A warning to the Jewish population to see to it that Jews who die in the city hospitals are buried in accordance with Jewish rites and not delivered to the clinics for dissection was issued by the Warsaw rabbinate.
The appeal draws to the attention of the Jewish population that, in accordance with a new city ordinance, the hospitals are obliged to turn over to the clinics the bodies of Jews who die in the city hospitals if no claim is made by relatives of the deceased within twenty-four hours.
EXPERT SEES POSSIBILITY FOR OIL IN PALESTINE
Good possibilities for oil in Palestine were described by F. Julius Fohs, chief geologist of the Humphreys Corporation and Chairman of the Petroleum Division of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, who addressed the meeting of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists on Tuesday. His subject was “The Geology and Oil and Gas Possibilities of Palestine and the Sinaitic Peninsula.”
“Of a total of 12,700 square miles in Palestine proper, more than three hundred square miles offer structural conditions warranting testing for oil and gas.” he said. “The Sinaitic Peninsula also offers possibilities, although there is little possibility of oil in Western Transjordania. With ample reservoir beds, with ample source material and with good structural traps,” said Mr. Fohs, “we see every reason for the development of an oil supply in Palestine.”
Dr. Ernst Julius Cohen, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Utrecht Holland, will address the Chicago section of the American Chemical Society tomorrow. His subject will be “Caricature in Science.”
Dr. Cohen is one of the outstanding chemists of Europe, and is the foremost authority in the field of piezo chemistry. He came to this country early this year to attend the meetings of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry of which he is President. He was visiting Professor of chemistry at the University of Chicago during the summer session.
