Norton, secretary of the Detroit Community Union, at the weekly Forum luncheon of the It'nai (frith Club, Tuesday noon, December 16, at the clubrooms, 25 Broadway. Mr. Norton painted a passing pic- ture of the structure of American so- ciety by describing it in terms of a race; stating that in this country we stand upon an individualistic philoso- phy believing in the ascension of the opportunity of the individual to make of himself what he can in the t ace of life. "We are all running in this race," Islr. Norton declared. "We start at the beginning to attain a definite goal. And the minimum goal in this race is the one of self-support and self-re-. spect. The goals of comfort, luxury, honor follow. "It is the glory of America that any man born in this country may aspire to he president, a judge of the 'Supreme Court, a genius in literature, a great teacher, a rabbi. All goals 'lie before ds, and it is the wonder of America that though a man start at the bottom, he may attain the heights CONTINUING THE SALE OF "LILY" 451b.

"But the pace is tremendously swift, We are so organized that one out of every 10 of the runners fails to attain even the minimum goal of self-support and arc forced to depend . upon organized philanthropy of one kind or another. Over 100,000 people in Detroit fail in the course of a year to retain their speed in the race." The failures, Mr. Norton pointed out, were due to inequality of oppor- tunity, as contrasted between the child who is born to inherit millions and another who comes as an added burden to poverty-stricken parents— to physical endowments that gift one with a rich inheritance of energy and brilliancy affil strength and handicap another fruit birth with weak men- tality, lack of energy, stunted physi- cal growth—to the scourges that take their deadly toll, to diversities and misfortunes. The needs of these laggers in the race of life gave rise, Mr. Norton ex- plained, to the formation of a multi- tude of charitable societies, sixty in number, in this city alone. Because cif lack of organization, too much sentiment and too little business tac- tics, these institutions were Incurring great overhead expense, tremendous duplication of effort made stock of in too many instances by the un- scrupulous, confining the giving to a narrow circle, all resulting in gross inefficiency and wasted energy.

The Detroit Community Union, composed of all the principal char- itable organizations of Detroit, the speaker related. was organized to eliminate the ills that weakened the institutions of mercy, eradicating all duplication, carrying the story of all agencies back of the lines, cutting down the operating expense to the lowest possible minimum, operating on a highly efficient basis and thus carrying on its humanitarian work in the most telling and constructive manner. "If one man in every ten fails," Mr. Norton declared, "and continues to fail, then the Revolutionist has some ground of complaint. It is our sol- emn obligation to take care of that 10(1,000, to see that as far as possible. they may be made self-supporting and self-respecting, to eradicate the social ilk, to rebuild the social structure so that the unfortunate conditions may not be repeated in the next genera- tion. "If the pace ill the race of life is too fast, it must he slackened. If not, we must provide relief stations on the way and ambulances to aid those who impeded by some unfor- tunate handicap, cannot keep us. The Community Union acts as agent a Its problems t t hese relief stations. are the problems of every Americ an citizen who must get behind the load and see that the job is done!' , i PALESTINE JEWS START A COMMERCIAL COLLEGE' E have decided to ex- tend the time limit on this sale and give the public a bigger op- portunity of buying these L, • splendid "Lily" mattresses at this greatly reduced price.

Hence the Jaffa Commercial Association recently convened a spe- cial meeting for the purpose of im- proving this • unsatisfactory state of affairs, so that when an official is wanted for sonic bank or an office he might be found in the country instead of being imported from abroad. Many local merchants' sons arc incapable of continuing their fathers' work as they have had no commercial training. Sonic are attending the missionaries' schools, which are better adapted to the needs of the population.
