THE JEWISH MONITOR
Friday July 2 1920.
jl'1'"'1 "I
Inews from Dallas!
Jews Will Build Modern Hospital.
A movement now is under way to as-
sure for Dallas another modern hos-
pital to cost approximately $1000000
and to be erected with funds contrib-
uted by people of the Jewish faith in
this city and in the surrounding ter-
ritory according to an announcement
made recently by Arthur L. Kramer
general chairman of the committee in
charge of the project. The capacity of
the hospital will be about 150 beds and
construction work is expected to be-
gin about January 1 1921.
The decision to erect a Jewish hos-
pital in Dallas is the result of a sug-
gestion recently made by the Dallas
Chapter of the Council of Jewish
Women according to Mr. Kramer. He
explained that while it is the intention
of the committee to solicit funds only
from Jews voluntary subscriptions
have been received and will be accept-
ed from other sources whenever made.
The active cempaign for funds will not
commence until falL
For All Humanity.
The hospital when completed will be
dedicated to all humanity regardless
of creed or denomination Mr. Kramer
advised. "This is one of the finest ways
in which Jewish citizens in Dallas can
memoralize their great interest in the
growth of their city and the welfare of
the people at large" he declared.
"While our people always have res-
ponded and will continue to respond
liberally to the support of charitable
institutions we have nothing concrete
of that character which is strictly our
own such as the Baptists have at the
Baptist Sanitarium the Catholics at
the St. Paul Sanitarium and the Meth-
odists at the Southern Methodist Uni-
versity. The building of this hospital
as the contribution of Jews of Dallas
toward the alleviation of human suf-
fering without restriction of creed or
class will be a lasting and fitting tes-
timonial of their desire to serve hu-
manity and assume their just propor-
tion of responsibility in the communi-
ty." The following voluntary contribu-
tions have been received and were an-
nounced by Mr. Kramer: Sanger Bros.
$100000; Titche-Goettinger Company
and A. Harris & Co. $12500 each;
Max and Leonard Eppstein $10000;
Harry Sigel $10000; Theo Marcus
$10000; Louis Lipsitz $10000; Jos-
eph Schepps $5000; Ben Ablon $5-
000; Mrs. Edgar L. Pike $5000; Louis
Reinhardt $3000; Louis Kleinman
$2000 and Royal A. Ferris $1000.

PREPARATIONS FOR .'SERVICES
AT RESORTS.
The eleventh season of services at
summer resorts under the auspices of
the Bureau of Summer services is be-
ing launched by the Department of Sy-
nagog and School Extension which
stimulates religious worship at resorts
where large numbers of Jews spend
their vacations. The Department has
communicated with rabbis all over the
country soliciting their aid in popular-
izing services at summer resorts. A
large number of these have returned
favorable replies. Some have addressed
their congregations urgently request-
ing the members to organize worship
at places where they will reside during
their vacations.
The Department has supplied itself
abundantly with leaflet reprints from
the Union Prayer Book which it has
provided gratis in former years for
the use of congregations at resorts
and now stands ready to distribute as
many of these as are needed for the
same purpose this season. In addition
the Department will furnish pamph-
lets containing the words of hymns
which were recently reprinted from
the Union Hymnal by permission of
the Central Conference of American
Rabbi. Complete hymnals will be loan-
ed for the use of choirs and organists.
All literature required for summer
services can be obtained by communi-
cating with the Department of Syna-
gog and School Extension 62 Dutten-
hofer Bldg. Cincinnati.
The Bureau of Summer Services
was established in 1910 to sustain the
interest of our people in religion dur-
ing the period when they turn their at-
tention from the cares of work to the
pleasures of vacation. The tendency to
allow interest to lapse during this per-
iod seemed to verify the belief that
many Jews were not at heart devoted
to their religion but regarded it mere-
ly a burden. It was generally taken
for granted that they would not ap-
. ply themselves to the Task" of wor-
ship while giving themselves over to
a care-free life. However the growing
popularity of summer services since
the year they were organized under
the auspices of the Bureau of Summer
Services contradicts this belief. In
1910 17 rabbis conducted 60 services
in 10 places. In 1919 59 rabbis and
laymen conducted 256 services in 35
places. That laymen should be includ-
ed among those who lead in worship
is especially significant of the spirit in
which religious services have been re-
ceved by the public. Reports from all
the 35 places where services were held
last year tell of the religious enthusi-
asm which the congregation displayed.
It is expected that the season of sum
mer services this year will be of great-
er proportions in all respects than ever
before.
Extension Supervisor Confirms Chil-
dren. Six children were confirmed at Tuc-
son Arizona on May 80 by Rabbi
Martin Zielonka of El Paso Texas
who as a representative of the De-
partment of Synagog and School Ex-'
tension has been conducting religious
work at the Arizona town for some
time. It was due to Rabbi Ziolonka's
efforts that Temple Emanu-El of
Tucson was re-established on a firm
basis.
Under the able surperviBion of Mrs.
Chas. E. Solomon the religious school
has been meeting with remarkable
success.
Students' View of Services.
A student's view of Jewish religious
services at colleges is expressed in a
letter from Samuel H. Baron presi-
dent of the Jewish students' organiza-
tion at the University of Indiana
Bloomington.
The letter from Baron reads in part
as follows:
"As we Jewish students look back
upon the year that ha just closed we
feel that although there is room for
improvement our organization has ac-
complished something for ui. We plan
to have a stronger organization next
year.
"We are grateful for what the De-
partment of Synapou and School Ex-
tension has done for us. Although we
number among our members persons
of varying shades cf belief our groups
was able to come together on common
ground. Accordingly we all enjoyed
the visits of Rabbi Frcehof and Dr. En-
. plander as well as of Rnbbi Feurlicht
of Indianapolis. I believe that these
visiting rabbis will acree that there
was no lack of interest shown in what
they had to say. Quite the contrary
we displayed quite an eagerness for
information and enlightment upon a
great variety of subjects having a di-
rect or indirect Jewish interest. In
this University it is a relief to our
little group of Jewish men and wom-
en to be reminded that we are Jews
with a cultural heritage."
Rabbi Louis I. Egclson Assistant-
Director of the Department of Syna-
gog and School Extension included
the University of Indiana in his vis-
its last winter to co'lcges of the middle
west and cast for the purpose of es-
tablishing some form of religious ob-
servance at those institutions. The De-
rarnrnt Inter arranged to have rabbis

DEAD SOULS QUICK DOLLARS.
A newspaper account of a will con-
test always attracts some public at-
tention. The person who made the will
generally dies at a most advanced age
and was a man of most venerable ap-
pearance and was considered a person
of unusual prominence in the commun-
ity. Such cases have come to my at-
tention from time to time and I have
often wondered why Sir Oliver Lodge
has not tried an experiment with some
cf them. Somehow they always remind
ire of Goirol that Dickens of Russian
life In his Pickwickian masterpiece
Petd Souls.
In Dead Souls a scheming dandy
buys serfs in large numbers. These

slaves are dealt with in paper much as
the sale of modern labor is on the
rtock exchanges. In the Russian story
the hardworked toilers are sold but
their sale no longer bares their backs
to a new lash or humbles their faces
before a new tyranny. They are dead.
The dead soul of the toiler Is sold to
this schemer to trade in and attempt
to make a fortune. The man who la-
bors in the field of life has a soul. Of
that there can be very little doubt.
When he toils and takes joy from his
work nnd his dailv contacts with the
world a world of opportunity and
companionship his soul lives and he is
a human being.
Contrast the living being with the
moribund or really dead and unres-
ponding creature of dust and ashes
the moving clay figure that can show
no reaction to a life stimulant other
than the one which clinks of dollars.
There is no more a soul in that body.
It would be a good experiment for Sir
Oliver testing carefully the soul con-
tent of the normal man to see what '
i tho soul-shiveling quality of this
strand radium the dollar.
These old men should be lovetl and
respected by all. If they have infirm-
ities they should but inspire affection.
Yet I have seen them tottering to oid
men's ends the respect of expectant
heirs and lickspittle employees osten-
tatiously given them but not one
spontaneous touch of affection vouch-
safted their hoary heads. Even Lear
had his fool and his daughter and his
faithful ones in his adversity. These
