REPORT OF COUNCIL OF
JEWISH WOMEN
Your Committee on Immigrant Edu
cation desires to make the following
report:
Besides making the customary visits
your committee had four internation
al cases. One of these was especially
interesting. The National requested
your chairman to find a brother-in-
law of a widow in Poland from whom
she had not heard in years. We found
he had a small business and at the
time could give no financial assistance
as his family all had the flu and his
expenses had been rather heavy. He
had never seen this woman who was
the widow of his half brother and
your chairman did not feel that she
could urge him to make the sacrifice.
How ever we sent his address to our
National Organization. About a month
ago he called us and asked if he could
send ten dollars to his relatives
through our organization as he could
not take the time away from his store
and he wanted them to have the money
for Passover. We could not help feel
ing that many of us could learn what
it really means to give from this poor
man.
If a child was asked for a real hon
est answer to the question “What is
the most important thing in your
life,” and the child answered candidly,
it would probably say “F^ating,” es
pecially a growing child. And recog
nizing it as an important factor, your
committee on Americanization has ar
ranged for a “Cooking” class as an
aid to its activity.
To those who may think this ac
tivity far fetched let it be understood
that one of the major problems of our
work is to establish confidence and
understanding between the foreign
parent and her children who are mak
ing more rapid progress in assimilat
ing American customs and language
and the difference in foods and the
manner of preparing it often causes
difficulties and misunderstandings. A
child sees the food that the other chil
dren, native to this land, eat and oft
en in the homes sees the way it is pre
pared. Often this is preferable to
what they see in their homes. They
want their mothers to conform to
what is around them but so frequent
ly the mothers can’t or won’t do it.
There are many difficulties; differ
ences in the food used—such as dried
vegetables used by some instead of the
green vegetables that are grown here,
and different ways of preparation.
The child would so much prefer that
its mother do the same as the neigh
bor, but the Mother does not know
how—and misunderstanding and es
trangements rseult. So as a means of
bringing better relations in the home
as well as teaching the entire family
how to use the food that is native to
our soil and thereby increase their
love for the country of their adop
tion, we intend to help them learn
American cooking and how best to use
American products.
We have been fortunate in securing
the services of a teacher in one of
the Junior-High Schools who will
have charge of the work. The classes
will be conducted in the homes, follow
ing the system we have found most
successful in our educational work.
The dietary laws will be respected so
as to avoid any antagonism and en
list co-operation. And when the moth
er and child, working in harmony, can
have well cooked food, that not only
uses the best the foreign mother
knows but also uses the methods and
foods that the neighboring child is
accustomed to, the barrier of differ
ence will be removed, the children can
have their companions come into their
own homes without fear of embarrass
ment or need of explanations; the
child will not be longing for what the
other child has and of what she is
deprived without what seems to her
a reasonable explanation.
And we are led to hope that when
mother and children get along well
together on the improvement matter
of food and the way to serve it, may
be it will lead to a better understand
ing and exchange of confidence in oth
er things, and generally to a happy
and contented American family.
It has been said that the Briton is
affected by his diet; probably this is
more or less true of all lands.
ADOLPH WEISSMANN, GERMAN
MUSIC CRITIC, DIES IN HAIFA
Haifa (J. T. A.)—Adolph Weiss-
mann, well known German music
critic, died here yesterday of heart
failure.
Mr. Weissmann arrived in Pales
tine last week from Berlin. Several
days before his death he delivered a
lecture at the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem on modern music. Bruno
Eisner, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, Herman
Struck and Professor Schorr delivered
eulogies at the funeral which was
held in Jerusalem.
EINSTEIN FINALLY GETS GIFT
FROM BERLIN MUNICIPALITY
Berlin (J. T. A.)—The embarrass
ment in which the Berlin City Council
placed itself by offering to Prof. Al
bert Einstein on the occasion of his
fiftieth birthday a house which had
been leased for five years was ended
by the City F'athers yesterday.
The City Council now presented the
famous scientist with a piece of land
near Lake Kaputh, where Prof. Ein
stein will build a small house for
himself at his own expense.

—an artist, an actress, and
a sculptress of world fame—
these three have been design-
ing shoes for Macy’s and
Davison-Paxons
Being artists, it was of paramount
importance to them that the shoes they
designed should be beautiful. But being
modern, they also planned them for
practical down-to-the-earth wear. And
being extremely feminine, they manip
ulated leathers and applied designs that
would give the modern foot Cinderella
proportions!
Six designs are now available to At
lanta women. If you feel that your
foot has never looked its best, these
shoes were designed for you!
