City council w.is hiformcd by letter Monday night from C. C. Slater, general n'anager of the Rail-Light Co,, that ef¬ fective .April 1st, street car fare in Co- liinibns would be 10 cents for single fare, five tickets for iKi cents. This is an in¬ crease of 4 cents on cash fares and cents increase on ticket fares.
Conncil heard the letter read, recalled lo mind tlLit the Kail-Li'jht Co. is opcr atin'.» without a rranchise, then looked gloomily and rather hopelessly into the futrirc.
A resolution was adopted ordering City .Attorney Le.ich to look into the sit¬ uation and the law and determine if cOUU' "•cil can do anything to prevent thc fare tncrease and a special mecthig of council was held Wednesday to hear Mr. Ijj.ich's findings.
Decision to increase (he street car fares was based, Mr. SUtcr explained, on the fact that street car business in Coluin- b'.is conslantly is dwindling and cars have hcen operated here at a huge lois for months.
Mr. Slater, in announcing his policy to the utilities connnittee of council Mon¬ d.iy, however, asserted that he was witluii his rights in eslablibhinB the new fjire.

Work o! "Pop" Jashenosky And Jack Myers Was Lauded By Speakers
The splendid work uf "Pop" Jashen- fjskj and Jack Myers was lauttal by the speakers at the synagogue dedication ex¬ ercises al thc Ohio State Penitentiary which took place .Sunday afternoon, Feb¬ ruary Ith.
Warden P. li. Thomas, in his address, declared that these fine Israelites have brought the message of faith and hoi,e to the Jewish men incarcerated within the walls of the penitentiary.
"They have always reminded the in¬ mates," he said, "that God's love has not forsaken theni and that there still arc broad-minded, forward-looking men who will help them secure a new lease on life. Day in, day out they have made it their bioiness to bring sunshine and good! cheer to the unfortunates behind the bars.
"Thc wholesome influence that they have exerted at this institution," de¬ clared' Mr. Thomas, "has stimulated many a discouraged man to renewed en¬ deavor at rehabilitating himself. Brothers Jashcnobky and Myers have been teach¬ ing the Jewish prisoners that the Uni¬ versal F.ither is always ready to forgive them if they change their outlook on life, retrace Iheir steps, and inarch on. ward and upward on the road oi Truth, Justice, and Humanity. For all thcir splendid labors tlicy have merited the grateful thanks and appreciation of every conscientious Jew," he conclud^l.
The dedication exercises were well attended. The inmates were inspired by tlic addresses of Rabbi Kivlin, Rabbi Tarshish, and Sidney G. Kiiswortn of Dayton. "Pop" Jashenosky presided over the exercises, which began whh .1 vocal selection entitled "Mah Tovil" by Cantor Salomon Grodner of the East Broad Street Temple.
In the absence of Rabbi Isaac Werne of the .Agudath Achim Congreg-llion, the opening prayer was made by Rabbi Tarshish. The presentation of the (lyn- a.?OEue was made by Warden Preston E. Thomas; the acceptance by Brother Jash¬ enosky. .\ short talk by Brother Jack -Myers, in which he gave a birds-cyc- view of the past fifteen years' ivork at the Pen, followed "Pop" Jaslieiiosky's address of acceptance.
The sermon of Rabbi S. Ris-lin dealt with "thc divuie siiark in the heart of every individual." Thc Rabhi admon¬ ished his auditors to heal the still small voice- of Truth which coiitiinially reminds us of our heritage .ind commands us to live up to the grand teachings vouch¬ safed unto us by oiv illustrious ances¬ tors. He tlicn spoke of the unity of the Jewish race, declaring th.-it if one Jew is honored, all Israel is honored; and that if one J^w falls into disgrace, the shame reflicts upon thc entire household of Israel.
A few vocal selections were then sfing by Cantor Ansel Freedman of the Agudath Achini  Congregation.
An unexpected spciker in the form ot Sidney G. Kusworm of Dayton was called ujion by Chairnian Jashenosky. Mr. Kusworm held his auditors siiell- boLidid for ten niiiintes, spciking to thcni in a licart-(o-heart fashion. He was fol lowed by Rabbi Jacoh Tarshish who stressed the significance of (1) the .Amer ican flag, (S) the perpetudl li'^ht. and (!l) the ten coininandmcnts. He urged his incarcerated auditors to rediscover their Jewislmess and lo rebuild) their characters and their souls.
"Forget your past." nsscrted the Rabbi, "and with' your God-given vision i>ro- cteiE to rehabilitate yourselves. There are many bro.id-niinded and kindly men who will assist you in your efforts to re¬ adjust yourselves and to becoine ireful citi/ens of your respective comniunities." An address by one of the prisoners, Max Scheff, was then read by Samuel Ruttnion. The exercises were closed by the singing of ''lin Kelohenu."

Tlie Social Service Connnittee of Ziou Lwlge takvS this means of thatiking Brother Alie A. Wolman for his splen¬ did cooperation iu carrying out the ur* rangiuicnts fur the ctciilication eKvrcisi^s.
Last Tltesday evening, February 20t]i, at the Southern Hotel, before a repre- i sentative group of local Jews composed , of members of thc Bryden Road Temple I Brotherhoocb and thcir ladie^, Gilbert i Bettman, attorney-general of Ohio, de- i livered an inspiring address in which lie j asserted that "the Jewish people of j America have a splctulid opportunity to ¦ .serve this land in the field of politics ami government." He decried tlic tend¬ ency ill man.v quarters to look aikance at ]>olitics and poh'ticians. declaring em¬ phatically that "the Atnerican people and its government arc cs.scntially honest."
Thc -At tor ney-General deplored medi¬ ocrity in offices of city, coimty, state and nation. He spoke in part as follows:— "I am most grateful to you for the cor¬ dial reception you have given me. I want to cnns^ratulate you on this splendid meeting. I like tlic reports uf joi-.r va¬ rious chairmen. Your activities as de¬ scribed here this evening indicate a strong and wholesome condition in the lift of your Congregation,"
Thc genial speaker then went on to in¬ form his auditors that tic is a trustee in one nf thc leading temples of Cincin- luili, which he considered the inner shrine of Reform Judaism in tbe Unitctl States. Tt was very evident tliat Mr. Bettman came to the meeting with no set .speech In his address he touched on numerous problems facing the American people as a whole and the Jewish peojdc in partic¬ ular. He digressed at a certain point to excoriate the proponents of the Weaver Bible Bill, and boldly asserted that the proper place for religion and rcliRious instruction is the Church, the Temple, the  Synagogue, and  thc  Home.
"The Jewish people," said thc speaker, "have a fine aiu\ wonderfully developwl sense of social justice. Many of them possess a splendid capacity for accom¬ plishment. It is my earnest contention that those of our faith who have achievwl success and economic freedom either in business or in the professions should devote more time to affairs of a public and humanttai'ian natnrc. Let us help make America groat. Let us participate more activct> in goiernmeiiur afT>nrs. Politics is not as rotten as simie people would have us believe. I sincerely regret that the wonl "politician" has acnniri-d a sinister meaning. Wc have many politi¬ cians in this country possesse<l of sterling qualities of heart and mind—men with ideals saturalcil with the finest type and brand of p>itriutism.
