By the Associated Press PITTSBURGH, Pa.. uly 4.—A study oF the economic possibilities of Palestine with the view of enlisting capital for its upbuilding will be made by a commission of American Zionists and business men, the Zionist Organization of America decided here last night at the closing session of its annual convention. Appointment of the commission, election of officers and adoption of resolutions marked the session. Louis New York, was re-elected the Rev. Hirsch Masliansky and Reuben Brainin, both of New York, were elected honorary vice chairmen. Other officers named were: Judge Bernard A. Rosenblatt, New York; Max Schulman, Chicago; Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, Cleveland, and Miss Henrietta Szold, New ' York, _vice chairmen; Isaac Melster, New York, treasurer, and David Tannenbaum, New York, associate treasurer. The Palestine commission will be headed by Bernard A. Rosenblatt, New York, chairman. Resolutions call for the raising of $500,000 this year for the purchase of land in Palestine, indorsing the movement to establish a conservatory of music in Palestine as a memorial to all Jewish soldiers who died in the world war, and suggesting a day be set aside each year for observance as Palestine day by American Jews. President Coolidge was extended the “sincere gratitude” of the organ- ization for his “support of the Zionist movement.” Another resolution declared that all members of the organization and affiliated bodies should contribute service and money to the Palestine foundation fund. PORTUGUESE AVIATORS PROTESTING NEGLECT By the Associated Press. LISBON, July 4—The alleged nega- tive attitude of the government to- ward the Portuguese air force, and its failure to assist to any great ex- tent the officers engaged in the recent flight from Lisbon to Macao, is de- clared to have been the cause of a recent mutiny of twenty-nine avia- tion officers. These men entrenched themselves in the Amadora aviation camp, near Lisbon, and for several days refused to surrender, although they were surrounded by nearly 4,000 troops. The immediate cause of the mutiny was the dismissal of Maj. Duarte as army aviation chief and the appoint- ment in his stead of Col. Morais Sarmento, whom the officers refused to recognize on the ground that his appointment had not been sanctioned by Parliament and was therefore il- legal. The minister of war, Maj. Olavo, whose decree removed Maj. Duarte, ordered the disaffected officers to present themselves to Col. Sarmento, but this they refused to do, and, ‘with the men under their command, entrenched themselves and refused to surrender uniess Maj. Olavo resigned. Later the enlisted men were sent from the camp, the officers not wishing to invoive them in responsibility fof the mutiny. Nearly 4,000 troops were rushed to the camp, which was surrounded. Gen. Pedroso de Lima with other offi- cers finally entered the camp un- armed and per; led the mutineers to surrender. . They were imprisoned pending court’ martial 319.1 319.1 3201 71 704 54 54 44 45 37 38y 31 31 24 24 164 6 321 702 54 44 384 31 25 73 54 44 38 6 4 3 1 6 Russians Laugh at Caricaturing Lenin, T' Straws show which way the wind blo and jokes, little witticisms, puns, etc., show how a na- tion thinks, according to a Moscow correspondent of the New York Her- ald-Tribune. Judge and Life and “Mutt and Jeff,” “Simplicissimus” and “Kladderdatch” will be the raw mate- rial of the future historian just as much as written records, public ad- dresses and oflicial statements. In fact. Eduard Fuchs has traced all the cartoons and caricatures of Jews from the earliest days of print- ing down to the present, and with this data alone has constructed a the- ory of Jewish life and a history of Jewish contributions to civilization The cartoonst and clown are co- workers of the serious student, for they can often crystallize in a single sketch or in a simple pleasantry the essence of a whole country’'s reaction to_a certain event or cond Take Russia. Before t was u story ‘current w began, “How many the czar commences A Russian peasant his shirt once in the winter ason and once in summer. A Cos- sack changes his shirt once every spring. summer, autumn and winter. A workingman changes his shirt once a month. A Russian bank clerk changes his shirt once a fortnight A Russian government official changes his shirt once a week. To make the story short, a Russian general changes his shirt every day. A Russian cab- inet member changes his shirt before every meal. And the czar? The czar always had two soldiers standing by his side. One puts a shirt on him and the other immediately pulls it off. Vodka Was Scomrge. What words summarized the aver- | e individual's knowledgé of Russia {before the war? They were “czar.” “vodka” and “pogrom.” The last Inot “a subject for jest, but here the | tale of the czar's “shirt tells better than a long article how the ordinary backward Russian peasant looked ubon his monarch as the “little father’ who had reached the acme of perfec- tion. Vodka—that terrible 96 per cent al- coholic fire water which flowed freely in Russia before the days of prohi- tion—had the effect, we estimate, of intoxicating half the country's popu- lation over the fifty-two week ends of the year. The memory of those days is” preserved in the following dialogue: = A woman riding in a cab asked the driver, or “isvoschik,” who did not seem to sit t0o firmly on his seat. whether there was an isvoschi in Moscow who was not drunk. “Yes, replied the isvoschik after a moment, | “there he is," and he pointed to the bronze figure of Phaeton driving his horses which stands on the portico of the Big Theater. Today. too, soviet Russia has witticisms and quips which in som cases are handed around from mouth |to mouth and in_other cases are printed in the pro-Communist weekly comic journals. The oral jokes are usually the invention of some fertile nep (bourgeois) mind and serve as a sort of valve for all the irritation the bourgeoisie here feels against the bolsheviks. For instance: Why was RyKov chogen to succeed Lenin?" * + ¢ “Because Lenin's brains can best be preserved in alcohol.” (Rykov Is said to drink a good deal.) Robbers Jest at Lenin. Here is another. When Lenin died all the cities were placarded with signs which read, we are continuing his work.” Now the story is told that on a certain might robbers entered a house and, after taking what they pleased to take, left the following note: “Lenin is dead, but we are continuing his work The same slogan was productive of another piece of humor: A Jewish kosher restaurant put up the placard on its window. But part of the print- ing on the window was left uncovered by the placard so that the whole thing read, “Lenin is dead, but we are continuing his work under the auspices of Rabbi Jacobson. The best one in years is at Trot- sky's expense. Russia today, it will be remembered, is called the “Ru: Socialist Federated Soviet Republic. or R. §. F. S. R. Now why were the letters arranged just as they are? Well, so that Lenin might read them from left to right and Trotsky, being a Jew, might read them from right to left and vet both would arrive at the same thing. Take Crack at Leaders. A famous crack at Lenin and Trotsky was perpetuated by the well known vaudeville couple, Bim and Bom. Bim comes out on the stage carrying @ picture of Lenin and a picture of Trotsky. “What are you going to do with those?’ asked Bom. Says Bim, “I'll hang one and stand the other ‘against the wall” (in other words, shoot the other). ‘We Americans have the impression that the Russian people are morbid and overserious; that they do not laugh. Yet Moscow alone has half a dozen funny weeklies, of _which Crocodile, Red Pepper 'and Laugh- ter are very clevef and very popu- lar. ~All of these carry colored illus- trations. Most of the official wit in these papers is concentrated for at- tacks on the Russian bourgeoisie, on capitalism and capitalists generally, and on foreign' governments and dip- lomats. This week’s Crocodile, for _in- stance, levels a broadside at MacDon- ald, the British premier. Below a headline which reads “The Prince and the Pauper” is an illustration of a fiince and a pauper sccording to rk Twain. Right under the illu: tration is a picture of MacDonald an the Prince of Wales taken at & ban- quet in London in honor of Ambas. sador Kellogg. The- subscription it ‘Prince of Wales and Pauper MacDon. ald. according to life.” MacDonald Is Ridiculed. The upper half of another page of illustrations shows MacDonald dressed in worker's clothes addressing a group of workingmen. “You do not have to bow your heads,” MacDonald proudly tells the: “to the British m and to the English NDI(&IM-M; * ¢ * (now the e goes mb::u-unomz"'lu anecdotes, | “Lenin is dead, but | 53 54 427 3202 @ 54 43 40 92 24 55 42645 3201 6242 54 43 40 97 24 63 54 43 94 25 6 4 6 < Jibes at Soviet Chiefs as They Did at Slain Czar Humorous Magazines Flourish in Moscow, Freely rotsky and Foreigners, Too—Reveal Nation’s Real Nature. that,” and here the cartoon shows the bowing obsequiously to King George and the capitalists who stand behind m.

BAN ON BRIDES HITS CHINESE MEN HARD New Immigration Law Means More Expense to Secure Spouse. ice B the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.—The new American immigration law, with its provisions excluding aliens ineligible 1o citizenship, is having quite an ef- fect " on San Francisco's historic Chinatown. The orthodox among the Chinese men are just beginning to realize that they will have to aban- don the custom of sending to China |after marriageable girls. Consequent- 1y the law is expected to make a radi- cal change in the domestic situation on upper Grant avenue and its by- jways. The voung Chinese has been in the habit of going back to China, claim- ing a bride, to whom he often had |been betrothed since childhood. and bringing her back here. This arrange- | ment had several advantages for the husband. The marital settlement re- quired with his parents-in-law was ! much less in China, usually not ex- |ceeding a few hundred dollars. The girl had been raised to oriental docil- |ity and followed him prepared to ac cept any sort of home he might pro- vide. The Chinese girl raised in San Fran- cisco is a different creature. She has adopted the ways of American flap- pers, dress, bobbed-hair and independ- ent ways. She has shed her eastern obedience. She marries whom and {when she will, and specifies the condi- | tions under which she will take a husband. Furthermore, her parents | require much larger settiements than do the parents in China. The immigration law prohibits the importation of brides from China. The American Chinese thus is forced to consider the Chinese girl already here. She is credited with having expensive tastes. She expects, contrary to the immemorial customs of China, a regu- lar courtship, with trips to the the- ater, dinners, boxes of candy and jew- elry. She is no chattel. — OBSERVE ‘ALPHABET DAY.’ Bulgarians Celebrate Novel Holi- day Throughout Country. SOFIA, July 4.—The Bulgarian peo- ple celebrated a unique holiday on May 24, when throughout the coun- try was observed the “name day” of the Slavic, or Cyrillic, alphabet and of its creators. the monks Cyril and his brother Methodius. It was in the ninth century and from the city of Saloniki that these holy men pro- mulgated their alphabet, which was designed to propagate the Christian faith among Slavic peoples. One of the notable observances took place at the Monastery of St. Ivan of Rila, in the mountains above Sam- okov, where the Bulgarian letters created by the apostles from Latin jreek and Hebrew material were preserved from extinction during the Turkish domination of five centuries. The celebration of the day also is marked by the Orthodox Church to recall the introduction of Christianity among the Bulgarian people and its spread to the other Slavic peoples by the followers of SS. Cyril and.Meth- odius. THIEVES’ METHODS HIT. Wight Watchmen Complain Noise Awakening Them. DANZIG, July 4.—Night watchmen have complained that because of the progressive methods of thieves they | cannot_sleep properly at night. Recently robbers endeavoring to gain entrance to a food store managed to get into the basement and began boring -through the wooden floor for the purpose of cutting a panel_ that would admit their bodies. It happened that the night watchman was asleep on the floor at that particular spot and when his body was pricked by the sharp instrument he set.up a cry that aroused all the night watchmen and. policemen in the neighborhood. The building was quickly sur- rounded and ‘the robbers wers cap- tured. of 430 3211 58! 54 43 39/ Labor premier clothed in fancy dress | 58 495° 31 407 56 57 430 3202 5814 54 43 391 97 25 162 6 4 59 47315 31 60 54 23 40 469 330 60 54 pot 6 24 ASSERT BOUNDARY GOMMISSION LEGAL Irish Confident Settlement Cannot Involve Treaty With Britain. By the Associated Press. DUBLIN, July 4—Appeintment of the judicial committee of the British privy council to examine the legal as- pects of the naming of the Irish bcundary commission, has- brought forth the statement from the former Free State attorney general, Hugh Kennedy, now a member of the su- preme court, that “no question of in- terpretation of the treaty has been or can be referred to the judicial commit- tee so far as the government of the Free State is concerned.” The work of the commission, it is pointed out, will in reality be an at- tempt on the part of the British gov- ernment to anticipate any difficuities which might arise after the boundary commission has made its award, which will have the force of law and will probably automatically transfer vari- ous populations from one jurisdiction to another. Thorough investigation by the committee is expected to obviate any claim that the commission was not Iexallx constituted, with a consequent demand for nullification of its award Numerous legal questions are in- volved. As Ulster refused to appoint a member of the commission, the com- mittee, which will represent the hizl est court of appeal in the empire, be called upon to decide in. advanc whether the British government may nominate an Ulster representative, either directly or indirectly. and what legislation is necessary to thorouzhiy legalize the proceedin GOLD COINS SPURNED IN DAYS OF CIVIL WAR Firm Admitting Finances Bad, Pleaded With Creditors to Pay in Confederate Money.

MACON, Ga., July 4 pays to advertise” is an axiom of the present era, that knowledge must have been more or less common even in the days of the civil war, accord- ing to an advertisement of that period reprinted in a recent issue of the Macon Telegraph Here is the specimen which, while it is not recorded whether the adver- lisement brought results, would in- dicate that even grandfather knew of the advantages of telling the world: *“The concern of Roberts, Dunlap & Co.. being somewhat dem!\ralsz!d our Senior & Co., being in the hands of the doctors. and our middle man in the army, makes it absolutely neces- sary that those who owe us shoul settle without delay.
