Mr. Liss is a type of the young
Jewish immigrant who has succeeded
despite 'tremendous odds. He came
to America from Russia before the
war, alone and penniless. His first
employment was peddling buttons
and thread from house to house in
New York. Later he worked in a
tailor shop and attended the York
high school. He entered a prize es-
say contest in the school and was

The Human Equation in
Good Axle Building

It takes 3633 separate operations to make a Timken-
Detroit. Rear Axle for pleasure cars-588 operations to
make a front axle for pleasure cars.
A majority of these operations require accuracy within
half a thousandth part of an inch.
The great Timken-Detroit plant is equipped with the
latest automatic machinery and the most accurate jigs,
tools, gauges and measuring instruments. As far as can be
done' the possibility of human error is eliminated in the
making of the parts. That is Timken policy.
But it never will be possible to entirely, or even really
very largely, eliminate the human equation from the manu-
facture of a complex article such as the rear axle of an auto-
mobile. The wonderfully exact , machines must he set by
men. The parts must be inspected after each operation, by
men. The completely assembled axle must be tested by
$1 ,
men.
It all comes right down to the man-stuff of the organi-
zation.
It is demonstrated fact, not mere theory, that there is a
limit to the number of new men who can be "absorbed"
into the Timken-Detroit Organization. Men who can get
the Timken Spirit.
And it is demonstrated fact that the Spirit is even more
necessary to the production of Quality than are machinery,
tools, material and capital.

George F. Monoghan, Esq. His ora-
tion was entitled "Out of the Mael-
strom." Mortimor J. Liss won the

conin was given honorable mention.

dent, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos-
eph Wetsman, of Watson street, was
the only girl contestant. She made
a very favorable impression on the
subject "Equality of Opportunity."

freshmen students which makes their
performance the more remarkable.
The judges were Dr. C. E. Chadsey,

PHILOMATHIC DEBATES MO-
MENTOUS QUESTION.

At last meeting of the Philomathic
Debating club, the feature of the
evening was an enthusiastic and well-
prepared discussion on the question,
"Selective Conscription vs. Voluntary
Service." In the debate proper, B.
Appelbaum and Paul Goldstein ar-
gued for the affirmative of the bill,
while the negative was unheld by A.
Rogvoy and Herman Agushavitz.
Paul Goldstein was adjudged the best
sneaker of the evening by the critic.
The members of the organization fur-
tli•r discussed the matter under gen-•
oral discussion. Among the speakers
of the evening were S. Shetzer and
I osenh Lihurt, who took different
stands on the question, and argued
the matter from all viewpoints. Their
s'eeches in their respective phases
bowed careful preparation, and they
h-ld their audience spellbound by
i•eir passionate oratory, so earnestly
did they feel on the subject. The
negative received the decision of . the
organization by an overwhelming
vote. The organization was honored
by the announcement that Charles
Rubiner, an honorary member, re-
ceived the diamond medal at the an-
nual oratorical contest at the Detroit
College of Law. This is not the first
time that Mr. Rubiner has distin-
guished himself and brought honor
to the Philomathic. Herman Agusha-
vitz, also an honorary member, at-
tended the last meeting and partook
in the discussion of the program. The
meetings of the Philomathic are held
every Sunday evening at the Talmud
Torah Institute, 47 Division street.
