lty groups, have their just rights

Crying out against the danger
OF developing a sense of super

speaker declared that America
should avoid the possibility of
attempting to coerce a con-
formity to one particular idea
of politics."

Furniture Prices Will Advance

NEW YORK, (P) - Many bed room and dining room furniture manufacturers are expected to raise prices to per cent between now and the opening of the Janu- ary furniture markets.
 Trade sources said an advance was inevitable" but it was thought increases would be on an individual rather than an overall basis.
 Retailers said some manufactur- CTS who increased their prices six months ago plan to boost them again on Dec. 1, while others who have held their price lines in the face of rising material and labor costs plan increases effective about the same time.

Two Injured In Jump From
 Burning B-29

WILBUR, Wash. (P)-Two crew members who parachuted from a burning B-29 bomber yesterday before it landed in a wheat field were nursing injuries today.
 Uninjured were three others who jumped and the pilot and CO., pilot who set the crippled plane down safely on a rolling farm two miles south of here.
 Col. Albert J. Shower, com manding officer of Spokane army airfield, where the big bomber was based, said the ship was en- route home on a training flight from Warner Robins field, Geor- gia, when a motor started burning.
 Maj. D. H. Keller, Los Angeles, pilot, and Maj. E. w. Arnold, Seattle, co-pilot, told crew mem bers to jump as rain and darkness closed in on the faltering plane.
 After the crew had parachuted into rough cattle territory, the plane swooped low over Wilbur with its motor smoking and landed as the engine burst into flame. The ships underside was dented and propellors were smashed, but a witness said the pilot an co-pilot ''Were not even shaken up.'

BY GERALD SOHN

During the past two summers,
as an advertising and circulation
agent Of The Southern Jewish
Weekly, I have been able to re-
ceive Jewish education equal to-,
if not surprising, that attained
during any one of my numerous
years in Sunday school. BY trav-
cling with Mr.. Isadore Moscovitz,
on behalf of the paper, have
had an opportunity to visit almost
every large Jewish community in
this section of the South, including
Daytona Beach, st. Augustine,
Orlando, Gainesville, Tampa, Lake
land, st. Petersburg, Pensacola,
Tallahassee, Mobile, Savannah,
Waycross, Ocala, Brunswick, and
many other cities. On these trips
I have received a two-fold edu-
cation. First, through circulation,
I have met and discussed Zionism,
anti-Semitism, inter-marriage, etc.
with all classes of Jewish people,
orthodox, conservative and re-
form; Zionists and anti-Zionists;
believers and atheists. Secondly,
through my position as advertising
agent, I have exchanged views on
numerous Jewish topics with many
Gentiles whom I met in my bust
ness dealings. Thus, through the
most practical method of obtaining
knowledge, first-hand information,
I have had an opportunity to study
both sides of many Jewish prob
lens from the people who are
actually concerned with these
problems. Every time I would en-
gage in a conversation with some
one, a small portion of the history
of modern Jewish life would be
unraveled and my question an
swered by this "book of life"
When the evenings came, I would
discuss the days occurrences with

school teacher and for fifteen

MANIOC.
lMdnioc ecsatlenta.)
By Liliion Cox Athey

Manioc Is tuberous root known
in some countries as cassava. It is
an important food of millions of
people in the tropical countries of
the world, though practically un-
known to the inhabitants of tenn
perate zones by its true name.
Manioc when processed is very well
known to millions of housekeepers.
In the United States it is tapioca
served in desserts. Industrially, in
flour it has many uses. Other fin
ished products are dried slices, -four,
meal and compressed residue used In
Europe for stock. The slices are
made into many types of starches.
Manioc flour is in demand for
crackers and biscuits which are
easily digsted. Cassava or manioc
is now grown in our Southern States
as food for cattle. In Brazil the dis
tilleries make alcohol of it.
The roots contain a glucoside
which is toxic and may be deadly If
eaten raw. This toxic material is
removed by heating and pressing
out the juice. This bitter Juice is
known as cassareep, much used In
condiments and sauces. Sweet manioc
may be boiled as a vegetable, the
flour used in thick native drinks.
In Brazil the greatest concentra-
tion of cultivated and wild species
gives rise to the opinion that the
plant had it's origin in this country.
Cultivation has been since prehis-
toric times. Upon their arrival in
the New World the Spaniards found
several edible varieties under culti-
vation on the Caribbean Islands as
well as on the mainland from Mexico
to Uruguay on the eastern seaboard
to Peru on the west.
During the seventh century manioc
was planted in South China, Malaga
and the East Indies. Before this it
was carried to many other lands by
Portuguese traders who took 1t along
as food stuff on their long voyages to
India and it is believed that thf
accounts for its presence in Asia.
