~ were employed in the work
of excavation the preparatory
works Of the casting had been
carried on simultaneously with

been surprised at the spectacle
offered to his view.
At 600 yards from the well. and
|circularly arranged around it as q
central point, rose 1920 reverber-
ating ovens, each six feet in diam
eter, and separated from each
other by an interval Of three feet.
The circumference occupied by
these 1900 ovens presented q
length Of two. miles. Being all con-
structed on the same plan, each
with its high. quadrangular chim-
|ney, they produced most singular
effect.
Each Of these furnaces contained
nearly 100000 pounds weight OF
metal. These furnaces, constructed
of fireproof brick, were especially
adapted for burning pit coal, with
a fiat bottom upon which the iron
bars were laid. This bottom, in
clined at an angle of Is degrees,
allowed the metal to flow into the
receiving troughs; and the 1000
converging trenches carried the
molten metal down to the central
well.
The day following that on which
the works of the masonry and bor-
ing had been completed, Barbicane
set to work upon the central
mould. His object now was to raise
within the center of the well, and

900 feet high, and nine feet in
diameter, which should exactly
fill up the space reserved for the
bore of the Columbiad. This cylin.
der was composed of mixture oi
clay and sand, with the addition
of a little hay and straw. The space
left between the mould and the
masonry was intended to be filed
up by the molten metal, which
would thus form the walls six feet
in thickness. This cylinder. in or

Leasing, not only opposes zionisn,
but organized the present opposi-
ton. The actual basis is fear.
Only Nazis and other anti-Semites
have repeated the accusations OF
divided loyalty that Leasing Ros-
enwald hurls against Zionists.
His hysteria was forecast in the
Biblical Books of Leviticus (26:1O
and Deuteronomy (28:65) "Thou
shalt have a trembling heart, and
shalt fear night and day." 1.-THE
sound of a driven leaf shall chase
them and they shall flee when none
pursueth." But he has nothing to
fear. Shakespeare said "our fears
do make us traitors" LEASING

Jewish history. During other per-

QUESTION: Why are Jews pro-
hibited from eating blood or any
flesh containing blood?
ANSWER: Although the Bibli-
cal commands are found in Levitt
icus III, II; VII, 26 and XVII, 10
ad the injunction has been solemn
ly repeated in numerous places in
the Bible, the Bible itself merely
states the reason for it as follows.
"The life of the flesh is in the
blood and 1 (God) have given it
to you upon the altar to make
atonement for your souls" The

In 1921, in Philadelphia, the late
julius ROsenwald said, 1.-THE only
way to help our cO-religiOnists IN
these benighted lands is to help
them where they are. I have new
er been q believer in moving peo-
ple en- masses from one country
to another trying to establish them
with funds" Yet, one year later
the League of Nations raised an
international loan to move 1,4OO,-
600 Greeks out of Turkey and 2OO,-
600 Turks out of Greece.
Subsequently, julius Rosenwald
pledged $6,OOO,OOO to move the
Jews to Biro-Bidjan, much further
from Central European Jewry than
is Palestine. This re-settlement
scheme was a failure in contrast
to Palestine. Other Jews, without
any knowledge of Jewish history
or of contemporary history tried
to settle Jews in Santa Domingo.
The result was also failure. In
deed, all attempts at Jewish col
onial settlement outside of Pales-
tine have proven a failure. How
much good those funds would have
done Palestine!
If Julius ROsenWald were alive
today, he would probably change
his views. He did so once before.
In 1914 he twas firmly opposed to
a special Jewish organization for
war relief" as his biOgrapher re-
lates. However, julius ROsenwald
reversed his attitude after confer
ences with Louis Marshall and
Jacob HI. ScTiff.. Apparently, Les
sing ROSenWald has neither the
open mind of his father, nor the
willingness to listen to wise cOun-
sci. Leasing seems imperviOus to
experience or to advice, except
from a few muddleheaded rabbis
who led him into his unhappy
plight.
The original German rabbis in
the early 1905 tried to devise q
new anti-Eretz Yisrael theology to
fit the new liberal political trend

might have been to inculcate man
with a horror of bloodshed and a
disgust for bloodthirsty individ-
uals. The Bible recognized the
bloodstream as the principle car
rier. of life and thus dedicated its
function to the realm of sacredness
and withdrew it from ordinary use
as an article of food. This served
as an ideal way Of impressing
mankind that the essence of life,
whether man or beast, is to be re-
garded as far above the scope of
everyday material entities. It is,
rather, to be looked upon as the
Divine possession of the Almighty
who instills life in all of his Gre
atoms and to whom the source of
life must always be attributed.
QUESTION: Why has the
slaughtering of animals been Tele-
gated to piOus and especially
trained men called ShOchtim
(slaughterers)?
ANSWER: Originally, when
every Israelite was the ideal of
purity and righteousness it was
permissible for anyone (even
women) to slaughter an animal
for food. Even then it was con-
sidered a ritual and was accompa-
MED by blessing. With the pass
ing of time and the Diaspora, when
sin became excessively prevalent
there was only one thing to be
done in order to preserve slaught-
ering as a ritual instead of a
barbaric passion. So, the sages
ordered the practice limited to
specially trained men who were
religious and pure. Beaulieu once
wrote: Consider the one circum-
stance that no Jewish mother
ever killed chicken with her own
hand, and you will understand
why homicide is rarer among the
Jews than among any other hui
man group"
It is to be noted that the Jewish
method of slaughter causes the
maximum effusion of blood. Ac-
cording to various psychologists,
loss of consciousness is caused by
lack of blood supply to the brain
The severe rules regarding the
sharpness of the slaughtering
knife and the method of killing
which consists in cutting the
esophagus and trachea, the jugu-
lar vein and cartoid arteries cause
instantaneous Inconsistencies and
results in the least pain and suf-
fering to the animal of any known
method Of slaughtering.

TAFT SAYS THAT ACT
WILL BE AMENDED

ANCHORAGE - Congressional action to remedy Alaska's shipping problems, including repeal or e. mendment of the Jones Act is ex- pected within 60 days, Stanley B. Taton, spokesman of a Fairbanks delegation which recently visited Washington, said here this week.
 The delegation was assured, said Mir. Taton, that pending legislation will do much to correct shipping problems to the Territory.
 Many Washington big-wigs are completely in the dark about low the Jones Act affects Alaska, , he said. "The delegation was as sured by senator Robert Taft that the Jones Act will be amended
 Senator Taft was vitally interest ed in Alaska's problems and a con ference which was originally scheduled for only 15 minutes ex- tended into an hour and 15 min utes in which the Senator promis- ed that legislation will be intro duced to benefit the Territory.
