Cooperative Drive

Aim of Merchants

Miami Avenue Association To
Begin Advertising Cam-
paign Next Friday

A enoperative advertising cam-
paig'n designed to focus attention
of shoppers on the Miami avenue
shopping district will start next
Friday, it was decided at a meet-
ing of the Miami Avenue Associ-
ation in' the Stan~dard Shoe Com-
pany, store, 137 N. Miami avenue,
Wlednesdayr night.
A special sale lasting through
Friday and Saturday next week
will be the opening gun in a drive
to emphasize the advantages to
shoppers of patronizing stores lo-
cated on Miami avenue between
Flagler and Fifth streets.
A resolution was passed urging
members of the association to
keep their display windows light-
ed until at least 10 p. m. daily, and
members decided to petition the
city to have all street lamps kept
lighted until 11 p. m.
A traffic committee composed
of J. D. Phillips, Larry Fay, J.
Fink, H. A. McCarthy and Daniel
Cromer was appointed to invest~i-
gate the possibility of improving
traffic conditions on the avenue.
More than 95 per cent of mer-
chants located on the avenue have
joined the cooperative advertising
movement, it was said.

FAUCETS RUN GINGER
ALE INSTEAD OF WATER

When Mrs. Esther Waldstein of
2610 Webb avenue, Detroit, Mich.,
turned on the faucets of the bath-
tub last week at her home she was
surprised to find ginger ale flow-
ing freely therefrom. She tried
the faucets on her kitchen sink
and again found ginger ale com-
ing through. An investigation
showed that in making repairs to
the plumbing of a capdy store on
the ground floor the plumber had
connected the pipes of a large gin-
ger ale tank to the water pipes of
Mrs. Waldstemn's apartment.

For High Holidays

Nathan Wroobel Accepts Call
of Miami Jewish Ortho-
dox Congregation

Nathan Wroobel, well known
cantor and exceedingly popular in
this section of Florida for his ren-
dition of` traditional synagogal
music, has accepted the call of the
Miami Jewish Orthodox Congre-
gation and will chant the High
Holiday services as well as the
Succos services for the congrega-
tion.
Cantor Wroobel has had the call
under consideration for several
weeks, as well as calls from sev-
eral congregations in the nort'l.
Being one of the original mem-
bers of the congregation, Cantor
Wroobel felt that his duties lay
with the Miami congregation. The
usual traditional music will be
chanted and several compositions
prepared especially for the Hign
Holidays by Cantor Wroobel will
be rendered.

informed that Cantor Wroobel

1931 Auctions
New York is full of auctioneers.
Some of them are almost as fam-
ous as Christie's, in London, where
they have sold single jewels for a
million dollars, and some of them
are of the catch-penny type.
One of the latter, right in the
heart of Times Square, has a nov-
el method. We can all recall the
hoarse-voiced auctioneer at farm
sales, ready to drop from the ef-
fort of using his voice. Well, this
man sells from early morning to
late at night and his voice holds
out all week.
How does he do it? Why he has
a microphone in front of him with
six receivers around the big store
and his lowest whisper carries to
the back wall. It is de luxe sell-
ing.

Second-Hand Goods
This city sells more goods see-
ond-hand than many cities sell
new, according to an analysis is-
sued by the Merchants' Associa-
tion the other day. The total sales
run $14,000,000 a year, of which
936 stores sell close to $10,000,-
000.
Second-hand book stores do a
business of $800,000, nearly $100,-
000 more than used automobiles.

are doing business here on a

that second-hand office furniture

Kindness to Blind
All New Yorkers are kind to
blind men. One sees them tapping

arm and aid them across.

NEW YORK.---In the rebuilding
of an old Jewish synagogue which

were injured seriously when a
scaffold on which they were work-

at Beth Israel Hospital, where the

The accident created quite a
furore in New York City because
of the well known prohibition
against Jews permitting syna-

"China for the Chinese," is the
slogan adopted by a new party in
China. A friend whose wife has
two dogs tells us his slogan is:
"Peking for the Pekingese."

The girl chum says an optimist
is a person who cheers up when
a speaker says "Lastly."

Those love messages, written on
tablets of baked clay which arch-
aeologists have exhumed at the
ancient city of Ur, remind us of
the tremendous difficulties under
which a lover labored 4,000 years
ago. His love missives were so

And if he got a brick back and

of thing with non-Jews," he de-
clared, "they understand the
meaning of discipline and team-
work, and they do their job or you
get rid of them." "Oh," he ex-
claimed, as if something even more
painful than a thought had hit
him, "there is something else. If
you want to get rid of a non-Jew
you give him notice, pay him up
and say good-bye. But if you give
la Jew notice your name isr pil-
'loried all over the community for
your being hard-hearted and in-
considerate, and you are immedi-
ately pestered by umteen relatives
and friends and influential ac-
quaintances begging you to keep
the man or woman on ." Whether
there is anything or not in this
seriously affecting the problem, I
do not know, but it seems to me
there may be something of truth
in it.
That the question is not alone
urgent, as the correspondence that
has reached me goes to show, but
is widespread, a clipping I made
the other day from an American
paper, headed "Jews and Employ-
men ,' wil go *o sh
Lady ca ls on us and says: "
was for several weeks in the of-
fice of a local employment agen-
cy. A request for a stenographer
came in and, being then still un-
acquamntlec dih the eoal pee -

name of a Jewish girl whose qul-
iications, asg vn on the I rd

the kind of stenographer that was
wanted.
"Indeed, I myself did not par-
ticularly notice that her name was
Jewish until the fact was called to
my attention by one of the other
women in the employment office.
"'She's Jewish,' she remarked.
'It seems so,' I agreed, taking
notice of the name.
'Well, she won't do then,' my
associate observed.
"Why not? I inquired.
"Then I learned that so many
business houses reject Jewish help
that employment agencies gener-
ally make it a rule not to handle
the applications of Jewish work-
ers. They are kiridly enough abo~t
it; they take the name and ad-
dress of the Jrwish applicant, but
that's the end of it.
"I spoke about this to the man-
ager of the employment agency
later, saying. 'This is so unjust-
What difference should religious
affiliation of a worker make to
the employer ?'
"He agreed with me, but he
pointed out that it was not a the-
ory but a condition he was con-
fronting.
'We are in business,' he said,
'and we've got to give to our cus-
tomers what they want.' "
Thus spoke the lady, and then
we said to her:
"This is, indeed, outrageous, but
even more outrageous is the fact
that there are Jewish firms thit
will not take Jews. They are afraid
of Jews. The bright Jewish boy
learns rapidly and may, in time,
become a competitor. That is what
they are afraid of. There are those


who want only help that will stay
put. We may not complain against
non-Jewish employers so long as
there are Jews who discriminate
against their own people."
And so, because the Jewish em-
ploye will not or cannot by nature
"stay put," Jews find the extreme
difficulty they do in obtaining el-
ployment.
It is not my intention to sug-
gest any sort of remedy for the
state of things here but slightly
revealed. The solution of the prob-

in my employ anyone who was not

ion." You see, as a friend of mile
is fond of saying, in these things
you never can tell! Whether in
this instance the employer in
question adopted a commendable
attitude or one of unreasoming

ly reached. me from Jews concern-
ing the difficulty of finding em-
ployment on account of their be-
ing of our people. This applies to
Jewish women as well as Jewish
men. The complaint to which I
here allude is by no means new.
But it has become much more
acute by reason of the large num.
ber of Jewish women who now
seek to earn their own daily bread.
Years ago few Jewish women
whose families were any thing li k e
well-placed were expected to do
otherwise than rely on "papa" for
all their financial needs. That day
has gone by, and with its passage
there has come a commendable
spirit of independence among our
young women.
The difficulties that are met
with by Jewish employes are not
a few. Some of those who write
to me bitterly complain that they
are bound if they are to find work
to "give up their religion." That
is to say they have -to be at their
job on Sabbaths and Holy days
and to the conscientious Jew that
is indeed hard measure. It is ren-
dered all the harder when Sab-
bath and Holy day services is de-
manded of them by fellow-Jews.
One young man writes to tell me
how he applied to a gentleman
holding a prominent position in
the community--a synagogue war-
den and that sort of thing--and
after an interview was engaged.
But he was astonished to be told
that only usual general holidays
and Sundays were allowed. I am
afraid my correspondent is not of
the .tactful-horrible word--breed
For he tells me that he ended the
interview and engagement by tell-
ing the employer that he could not
think of taking a situation where
he was expected to work on Yom
Kippur Koton. That was a Calen-
dar day the -man evidently did not
understand, because he replied that
he might "consider" letting off
the applicant for Yom Kippur if
he cared to put in anotheroff-day
in place of it. But my correspon-
dent was adamant and so ended
the matter. He tells me that he
was induced to his irony because
in no circumstances would he
work for what he calls a double.
faced hypocrite. And that is how
he sized up a synagogue warden
"who could himself go smugly to
his conventicle, his top hat gleam-
ing with effusive righteousness,
smugly presiding over the serv-
ice," whil4 he was Qeping fellow-
Jews at work whe~e I am again
qluoting--"they could not even get
the smell of talith." There will, of
course, be those who think that
the employer was well rid of the
opportunity of such an employee.
But for my part I believe that a
young man who could act as he did
and who was gifted with so much
chin must have had in him the
makings of a useful man. Nat-
urally, for such as he who are
faithful to religious practice
among us, non-Jewish employment
is virtually barred. Although
among other communications I
have received on the subject these
last few months were one in whien
a young Jewish woman told me
how she applied to a non-Jewish
firm for a situation, and was ac-
oepted. "I suppose," observed the
proprietor when terms had been
settled, "that-excuse me-being
a Jewess, you will want your Sab-
baths and Holy Days ?" "Oh, no,"


the young lady smilingly replied,

is well worth bearing in mind on
the topic at hand.
1There are, however, other less
simple and more complex difficul-
Sties that confront the Jewish em-
ploye. Non-Jews do not care to
emplo y them sometimes from
sheer anti-Jewish feeling, or be-
cause, as was explained to one of
those who wrote me by the head
of the firm to whom he applied:
"It would never do for me to have

all srtm o athgh ga utwol m en
in the hands of the Jews."' This,
be it said, was a firm in a country
district, although I imagine that
it is not such an extreme instance
of the sort of sentiment to which
I allude as may be supposed. But
non-Jews I find are at one with
Jews in preferring not to engage
Jewish employes because, so they
say, it almost invariably mea~s
giving the best opportunity for a
prospective comp koled theater

employer on this point and he ac.
knowleiged that he would not em-

(he did not use that term, but let
it pass), he does my work and I
pay him his wages and there is an
end of the thing. But if I have a

I asked him about Jewish wom-
en and he said it came to the same
thing, because they obtained the
requisite acquaintance with his
business and transmitted it either
to some other employer who would
pay them a higher salary, or to
some relation, or more probably
the young man of her choice, who
would thereby set up in business a
for himself. A non-Jewish employ-
er whom I asked also why he
would not employ Jews told me
much the same thing. He disdain-
ed anything like anti-Jewish feel-
ing--some of his best friends, etc.,
etc.--but said that Jews were
"(dangerous" (his own word) in
business. "They are not loyal to
you," he averred. I, of course, had
my say on that point, and I do not
think it a fair observation, ,any-
way put as crudely as this gentle-
man put it. But I mention it here
because it seems to me testimony
worth knowing.
Another employer, a Jew, told
me his objection to Jewish em-
ployes was that they were seldom
well-trained. I expressed surprise?,
and he went on to explain. "Oh,
they have usually got plenty of
brains and they think they can
rely on those in business, but be-
ing untrained they are frequently
conceited, bumptious, swollen-
headed, and refuse to learn or
anyway to do what you want them
to do. Give them the least margin
and they think themselves the

of telling you how to run your
business. If, however, they should
have had some training, it has

THE REMEDY

That the anti-Semitic move-
ments in Austria, Germany, Ru-
mania and Greece, as exemplified
by the recent occurrences in these
countries, are due not to the ig.
norance of the masses but to de.
liberate moves by certain politi-
cal parties is becoming evident.
This is proved by the fact that
the riots in Vienna, Berlin and
Bucharest center mostly around
the universities and are led by
the "Aryan" students of those
countries. This makes the anti-
Jewish persecutions much more
serious. It would seem that the
university youth, which before the
war was the standard-bearer of
liberalism, is now permitting it-
self to be exploited by the chauvi-
stistic leaders of its country, lead-
ers who cover their nefarious ae-
tivities under the cloak of na.
tionalism. It is high time that

"POISONED HEARTS"

My readers, I feel sure, will pardon this bit of personal history,
since it might concern many thousands of people who are past middle
age--at a time when we watch our common enemy from every possi-
ble angle of attack; life grows precious as years advance.
Possibly nine years ago, I began to get sudden, vague, alarming
symptoms--a feeling that I was about to drop and "pass out;" it was
far from pleasing, I assure you. I. had never paused to take' an inven-
tory of myself. These "spells" came suddenly, anywhere, and without
warning--the immediate symptom, a rapidly weakening heart. Being
a smoker, I at once thought of tobacco.
From one of these attacks I staggered into the office of a .neigh-
bor physician. After some examination he said, "You've got a poi-
soned heart, doctor--I don't think it is tobacco; on the other hand, I
don't see at this moment just what it is; you need a heart tonic, and
need it right away, till further investigation."
Well .. "investigation" revealed poisoning by a substance knowri
as "indican." Its cause, PUTREFACTION OF THE CONTENT OiF
THE COLON. Not decomposition, mind you; PUTREFACTION, go-
mng on inside of my digestive canal. It had been going on a long
time, creeping on, as my bodily indolence grew more chronic.
I set about to clean house, and at once. This indican, in large
amounts within the body, will, in time, weaken the entire cardiovasco-
lar system, until death may result; then the newsppaers say "victim''
of a heart attack. So many these days. Possibly hundreds of sudden
deaths caused by indican poisoning--simply because we neglect to
look up evidence in that direction!
To test for this poison is easy. Two test tubes required. In one,
put equal parts of the patient's urine, chloroform, and pure hydro-
chloric acid; add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide; shake the mix-
ture, and pour from one tube to the other a half-dozen times; if in-
dican is present, a heavy blue color will appear in the mixture, varying
with the quantity of the poison. Then, clean out and keep cleaned
out! Not once, but for a year!

REMEMBER IT

The plays of four Jews were
chosen by Burns Mantle, dramatic
critic, for inclusion in his annual
selection of the ten best plays of
the year. They are: "Once in a
Lfeitime," by Moss Hart and
George S. Kaufman; "Five Star
Final," by Louis Weitzenkorn,
and "Grand Hotel,"' by Vicki
Baum*
We are not chauvinistic enough
to proclaim that the selection of
these four Jewish playwrights sig-
nifies that the Jews are domninr-
ting .the .dramatic field. Nor would
we find these plays less interest-
ing if they had been written by
non-Jews. If we mention at all
this special distinction which
comes to us it is to point out that
none of these plays enters the cat-
egory of sex plays or cheap box
office formulas. On the contrary,
they represent genuine literary
endeavors-especially mn the case
of "Five Star Final" and "Grand
Hotel." This should be emrpha-
sized. When the cry that Jews are
cheapening Broadway and are the
cause of the sexification of the
American drama is raised let us
remember that our Jewish play-
wrights and producers lead the
field in what must be considered
the genuine, clean drama.

If all the gangsters and racket-
eers are going to Leavenworth,
looks as if the Chicago undertak-
ers and florists are going to be-
gin to feel the depression, too.


One of my friends, who now occupies. a high position, started life
as a salesman for the National Cash Register Company.
He thought that if he could sell cash registers to Marshall Field
it would be a big feather in his cap, and the example of this leading
store would have influence with smaller merchants all over the coun-
try.
So he called at Field's and made his talk, but received no en-
couragement. The next year he called again .. and the next .. .
and the next. The tenth year he came away with an order for $150,-
000.
In telling me about it, he remarked: "I said to myself, that's
$15,000 worth of business for each of the ten years Not a bad a~ver-
age at all "
In 1929, when stock prices were crashing and even the richest
men were feeling poor, a New York banker met a capitalist whose
fortune, on paper, had shrunk many million dollars. He was in a blue
funk.
The banker said: "You ought to have learned better than this.
Don't you remember back in 1920 how worried you were, and how you
sent for me to reassure you ? Even at present prices you must be
worth ten times what you were then. If so, your average is mighty
good. What are you kicking about ?"
A young man and young woman were married. After the ceremony
the bride's father, a veteran business man who had fought hard for
his fortune, took them into his study. "I want to say just one thing
to you, he remarked. "You must not expect that all your years will
be good. You'll go along for a while without seeming to get ahead, but
at the end of every year you'll own a little more furniture and have
a few more dollars in the bank. Then there will come a year some time
Jvhen you'll have a stroke of luck and make a lot of progress. You
must expect to average the good with the bad."
It seems to me that much of the worry and fretting in life grow
out of the fact that people do not take a long enough look.
Every human life, at some point, has been handicapped and
doomed to disappointment. At forty ,Henry Ford had never saved
a cent. At forty-five, Lincoln was a disappointed politician. For
twenty-five years, Charles Darwin worked, day after day without the
slightest recognition. Then, for each of them, there came a few great
years that amply made up for all the rest.
The law of compensation works fpr those who keep their industry
and their faith. Those who quit under discouragement are selling out
at the bottom. For a majority of courageous lives, taking all the years
together, the average is good.


Manager--"You've got too much
rouge on for a milkmaid.
Actress-"But I thought milk-
maids had very red cheeks.
Manager -"On the contrary,
they're all pail girls."

Husband (angrily) "What!
more money ? When I'm dead you
will probably have to beg for all
the money you get."
Wife (calmly)--"Well, I'll be
better off than some poor women
who never had any practice."

Many a true word is spoken
through false teeth.--Frivol.

"Do you know Mah Jongg?"
"Yes. He washes my shirts."

Club was held at the Workmen's
Circle hall last Sunday night when
the matter of the reopening of the
Arbeiter Ring Schule was dis-
cussed. After some discussion it
was unanimously decided to re-
open the school the early part of
October. A graduate of the Sem-
inary of the Schule System will be
sent to Miami by the national or-
ganization of the Workmen's Cir-

cause of some financial troubles
it was discontinued last year. At
the present time the organization
has sufficient funds on hand to
take care of the immediate needs.
The following were chosen to the
board of education and will ad-

CeretDOnia
By ABRAHAM CAPLAN

(Continued from Last Week)
Ceremonies are means to an
end, they are "ve~sgels used to car-
ry ethical ideas and to convey re-
ligious lessons."
Without the aid of ceremonials,
religious life would be deprived of
a powerful auxiliaryr. Ceremonials
are essential for indicating the
particular truths of a religious
system. Without the Sabbath, Ju-
daism would, without much hope
of success, have to seek means by
which to implant in man habits of
rest, of meditation and of self-
communion, and encourage ideals
of contentment and unselfishness.
The ceremonies referred to i'x
the Bible are "signs and memo-
r~ials." They are viv-id reminders
of ev-ents having abiding religious
significance. They chronicle the
giving of divine commandments.
The festivals are "remembrances


of God's deliverance and protein ion of justice and morality and inei, and automobile paper. The
tion of Israel." The ceremonials consecration. The rabbis aimed at

/ceremonials. It would be beside
the point to deny that rabbinic
Judaism is not a ceremonial relig-
lon. Rabbinic Judaism has the
saving grace of psychological in-
sight into man's nature.
However, ceremonials in relig-
ion and religious ceremonialism do
not mean one and the same thing.
Ceremonials minister to truth,
while ceremonialism may at times
conceal truth. Notwithstanding
the strictures of Paul and the
Christian church throughout its
history, Judaism, strictly speak-
ing, suffers little from ceremon-
ialism. For so soon as ceremonials
tended to degenerate into worship
alien to the purity of the religion
of God, there would be raised up
voices powerful enough to halt the
decadence. The prophets inveighed
against every act which savored
of hypocrisy, much less idolatry.
The rabbis, for all their insistence
upon institutions, observances and
forms, were worthy successors of
the prophets. The 'prophets, by
means of language charged with
eloquence, indignation, pleading or
satire, sought to instil in the peo-
ple an undefiled religion, a relig-
