for More Care on Streets

Self preservation is the first law of
man; and if self preservation is the
first law of man, then, certainly, the
second law of man should be the
preservation of his fellowman. If we
really feel that we want to preserve
each other in body, we must exercise
a greater degree of care in all our
activities.
Detroit has no reason to be proud
of its accident records. Other cities,
with greater congestion and more mo-
tor cars have less accidents.
It is only necessary, it seems to
me, to bring this forcibly to the at-
tention of our citizenship to make
Shen riv,ylize what it means to use
greater caution and courtesy, II . a

Every time you see an
account of a street ac-
cident in a newspaper
—read it to your chil-
dren. It may save a life.
I
la got part of our people were able to
go through the schools and hospitals
for crippled children and see some of
the terrible results of accidents and
what it really means to some of thele
children who are injured, and what it
means to the parents who are nursing
these children through their injuries,
I am sure our accidents would dim-
inish.
If our citizens will just think of
these things occasionally, and use
some common courtesy, we can—and
we must—reduce the accident rate in
the city; otherwise Detroit will get a
reputation worse than it has today.

dustrial concerns whose stocks arc

POLISH JEWISH CITY
COUNCIL DENIES POGROM
New York.—Emphatic denial that
there have been any anti-Semitic out-
breaks in the city of Pulawy, Rus-
sian Poland, was contained in an affi-
davit signed by the rabbi, members
of the Jewish City Council and two
Jewish members of parliament. made
public here today.
The affidavit, authenticated by the
municipal seal and the signature of
the burgomaster. was sent to Jean
de Strelecki, of this city, by his fa-
ther, a former captain in the Polish
army, who was captured and held
prisoner by the flolsheviki. It said:
"We, the undersigned representa-
tives of all Jewish factions, meet
voluntarily in the city hall of this
city. We protest most emphatically
against false statements circulating
in the United States of any pogroms
in our city or to our knowledge in
Poland. In Pulawy, there have been
no outrages against the Jewish pop-
ulation and between the Polish and
Jewish inhabitants exists a state of
perfect harmony."

ton M. Alexander, who served as
chairman of the meeting, declared
that the ancient adage, "I.et the
Buyer Beware," had given place to
a newer one, "Let the Seller Play
Fair."
"It is one of the gratifying devel-
opments of modern business," said
Mr. Alexander, that a new moral
code has come into commerce. The
movement for better business and
honest advertising have not resulted
trout outside pressure, but from the
realization of business men, generally
that an honest policy is always the
best one."
Mr. Boyd, in tracing the history of
the Better Business Bureau, told of
how a few years ago, a handful of
men, members of the Adcraft club,
headed by David A. Brown, formed
a voluntary Vigilance committee,
which took it upon itself to examine
the newspapers for dishonest adver-
tising meant to deceive a gullible
public. Their work gained interst
and approval from different sections
of the country where similar move-
ments were started. The Detroit
organization grew in size and power
until today it has a staff of six regu-
lar workers, divided into as many
distinct departments, whose duty it
is to examine carefully all advertis-
ing matter, both national and local,
for frauds and misrepresentations.
The Business Code, adopted by the
Bureau. setting down certain rules
and regulations, was printed on cards
and distributed to all business men.
An infringement of the Code brings
a member of the Bureau to the
offender. Repeated infringements of
the Code, have led in a few instances,
to the Court, though ordinarily, Mr.
Boyd declared, the merchant readily
acquiesces to the regulations. The
newspapers have co-operated in
every possible way, according to the
speaker, and have gone so far as to
refuse to accept advertising copy
disapproved by the Business Bureau.
"The work of the Better Business
Bureau cannot be too highly praised,"
Rabbi Krass declared. "It has done
much to clean our newspapers of
lying advertisement that but react
eventually on the advertiser himself.
An advertisement need not be dis-
honest, only attractive, to catch the
reader's eye."
Mr. Wm. E. Norton, Secretary of
the Detroit Patriotic Fund, will be
the speaker at the next Forum
luncheon, Tuesday noon, December

12:15. Ladies are cordially invited.
The German Government has an-
nounced that, in view of the precari-
ous position of the Jews in Poland
and the frequent anti-Jewish excesses
practiced there. it will not insist on
the transportation of Polish Jews to
their homes.
