MOVE TO DISSOLVE
SEJM BECAUSE OF
MINORITY VICTORY
WA RS A W.—(J. C. 11.)—The unex-
pected and extraordinary victory scor-
ed by the Minority Nationalities' tick-
et in the elections to the Polish Diet
has caused a movement among the de-
feated parties to bring about the
early dissolution of the new Sejm.
There is a tendency to introduce a
new election ordinance preventing the
Seim from functioning. As this is
dependent upon the concurrence of the
Senate, it is extremely likely this plan
will miscarry.
Interest in the senatorial election
on Sunday was by far less than that
shown in the election of Deputies Sun-
day a week before. The Jewish elec-
tors who had turned out in such great
numbers on November 5, were not
nearly so keen over the senatorial elec-
tions. The result is that only one Jew-
ish Senator was elected, the contes-
tants for this place being engineer
Koerner, a town councilman, and Dr.
Josiah Then. The latter will probably
be declared elected.
Many of the smaller Polish parties,
with the lesson of the Sejni elections
in mind, withdrew their candidates
for senate and rushed with the more
powerful parties. The smaller min-
ority groups also withdrew their can-
didates in favor of the Minority Na-
tionalities Ticket.
Dissatisfaction over the result of
the Sejni elections is becoming articu-
late in diversified circles. The Bund-
ists of Warsaw are demanding a new
election in the Warsaw district, where
a majority of those elected were the
candidiates on•the minorities ticket.

portant than educating the rising gen-
eration. The work of education goes
to the heart of the Jewish purpose.
Palestine can never become the Jewish
homeland unless we have there a gen-
eration that is educated in the national
spirit, and is able to speak the nation-
al language, Hebrew. The rising gen-
eration is the nucleus of the new pop-
ulation of Palestine, and it is one of
the first requirements that we give
them the right kind of education. The
money spent on this purpose will, of
course, bring no returns in the com-
mercial sense of the word, but it will
bring the highest returns in the na-
tional sense.

Today! Special Showing of Nash Carriole
A Notable Addition to the Nash Series
Here it is—the Nash Carriole for five. It's a late addition
to the smartly fashioned Nash group of enclosed types.
It will appeal to you immensely because it blends the
beautiful with the practical so perfectly.
In every feature and detail it reflects the newest advance-
ments in fine car design and craftsmanship at a reduced
price that only serves to emphasize its remarkable value.
Set a little lower and closer to the road, it unites dignity
with an admirable touch of sport model dash and spirit.
The beautiful and comfortably roomy body is of all-metal
construction similar to those that adorn America's costly
coupes and sedans.
The upholstery and luxurious interior trimmings are of
the finest grade, taupe-toned wool cloth.
And the front seats follow the parlor-car type with a
wide aisle between.
Headlamps are of the new barreled style, door handles
are silvered, all dash instruments are heavily nickeled,
the cowl has a new•type ventilator, all windows are
adjustable, and a heavy bar anchors the chassis side
members at the front so that the frame is held rigid
under stress or strain.
Only a limited number is allotted to us. So come in
immediately,
