After trying human labor for sev- eral days, when six men were sent along the bridle paths on their hands and knees in an effort to recover the nails, the public build- ings and parks shops have been set to work on an electro-magnet. This piece of machinery is near- ly completed and will be tried out in a day or two. It consists of a long electro-magnet about - four inches wide, mounted on two wheels, The current will be fur- nished by storage batteries. T?n will be dragged along the bridle paths, and it is the belief that prac- tically all of the nails which have been causing trouble will be ri moved. If the machine is as suc- cessful as a similar one has been found to be by the roads depart- ments of some of the States, it will be sent over automobile arteries in some of the parks to pick up nails which cause damage to tires, and DRIVE NEEDS $35,000. Jewish Campaign for $150,000 to Be Accelerated in Next 10 Days. With a total of $115,000 reported toward the $150,000 quota of the United Jewish campaign, workers in the relief drive will put forth unusual | efforts during the next 10 cays to | achieve the gal. - At the luncheqn held yesterday noon at the Jewish Community Center Chairman Rudolph B. Behrend told the campaign teams that the average contribution here thus far—$100— was among the highest in the coun- try, whereas in most cities of this size it’is scartely more than $40. The campaign team of Mrs. A. Max is in the lead with more than $11,000 collected in the contest between the teams for the largest amounts collect- jed and the greatest number of gifts. Morris Garfinkle, another one of the leaders in the drive, also reported good progress at this meeting. Rabbi Edward L. Israel of Ealti more made the principal speech at the luncheon. He told of recent events affecting the Jews in eastern Europe, dwelling at length on' the conditions in Rumania and Poland.
