THE JEWISH
QUIZ BOX

BY RABBI SAMUEL j. FOX
Copyright, 1913, Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)

QUESTION: What is the mean.
ina and origin Of the term
HHebrew?" Submitted by F. c.,
Chicago. Ill.,
ANSWER: The term Hebrew
is a name generally given to the
Jews by other peoples. Jews US
ually did not call themselves by
this term, except for rare excep-
tons like the case of Jonah who
declared 81 am a Hebrew" (Jonah
1:) and even there he may have
used the term so as to refer to
names familiar to strangers in
whose midst he : found himself.
The term has at least two possible
origins. Some writer's claim that
it originates in the name ''ever'

given to one of "Shem's sons"
Genesis 1O:2N-the son from
whom the people of Israel even
tually developed. From this we
get the term "Ivri" which became
'1brai" in Aramaic, "Hebraeus"
IN Latin and finally Hebrew" in
English. Most authorities claim
that the term Hebrew" comes
from the proposition lever"
which means across" or "be-
yond." The Jews were consider
ed as the people who came from
beyond" the Euphrates, or from
across" the Euphrates. Some
claim that the term stems from
an expression denoting a river
bank" and was given to the early
Jews because they were dwell
erS in land of rivers" or that
they lived near river banks.
There was a time in Jewish his
tory when the Hebrews who
went to Egypt lived near the
Nile.
QUESTION: What is the mean
ing Of the name "David?"
ANSWER: The name David
comes from a Hebrew noun
meaning friend" or beloved"
QUESTION: What is the mean
ing of the name "Solomon?"
ANSWER: This name comes
from the Hebrew "Shlomo" which
in turn comes from the Hebrew
noun "Shalom" which means
peace"
QUESTION: What is the deriv-
alton of the name "Shulamith?"
ANSWER: The name "Shula-
NTH" is the feminine counterpart
of the name Solomon" and con-
sequently stems from a term
meaning peace"
Il
QUESTION: What is the origin
of the name "Noah?"
ANSWER: The name Noah"
which was given to the survivor
of the Biblical Flood, is common
ly believed to have stemmed from
a Hebrew term meaning com
fort" or "quiet" or peaceful" in
dicating that Noah, by COMPARE
son, was a man of peace and quiet
in his time. l have always won
dered whether there is any con-
nection between this name and
similar Hebrew term VIII ic h
means ito lead" or ito guide" in
dicating that Noah was leader
in his time.

One unexpected difficulty was
encountered In the construction
Of the lake. Originally planned to
tnundate ga acres. the lake size
had to be reduced because Of a
law, passed by the 1888 General
Assembly. limiting dam sizes.
The Law provides that special
paved spillways must be provided

high or impounds more than l..
900 900 gallons of water.

Provisions we're made TO en-
large the lake TO the originally
planned size as soon as permits
can be obtained.
The driving course surrounding

District Decision Due
On Racial Stand at
Recreation Meeting
BY Colt HendIey, Jr.

~ Wi ttSHotSys ~.
The Commissioners this week
face decision on Astructing their
representative on the District
Recreation Board how to vote
when a motion to discontinue
segregation In the city's play
grounds comes up for action June
IA.
Budget Officer Walter Fowler,
who is the Commissioners repre-
sentative on the Recreation Board.
said yesterday he still is waiting
for instructions.
Meanwhile, indications are that
the Interior. Department. which
has been leading the drive to
eliminate racial segregation on
Fairgrounds here. will not be salts
fed with a compromise plan which
will be presented to the Recre-
alton Board.
The compromise plan will be
contained in a statement of policy
now being prepared by the Rec
reation Boards bylaws commit
tee-and is believed to promise
the end Of segregation over a
period of time. The plan would
allow bi-racial meetings in school
buildings as a first step and pre-
sunably would extend gradually
the bi-racial experiment on two
Fairgrounds already set for this
summer.
Root to Introduce Motion.
Irving c. Root. superintendent
Of National Capital Parks and the
Interior Departments representa-
tive on the Recreation Board. said
he intended to introduce the mo-
ton for complete abolition Of seq
regation in recreation as he has
been instructed by the Interior
Department.
''I don't know whether a COM
promise plan will satisfy the In
terror Department or not" Mr..
Root commented. "They seem to
want to move it along faster"
Mr.. Root said he was not famil-
lar with contents of the compro-
mise plan, but assumed it pro-
vided for the gradual elimination
of segregation. Other Recreation
Board members have indicated
the policy statement is not COM
pleted as yet and would not dis
cuss the details before the boards
meeting.
Mr.. Root and MFR. Fowler will
be the only two Recreation Board
members to 60 to the next meet
ing with instructions on how to
vote.
Education Board Silent.
The Board Of Education last
Thursday refused to instruct its
member who serves on the Rec
reation Board. This member.
Albert e. Steniem, indicated he
was in favor of a compromise
plan and felt free to vote for one
If it is offered. He said he felt
that If the Board OF Education
had wanted him to vote for COM
plete abolishment Of segregation.
1t would have instructed him to
do so.
Representative Klein, Democrat.
of New York earlier in the week
asked the Commissioners to in
struct not only Mr.. Fowler to vote
for abolition of segregation, but
also the four members at large
which they appoint to the board
The Commissioners have ac-
knowledged the receipt Of the LETT
ter from Mr.. Klein. promising
careful study.
It is regarded highly unlikely
that the Commissioner will in
struct any one but Mr.. Fowler. The
Recreation Board has been regard
ed as autonomous since its crea-
ton. But what the Commissioners
tell Mr.. Fowler undoubtedly will
be influenced by the unannounced
conference held with President
Truman two weeks ago. Mr.. Tru-
man called the three Commission
els to his Office to discuss the rec
reatien situation.

How to Repair Cracks,
Holes i'm Concrete
BY w. F.

EVERY ONCE IN a while the
problem of repairing concrete floors
up. The question is asked,
'eWhat can be done with a bad crack
that leaks water? How can a re-
pair be made that will be both sub
stantial and Waterproof"
Unless there is considerable vi
bration on the floor, it is a simple
matter to waterproof the floor by
first cutting out the crack into a v
shaped groove to a depth of at least
2 inches. Sweep water over the
newly cut concrete removing all
loose particles of cement and sand.
Prepare a stiff and waterproof
mortar by mixing together l part
Portland cement and 2 parts clean,
sharp sand, and wet down with a
solution of l part liquid waterproof
ing and 8 parts of water.
Immediately before filling the
grooves with this new mortar, brush
over the clean, damp surfaces a
slush or bonding coat made by stirr-
ing into a solution of l part liquid
Waterproofing and 8 parts water
enough Portland cement to form a
thick, creamy, cold water paint.
While this cement wash is still damp,
apply the, new mortar and trowel it
to a smooth finish.
In a similar way the ruts and
holes in a concrete floor can be cut
out to a depth of IL" below the
finished floor and new patches ap-
piled, which will adhere to the
underlying concrete and which will
be waterproof, hard, and dustproof.
Patches of this type harden over
night so that the repairs can be made
on Saturday afternoon or even on
Sunday, and the floor will be disable
on the following Monday.
