Flagler Track
Meets Approval


Continuing the policy es-
tablished. by its officials the
opening week, .the West Flag-
ler Kennel Club is staging
races every night but Sunday,
of such calibre that even
those not previously interest-
ed must necessarily become
racing enthusiasts. Dogs are
entered in the races of the
finest racing abilities known
to the sport and with the ad-
ded hurdle race every night
has been giving the specta-
tors the thrill of their lives.
Situated but three miles from
the heart of Miami's shopping
district and the center of the
city, visitors 'and residents
can reach the track within a
few minutes after boarding
the street cars, busses that
run direct to the track or by
driving out by auto.
Added features are given
each night to insure a full
evening's enetrtainment for
the patrons.
Five hundred dollar Sweep-
stake race over the Futurity
course will be the feature of
Saturday night's program at
the West Flagler Kennel club.
Six of the fastest dogs from
different parts of the coun-
try are to be entered, among
them Meadow's Aristocrat,
winner of Wednesday night's
feature race Kitty Dunn; win-
ner of Tuesday night's fea-
ture, and Cardinal, known to
the greyhound racing fans all
over the country as one of the
greatest speedsters running
today.

Racing Season
Is Begun Here


The long awaited 1931 race
meeting of the Miami Racing
assocatioa-opened- at beauti-
ful Hialeah Park track Thurs-
day afternoon. At 2:30 p. m.
a band of thoroughbreds
paraded to the post for the
first -event that threw back
the curtain on the greatest
season of sports the city has
ever enjoyed.
-The feature race, named
the Hialeah Inaugural handi-
cap, topped a program of six
events. The field was one of
tthe most notable ever raced
in fte south. The Inaugural,
at six furlongs, carried added
money value of $2,000.
Although the weather had
a frigid tinge early in the day
a clear sky was evident and
the track, fast drying out af-
ter the recent rains, was fast
at post time.
There never has been a
more representative group of
horsemen gathered at any
race course than. the crowd
at Hialeah. Increased purses,
favorable climatic conditions
and confidence in the officials
of the track have made many
come to Miami to race instead
of putting up in winter quar-
ters after the northern sea-
son closed.
Praise of Frank J. Bruen,
Joseph E. Widener and Maj.
Barclay H. Warburton is un-
animous for the way they
have gone about making the
track on a par with any in the
country. They have' done no
end of work and spared no
expense to beautify the plant
and make conditions perfect
for the horsemen and patrons.

Noted Jew Dies
In New York
Nathan Straus, noted Jew-
ish philanthropist, a c t i v e
Zionist, and termed the "heart
of the Jewish people," died
at his home in New York city
last Sunday night at the age
of 83. Born in Bavaria, Jan-
uary 31, 1848, he came to
this country in 1854 and set-
tled in Talbotton, Ga. Later
he came to New York where
he married and subsequently
engaged in business, at one
time a member of the firm
of I. L. Straus and Sons, R.
H. Macy, famous department
store and Abraham and
Straus. In 1914 he retire from
business to devote his entire
time to philanthropy and to
carry out his wish to "give
charity during life, and die
a poor man."
His first public appearance
as a philanthropist was dur-
ing the panic of 1893 when
he provided coal for the poor,
as well as meals and lodg-
ing. His next step was in the
establishment of depots for
the distribution of pasteu-
rized milk for infants, which
in later years was termed by
the Rockefeller Research In-
stitute as the first construc-
tive step for the conservation
of infant life taken in this
country. The next- -etep--
in his constructive work was
the establishment of a tuber-
culosis preventorium in Lake-
wood in the Cleveland Cot-
tage. His last and most im- -
portant work was his active
,participation in the rebuild-
ing of a Jewish homeland in
Palestine. When he first vie-
ited Palestine he established
free kitchens to afford or
nourishing and healthy food
for the needy. This was prior
to the world war. When Jus-
tice Brandeis became the
head of the Zionist provis-
ional committee, Straus be-
came actively identified with
the Zionist movement. -
He also aided the Ameri- .
can Jewish Congress. When
the Keren Hayesod was es-
tablished he became an ac-
tive supporter of this jund,
and later became an cflicer
under the Lipsky regime of
the American Zionist organi-
zation. In 1928 during the
earthquakes in Palestine he
cabled $25,000 to the commit-
tee helping the Arabians in u>
addition to his aid for fellow :
Jews. The massacres in 1929 ,-,
in Palestine were partly the
cause of the failure of Straus'
health, particularly the newks
that the Medical head of his ..
Health Institute in Jenraltem
had been murdered. ,
He left instructioma that he
was to bq buried im a

EDUCATION
The National Education Associ-
ation, composed of school-teachers
of the entire country, has started
a vigorous campaign for the im-
provement of country schools. The
first and most important step to
be taken in this direction is to
find some way of paying better
salaries to country school teachers.
On the question whether coun-
try schools, especially rural high
schools ought to give more atten-
tion to so-called "vocational" ed-
ucation, there is room for a sharp
difference of opinion. Most of the
teachers think that farming, carp-
entering, sewing, cooking and the
like should be taught in the
schools. A few maintain that the
place to learn any trade is "on
the job," that the elements of
education do not consist in ac-
quiring skill, but in acquiring
knowledge and understanding.
It must be admitted that the
old-fashioned country schools which
were limited, almost, to the Three
R's laid a pretty sound foundation
of culture among those pupils who
were able to absorb it.
PROHIBITION
Stanley High, the editor of the
Christian Herald, says it is time
that the leadership of those who
wish to retain Prohibition in the
Constitution and the law of the
land was taken over by somebody
besides the church people and min-
isters.
Mr. High is right. One of the
reasons why so many people who
regard themselves as moral Chris-
tians are opposed to Prohibition is
that they do not believe that it
is a question of morals or religion.
They resent the effort to make
it appear that drinking is sinful.
So far as our Government and
the law are concerned, the ques-
tion of whether it is sinful to drink
does not enter into the question
at all. Prohibition is an economic
movement, not a moral one. If
it is to have anything like whole-
hearted support from the people
of the United States, that support
must be sought on economic and
social grounds and not on grounds
with which probably the majority
of truly religious people cannot
agree.


ORGANIZATION
Newcomb Carlton, president of
the Western Union Telegraph
Company, thinks that our whole
system of government needs re-
organizing. The country has be-
come too big, its problems too
complex, to admit of efficient ad-
ministration by a single President
and a Congress as now organized.
Mr. Carlton is himself probably
the nation's greatest organizer.
There is less lost motion in the
management of the Western Union
than in any other concern of which
I have any knowledge. Whatever
Mr. Carlton has to say about or-
ganization, therefore, mut be lis-
tened to respectfully.
There is certainly food for
thought in what he says about the
inadequacy of our present Consti-
tutional set-up of government.
The difficulty would be in chang-
ing it effectively. Authority must
be centered somewhere, and most
people would rather have one in-
dividual in the White House on
whom to lay the blame whenever
anything goes wrong, than to have
to divide their ammunition among
several heads of government.


CREATION
Professor Robert Millikan, one
of the three or four greatest sci-
entists of our time, declares that
the deeper he delves into the se-
crets of nature, the more convin-
cing is the evidence of "a Creator
continually on the job."
Creation is not finished, Dr.
Millikan believes. The universe is
constantly being rebuilt. Evolu-
tion is going on as it has gone
on for tens of millions of years.
Both in animal life and in the case
of the inert elements, growth and
development continue.
Dogmatic religionists, who be-
lieve that everything was finished
when, as the Book of Genesis tells
us, God rested on the Seventh Day,
will disagree with Dr. Millikan.
He believes in a God who works
through methods of which science
has gained a few glimpses and is
steadily learning more.
In a time and place where men
were burned at the stake for hold-
ing beliefs not taught by the
priests of religion, Millikan would
have risked his life by such ut-
terances. That cannot happen in
America today, but if the Bolshe-
vists of Russia had their way he
would be condemned for believing
in any sort of a God or religion
at all.
MOVIES
Two hundred million dollars, or
very close to it, was spent in the
manufacture of motion pictures
last year, according to the Census
Bureau.
There were 2,534 different mo-
tion pictures produced, of which
1,510 were "silent" films, and 689
were "talkies," the others being
silent pictures with sound accom-
paniments.

THE JEWISH FLORIDIAN


BY ERNET CAMP JA
New YorkVisitors who "do"
New York under the guidance of
their metropolitan friends find the
experience most informing for
the friends.
Twice I have skipped out to
pilot a pop-eyed delegation through
the marvels of Manhattan, only to
catch them yawning. They had
seen everything I knew of-and a
lot besides. Before the evening
was over they were leading me
around.
A party of rubber-neckers ex-
ploring the Big burg have not only
boundless vitality, but consuming
curiosity. They will see more
"sights" in a week than the local
tax-payers do in ten years.
THE WOOLWORTH
BUILDING
The Woolworth building, oddly
enough, continues almost invaria-
bly the first thing that a visitor
demands to see. This despite the
fact that its 60 stories are now
overshadowed by the 77-story
Chrysler building. Also by the
Empire State, now under construc-
tion, whose 88 stories go sheering
up for a quarter of a mile above
the sidewalks.
It is the force of habit and
tradition. The Woolworth build-.
ing was for so long the tallest
in the world that it has become
fixed in national consciousness as
such. For many minds it holds a
certain glamor that will probably
remain for many years.


THE SIGHTSEEING BUSINESS
A charge of fifty cents is made
for the elevator ride to the famous
Woolworth observation tower, 751
feet up. For a like sum one may
One great advantage of living
in a small town is that it is still
possible to go to the movies with-
out having to listen. In the big
cities no theater is regarded as
any good unless it is equipped to
produce "talkies," which instead of
being an improvement on the sil-
ent drama are mostly rather in-
ferior stage productions.

that the current popularity of the
latter stimulated, rather than
checked, the flow of visitors to the

ty, the Stock Exchange, the Metro-

ON WITH THE STORY
George Benchler, staff announ.-
er at radio station WABC, left the
studios on a recent rainy evening
and stepped into a taxi in front of
the Columbia building. His driver
was one of those talkative boso,.
"D'ya work in the studios Bud-
dy?" he inquired as he skidded
expertly around a corner.
"Yes," said Benchler.
"Well," said the cabby, "I was
over in the Coffee Pot listening' to
the Detective Story Magazine
broadcast tonight. I go in for that
crook stuff, see, so every Thoisday
I parks the boiler and listens in
at this here oeanery. But bein' it's
rainin', y'know, everybody's look-
in' for cabs tonight and so just as
I was getting' steamed up about
this here story, in walks a guy
that wants a cab and I gotta leave
right in the middle of the story.
So I was just wondering' if you
happened to know how it come
out ?"
Benchler did know, fortunately,
and put an end to the driver's,
suspense as well as his own-for
the chauffeur, listening to his re-I
cital of the thriller, kept his eyes
on the road instead of turning to

It shows wonderful self-
control when a man never
mistakes his good luck for

A PLAIN WHITE CASKET

Shocking as has been the
news of the death of that
great Jew in Israel, Nathan
Straus, yet may Israel and
the Jewish people of the
United States be comforted.
Comforted, that by leading a
life so exemplary as did the
late Nathan Straus, glory and
honor w re shed upon the en-
tire Jewih natiojp-When the
Gentile wrldsthiinks of Na-
than Straus and his ceaseless
efforts to alleviate human
suffering, regardless of creed,
they must think of Nathan
Straus THE JEW.
But to me, the last wish
of Nathan Straus showed the
kindly old soul that he was.
He dirzted-that he be buried
in a lin unadorned pine
casket. Straus well knew that
his children could afford to
buy a casket that would run
well into the thousands of
dollars, but he also knew that
aman came into this world
unadorned and would leave
unadorned.
A man is known by the
life that he led, not by the
funeral he was given.
Nathan Straus, the prince
in Israel, believed as did our
sages of old that as man was
born equal so he should die
and be buried equal.
I wonder how many know
that years ago even Jews
were buried in the richest of
garments, the finest of cas-
kets and with the most valua-
ble of gems. And how many
know that abuses grew and
grew until the poor in Israel
abandoned their dead, unable
to give their dead the burial
and pay the honors that the
rich received.
And today . even here
in Miami . Yes, we know
of instances where hundreds
of dollars were spent on eas-
lests and on giving the dead
* wonderful funeral . but
not one emit was given for
charity to honor the memory
of the departed. Even as they


lived, so they died.
May the lesson given us by
Nathan Straus, may his soul
rest in peace THE PLAIN
PINE CASKET, ever remain
with us.

ONLY A FEW IDEAS
Twenty years ago I heard a famous editor deliver a
talk on advertising before the Chicago advertising club. I
was just out of college and had seen very few great men, so
the talk made a deep impression. I remember the editor
said that "reputation is repetition," and he told some stories
to illustrate the point.
The other night in New York I heard the same great
editor speak on the same subject. To my surprise it was
the very same speech.
Another speeker was a celebrated banker whom I had
heard on two previous occasions. He, also, repeated him-
self.
As we left the dining room one of my friends who had
noted the repetitions remarked on them gloomily.
"Rather discouraging to see that even the big minds
have so little in them," he said. "Makes you wonder if hu-
man ingenuity is coming to an end."
S "They say that though the stars appear so numberless,
you can not count more than a thousand," he said, "Well,
there are few thoughts. Count the books and you would
think that there was immense wealth; but any expert knows
that there are few thoughts which have emerged in his
time. Shut him in a closet and he could soon tell them all.
They are quoted, contradicted, modified, but the amount
remains computably small."
It is a good thing for humanity that this is so. Nature
apparently designed the game of human progress to last a
long time, and provided that only a small advance should
be made in any one generation. suddenly discover everything. How it would take the zest
out of the game!
Moreover, it is decidedly heartening to us average folks
to know that only a very little difference separates us from
the smartest. Lincoln remarked on it. "I have talked with
great men," he said, "and I can not see wherein they differ
from others."
Generally speaking, the great achieve their greatness
by industry rather than by mere brilliance. The editor
whom I quoted is said to be the highest paid in the world.
But if you divide his salary by the more than two hundred
newspapers (which print his editorials, he is the lowest
priced worker whom each of those papers employs. He pro-
duces more than anybody else and works longer hours to
do it.
I was glad that I went to that dinner. It reminded me
how little wisdom and genius really rule the world; how far
industrious effort can stretch the few ideas, or even one
idea.


F THE IFAM'LY


D DOCTOR
JOHN JOSEH GA1NESM.D
WINTER EPIDEMICS
I claim originality in this saying that, "infections work
behind closed doors." I carry the thought with me daily, as
I go about my work. The first duty, if you would dislodge
the enemy, is, open the door, be it ofwood, glass, or human
tissue; get at the unwelcome invader and destroy his works.
The worst epidemics-small-pox, measles, diphtheria,
scarlet fever, and infantile paralysis, take place at a son
when our houses are tightly fortified against winter inmem-
encies of weather. One of the most epidemics of small-pox
that I ever experienced, ceased promptly when spring
breezes were permitted to enter bed-rooms'and living-rooms
to "air out" residences in every remotest corner.
The worst case of small-pox I ever attended was in a
family that kept every crevice of the dwelling plugged for
fear outside air would enter. The patient recovered-but
it was an accident!
It follows then, that if free ventilation ends the epide-
mic, it must be valuable as a preventive of diseases of in-
fectious nature. I intrust my families to see that the resi-
dence from top to bottom, is thoroughly aired t least nce
a day; if the sun is shining, an hour or two is not tooe lng
for the internal air-bath. I do not like to enter a dwei
where the first thing to greet my nostrils is the odor of
meat and vegetables cooked at yesterdy's ditmupu. Yes, it's
"old stuff" I'm writing, ut its dily xriene in t i ad-
vanced age-and I don't live in the leakwiode alter-so
there!
The family doctor must be just as dead ganlist foetid
air indoors, as he is against the deadly stream o ugt~r,
pouri an window, over the 4 wherf

pern well known local commu-

A. Litwack of New York, who
lectured on the five phases
of Sholom Aleichem's humor
as depicted in his writings,
particularly stressing the
characters and traits as por-
trayed by the writer in the
famous figures of "Tevie the
Milchiger," and "Manachem
Mendel." Though apparently
different he showed that
both characters in the writ-
ings in many instances re-
sembled each other. The lec-
turer then portrayed the in-
tense and practical knowledge
that Sholom Aleichem pos-
sessed of characteristic traits
of the real Jew as shown in
his writings.
A large number of resi-
dents and several tourists at-
tended this meeting which is

Supreme court May 1, 1930,
was given a verdict for $25,-
000 against Ben Silver, for-
mer real estate partner, yes-
terday in Circuit court. The
trial judge suggested that the
verdict be reduced to $7,500.
Gould, represented by S.
Grover Morrow, filed suit
for libel against Silver, based
on Silver's affidavit to the
Dade County Bar Association
seeking Gould's disbarment.
The affidavit accused Gould
of embezzlement in real es-
tate transactions.
Silver was not in court yes-
terday and was not represen-


ted by attorneys. After the
complainant had stated his
case and presented testimony,
Judge A. V. Long, supply Cir-
cuit court judge from Gaines-
ville, directed a verdict in fa-
vor of Mr. Gould. He told the
jury it must fix the amount
of damages. The jury found
for the full amount.
"The Supreme Court of
Florida has previously re-
viewed all charges against
me, and by its unanimous de-
cision has completely exoner-
ated me from all blame, bas-
ing its decision on 'equity and
conscience and not legal tech-
nicality.' This verdict removes
the last remaining charge
against me.
"The accusation in this case
arose out of a real estate
transaction during the 1925
boom, wherein the complain-
ant sought to compel me to
assume certain losses result-
ing from the collapse of the
