AROUND THE CITY > By Nannie RINITY COLLEGE students are glving a “happy ending” to the ancient tragedy of the llon and the lamb—with the lamb lying down to be fed instead of eaten. There is a church drive on at Trin- ity and every girl in college is devis- ing original methods of earning money. The most successful, so far, is the scheme of the senlors to serve breakfasts to the sleepy-heads who like to stay in bed on Saturday morn- ings. These patrons, nearly all soph- omores and freshmen, ale allowed to select from the menu and le in luxurious state 'while the seniors Lring trays to their beds.

The possibility of the extinction of the at one time nous house of Rothschild s a subject of comment in both the Jewish and general press. The Associated Press correspondent, writing from London “The English branc schild family, which b fnant position in through ne three generations be- cause of the founder's stroke of strategy in obtaining the first of the result of the battle of W 100, seems destined to pass comparative obscurity. The death of Nathaniel, fourth heéad of the firm in direct succession, was a surprise to London, and the revelation at the inquest that he died by his own hand was a greater shock. ¥It was the sorrow of the last years of the late Lord Rothschild that neither of his two sons, Lionel and Nathaniel, gave promise of aptitude for carrying on the dynasty so long | fortified in its own quaint building in the beart of the c! where land s as in Wall street. for science nel is an au- s of the Roth- held a dom- ritish finance | being the mainten- ate zoo at his country estate and the writing of books and pamphlets on zoological matters.

Dynasties have a way of disappearing, and the Roth- #child dynasty will not be any ex- ception to the rule, though it will be jenerally missed. For many years the_most noted of the family lived in England, where they rose not only 1o great wealth, but to great power and influence as well. On the Lon- don Exchange a word from the Roth- schilds was law. In Jewish affairs s well the Rothschilds predominated, earning for themselves the title “Princes of Israel.

Rosa Raisa, the famous Jewish so- prano, has been chosen as leading soprano in Toscanini's first pro- duction of “Nerone” at La Scala of Milan. That is, of course, a signal honor and no_ small tribute to the great art of Rosa Raisa. Toscanini is known as the greatest conductor of this age. “Nerone” is the work of Boito, “the composer of “Mefistofele,” orator with Verdl in *Otello” alstaff” and a poet of not @ is probably the most cel ted opera house in the world. To appear in La Scala is equivalent to receiving the accolade or the laurel wreath, and to sing a leading role at La Scala is to pile up super- latives. Rosa Ralsa of the Chicago Civic Opera Company, a Jewess who has made for herself a name as one of the leading vocal artists in this country, is one of the many refuta- tions of the old cry, periodically raised, that the Jews are not artlsts, British Chief Rabbl Denounces Outrages Against Jews. In scathing language, Dr. Joseph Hertz, chief rabbi of the British Em- pire. denounced the outrages com- mitted against the Jews in the Ukraine, at a meeting of the Federa- tion of Ukrainian Jews held in Lon- don, England. By way of comparison he ‘drew attention to the humane work that had been called into ex- istence by the great calamity that had overtaken the Japanese. “The calamit; "_he said, “had thrilled humanity. Even the Chinese coolies had given up the boycott against the Japanese people in face of this cataclysm. One hundred and fifty thousand human beings had been done to death, not by the blind forces of nature, but by human fiends, in the Ukralne, and the world Is E There are 300 Jewish war hundred thousand children demoralized, dying, doomed victims of disease and death, crime and vagabondage.” He concluded by expressing the hope that the world will come to the rescue of this vast mass of infant humanity. The Jewish Home. Whatever may be said of Jews and Judaism, the Jewish home has stood for an ideal which has been realized during many trying centurfes. From Nomadic days to the present cramped apartment, the Jewish home has been a sanctuary in which the father was the priest and the mother the priestess, and in which both served at the altar of childhood. Therein have always been fostered the virtues of domesticity, which have made it the proverbial standard for emula- tion. No less today than in the past the ‘Jewish home is the heart and soul ‘of the Jewish people, cach one a link in the mightly chain which holds them together and binds them with the spirit that combats ad- versity and triumphs over vicissitude, Modern vagaries have in no way des- troyed its sanctities and traditions, its precious beauties continue to be preserved in the midst of unfriendly environment. Prosperity and luxury do not dim the glow which the ages have imparted to it. The Jewish home is the glory of Israel, unmatch- ed and unrivaled. ——— GARAGE DOOR STRESSED. Held No Construction Feature De- serves More Consideration. ‘While the home garage still exists on paper no feature of its construc- tion deserves more careful considera- tion than choice of a door. A poorly planned door may be a source of continued regret, while one that can- not be operated with a minimum of effort will plague the patience of a modern Job. Wide openings are essential in this type of construction. Both conveni- ence and safety demand that ample width of .entrance be provided. Damaged fenders may be the price of sacrificing this detall in an effort to lower structural costs. THE SUNDAY STAR, Sale of Beds | Here is a rare chance to get that extra bed you need.
