the twenty-eighth annual Purim Ball
to be held by the Knights of Pythias,

greatest social event in the history of
this city.
The entertainment includes Schuck's
augmented dance orchestra with spe-
cially arranged features for dance

local singer Samuel Mandell, who has
taken Detroit by storm recently by
his very able rendition of the popular
patriotic song hits; Emmons and Col-

add to the entertainment features with
an exhibition drill.
Tickets are being sold at an un-
precedented rate and a monster

"No one expects or ever thought
that all the Jews would go back to
l'alestine. We don't expect that to
happen. What we wish to restore is
a nucleus of that Jewish people, to re-
store them on their own soil, and to
give them an opportunity, in free-
dom, to develop as a people. People
like Mr. Schiff—I will cite no other

for them to decide whether it is at

the past. No particular law occurs
