Ask yourself if you have ever seen smarter

Sedan and Coupe.
They are, of course, the center of admira-

We feel that this is no more than their due,
for they combine with the well-known Hop-
mobile virtues a smartness and good style
that impart rare distinction.

In my opinion this side of the medal
is just as interesting and important
for the Jewish masses as the work
which the society does. \Vater can-
not rise above its own level. After
all, the activity of the society and its
influence, which are of the greatest
importance for its past and future suc-
cess, is limited by the means at its
disposal, by its membership, and sim-
ilar conditions.
In order to be able to present to the
readers a clear idea of the situation.
I applied to \I r. Albert Rosenblatt,
Chairman of the Membership and
Building Fond Committees of the So-
ciety and asked for au interview.
\\*hen I came to the office of the
Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society of America, at 229 East
Broadway, I stopped for a while and
watched the people who stood outside,
in the hallway and in the offices.

for information regarding bringing

MOND SAYS PALESTINE
WILL AGAIN BE LAND
FLOWING WITH HONEY
LONDON.—Addressing a meeting
of 5,000 Jews, Sir Alfred Mond spoke
in enthusiastic terms of the future
of Palestine, declaring it would
again become "a land of milk and
honey." Describing the future pros-
pects he foresaw for the country, Sir
Alfred advised English Jews them-
selves to go there and take advan-
tage of the opportunities afforded,
opportunities, he said, of which oth-
ers might take: advantage if the Jews
will not come forward. At the con-
clusion of his address, Sir Alfred
Mond introduced a resolution ex-
pressing fullest confidence in the
present leaders of the Zionist World
movement. The resolution was sec-
onded by Rev. Dr. [Niches, who re-
ferred to that particular part of the
mandate which invited all Jews to
participate in the rebuilding of Zion
and compared it to that passage in
Ezra in which he says that each shall
contribute to the building of the
House of Cod.
Professor Weizmann, in the course
of his address, said that fault may
he found with the terms of the matt-
date, that fault might he found with
present conditions in Palestine, but
that was not the question now. The
question now was to go ahead with
the work at hand and not to miss
the opportunity of the moment. He
concluded by appealing to Zionists
the world over not to spoil this great
event in Jewish history through any
differences or criticisms. Sir Waley
Cohen, the noted Jewish financier,
presided at the meeting.

Special Efforts Necessary
“1/41 v1011 Illeall to tell Me a special
effort is necessary to gain 11eW mem-
bers for your society?" I asked with
astoni•lonent. ''It seems to line, every
Jew 011011 10 realize the importance
of your really constructive work and
the help you render Jewish war and
pogrom victims by facilitating fur
them rejoining their relatives in this
country. Why, every Jew ought to
feel it a special privilege to be a mem-
ber of your society and to do his share
to help in its work."
"Jews are not fond of such prie-
lieges." 'Mr. Rosenblatt smiled in re-
ply, "but I believe that the help they
give us would be 1111101 greater if not
for the impression that we have suf-
ficient funds without their assistance.
It does not occur to them that an or-
ganization like ours could be short of
members or funds. Vu' ought to en-
lighten them on this subject, but we
are too busy with our problems and
have not a sufficient number of work-
ers, people prominent in social ,ffairs,
who would share the burden with os.
One active director of our society is
often called upon to do work of a
few committees, and under such con
ditions not much can be accomplished.
We therefore devote our energy to

the importance of our moving to the
new home as soon as possible.
" \Ve are planning to begin a cam-
paign for new members in the very
near flame. The work in Europe, and
the raising of funds have been more.
or less systematized. Mr. Ifarry
Fischel, Treasurer and Chairman of
the Building Committee, reports that
I building will soon be ready for
cupancy. Owing to the efforts of
our President, Mr. John L. ItertISteill
and Mr. Leon Kamaiky, member of
our European COI111111,1“11 who lia•
recently returned front EltrOpt., our
European activity will be reorganized
on a larger scope and will be extended
to all the port cities and important
emigration centers. This will give us
the possibility to catch our breath and
to launch a Catelpaigll for an increased
membership.
"It is our aim to have a total of
200,000 members by the time our next
1111:11 meeting is called. ,\s we have
at present a membership of 110,000. it
wails that we are looking for 90,000
lore Jews who wish to join us. \Ve
believe this should not be difficult to
accomplish.
"Don't you think thdt through a
net campaign for funds you will be
able to obtain more money than
through a campaign for 00,000 new
members?" I asked. "A membership
campaign, it seems to me, involves
too many difficulties and is too slow
a process, particularly at a time when
the increased activity of the society
calls for tremendous expenditures."
"Money—But Money is Not All."

"You are quite right in code asser

Contentment conies of having a ear of

Before you choose your ear, study the
faces in cars that pass. Look for contented
faces--faces that register keen enjoyment- -
faces that are unshadowed by the thought of
mortgaged homes and expenses out of keep-
ing with the family budget.
For it truly happy face—look at the
