While it has always been known that the Jews as @ race have been well repre- ented in many arts, vet the fact that they are supreme in at least two arts, that of the violin and the plano, will come as a distinct surprise to most people.

The great white plague, which is no respector or persons or favorable economic conditions, is known to pass by the doors of Jiws living in the most congested neighborhoods. De- spite unfavorable surroundings and sanitary conditions, the ghetto dwell- ers are known to suffer less and die less from ravages of the white plague than the dwellers of the cholcest lo- cations. This is evidently one of the divine compensations of the Jew for his poverty and suffering. Many explanations of this curious phenomena have been offered. It was thought that the Jewish dietary laws, which call for a careful inspection of animals after ritual slaughter, had something to do with it, and so they may. The Jewish dietary laws have saved the Jews from many a disease which 1s known to have reaped its thousands among the gentile peoples during the middle ages. The racial hardilioodness and resistance of the Jew to disease was another explana- tion that was offered of this curious fact. The latest solution of this bafMing fact is given by Dr. M. Fishberg, an eminent American sclentist and an authority on Jewish race psychology. According to him, the explanation of the comparative immunity of Jews to tuberculosls lfes in the fact that the Jews for last 2,000 years have been city dwellers. Eecause the Jews have lived in cities for so long & time and become severely exposed to infections of all sorts they have ac- uired an immunity which is net shared by other peoples who have only recently migrated from the coun- try to the cities, despite the popular fallacy to the contrary. If this should be so, then the ghetto and the host of laws which deprived the Jews of the country and crowded them into the cities, instead of being a curse, proved a blessing to the Jewish people. Nor is this the first time that the very instruments which had been devised for the destruction of the Jew proved his salvation. The theory of Dr. Fishberg may or may not be true, but it will certainly have the effect of confirming an old tradj- tion that the Jews live under the laws of a special providence. to South Carolina Man Gets Firmer! Meat in Vegetable by Method. From the New York Tribune. J. M. Hilton of Kershaw, Lancaster county, S. C. has had considerable success in grafting tomatoes on jlm- Son weeds and growing a very hardy tomato, which is blight and drought roof. According to specimens ex- Elhllod. the meat of the tomato-jimson fruit is firmer than the regular tomato. Mr. Hilton plants his tomato seed according to custom,~and when the plants get to the height of six or more inches he grafts branches to the jimson weed. A firm-fleshed to- mato and a bush that resists drought and blight have been the dream of truckers. If his plan, which has worked out very sucocessfully on a small scale several seasons, can be enlarged to a commercial scale, the graft system may become a hobby with truck growers. —_— Language Proves Age. From the Cleviland Plain Dealer. 1t is said that in North and South America no_ less than 120 or 130 absolutely distinct languages exist. ‘As_the growth of languages is slow. it is thought that the fact of the ex- istence of 80 great a variety of speech on the western continent proves that the native red men have inhabited them for many thousands of years.

The coming of Dr. Chaim Weiz- mann. president of the world Zionist organization. to this country has again placed the responsibility for the upbuilding of Palestine upon the Jews of the United States. And this is as it should be. The future of Palestine as a Jewish homeland is largely in the hands of the Jews of this country. Economically ruined, the Jews of Europe can only con- tribute the brain and men power to the reclamation of the Holy Land The money must come from the Jews of this country. It is perhaps for guch a purpose that Providence has placed nearly one-fourth of the Je ish race in’'such a favorable social nd economic position. They must do what the rest of Jewry would have done had they possessed the means and ability. it is from the blending of the two—the men and brain power of the Jews of the east and the finan- cial assistance of the Jews of the west—that Palestine will be rebuilt. Perhaps more so than ever before the coming of Dr. Weizmann is lkely to prove tinis time historie. As is well known, Israel Zangwill has made some definite charges against the Zionist movement and its leadership. With typical boldness. Zangwill did not dellver his fling and run away, out remained here long enough to answer all counter charges that might be made. Now, although many answers have been made to his now famous address, no definite and = thoritative statement has as vet co: Irom the responsible head of th Zionist organization. The presence therefore, in this country of the of- al spokesman of the Zionist organ- szation. will afford an _opportunity Tor such a statement to,be made. It is likely that it was just for this that Zangwill has delaved. his return to England. At any rate, should suppo- sition prove to be facts, then Ameri- can audiences and newspaper readers may be prepared for the most Sril- liant display of wit by the two most brilliant Jews living, Tsrael Zangwill and Dr. Chatm Weizmann. Outrages Against Jews in Beriin. The Jewish quarter in Berlin re- sembled during the disturbance there n armed camp. Police armed with machine guns, hand grenades and ri. fles Were standing on the street cor. ners, and inhabitants of the are; were allowed to pass only after care- ful scrutiny. In the Jewish quarter, ransacked until it looked llke a dev astated area, hundreds have lost « erything. Harrowing stories of the attack are gradually evolving out of the confusion and chaos. Thero are storles of Jews stripped. and pursued through the streets, there are reports even of several who had been flung into the river. Typtcal of many other assaults, is the one made upon Dr. Huglo Berhhirdt, physician and war veteran, who was severely wounded tle and was awarded.-the. iron as well as the first and second class order of Saxon 'Knighthood. No n was s , not even such mcwrvod their "fatherland.” Economically ruined and politically hounded, the Jews of Germany find themselves on the brink of complete degeneration. Tley are in the same position In which the Bast European brethren found themsél¥es during the war and shortly after it.
