Kauders, pioneer Milwaukee postcard manufacturer. The accident occurred while he was on a business trip. Born in New York city 63 years ago, Mr. Kauders settled in Milwaukee 50 years ago and became associated with the E. C.

Kropp postcard manufactures, of which he was secretary-treasurer. Mr. Kauders, who lived at 4122 N. Stowell avenue, was a member of Congregation Emanu-El B'ne Jeshurun. Survivors are a sister, Miss Bertha Kauders, and two step-daughters, Mrs.

Ruth U. Breslauer and Mrs. Helen U. Ilayward, all of Milwaukee. Rabbi Samuel Hirshberg, a close friend of Mr.

Kauders, officiated at the funeral services held Friday at the Weiss chapel, 1901 N. Farwell avenue. Interment was at the Appleton, Wis. cemetery in which Mrs. Kauders was buried.

THEODORE LEVY Funeral services for Theodore Levy, believed to be the city's oldest merchant, who died Sunday, May 23, at the Tower hotel, were held Wednesday at the Franzen and Son chapel, 1334 N. Twelfth street, under the auspices of the Milwaukee Masonic lodge. Interment was in Spring Hill cemetery. Mr. Levy, who was born 85 years ago in Alsace Lorraine, came to Milwaukee at the age of 18.

For 60 years he operated a store on W. National avenue near S. Sixth street and was also a partner in the firm of Levy Kahn, which prior to 1905 had a store at W. Wisconsin avenue and N. Third street.

Survivors are his wife, Rachel; four children, Leo, Edmund, Mrs. Hugo Weiner and Dorothy; and a sister, Mrs. Babette Kahn. r. YUKON CLUB BEUERAGES not one day another Jew of the colony come upon him accidentally by the river "What are you doing here, Pinya?" Proposition Refused There was nothing for Mr.

Kopman to do but to reveal his secret. This was gold he was gathering, he said, but if Alexander (that was the other Jews' name, I believe) would say nothing about it, he would divide with him fifty-fifty. This was a proposition that would have been considered fair enough in any community except one that had fallen under the new subversive influences. But this was Biro-Bidjan, and Alexander took the whole bottle from Mr. Kopman.

This gold, he said, was like the sheaves; it belonged to the whole community; he called Mr. Kopman a traitor even. What is the world coming to? I sighed. A man isn't allowed to make good for himself. There was only one thing to do: Mr.

Kopman picked up a club and struck Alexander a mighty blow and left him for dead by the river. Then he picked up his bottle of sand and fled. It was saddening for me to discover that the younger Jews in the audience didn't appreciate Mr. Kopman's enterprise; so far have our young fallen from the old paths of success, from Americanism even, I might say. Understands Censorship Now They said that Jews looked far more noble (looked prophetic even) working co-operatively than Mr.

Kopman gathering gold for himself alone. They regarded Mr. Kopman as a detestable character a symbol of the selfishness of the old order, they said a selfishness that takes up murder (such as war, such as beating Alexander's brains out) for the sake of its greed, they told me. Oh, I sighed, what has come over young Jews to despise a man like Mr. Kopman What hurt me particularly was to hear them laugh joyously when (after he was arrested) it was found that the stuff in Mr.

Kopman's bottle was not gold at all, only sand. They found satiric implications in this. I felt quite lonely in the theatre: only Mr. Kopman and relics of good old times. I could only shudder for the future of my business (U.

S. Doorknobs, Inc.) As one capitalist looking at another, I could see why our censors had withheld this picture of enterprising Mr. Kopman's fate in Biro-Bidjan from public view. (Copyright, 1937) MADISON SWEET PICKLES Jar 25 424-Ox. Btls.

COFFEE Mc PRUNES Cincinnati Dental colleges have the largest percentage of Jewish students of all professional schools in America, it is revealed by the June issue of the B'nai B'rith Magazine, just off the press. The revelation is made in an article by Dr. Lee J.

Lev-inger, director of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation Research Bureau, which recently completed an exhaustive inquiry into American Jewish student conditions in more than 1300 colleges and universities. Contrary to popular belief, the percentage of Jewish students in medical schools is relatively low on the list of leading professions, the article proves. Jewish students constitute 26.37 per cent of all dental students; 25.11 per cent of all law students; 22.32 per cent of all pharmacy students; and 16.68 per cent of all commerce students, the survey shows, while Jewish medical students are fifth in the list, with 16.15 per cent. Many In Social Work A total of 13.6 per cent of all who are studying social work are Jewish; 11.2 per cent of the veterinary medicine students: 6.98 per cent of the engineering students; 3.05 per cent of the education students; and 2.3 of agriculture students, according to Dr. Levinger's survey.

Some 35,000 Jewish students of the 105,000 Jewish students in America are now registered in the various professional schools, the survey revealed. Approximately 4,000 are enrolled in medical schools, or one out of each six medical students. There are 7,500 Jewish law students, or one out of every four law students. Although there are large percentages of Jewish students in the dental and pharmacy colleges, neither dentistry nor pharmacy, as professional fields in the country as a whole, are overcrowded, Dr. Levinger found.

Optometry is another small profession in which Jews represent a faily large proportion of the students. One student in every six in the commerce colleges is a Jew, according to the survey. "The field of public accounting," Dr. Levinger writes, "is largely closed to Jewish graduates of the commerce college as very few firms engaged in this work will hire them. On the other hand, business as a whole has always been open to a Jew." Few Teachers, Engineers "There are only 4,500 Jewish students among the 150,00 education students in the country, a small percentage largely accounted for, according to Dr.

Levinger, by the fact that many boards of education, especially in rural areas, discriminate against Jewish teachers. A similar situation prevails in the field of engineering, he found, where-only -seven-per cent of the students are Jews. Only 2.5 per cent of the 10,000 agricultural students are Jews.

The new method is said to be of great value in the prevention and diagnosis of disease. FANCY Cucumbers Euh 5c As one capitalist looking at another, I felt rather disturbed on account of Pinya Kopman. I came across Mr. Kopman at one of our local theatres in which a private showing of "A Greater Promise," a picture of Biro-Bidjan was being given. Our State's censors had prohibited "A Greater Promise" from being shown publicly because (the censors said) it had to do with racial equality and had come from Russia and all that.

You see, in Biro-Bidjan the Jews are treated equally as a racial group and given standing as citizens of their own republic. It seems our censors felt that to offer an exhibition of racial equality was something that might stir up this and that in our own country. Then, again, the censors felt it was not exactly American for people to be working collectively, as Jews do in Biro-Bidjan. Saw Private Showing But some of the younger set thought it would be a great lark to see the picture in a private showing in order to make sure that is was really as bad for their minds as the censors said; as if the censors don't know what's good and what's bad for us better than we ourselves do. They took me along.

Thus I came upon Pinya Kopman. He was one of the men of the Biro-Bidjan settlement. He was about of my age, a fellow who in happier times had done well in the real estate business, I should guess. I could understand Mr. Kopman; for he and I were of the same generation that used to know how to get it when the getting was good.

I could well visualize Mr. Kopman in the good times: He was, doubtless, one who every Saturday was called to participate in the honors of the Torah; he (I am sure) was one who always could be depended upon to buy a new stained glass window for the synagogue; he was (as I could easily guess) chairman of this and that; a substantial man, a rugged individualist, a man after my own heart. But evil days had fallen on Mr. Kopman, what with the revolution, what with him (a former capitalist) being declassed. Restored at last to good standing, he accepted an opportunity to settle in Biro-Bidjan.

No Chance for Wealth Who doesn't know how it goes in Biro-Bidjan? For people like me and Mr. Kopman there is nothing. There, it seems, Jews work together for the good of everybody and together they plow and sow and gather the harvest; together they build houses. So what is there for a man in Biro-Bidjan at the end of his life? Elsewhere in the world a man may have even a million dollars at the end of his life. In Biro-Bidjan (after a hundred years) a man has only his daily bread and his house and garden (the soil of which is held in common) and for his children there is no inheritance but the fields and the mountains and the rivers and the sunlight, which are everybody's.

Such a life can have no attraction for people like Mr. Kopman and me, who like to work for the main chance, as the saying is; this is to say, ourselves alone. In Biro-Bidjan Jews were running threshing machines in large companies together, and together were gathering in the sheave. Doubtless Mr. Kopman could remember that in the more civilized communities in which he used to live everybody was out gathering for himself, and a good man like Mr.

Kopman could gather more sheaves for himself than anybody. A good man like Mr. Kopman could pile up even more sheaves than he could ever use. Was this (in Biro-Bidjan) a life for Mr. Kopman? "The Right Spirit" I (who have always been a strudy man for myself) applauded Mr.

Kopman when he took steps to make good on his own account. Mr. Kopman had read somewhere that there was gold in the Biro-Bidjan rivers. He reasoned it all out: While the other Jews were working only for the common good (with no one getting rich) he would gather gold from the river, accumulate a fortune and then, running away from Biro-Bidjan, become a respected man in the more civilized centers where gold was held in esteem. "That," I mused, "is the right spirit." So, while other Jews were gathering sheaves collectively, M.

Kopman was up and doing for himself, secretly gathering sand by the river. He poured the sand into a bottle, raised it to the sunlight, was sure it was gold. Oh, I laughed gleefully, after a hundred years Mr. Kopman will die a rich man while the children of these other Jews will inherit only the mountains, the rivers and the fields which are in common. Mr.

Kopman's children will buy stained glass windows in memory of their father and enjoy the honors of the Torah on the Sabbath. There is no telling how much sand Mr. Kopman might have gathered had Open Evenings and Sundays 2319 S.

Tobey cephalitis to the l-J 1 Philip J. Weiss, inc. So he offers you extra good cars at extra good prices! Another important fact is this. Buick dealers are in business to stay. Probably no other make of car has dealers with such a record for permanence.

Men like this make honest prices take pains in reconditioning their used cars and back them solidly with reputations that stand for something. Greatest time of all is NOW! Today this opportunity for you to get a fine used car at a real bargain is better than ever before. Prices are unusually attractive. Terms are so easy that anyone can afford them. Why not pick one out today? Go see what your Buick dealer is offering.

IT'S easy to see why "you get a better used car from a Buick dealer" once you know these facts. We state them frankly. Buick has been the most sensationally popular car on the market this year. And that has given Buick dealers the cream of the used car "trade-ins" in your locality and everywhere. These used cars in general are jar above average in looks, style, and mechanical condition.

Cars you would be proud to own and would take real pleasure in driving. Now, in order to take care of his extraordinary business on new Buick cars, your Buick dealer has to sell these splendid "trade-ins" promptly get them moved and out of the way. M. R. WEISS President ZENO M.

HOST Secretary FUNERAL SERVICE germs of contagious abortion, a malady of cattle. This abortion disease can be spread to human beings, by means of contaminated raw milk of low grades. In man the disease is called undulant fever, and it is both painful and difficult to cure, although not often fatal. Last year there were reported to health authorities in this country about 2000 cases of undulant fever, mostly in rural regions where milk supplies are not pasteurized and where cattle have not been tested for this disease. Prevention of Undulant Fever Not all of these cases of undulant fever were due to drinking infected raw milk, since more than half of them, chiefly among farm workers, were caused by direct contact with diseased cows, goats, and swine, the only animals which are known to suffer from the abortion malady.

Pasteurization of clean milk is a positive safeguard against the dangers of contracting undulant fever from raw milk, as this careful heating process destroys these germs, and all other dangerous bacteria, and makes the milk safe. You should, therefore, consume only high-grade pasteurized or certified milks, and should insist upon such products in your community. In most of our large cities, all or practically all of the milk supplies are now required to be pasteurized or certified. Certified milk may generally be obtained either as pasteurized or raw milk, but there is no danger from undulant fever in this superior grade of raw milk, since the cattle producing it are carefully selected and are tested regularly. Milk is our best all-around food, and should always be the foundation of the daily diet, but it must be pure milk, and should be either pasteurized or certified.

The same may be said of other valuable dairy products, particularly butter, cream, cheese, and ice cream. no CD NORTH FARWELL AVENUE COR. E.
