DISTRICT ZIONIST T0 CONTINUE DRIVE Report Made at Banguet . That Palestine Fund Is Short by $20,000. More than onists of Washing- ton gathered at a banquet last night at the Willard Hotel, which was to mark the close of the campaign here for $50.000 for rehabilitation work in Palestine, after hearing a report that nearly $20,000 was vet to be raised, pledged several thousand dollars addi- tiohal and determined by means of select committees to continue the drive until the goal is reached. Addresses were made hy Rabbi Ste- phen 8. W York, who is chairman of the national drive for $5.000,000 for the Holy Land, and Chalm Nachman Bialik, national Jew- ish poet. Tracing the growth of Zionism, Rabbi Wise, who last year returned 10 be a strong leader of the Zionists' cause after several years of disinter- estedness, declared: “Zionism has held in ages past now holding, and un- \er God will always hold the place of primacy in the heart of the Jews. Talestine gives the only answer to the problem of our people.” Began 1,855 Years Ago. The Zionism movement began 1,853 vears ago when Emperor Titus caused iha destruction of the Jewish temple in Palestine, Rabbi Wise said. Trac ing the persecution of the Jews in Russia, central Europe and France, which added impetus 1o Zionism, he declared that though but 33.000 Jews migrated to the Holy Land last year, the vast majority of the residents of Palestine in another 50 vears will be Jews."” Rahbi Wise paid a high tribute to President Wilson for his insistence upon the safeguarding of the Holy Land for the Jews, “to whom it right- fully belongs,” and to Arthur Balfour for the part he played in winning the sympathy of England, which now holds a mandate under the League of Nations over the Holy Land. This mandate, Rabbl Wise sald, merely means that England, as the trustee for the Jews, is keeping the (o the Holy Land open to the That is all we want Eng lind to do.” ke added. Remarks by Bialik.

Economists of the Department of Agriculture say the American people are eating less bread be. cause they can afford to pay for a more varied dlet, with the re- suit that flour consumption hag fallen 24 per cent since 1879. The declins has been more rapid since the war, amounting to about 2 per cent a year from 1914 to 1924. Fach American now uses an aver- age of 4.3 bushels of wheat a vear, as compared with 5.38 bushels in 1904 and 5.6 bushels in 1879. Increased purchasing power and continued drift of the population to the cities are assigned by the de- partment as major causes of this relative displacement of bread from Its high position in the com- mon dlet, while efficient use of four and development of high quality wheat, making possible the baking of bread with less flour than formerly, also have some- thing to do with it.
