9 THE JEWISH CHRONICLE CONSTRUCTION REVIEW AUTOMATIC TYPEWRITER SCORES HIT Hoovan Automatic Typewriter Is Subject to Much Favor- able Comment. Automatic machinery is saving the day for the manufacturer. In the first place it is much faster than other devices and in the sec- ond it cuts down the pay-roll, one Mall often doing the work of half a dozen. However, this is no hard- ship on the machinists and others, for there are more places open in Detroit than there are men to fill them. Some strides have been made in providing automatics for office use, but none of the have accomplished as much as the Hoovan Automatic Typewriter. This electrically op- erated machine in the hands of a clever operator will do the work of fi ve typists. The typewriter is one of the known standards. The roll, on which has been prepared the letter, is placed hack and under the ma- chine in the desk. The operator puts a sheet of letterhead in the machine in the usual way, dates and addresses it, then touches a but- ton and the machine fairly hums at a rate of about 100 words a minute. There is a distinct advantage for trade letters, because 'it is actual typewriting, so that to all appear- ances the letters are individual. The roll itself is made on another appliance which goes \vith the out- fit, this work merely - being that of typing as far as the keyboard is concerned. There is no trick in the operation of the machine, which many prominent manufacturers and merchants in Detroit and elsewhere have found to be just the thing they have wanted. The Hoovan Automatic Type- writer is being shown at 1207 Kresge building and representa- tives of many industries are exam- ining it. B'NAI B'RITH TO RAISE A MILLION DOLLARS Will Be Used in Establishing Jewish Farm Colonies in South. I f'nfti New Orleans. — Local II'rith lodges are expecting to aid in the campaign to raise a fund of $1,000,000 to establish Jewish farm colonies in the Seventh Dis- trict of the Order. The decision to start raising the fund was made at a meeting of the Agricultural Com- mittee of the Seventh District, in Waco, Tex. Eight southern states comprise the district. "Everything done in the matter between now and the 1917 conven - tion of the Order in Chattanooga must necessarily be of a prelimi- nary nature," said :\lyron M.

'.'The farm colony plan is the newest idea in farming. If it is worked out successfully the farm- ers, instead of being separated from one another by many lonely miles, IllaV live in one community and have their farms within easy driv- ing distance. The communities will furnish the farmers' families the much needed social life and so de- stroy the cause for the wholesale desertion of farming which is an alarming factor in American life. The 11'nai Icrith colony would, of course, be a Jewish community. If funds can be raised, more than one colony will be formed. The loca- tion will be left to the District."
