the best of all frozen desserts.
Here are two recipes, one for the
automatic refrigerator, one for the
old-fashioned and ever popular
hand freezer.

SIS it better to underbid or over
bid?', I was asked the other day.
Both are faults, but to the beginner
at contract, I would say, overbid
slightly. If you get into some diff
cult contracts, it will teach you
how to play the cards. If you
make every contract easily, you
won't learn the fine points of the
game.
Suppose you found yourself in a
