Jews Sitting Ducks
For Heart Seizures

NEWARK, Nj, (JTA)-Jews are
far more susceptible to myocardial
infraction = commonly known as
heart attack-according to study
released by Beth Israel Hospital
here.
The study showed that even
though less than SO per cent of all
the patients at Beth Israel during
the 7-year study were Jewish, al
most II per cent of the patients
with this type of heart ailment
were Jewish.
DR.. Irving L. Applebaum ascribed
the high incidence of the disease
among Jews to two main factors.
The first factor, he said, was the
large number of Jews who have
diabetes, "a disease which this
study shows to be related to myo-
cardial infraction." The second,
he believes, is that various sociolog-
ical pressureS create certain emo
tional states relating to this dis
ease"

Sun CooIinq
The Negev?
lis Possible
By David Schwartz
Copyright, 1855, Jewish Telegraphic


Agency, Inc.)
WHEN THE WRIGHT brothers
flew their first aeroplane down at
Kitty Hawk, NC, a paragraph ap-
peared in few newspapers.
l haven't seen much more than
that about the visit to this coun-
try of DR.. H. Tabor of the Ma
tional Physical Laboratory of Is
rael. DR.. Tabor is bound for Phoe-
nix, Ariz., where he is to partici-
pate in a symposium on applied
solar energy research.
DR.. Tabor has developed solar
engine which has commercial pos
sibilities. Scientists in many parts
of the world have been working
on the problem of getting some of
the energy which the sun, with
munificient hand, scatters all about
us. In America, scientists have al
ready developed the means by
which houses may be moderately
warmed, and down in Americus,
Ca, the Bell Telephone people are
even experimenting with tele-
phone run by sun power.
But the Tabor engine is said to
go beyond than all this. It is
rated some 20 percent more eff
ficient than any other solar engine
thus far developed. The Tabor en-
CINE will soon be tried out for the
first time industrially to generate
steam power to work the Dead
Sea chemical plant.
IN THE MIDST of the great
excitement in Israel about the find
ing of oil, the members of the
Knesset in a body turned out to
witness a demonstration of the
solar engine.
Ben Gurion wanted to know If
the engine could be used to distill
sea water to make it available
for irrigation. He was told that
it could do this but at prohibi-
tive cost. Ben Gurion was excited
when he was told that it was
commercially feasible to refriger-
ate homes with the engine. "We
could cool all the homes in the
Negeb," he exclaimed.
WHEN THEODORE III E RE- L
wrote "Das Junenstaat," he gave
the manuscript to a friend to read.
The friend finished it and began
crying.
Herzl thought that the friend
had been touched by the vision OF
the salvation of his people. But
the friend soon confided to Herzl
that he was weeping on another
account. The manuscript convinced
him that Herzl had lost his mind
and he was weeping at the tragedy
that had befallen a fine man.
If HerZl suffered mental aberra-
in becoming a Zionist, millions OF
others shared this alteration with
him. But HerZl did have a rich,
extravagant phantasy that some
times seemed to overshoot the
mark. Thus Herzl predicted not
only the establishment of the Jew
ish state, but went on to predict
that a refrigeration industry would
become one of the major activities
of the Jewish state, and that Israel
would show the world how to make
the hot lands habitable.
Many people must have read
this prediction with disbelief. But
Herzps prediction may be coming
true. The solar engine may refrlg-
crate the Negeb-and the Arab
states as well. Let us hope it will
refrigerate their tempers /as well
as their skins.

Critical Shortage Of

Placement Of u Of ID Grad

In State

The critical shortage of teachers
in Delaware schools was highlight-
ed this week by a report on the
placement of University of Del
aware graduates issued by Mrs.
Geraldine Wyatt, director of the
university's business guidance and
placement bureau.
During the past year the univer-
sity's school of education produced
33 elementary and &c secondary
teachers. Over the corresponding
period, Mrs. Wyatt received re-
quests from Delaware schools alone
for lis elementary and 126 second
airy teachers. An additional $50 job
opportunities were reported in
neighboring states.
Demand for teachers is UMPIRE
cedented," Mrs. Wyatt reported,
but while this demand is nation
wide, it is not true to say that
there is teacher shortage every
where or that graduates can find
positions in every locality. Some
metropolitan areas do not have I'M
usual needs and renlacements for
big city schools are readily found.
1t is in the rural and suburban
areas that additional teachers are
most needed and even there, grad
yates in some fields are difficult to
place. Openings for language teach

good character and citizenship

tivities are directed toward service
