Chicago Hadassah-Members who
are in town will get together at- a
luncheon to be given at the Parkway
hotel on Tuesday, July 28, at 12:30
o'clock. One of the features of the
afternoon will be a report of the Zion-ist
Congress and Jewish Agency and
Miss Esther Spiro will sing a group
of Jewish folk-songs. Because of Ha-dassah's
particular type of work, ac-tivities
continue throughout the sum-mer,
particularly the Jewish National
Fund and Infant Welfare. Palestine
has today a scientific method of pre-serving
and nurturing the lives of in-fants
that is steadily lowering the in-fant
mortality and generally raising
the standard of health, not only in
Palestine but throughout the entire
Near East. Today, thousands of
babies are receiving the finest medical
attention in Hadassah's twenty-two in-fant
welfare stations and two health
centers and thousands of mothers are
being given pre-natal and post-natal
care and are learning to supervise in-telligently
the health of their children.

LEADERS SEE CONGRESS' RE-SULTS
IN VARYING LIGHTS
Basle (J. T. A.)-With the dele-gates
to the Zionist Congress making
dispersing to the four quarters of the
globe, the outcome of the Congress
was interpreted in a variety of ways
by leaders of the different parties and
groups in brief statements issued to
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency re-cently.
Valdimir Jabotinsky, Revisionist
chieftain, who at one point of the Con-gress
led his followers in a dramatic
walkout of protest, said "the Congress
concluded with resolutions which mean
a new policy and with an Executive
which willucontinueathe old policy
which is just like all Zionist Con-gresses."
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, whose bitter
indictment of British policy in Pales-tine
and sharp criticism of the retir-ing
Zionist leader, Dr. Chaim Weiz-mann,
was one of the highlights of the
Congress, characterized the gathering
as "one of forward-looking hope. The
change in leadership proves to the
doubting that the Zionist movement is
greater than any man. The Jewish
National Home will yet be our own.',
Dr. Leo Motzkin, who as chairman
of the Congress' presidium, presided
over most of the sessions of the Con-gress,
said meaningfully that "the end
of thegCongRiessis better than its be-ginning."
Rabbi Meyer Berlin, leader
of the Mizrachi, Orthodox Zionists,
found that the Congress "began with
despair and concluded with hope. The
new Executive means not only new
people but also a new path."
Isaac Naiditch, French leader, as-serted
that the Congress "had killed
a man but did not kill the system"
while M. Haskel of South Africa said
"it now remains for Dr. Weizmann to
respect the Congress' decision and not
to participate in any action which
might prejudice the work of the new
Executive."
Prof. Selig Brodetsky, a member of
the new Executive and a confidant of
July 26, in the Sand Dunes, near Mil-ler,
Ind. Miss Lena Prizament is the
secretary. Reba Mallach is president.
Junioirettes of the Chicago Consump-tive
Aid Society-The "Sisters of the
Somevar" drive was culminated in the
form of a tea on Sunday, July 12,
at the Drake hotel. The proceeds of
the drive have gone towards the main-tenance
of the Fox River Sanitarium
at Batavia, Ill. Jeanette S. Lebow is
presidlent.
Chicago Conference of Temple
Men's, Clubs-The results of the golf
tournament held recently at the West-moor
Country Club were as follows:
Paul S. Freedman of Temple Mizpah
Men's' Club won the Irving Cohen
trophy; Ed Steinborn of Temple Beth
El Men's Club won the Paul N. Lack-ritz
trophy; L. Rosenblatt of Temple
Mizpah Men's Club and S. Morrison
of Anshe Emet Men's Club tied for
second low gross; Barney Cushman of
Temple Emanuel Men's Club won sec-ond
low net. The committee in charge
of the event were Dr. N. D. Liberfarb
of Temple BetheEl Men's Club, Ben J.
Sackheim of Temple Emanuel Men's
Club, Lloyd M. Landeker- of Sinai
Temple Men's ClubLand Charles Simon
of Temple Mizpah Men's Club. The
purpose of the tournament was to pro-mote
good fellowship among the sev-eral
men's clubs of'Chicago. The day
was concluded with dinner and cards
in the evening. The next tournament
is planned for Thursday, August 13,
at Genwoodie Country Club. Ben J.
Sackheim is president of the confer-ence.
Dr. Weizmann, pointed out that the
Congress was "signalized by the de-parture
of Dr. Weizmann from leader-ship
but this does not mean that the
Congress rejected the fundamentals of
the policy which Dr. Weizmann bril-liantly
led for so many years.
"The Congress showed that our spirit
as a nation is not broken. On the
contrary, we stand united in the firm
will to achieve in Palestine Herzl's
dream and the internationally recog-nized
aim of a Jewish National Home."
Emanuel Neumann, one of the two
Americans on the new Executive, as-serted
that "it was a difficult Congress,
coming after a series of political re-verses.
The overwhelming majority
deeply appreciated Dr. Weizmann's un-questioned
devotion and contributions
to the cause, but the Congress clearly
expressed a desire for a change in the
political and economic spheres. The
Zionist Organization emerged from the
Congress unbroken and unshaken in
its determination to go forward to-wards
its unchanging goal."
The other American member of the
Executive, BerluLocker, said he con-sidered
the results of the Congress
under the circumstances created, satis-factory.
"It is certainly the firm deci-sion
of all members of the new Ex-ecutive,
without giving up their prin-ciples,
to work together loyally and sin-cerely
alongoa common program under
the slogan of upbuilding work under
any circumstances," Mr. Locker said.
Jacob Fishman, managing editor of
the Jewish Morning Journal asserted
that "Weizmann was ostensibly the
scapegoat but in reality he emerged
bigger than before. The vote of the
majority of the American delegation
was solemnly dictated by a policy of
revenge against Weizmann."
Mrs. Archibald Silverman, an alter-nate
member of the Actions Committee,
said " a change of leadership was abso-lutely
necessary at this particular junc-tiAre
in Zionist affairs. I was not
against Dr. Weizmann, but I voted
against him as a protest against the
British government."

"BREAK DOWN THE WALL OF
ETERNAL SILENCE."
Club women aided by Midwest Ra-dio
Trades Association will present
one hundred radios to Chicago public
schools. Mrs. Louis Pelton, Chairman
of the Hearing Aids Committee of the
Chicago Woman's Aid, was. campaign-ing
for one hundred radios and eight
hundred head-phones to be used by
school children with impaired hearing.
Mrs. Pelton, although being deafened-herself,
has never lost courage. She
has gone one step farther, and has de-signed
a unique speaking tube for
school children with impaired hearing.
Sufficient material is to be contributed
to make five hundred of these special
speaking tubes.
These tubes will be so attractive
that hard-of-hearing children will be
less conscious of their handicap, and
will be eager to use them in order that
they may hear better, and at the same
time improve their speech.
There are no longer any deaf mutes;
they are termed deaf orals.
Now many lip readers have only a
seeing intelligence and have no concep-tion
of sound; but, when all of the nec-essary
equipment will be at their com-mand,
teachers will be able to develop
maximum results.
Special vocational guidance will
properly prepare members for society.
.The deafened public is enjoying per-formances
atefour theatres, and serv-ices
is over eighty churches which have
head-phones attached to special seats.
Mrs. Pelton has also been re-appointed
chairman of this work by the Confer-ence
of Jewish Women's Organiza-tions,
composed of eighty-seven clubs,
and is acting in an advisory capacity
to fourteen groups.
The Women's Medical Club, and the
Chicago and Cook County Federation
of Women's Organizations,vas well as
other well known clubs, have endorsed
the above campaign.
The chairman offered to the Laryn-gological
Society a solution for test-ing
every school child's hearing each
year. The President, Dr. George Den-nis,
has promised prompt investiga-tion.

RINSING clothes properly is an
art; an art that we have mas-tered.
Amounts of water-number
of changes-temperature of each
successive bath-all must be con-sidered.
Gallons upon gallons of
purest rainsoft water flush away
every trace of soap and dirt.
Sixteen to seventeen complete
rinses are used in the "multiple-suds, multiple-rinse" method.
Thus, we flood your clothes with cleanliness. Your family
washing comes back fresh, sweet-smelling, spotless. And
this thoughtful care protects every laundering process.
