heaping abuse upon the non-separat-
ist, upon the man who has no desire
to be different from other human be-

of the great blessings of life, and that
among some Jews there is altogether
too much inbreeding of ideas and sen-

The NEW HAYNES SEDAN

YOUR PRIDE IN ITS BEAUTY WILL BE HEIGHTENED BY

THE SATISFACTION ITS MECHANICAL EXCELLENCE GIVES

BEAUTY is indispensable in a motor car, likewise mechanical
excellence. Both are essential to complete satisfafion. The new
Haynes sedan ranks eminently foremost in appearance; and it is
mechanically mature, the product of almost twenty-five years'
experience in automobile building.

The lines are modem, the hood 'broad-chested, the doors
wide opening and staggered. The beautifully appointed interior
—French pleated upholstery, dome light, smoking and vanity
cases, silk curtains, etc.—combines comfort with luxury through
unusual roominess. The sedan seats seven.

Concerts to be Conducted by Ossip

Gabrilowitsch.—Efrem Zimbalist

is Violin-Soloist.

The interest that has toren aroused by
the re-organization of the Detroit Sym-
phony Orchestra indicates that a record
audience will attend the concert at the
Detroit Armory Friday and Saturday
evenings. At these concerts, Ossip Ga-
brilowitsch will make his debut as con-
ductor. He has been tensity engaged in
rehearsing with the orchestra the past
week and expresses great enthusiasm
with the proficiency and artistry the
men have displayed.
Conductor Gabrilowitsch states that
the disbandment of the Detroit Sym-
phony would be a reflection on the intel-
ligent people of Detroit, as there is no
excuse for not supporting such a splen-
did municipal enterprise. He cited many
cities in Europe of populations less than
half that of Detroit that are supporting
symphony orchestras.
"Art is not a luxury, it is a neces-
sity," he said, "and it is time people ,
began to realize it. The two most potent
agencies in maintaining the courage of
the people in these war times arc re-;
ligion and music."
Mr. Gabrilowitsch, who is a native of
Russia, is well known in musical circles
as a pianist. He has played and con
