Chicago Jews Make Record Subscription to Succor Destitute European Brethren JACOB M. LOEB JULIUS ROSENWALD The Jewish residents of Chicago have just set a new record. In a few weeks they raised the sum of $1,810,000 for the hundreds of thousands of destitute Jews in the war-torn, famine-smitten areas of Eastern Europe. This great sum was the result of a money-raising campaign such as the city had never seen before. Bankers and artisans, multi-millionaires and clerks worked as volunteers side by side. Mrs. Joseph Fish headed a division of 1,500 women workers who contributed materially to the total. The money was raised for the $14,000,000 national fund being gathered by the American Jewish Relief Committee to aid the Jewish population in Eastern Europe, who, three years after the armistice, are in worse straits than ever as the result of wars, civil strife, famine and pestilence. Chicago's quota was fixed at $750,000. But after Jacob M. Loeb, former president of the Board, To the few faint hearts who hinted at hard times they said: "Suppose you were starving?" That became the slogan of the campaign. At a preliminary banquet Mr. Rosenwald made the modest announcement that for every seven dollars subscribed he would give one. A few days later one of the largest public meetings ever held in Chicago took place in Sina Temple. More than a thousand were turned away from the overflow meeting. That night Chicago set a new record in giving. In less than 30 minutes over $600,000 was pledged. Then Mr. Loeb began bombarding the Jewish residents of Chicago with his question: "Suppose you were starving? It came to them in their morning mail It faced them in posters and advertisements. Several hundred wealthy Jews were invited to a banquet at a leading hostelry. They found themselves in a disheveled lightened bedside." NEW YORK, Jan. 29 hats! Yes, actually.

Chicago's quota was fixed at $750,000. But after Jacob M. Loeh, former president of the Board of Education, had given up his manifold business interests to assume the chairmanship of the campaign, Julius Rosenwald, the noted Jewish philanthropist, became honorary chairman, the two insisted that the quota be doubled to $1,500,000. And Chicago will go over that." they declared. WALNUT INSTITUTE MOST SUCCESSFUL The fourth annual institute of the California Walnut Growers Ass'n yesterday at the Santa Ana Union high school, was declared by President Harry W. Lewis of the association the most successful ever held in the county. The institute was under the auspices of the walnut growers' department of the Los Angeles and Orange co.'s farm bureau and the extension services of the two counties. Lewis called attention particularly to the question and answer feature of the program. H. El. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, congratulated the institute on the splendid attendance, amounting to around 700. At the final session L. D. Batchelor of the Citrus Experiment station gave the closing address, at the conclusion of which he responded to questions from the audience.

Members Consolidated Stock Exchange of New York 20 Broad St. New York POSTPONED FROM Wednesday, Jan. 18, to Wednesday, Feb. 1 "The PROFESSOR'S DILEMNA" Given under auspices of Anaheim Lodge No. 199 I. O. O. F. Fairyland Theater, Wednesday, February 1 Admission 7x including war tax New York Letter NEW YORK, Jan. 13. — Spring hats! Yes, actually. Not only in the windows of some of the smart shops, but on girls' heads. I saw my first one of the season yesterday in our office building elevator. It was black straw and satin and it was borne by a proud little creature of twenty or so. Of course the shop windows are not supposed to inspire those of us who plan to continue right on here in wintry New York with any such ideas. They are just intended to attract that portion of our population which is buying tickets for Florida and Aiken and Bermuda. But the slight of those spring hats is too much for some of the rest of us. Miami of Forty-second street, it's all the same. Spring hats we shall wear as early as any shop dares show them. And if we aren't quite well-dressed as a result, we are personally satisfied and that is the important thing. Maybe there is something to be said, after all, for the theatrical manager. The artistic and financial debacle of the National Players seems to speak in his behalf. The excellent players who recently formed that organization made a great point of banishing the manager and doing their own producing to show what "art" could accomplish unaled and unhampered. Then they failed to pick a play that the public would care for and failed to produce it in artistic fashion, and as a matter of fact they failed to eliminate the manager; they just furnished a poor substitute for him. They did manage to get their production financed, but right there they stopped so far as carrying out the functions of a real directing manager. Consequently, while as individuals they may still have anti-managerial ambitions, as a group of players they have gone out of existence. Not everyone who pays subway fares rides in the subway in New York. Those underground passageways serve more than one purpose. The really experienced New Yorker has learned how to thread his way under our streets and buildings for several blocks at a time in rainy weather when dryness is more deprived. A Brooklyn man is being sued for divorce because he put chewing gum in the paws of his wife's pet cat. Some women do have a tragic time in time. Some one from the transit commission has been watching the passing show at our busiest corner, Fifth avenue and Forty-second street, with penelope and notebook in hand, and the results of his findings are interesting. Here is what passed the corner every minute during the afternoon rush: 243 pedestrians; 4 Fifth avenue buses; 35 motor cars; and two and a half trolley cars. During two hours the total number of pedestrians was 35,149; total vehicles, 4,617; and surface cars, 304. The revolution—some kind of a revolution—has been accomplished. When the S. S. Potomac sailed for Queenstown from here the other day it carried with it as master-of-arms, a woman. You will appreciate the full significance of this if you understand that the master-of-arms of a ship keeps order among the sailors and sailors are NOT always the most subdued of men. Mrs. Harry Koin is the first woman in the world to undertake such a job. General Manager Rossbottom of the steamship line announces that the innovation is by way of being a psychological experiment. A sailor, he said, will occasionally hit any man who tries to calm him. But he can't very well hit a woman, can he? Well, then. What the sailors think of this has not been printed. It probably never will be. At least not by me. Onlookers at the Van Cortlandt park skating were chill-striken the other day when the skaters were first out in full force. There were a dozen girls or so in kilties. Kilties are quite all right and good looking as a skating costume, of course, and the bright plaids were decidedly attractive. But they wore them consistently. That was the shock. Below the short plaited skirts to all appearances there dangled a good CLAIM SEPARATORS STOP CIRCULATION Ever have battery trouble? Ask this question to a motor car owner and nine out of ten will answer "yes" right of the bat. Then he will tell you he can't keep his battery charged or that he just had it reinsulated, or rebuilt, or some thing else that represents expense and annoyance. And why? Because trouble is bound to come when separators are there. Batteries are no more efficient than their separators and because of them cannot be as efficient as without. You would not think of erecting obstructions arteries of your body and prevent perfect circulation of your blood. No, of course not. Then why stop up the circulation of a battery? Why do battery manufacturers seek to get porosity in separators? Because they want the electrolyte to have as free circulation as possible. In the Gill battery separators have been eliminated—absolutely. What can be more porous than nothing? All of which Selby and More, local distributors for Gill butteries opined in a dissertation on the advantage of the battery to the automobile editor of this paper yesterday. And their argument was so convincing that I wanted to see a demonstration and he promptly complied with the request. Then Mr. Selby asked me to pick out a battery from stock, which I did, and placed it in a car and stepped on the starter with the switch key of. The motor ground around and around until I thought it would never stop. I thought he was crazy. "Well, I suppose you have ruined the batter, I ventured." "Wait and see, was all I could get out of him." In the space of a minute or two he again stepped on the button and away it went, running the motor at a fast speed for some time. This was not enough and he repeated this several times and after each short rest the butter came right back. "I did that to show you the remarkable recuperative properties of the battery after a high rate of discharge. No separators and perfect circulation turn the trick," he concluded. And I started to think Not everyone who pays subway fares rides in the subway in New York. Those underground passageways serve more than one purpose. The really experienced New Yorker has learned how to thread his way under our streets and buildings for several blocks at a time in rainy weather when dryness is more desired than daylight, and he accomplishes scores of business errands that way which would otherwise take him several minutes walk on the streets above. He is perfectly willing to pay his nickel to walk on the subway platforms at such times. May we'll become a race of moles in time just because someone devised underground travel. URGE EARLY BUYING AT MEAT MARKETS Anaheim meat cutters are again appealing to the public to make their meat purehases before 7 p.m. Saturdays. "Unlike salesmen in other lines of trade, a meat cutter can't put his coat and hat on immediately after closing up the shop," said a statement today. "It takes considerable time and work to take care of unsold meats. The meat cutters like to get off duty, after the long hours of Saturday, as early as other clerks. Consequently, it is necessary to close the shop earlier." FIRST BABY BORN IN C. OF C. TENTS The first baby born in the C. of C. tent ground on So. Los Angeles-st arrived yesterday, Friday, the 13th, to Mr. and Mrs. Henry E. Tipton. It is a girl, weight 9½ pounds. Mother and infant are doing nicely. CUT DOWN 60-YEAR-OLD TREE The 60-year-old pine tree on the lot just south of the Dunton garage, which was split dangerously by the wind this week, was being cut down today. PREST-O-LITE PRICE IS REDUCED AGAIN Through its local distributor, Robt. V. Jensen, Prest-O-Lite Co., announces a 45 per cent reduction in the price of a model for Fords and other light cars. This particular model is now down to the trade-in price of $20.90, which is lower than 1917 price. The reduction covers all types, and the saving in dollars and cents is very large, although the percentage of reduction varies in many cases. In September, 1920, this battery sold for $38.45. In December the price was reduced to $30.40. The company reports that sales on this and other Prest-O-Lite batteries are unusually large and they predict a big full business.
