Drum Now • Reality.

"What would have been considered
a dream four or five years ago is
now a reality. Now we see the Jew-
ish youth reading the Bible in the
original Ilebrew and understanding
it. Our young are given an oppor-
tunity to learn the meaning of their
prayers when they attend the syna-
gogue. I appeal to you to help sup-
prot the Hebrew schools. Your re-
ward will be that we will have a more
intelligent Jewry, that we will have
Jewish young men and women who
will be proud to say that they are
members of the house of Israel."
Louis Duscoff, chairman of the
building committee of the United
Hebrew Schools of Detroit, then pre-
sented the key to the new building
to the president of the combined
schools, E. Rabinowitz. Mr. Rabino-
witz responded briefly by saying that
he looks upon the key not as a piece
of metal but as an emblem of the
Jewish heritage of the age. Ile, in
turn, presented the key to J. Fried-
berg, vice-president of the schools,
who also spoke briefly on the impor-
tance of the schools. The key was
then presented to Mrs. Z. Ehrlich,
on behalf of the ladies' Chevra Ka-
disha of the Shnarey Zedek, which
organization presented $1,000 to-
wards the new building. Mrs. Ehrlich
responded and returned the key to
the schools. The golden key was
then bought by Benjamin B. Bab-
cock for the sum of $1,225.

Heretofore furniture has been mostly of two
kinds—good furniture at high prices; poorly made
furniture at low prices.
Twenty years ago a group of men organized
the Detroit Furniture Shops with the ideal of pro-
ducing furniture which would compare with the
world's best examples of the furniture builders'
craft to sell at moderate prices.
Probably no other furniture building organiza-
tion has gone so far in achieving these ideals.
Here you will find some of the best designers
and furniture workers in the country, unhurried
in their work, putting the best they know into
every piece.
You will take unusual pleasure in owning fur-
niture produced in these shops. The exquisite
taste that is displayed in designing, in coloring and
in flnirh will delight you.
And this satisfaction will grow strong as its
years of troublelcsa service deomnstrate the fact
that it is as well made in 'the unseen parts as in
the seen.
We ask you to visit our shops and learn for
yourself that you can own really good furniture
at a price little if any more than you have been
accustomed to paying for the ordinary type. The
three pieces illustrated above are attractively priced
as follows:

SHUBERT-MICHIGAN

Melodrama and sentiment will reign
at the Shubert-Michigan next week,
when the Bonstelle Company offers
for the first time in Detroit the Clare
Kummer play, "The Mountain Man"
in which Sidney Blackmer scored in
New York City.
Miss Kummer possesses the happy

faculty of writing in a smooth and
easy vein and saying something with
each word. In "The Mountain Man"
she is said to have cleverly combined
the virile and dramatic with a smooth
sentimental and humorous vein. This
play has a vigorousness that appeals
to many and will afford Mr. Watson,
Miss Alexander and Mr. Dumbrille

David A. Brown, who spoke follow-
ing Rabbi Ilershman, told of the law
existing in Russia against teaching
Jewish religion to the young under
the age of 18. In spite of that, he
said, Jews meet in dug-outs, threat-
ened by rain and snow, and they of-
fer Jewish training to the young. Ile
declared that in Europe the Jews
make tremendous sacrifices and go
without food that the young may be
educated.
"There isn't one here who is hun-
gry today or who will be hungry to-
morrow, or who will suffer from cold
tonight," Mr. Brown said, "and you
are asked only for money. There
isn't a man who is poorer for what
he has given. I have the utmost con-
tempt for people who won't give."
In response to an appeal by Mr.
Brown, a large sum of money was
contributed by those attending to-
wards the support of the schools. The
contributions included one from Mr.
Brown himself for $1,000.
Rabbi J. L. Levin spoke of the im-
portance of the schools to the Jewish
people, of the new life given Judaism
and of the way in which they help
in the perpetuation of Jewish ideals.
Rabbi Levin indorsed the building of
more new schools and elicited much
applause from the audience when he
referred to Bernard Isaacs, superin-
tendent of the United Hebrew
Schools, who is responsible more than
any other individual for the advance-
ment of the present system of edu-
cation in the local schools.
Selections by the choir of the
schools were given under the leader-
ship of D. Skolnik. L. II. Miller of
Buffalo delivered an interesting ad-
dress in Yiddish. Refreshments were
served by the Women's League of
the United Ilebrew Schools.
Announcement was made that
among the cnotributions to the new
Talmud Torah was a Sefer Torah in
memory of the late Mr. and Mrs. Max
Schreiber and son, Sollie. The donors
were Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Schreiber,
Mr. and Mrs. George Feldman, Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Jacobson, Jack
Schreiber, Sam Schreiber and Alex
Schreiber.

Forest Cleaners and Dyers announced
a subscription of $1,000 for the next
school. Mrs. Brown also pledged $1,-
000 for the next school. •
Mr. Brown spoke briefly, declaring
that the very foundation of our relig-
ion is the school. Ile asked the aud-
ience, however, to keep in mind that
there are many in this community
who have gotten beyond the school,
that there are needs that must he fill-
ed for many grown up men and wo-
men and pointed out that there is a
need in Detroit for a Y. M. II. A.,
Y. W. H. A. and a Jewish hospital.
Mr. Simons, who was among the
speakers told of the history of the
schools, beginning with the founding
of the Talmud Torah on Division
street. He lauded the efforts of Ber-
nard Isaacs, superintendent of the
United Hebrew Schools of Detroit, in
uniting all elements for the cause of
Hebrew education. Mr. Simons told
of his recent visit in Palestine when,
in Haifa, he saw a group of boys
playing football, and the youngsters
abused each other in a perfect He-
brew. Ile pointed out that very few
who get to Palestine understand these
boys, and that it is the duty of all to
learn to speak and understand the
language.
Judge Keidan the introduced Nr.
Isaacs to the gathering, not as a
speaker, but merely to become ac-
quainted with the man who is to be
thanked more than any other for the
accomplishments here. The banquet-
ets rose en masse in appreciation of
the man and cheered him for his ef-
forts.
Among the speakers of the evening
was also Cantor l'iny Minkowsky, the
world famous synagogual singer, who
is also known as a scholar and a man
of great literary abilities. He declar-
ed that Judaism must combine the
mind and the heart. Ile disputed the
truth of the statement that has been
made that one must "be a Jew at
home and a man in the street," and
the reverse, but declared that both-be-
ing a Jew and a man at home as well
as in the street should be practiced.
He said the two greatest periods in
Jewish history were those of the
prophets and the Spanish period and
that the third great period is now at
hand, with the opportunity offered the
Jew in America. His wish for the De-
troit community woo that good Jews
and good men may be produced in the
new Hebrew school.
Rabbi Hirsh Manischewitz of Cin-
cinnati also spoke, saying that being
distant from here he can better appre-
ciate the great accomplishments of the
school. Ile announced a contribution
of $500 to the school from the Mania-
chewitz Bros. of Cincinnati.

employees who are found to be mem-
bers of the Ku Klux Klan will he dis-
missed from the city's service, Com-
missioner of Accounts David llirsh-
field announced. Mr. Hirschfield de-
clared that reports had reached. hint
that the Klan was making a cam-
paign to enlist city employees, and
that he would begin an immediate in-
vestigation with a view of "weeding
out" all employees in city departments
who had awcrn allegiance to the In-
visible Empire.
Mr. Hirshfield's announcement was
made in the absence of Mayor llylan,
but no doubt was expressed that he
spoke with the authority of the May-
or, as the campaign against the Klan
in this city is due largely to his initia-
tive.
East Side Post 868 of the American
Legion adopted resolutions condemn-
ing the Klan as "100 per cent un-Am-
erican." The resolutions are in part
as follows:
"Whereas this post being composed
of Jews, Catholics and Protestants
of at least fourteen nationalities, true
Americans all, who have been tried
in the fires of war, do uphold the
stand taken by our mayor and hon-
orable board of aldermen, being will-
ing to again bear arms for the pro-
tection of our sacred liberties, we,
therefore, do
"Resolved, that we, in word and
deed, pledge ourselves to combat this
organization, which is 100 per cent
un-American, in that they have never
known the enlightening and beneficent
power of American tolerance."
Similar resolutions were adopted by
Colonel Harry Cutler Post No. 3, Ile-
brew veterans of the Wars of the Re-
public.

Recitation by School Pupil.

The feature of the evening was the
Hebrew recitation given by little Rose
Duchin, student at the Talmud Torah
on Westminster and Delmar avenue.
Little Rose gave proof of how the He-
brew language is being mastered in
the local schools. She proved herself
proficient in the Hebrew tongue and
in general presented the recitation
most beautifully. There were dozens
upon dozens of fathers and mothers
who were envious for their children
when they heard Rose Duchin.
On Thursday evening, a very fine
Ilebrew play was presented for adults
and on Sunday afternoon, plays will
be staged for the youngsters, at which
time the building will be opened to the
future students of the institution. A
dance was given Tuesday evening by
the Womens League of the United Ile-
brew Schools, the beautiful hall being
literally packed with the more than
1,000 who came to c lebrate its open-
ing.
The success of the building's com-
pletion is due to the officers of the
schools, E. Rabinowitz, president, and
J. Friedberg, vice-president, who, with
the active building committee, worked
incessantly and sacrificingly to the
end that the new Hebrew school's
doors may be opened at this time.
Much credit is given to Louis Granet
chairman of the building committee,
David Robinson, a pillar of the build-
ing committee and their assistants,
L. Granet, A. Klein and Max Jacobs.
H. Goldberg, secretray of the schools,
is also receiving praise for his efforts
for Hebrew education activities, as is
also M. B. Cohen, who has always re-
sponded whenever called upon for a.
particular job. R. Schomberger, sup-
ervised the work on the building.
Although no official announcement
has yet been issued of the opening of
class for adults, dozens of young men
and women have already applied for
an opportunity to study the llebrew
language. The teachers in the local
schools declared their willingness to
give an additional few hours a week
to the work, and, ask that applicants
send their names in at once.
The entire week's ceremonies on the
occasion of the opening of the new
school and will be completed with the
appearanc here of Cantor Piny Min-
kowsky at services at hte new center
on Friday evening and Saturday
morning at at services and a concert
on Sunday evening.

The banquet in celebration of the
school's opening was perhaps the most
joyous gathering of its kind held in
years. More than 600 men and wo-
men patiently sat through a program
that lasted, including the dinner per-
iod, close to five hours, and many re-
sponded libearlly with large donations
for the upkeep of the school. Judge
Harry E. Keidan was toastmaster.
David A. Brown was the hero of the
hour. lie was cheered as the next
mayor of Detroit, at the mention of
his name by the principal speaker of
the evening, Rabbi Saul Silver of Chi-
cago.
Rabbi Silver declared that the edu-
cation of the youth was the greatest
problem confronting Israel today. Ile
declared that while the activities of
the Jews of. America were until now
limited to the building of hospitals, out
folks' homes, orphans home, the school
should be placed in preference of these
because we are in danger of dying out
as Jews in the coming 10 years, if the
course so far pursued is followed. Ile
showed where there will be 6,000,000
Jews in the United States within 10
years and that these are following a
road to destruction as Jews. He who
would deny that is either a liar or a
fool, Rabbi Silver declared. Ile said
that the late Dr. Emil Hirsh of Chi-
cago recently told him that he has
failed in his work because he finds he
is unable to quote scripture any more
because people won't understand him.
Rabbi Silver proved a great money
getter, when he announced that he
was going to sell the 12 classrooms in
the building at $1,000 each. In a per-
iod of about 10 minutes the rooms
were sold, five of them returned for
sale again and re-sold, there being
realized a sum total of $18,400, in-
cluding $1,000 for the kindergarten.
Rooms were bought by the following:
Alex and Jack Schreiber, in memory
of their brother, Sollie; Mrs. Ben B.
Babcock; Mr. and Mrs. R. Schomberg-
er, in memory of their son, Samuel;
Mr. and Mrs. H. Horowitz; Mr. and
Mrs. Rudolph Zuiehack; Max Jacobs
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Scholnick, Mr.
and Mrs. Borenstein, J. Friedberg and
family, in memory of Mrs. Friedberg;
Samuel Feldman, Mr. and Mrs. Phil
ip Jacoby, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Davis.
The kindergarten was bought by Mr
and Mrs. Velick. All these gave $1,
000 each, except Mr. and Mrs. Jacoby
and Mr. and Mrs. Borenstein, who
paid $1,200 each for their rooms.
In addition to these, the following
originally bought rooms at $1,000
each, paid their sums as general con
trihutions and offered the rooms for
re-sale. David A. Brown in honor o
his mother, Mr. and Mrs. E. Rebino-

Jewish Socialist Movement, represen-
ted in the Jewish Socialist Verband,
at the closing session of its second an-
nual convention at Forward Ilall, de-
cided in favor of the establishment of
an American Labor party, of which
the Socialist party would be an im-
portant and integral part.
Addresses by Jean Longuet, Ben-
jamin Schlesinger and Abraham Ca-
llan, editor of the Jewish daily, For-
ward, and B. Vladeck, manager of the
Forward, were the outstanding fea-
tures of the convention.
Resolutions adopted called upon the
executive of the Socialist party to
work for an immediate reunion of the
Vienna Working Union of Socialists
parties and the Second International,
called upon all members of the Ver-
hand to co-operate loyally with the
Labor movement in all its struggles,
protested against the present immi-
gration law, and against the proposed
new law for registration of immi-
grants, and recognized The Call and
The Jewish monthly Zukunft, as the
trusted organs of the Socialist move-
ment and the Socialist party, in ad-
dition t9 the Forward.
A resolution calling for the recog-
nition of Soviet Russia that also car-
ried with it a condemnation of the
persecution of political opponents in
Russia, was adopted.
One resolution that was carried af-
ter a warns debate was to the effect
that, as all sections of the labor move-
ment work toward the same end, it is
desirable for them to unite their in-
terests. Thus, in guarded words, the
Socialist party put out a feeler toward
the Poole Zionists, who have main-
tained a separate organization and
propaganda for years. There were 13
votes in the negative.

In the course of the sale, Mr.
Brown offered to pay $2,000 for th

that from the mayor of Detroit the
next Talmud Torah will demand at
