CADILLAC COUPE (FIVE-PASSENGER) TYPE 61
One of the new enclosed car models
included in the Cadillac enclosed car
line, is the new Five-Passenger
Coupe, whose beautiful lines and all-
around utility excited a great deal of
interest at the New York Show. A
large number of deliveries have been
made since it was first introduced to
the public in September.
While the distinctive Cadillac char-
acteristics have been retained, the de-
feign of this new body style is strik-
ingly new and beautiful. The up-
holstery, of course, is in thorough
keeping with the usual Cadillac stand-
and and is extremely rich, refined and
comfortable.
Lowering of the center of gravity,
with no lessening of road clearance,
contributes to increased comfort in
the new Type 61 models. The new
Type 61 carburetor, thermostatically
controlled, provides greater p ewer

SAMUEL BLAMES DELAY
IN RATIFYING MANDATE
FOR PRESENT CONDITION
LON:'ON—(J. T. A.)--The Colonin'
office h. understood to be in IV7eillt
a commonication from Sir .lerbert
Samuel, High Commissioner for Pal-
estine, urging the Colonial Office to
.speed the ratification of the British
Mandate for Palestine.
The political position in Palestine
is unbearable, the High Commissioner
is believed to have said, as long as
the • Allied nations had not put the
stamp of approval on the Palestine
Mandate.
The question of the Palestine Man-
date may come up for discussion at
the meeting of the Council of the
League of Nations in Geneva, it is
learned, the previous decision not to
consider the mandate in tile absence
of a reply from the government of the
United States notwithstanding.
Dr. Chaim Weizman, president of
the World Zionist Organization, is
proceeding to Geneva that he may be
present should the Palestine Mandate
be considered.
During his first few visits they us-
ually engaged in conversation about
their graduation, diplomas, marks and
other school matters. But soon their
school talk had become exhausted and
after each •visit David felt more and
more that their school-day friendship
was rapidly wearing off. Whenever
lie brought up a Jewish subject in his
conversation, Fanny would interrupt
him with a sarcastic remark such as,
You and your Jews!" and would pro-
ceed to bore him with flippant narra-
tives about her good times and her
association with "lovely Christian
young men," and similar small talk.
one day she frankly told him that
she was surprised to hear him con-
stantly discuss Jewish matters. Yet,
in spite of her apathy to Jews and
nee becoming more indifferent to him
ewer}, day, he began to value her
friendship all the more. Indent, he
immune so :strongly attached to her
that he resolved to try and change
ner mntiments toward the Jewish
pe ails. But each time he tried to ex-
plain her something relating to Jews,
she would abruptly turn her back to
him, sit down at the piano and play
something.
"Very well, when I come here again
i will bring along a few of the made-
est Jewish compositions and you will
realize for yourself that they deserve
a place in eery true Jewish heart."
rinse words were spoken with so
much fervor and enthusiasm that they
went straight to Fanny's heart. After
oat hi had left Fanny repeated to her-
self several times the poignant wonis,
"They deserve a place in every true
Jewish heart."

Doughty to know the quality of car
demanded by the public and, Inciden-
tally, to discover the faults and frail-
ties of many other cars now on the
market.
With th's knowledge guiding him,
Mr. Doughty entered on the manu-
facture of a car he declared would in-

A few days later David called again
and brought along "Kol Nidres" "Eili
Eili" and "Ilatikvoh."
"Play this, Fanny, he said to her,
laying "Kol Nidrei" before her en the
piano. She played it over set oral
times and became enraptured with the
beauty of the music.
"Will you explain to me the mean-
ing of "Kol Nidrei,?" she asked him
eagerly.
Ile told her the history of the Jews
in Spain, of the Inquisition and of
which they suffered untold misery.
Ile also explained the origin of the
melody. "The tale of our woes," he
continued, "has been faithfully nar-
rated by this melody. Our unspeak-
able horrors and our innumerable
tears. There is also something else
to be heard in this melody. In tri-
umphant Vales it tells us of our pride
.n our rare and of our confidence and
of our trust in God. It is the Eter-
nal Melody."
She listened very attentively to his
•lquent interpretation of "Kol Ni-
drei" and she h•onme deeply wrapped
in thought.
"See how you like this one," he said
further, pointing to "Eili Eili." She
played this a few times and was again
+aimed by the pathos and richness
if the melody. Again she called for
an explanation of the text, anticipa-
ting the song to be a prayer.
"It is a a:ng of lament." He waxed
sethusiesm once again. "It expresses
be endless, age-long struggle of our
• tion. tee hardship and persesutinn
of millions of innocent souls. Every
tone in it denotes Redness, prayer.

IT'S A LIE
PHILOMATHIC CLUB
The much discussed prohibition
question was the subject for debate
at the meeting last Sunday evening.
K. Knoppow and S. I.iebovitz, op-
ponents of a dry United States, were
opposed by G. Applebaum and J. F.
Schulman, who argued for the righte-
ousness of the prohibition amend-
ment. The debate was so closely
contested throughout that when the
arguments pro and con had been ex-
hausted the affirmative team, com-
posed of Knoppow and Liebovitz,
found themselves victorious by the
scant margin of a single vote. S.
Liebovitz, who delivered a construc-
tive speech that was well balanced,
and displayed an ability to hold his
own during the rebuttal arguments,
was elected best speaker. Dan Bud-
nitzsky satisfactorily performed the
duties of a critic.
Samuel G. Rhodes, a Detroit attor-
ney and an alumnus of the Philo-
mathic, addressed the members and
was warmly received.
The important Philomathic public
affair, the Annual Oratorical Con-
test, will be held on the evening of
Feb. 9, at the Shaarey Zedek. The
contestants, in the persons of Dan
Budnitzky, Wilbur DeYoung, Charles
Ornstein, Morris Abramoff, Ben Safir
and I.ouis Carpel, are sparing no ef-
forts in their preparations for the
event.
Next Sunday's meeting will find A.
Pearlman and I. Berger clashing with
II. Borovitz and A. Weiswasser on
the question, "Resolved, That Labor
Disputes Be Settled by Industrial
Courts." The first two named will
support the affirmative, while the lat-
ter will advance the arguments for
the negative.
Louis Cohane will address the or-
ganization.

tically any attempt to wipe out com-
pletely the identity of the car.
Before each car leaves the factory,
its means of identification is record-
ed by a specially designed machine
which prints on a series of cards all
of the various ways of determining
the identity of a car. These cards
are filed in cabinets.
To take advantage of this bureau
a Buick owner, when he loses his car,
must report the loss to the nearest
Buick dealer and give the correct
model of the car, its frame and mo-
tor numbers, as well as his name and
address. The Buick dealer then im-
mediately gets in touch with the
branch manager or distributor under
whom lie is operating, who in turn
makes records of the car and advises
the lost car department at the Buick
factory, giving a brief summary of
the facts.
With the frame and motor num-
bers au a basis, the bureau is able
to refer to the identification cards
on file and to work out a means of
identifying the car when it is found.
Whenever a dealer reports a can
stolen in his territory, all other deal-
ers throughout the country are noti-
fied from the main offices, with in-
structions to be on a careful lookout
for the missing car.
Large numbers of Iluick cars are
recovered and identified through the
dfforts of this department every year.
DR. WEIZMANN GAINS
NON - ZIONIST HELP

BERLIN.—(J. T. A.)—Dr. Chaim
Weizmann conferred with a number
of influential Jewish leaders here, in
executive session. The Keren Ilaye-
sod is understood to have been one
Of the questions taken up at this con-
ference, Dr. Weizmann urging non-
Zionists to support the Palestine
Fund. A number of non-Zionists are
believed to have promised their co-
operation and Mr. Timentiorf, presi-
dent of the B'nai B'rith Grand Lodge,
announced his participation in the
Keren Ilayesod Committe for Ger-
many.
Previous to this conference, Dr.
Weizmann received a number of lead-
ing journalists, including Wolff and
Bernhardt, all of whom manifested
great interest and understanding of
the Zionist problem.
The German press on the whole has
displayed a favorable interest in Dr.
Weizmann's activities, with the ex-
ception of the Deutsche Tageblatt,
which published an ironic communi-
cation from Count Reventlow, who,
commenting on Dr. Weizmann's re-
ception by the president and the
chancellor, declares that the Zionist
leader came as a conqueror of Ger-
many, inasmuch as Zionists, being
friends of the Entente, share in the
responsibility for the collapse of
Germany.
LONDON.—(J. T. A.)—At least
two papers have thus far questioned
the authenticity of the story that
Leon Trotsky has been banned by the
Jewish community of Ekaterineslav,
his birthplace, at the request of the
Soviet leader's aged father, the Daily
Herald, socialist, giving a number of
reasons purporting to show that the
reported excommunication could not
have taken place under the circum-
stances described in the accounts, and
the Morning Post arguing that Jews
living in Soviet Russia are incapable
of the moral courage required for
such a drastic step.
Declaring that the name of the
elder Trotsky is not Moses, as report-
ed by the Sunday Express and sev-
eral of the Berlin morning papers, the
Daily Herald further asserts that the
Bolshevik leader's family does not re-
side at Ekaterineslav, that Jews do
not wear phylacteries on the Sabbath
and that Jewish custom forbids pro-
nouncing the anathema on the Sab-
bath. This paper goes on to allege
that all of Trotsky's family, including
the father, sympathize with the views
and actions of Leon Trotzky.
The Morning Post, which is dis-
tinctly unfriendly to Jews, devotes
a leader to the report, about the ex-
communication, saying that if the re-
port is true it is an indication that the
Soviet regime is tottering. The Morn-
ing Post doubts, however, if Jews
have the courage to do such a thing
and asks why, if it is possible to ban
