84,000,000 Already Raised in War Relief

Marion M. Travis of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Pledges 10 Per Cent of
Sum Raised in Seven States.

The Ten Million Dollar Fund for
the Relief of the Jewish \Var Suffer-
ers is progressing rapidly, according
to the statement issued this week by
Jacob Billikoff, executive director of
the American Jewish Relief Commit-
tee, who announced an offer from Ma-
rion M. Travis, of Tulsa, Okla., to
give 10 per cent of all funds raised
for this cause in seven states, namely:
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
This is in addition to a list of fifty or
sixty men and women who have fol-
lowed Mr.- Rosenwald's example with
an offer to give 10 per cent of the
amount raised in their respective cities
or states.
This announcement, coupled with
the recent declaration of Mr. Nathan
Straus, that he is to sell his city
home, valued at several hundred thou-
sand dollars, the proceeds to go to the
•Jewish \Var Sufferers, and the • re-
poits from many cities ' throughout

the country where meetings have
been held, addressed by prominent
speakers, indicate that the $10,000,-
000 campaign is progressing more rap-
idly even than had been anticipated.
Mr. Billikoff announces that in the
nation more than $4,000,000 has al-
ready been contributed since the be-
ginning of the 1917 campaign, so that
nearly half of the sum fixed upon to
be raised, has been secured. The com-
mittee is in direct and constant com-
munication with more than fifteen
hundred communities, all told, in the
United States.
The next big step is to be taken in
the late • summer, when an intensive
campaign to secure $4,000,000 in
Greater New York is to be under-
taken. This vast sum has been fixed
$10,000,000, based upon its large and
prosperotis Jewish population, the
largest in the nation. Approximately
$1,000,000. of this sum has been al-
ready raised.

Flint, Mich.—The initiation meeting
of the independent Order of B'nai
B'rith in Columbian Circle Hall last
week was considered by those in
charge an unqualified success. Fully,
sixty members of the Flint I. 0. B. B.
order, a Jewish charitable organiza-
tion, witnessed the initiation work,
which was conferred by the Bay City
+degree team upon sixteen local can-
didates. Edward Lichtig, of Bay
City, .who organized the Flint lodge
eight years ago, presided.
Following the degree work or the
:ceremonial session' a luncheon was
served. The Jewish Ladies' Aid, which
also held its regular monthly meeting
last night in another hall, surprised
the I. 0. B. B. gathering by visiting
them in a body later in the evening.
Among the speakers were Edward
Lichtig, of Bay City, Otto Klemperer
and S. S. Pcarlstine.

The closing prayer was made by
Rabbi Moses Fisher,, who expressed
the hope that the temple that was to
be erected be another force that.would
perpetuate Judaism as one of the links
in the chain of temples built since
the sanctuary of Moses and the Tem-
ple of Solomon.

To My Customers---Saturday

Saturday, every customer whose
purchase (cash or charge) amounts to
$5 will be given a Roger's $2 eight-
inch CAKE FORK of the new "Ash-
land" pattern, as shown in cut.
I'm celebrating the 17th Anniver-
sary of this business, grown to be the
largest of its kind in Detroit, east of
Woodward.
The original Moe Ehrlich plan
"Pay as you can," combined with my
low prices,—due to light expenses
and ability as a wholesaler to buy di-
rect from manufacturers and import-
ers at jobber's discount rates, a privi-

lege not open to exclusive retailers—

enables me to cut downtown prices 25
to 50 per cent.
That's why this store now sells more
Diamonds, Gold Watches and Silver-
ware to mechanics and business men
than any other three jewelry stores in
the city.
It's this wonderful success that per-
mits me to submit a selection in each
of these lines that only one or two
"Avenue" dealers can duplicate.
Charge Accounts solicited—no "red
tape."
