When a man comes to me for a loan on his property, there
are three things I want to know. The first is about HIS CHAR-
ACTER; has he a reputation for integrity, business ability, and a
strict sense of responsibility? Then I want to know the VALUE
OF HIS PROPERTY, of course. That is the security behind the
loan. Third, and very important, I want to know how well HIS
PROPERTY IS PROTECTED.
"Fire insurance of course, is essential. There are mighty few
property owners without it. But there are other ways in which
a building may be destroyed — dangers of loss which should be
guarded against by means of insurance. For instance, it might
be blown down by a windstorm, or wrecked by an explosion. It
might stand in the path of a mob on mischief bent. If a man is
insured against loss froM these sources, it is a pretty good indi-
cation that he is disposed to take no chances, and that is always
a good recommendation for credit.
"When I find a man who has an UNQUESTIONABLE CHAR-
ACTER and VALUABLE PROPERTY which is COMPLETELY
PROTECTED FROM LOSS, I know he is good for a loan.

The president of the United Syna-
.
gogue of America, Dr. Elias L. Solo-
mon, has issued the following special,
message: "We are living in stirring
times. The ratification of the British
mandate over l'alestine which opens!
up for the Jewish people the ancient'
Homeland, and offords aremendous
possibilities for Israel's growth,
brings nearer the realization of sacred
hopes so long cherished. This great
opportunity fu rebuilding l'alestine
must be taken advantage of by all
sections of Jewry. "If I am not for
myself, who will be for me, and if not ,
now, when?" No time should he lost
and no sacrifice spared to prove that
we are cognizant of our duty and op-
portunity and eager to acquit our-
selves worthily, as becomes a great
historic people like ours."
Special interest attaches to a letter
dated Jerusalem addressed by Rev.
Dr. Alexander Lyons of Eighth ave-
nue Temple, Brooklyn, to Emanuel
Neumann, the secretary of the Karen
Ilayesod in America. The letter is
full of enthusiasm for the Jewish pio-
neers and the Jewsih colonies. Dr.
Lyons writes: "I believe that you will
welcome a word of my impressions of

three weeks, I leave in a few days for

The latter touched me profoundly for
their fine spirit of idealistic enthus-

promise of inestimable good. My re-

return I shall gladly co-operate, con -
