MAGNETIC Magnes

think one might have called Judah
Magnes young Man Eloquent"
for even in his last days, he had a
young look about him and always
he was eloquent. IF one reads his
speeches, he will scarcely sense
the clue to his rise, but that is the
way with eIOquence. The great
orator is not often very readable.
1t is only those who have heard
Magnes speak who can really un-
derstand the impression he made
ON the diverse elements in Jewry-
why the orthodox Jews of the East
side followed him and why Louis
Marshall was magnetized by him
and the most aristOcratic of all
Reform temples chose him as their
rabbi.
AS essentially the orator, 1 sus-
pect that the last days of Magnes
were tinctured with a peculiar
chagrin. The orator above all
needs the audience, and Magnes
must have known that his was no
longer the audience which he so
electrifyingly moved twenty-five
and thirty years ago. Most of that
audience had repudiated the things
for whcih he had come to stand in
the last year. The great orator
must be in rapport with his audi
ence. Like Shakespeare's Antony
at the burial of Caesar, he says,
II tell you that which you your
selves do know" but the Jews of
today, by and large, do not "know"
the same things which Magnes
professed to know.
DIR. Magnes once wrote a sketch
about his father, how he used to
see him bent over the thick vol
umes of Graetz's History of the
Jews. Young Judah absorbed this
devotion to his people from his
father. He went to Hebrew Union
College. That institution was not
as close to the pulses of Jewish
life as it is today. ZiOnism was
more "trefa" than pork at the
Cincinnati institution then, but 1
suspect that the mental picture
of his father reading the history
of the Jews had been sharply en-
graved on his subcOnsciOus mind
that the Watery bOmbast of the
early Reform period made little
of an impression on him. Rather,
he felt himself like his father de-
string to know more and more
of Jewish life.
In an unbound book-the great
throbbing East Side of New York
of that day-Magnes continued his
education. Reform rabbis in those
days were not want to come to
that section. It wasn't pretty: the
tens of thousands of poor immi-
grants, the tenement houses, the
Jews with their boards. Who was
it that said only the ugly is beau
tiful? Magnes saw the beauty of
it. He recognized that in it was
vitality, and idealism = preci-
GUS ore that one had but to re-
move only the encumbering earth
to make it shine.
He identified himself with these
elements of Jewry. He began to
challenge the drift which Reform
Judaism was taking. He insisted
on a more Jewish Judaism. He saw
that we grow stronger and more
beautiful only when we are more
ourselves.

calls for planning or sanding of the
top, bottom or edges, the chief
reason for door trouble Is found
in the improper alignment of the
lock itself and the striking-plate
which is set into the door jamb.
In order to have a door which
will not rattle when closed, it is
essential that the size of the holes
in the plate be just enough to ad-
init the latch tongue or the bolt.
In other words, there must be
snug, tight fit. Naturally this
means that variance of as little as
one-sixteenth inch may prevent the
door from closing and locking
properly.
This problem is overcome with tar
greater ease than one might I'M
agine, and the procedure is as
follows:
Bend down until your eye is on
a level with the lock and the plate.
Close the door far enough to see
If the latch is falling into place in
the striking ng-plate. If it fails to slip
in you can see exactly where the
trouble is, and note whether the
plate should be moved up or down
in order to engage the hole.
As a rule, light tap with
hammer and screwdriver on the
edge of the plate in the desired di-
rection will bring about the desired
results. The same method may be
used in bringing the plate forward
or backward as seems necessary.

New Air Valve
Aids Efficiency

By D. M. Derwin

A radiator filled with steam in
shortest possible time insures econ

positive control of firing cycles as a
general rule, due to the human ele-
ment involved.
Frequently, steam pressures are
held for prolonged periods and ex-
cessive pressures are quite common.
Sudden draft, weather changes, lack
of attention or lack of proper con-
trolls can cause boiler pressureS to
climb as high as 10 pounds.
A new air valve being marketed
at present will insure the utmost in
heating performances and economy
under the most extreme conditions,
and will give free and steady vent
ing at pressures up to 10 pounds.
It provides a positive, seal against
water. " ~
This valve is for venting radiators
Of hand-fired gravity steam heat
ing systems. In attractive chrome
finished exterior, this air valve has
double shell construction, providing
separate passages for air and con-
densation.
The inner shell separates water
and air, preventing kissing and
splitting. A battle defects condensa-

The float is also ribbed and de-

Sunshine"
BY Mrs. Nellie Mayo Taylor

torial opinion of The Arizona Sun.
The Editor.)
Hello, there, here and everywhere.
Well, we'll it is over, excitement of
the holidays, turkey, trimmings
and soforth. That is the only ex-
planation I can give for the over
looking of this column last week.
I am easily excited over such
things as holidays, pretty cars,
praise, compliments and last but
not least, tall, tan and terrific
brutes of the opposite sex. Don't
those things excite you? Hmm,
wonder. Gee! it's wonderful for
readers end friends to tell YOU they
missed your column and they won
dered about you. It does a little
something to your inside, you
know, that little tender snot-
which is very seldom touched. If
you know what I mean. How heau-
tiful is that something called Graf
itude. How wonderful it would be
if one would leave open the doors
recention and receive the Blessings
and Inner Peace that is waiting TO
enter at all times, even when the
road seems the roughest and the
night the darkest. Doesn't it make
you feel just little bit funny,
when you are depressed and sorry
for yourself as though you haven't t
a friend in the whole big world ?
The best remedy for that is to be
grateful for the things which have
materialized in YOUR favor, you will
be surprised. You can walk the
streets and see people worse off
than you are, visit the hospit9ls
and see persons worse off than YOU,
visit the iails and other institutions
and see how blessed it is too be
free, and privileged to enjoy many
things that are denied others. In
our busy workdav world. we take
too many things for granted. When
someone does something for us, we
think it is no more than thev
should do. When any one does the
least favor for us it should make
us grateful because after al1> they
do not have to do it. On the other
hand when we do something for
someone regardless how trifle we
appreciate a little gratitude. Let's
follow the golden rule, "Do unto
others as you would have them do
unto you." You will find that Life
will be moro beautiful, than you
ever dreamed of.
Bye Now, So-long, till then.
