does the society carry out its mani-

of its income to meet the tremendous
expenditures which it undoubtedly
makes in such an international under-
taking for Jewish wanderers of all
countries? Nobody stops to ask this
question, and it seems that nobody is
worried over such "trifle," People
know that there esists a Hebrew Shel- •
tering any Immigrant Aid Society of
.hinerica, a people's institution which
has many duties and responsibilities,
a society, of which it is demanded that
it solve, with the greatest punctuality
and thoroughness, the most intricate
and entangled questions of immigra•
tion and emigration, but people seem
to be but little interested to find out
what means the society has for this
work, whether the Jews of America
give it suflicient support to enable it
to meet the great needs of the wan-
derers; very few care to find out how
large its membership is and what its
increase has been during the last fen
months.
Other Side of the Medal

Ask yourself if you have ever seen smarter
or more beautiful cars than the Hupmobile
Sedan and Coupe.

They are, of course, the center of admira-
tion wherever they go.

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

In my opinion this side ifi 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 Mr. Albert Rosenblatt,
Chairman of the hlembership and
Building Fund Committees of the So-
ciety and asked for an interview.

\\•ien I cattle to the office of the
Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant
Aid Society of America, at 210 East •
Broadway, I stopped for a while and
watched the people who stood outside,
in the hallway and in the offices.
These were American Jews who came
for information regarding bringing
over relative.; to fill out affidavits, to
receive their relatives. 'Ehe immi-
grants Were in their dormitories on

the upper door., on the porch and in
the back s:tril. Some of them sat in
the Synagogue is 11 it'll also serves is an
and library on account of
lack of space, and were writing let-
ters— midst probably their first impres-
sion of America, to their relatives
across the sea who ate so anxious to
hear fro" , thrill.
"Mr. Rosenblatt," I said. after liar
ing been introduced to him, "the If n
i•lo reading public is acquainted n tIn
the folk icy of the Ilebrew Sheltering
and Immigrant Aid Society of Amer-
iva, but I think it is also entitled to
know how your society is coati!, II to

how large is its membership, whether
its number has grown in K011,01101

WILL AGAIN BE LAND
FLOWING WITH HONEY

LONDON.—Addressing a meeting
of 5,000 Jews, Sir Alfred Mond spoke
in enthusiastic tennis 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, She
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
Nlond introduced a resolution ex-
pressing fullest confidence in the
present leaders of the Zionist World
movement. The resolution seas sec-
onded by Rev. Dr. Daiehes, 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
llouse of Cod.
Professor Weizmann, in the course
of his address, said that fault may
he found with the terms of the Man-
date, that fault might be 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 mica
the opportunity of the moment. Ile
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

"Do you mean to tell Me a special
effort is necessary to gain new mem-
bers for your society:" I asked with
astonishment. It seems to Me, every
Jew ought to realize the importance
of yo ur really e011StrtletiVe Work and
the help you render Jewish war and
pogrom victims by facilitating for
them rejoining their relatives in this
country. \Vhy, 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 priv-
ileges," Mr. Rosenblatt smiled in re-
ply, "lint I believe that the help they
give us would be much greater if not
for the impression that we have suf•
ficient funds without their assistance.
It does not occur to them Hutt an or-
ganization like ours could be short of
members or funds. Wc ought to en-
lighten them un this subject, but we
arc too busy With our problems and
have not a sufficient number of work-
ers, people prominent in social affairs,
who would share the burden with us.
One active director of our society is
often called upon to do .work of a

Adventures inContentment

Though a man be king and possess the
wealth of an empire, he may lack that great-

est of possessions—contentment.
Though you own a car that is the em-
bodiment of elegance and luxury, but which
lacks the consistent reliability of the Elcar--
you lose the greatest joy a motor-car Call

give --contentment.

Contentment comes of having a car of
dependable performance: a car that has good
health, even temperament, ;ill eagerness to
serve, and the ability to serve competently.
Ilefore you choose your car, study the
faces in cars that pass. Look for contented
fares--faces that register keen enjoyment-
faces that are unshadowed by the thought of
mortgaged homes and expenses out of keep-
ing with the flintily budget. •
For a truly happy face—look at the
motorist at the wheel of of an Elcar, the ear
that meets every need of the family and
brings the joys of the great outdors as near
to you as your garage.
