0 you beautiful shilling Moon,
You throw your rays so bright
Through th.,, sky so dark and glomy,
To look at you is a delight:
You see every nook and corner
Even in the darkest night;
ran you give me any information,
Where the pure are treated right!'
Tell me, I pray, 0 Wind,
You blow everywhere--
Where the weary can find a place
To rest from worry and care,
Where cruel ties do not exist,
Where nobody weeps or complains,
The :loon disappeared, hurried to go,
Where the eyes do not shed tears,
Sighed and answered, "No! No!"
Where the just his reward obtains?
The wind became still, did not blow,
0 tell me, my dear Soul,
And answered, "1 do not know."
Where everybody is forgiving,
Free of sins, sorrows and strife,
Tell me you immense Ocean,
Where life is worth living,
You stream of a thousand miles—
Where are joys and pleasantness,
you know of any ;darn
Ni quarrels, envy and grief,
In any of the numerous isles,
Free of selfishness and hatred,
Ito you know of any city,
From all annoyances to have relief?
Tell no., if you please,
The Soul answered loud and sound:
Where the good are protected,
"Only
in Heaven peace can he found."
Live in harmony and peace?

NEW YEAR SHOULD MARK DEFINITE
ERA IN OUR COMMUNAL LIFE •
By FRED M. BUTZEL
At the present time the Bureau of Jewish Philanthropic
Research, a national organization with headquarters in
New York, is making a careful survey of the Detroit Jewish
Community. We have never had any accurate statistics
as to the number of Jews in Detroit, their age distribution,
how they are employed, or whether they live in concen-
trated districts or well spread out. Everyone has had
notions, and estimates of the population have run all the
way from 30,000 to over 100,000. Some people believe
that most of our Jews are big merchants and small store-
keepers, and others feel that for the most part they are
employed in the automobile industry. The survey will give
very accurately, it is hoped, a true picture of the Detroit
Jewish population.
At the same time a careful study will be made of the
actual work done for Jews in philanthropic, educational
and social lines. and of the unmet needs in these respects,
when measured by standards of other cities as well as in
the light of ascertainable local opinion.
The New Year should mark a very definite era in the
history of our communal life, and mark the beginning of a
conscious determination On the part of the community to
tackle its problems scientifically on the basis of actual in-
formation, and a careful study of needs and conditions.
It is to be expected that the survey, which is being made
by professional economists. statisticians and health, philan-
thropic and educational experts of high caliber, will stir
the community to the needed action at the right time.
ISRAEL'S RALLYING PLACE
A New Year's Greeting.
By RABBI HENRY J. BERKOWITZ
The majestic edifice upon the avenue has now become
a land mark in the life of our community. The pride of
our people in their mighty religious center is the same
pride that our forefathers felt in their little Synagogues of
the old world. Although there is a tremendous history
between the little "Schur in the Judengasse and the great
Temple structure of a modern city. the spiritual elements
which have contributed to the upkeep of both are identical.

old Synagogue of another day even as he prays it today.
The historical continuity of our loyalty to Israel's Rallying
Place has never dimmed. Is this not a challenge to the in-
different and unobservant Jew? Is it not an answer to the
pessimism of those who say that Israel's spirit is weaken-
ing? We enter the New Year with the realization that
the spirit of the Synagogue, far from losing its hold. is
growing ever stronger in the hearts of our people. The
Rosh Ila-Shanah time inevitably is one of hope and cheer.
The notes of the Shofar that fall upon the ear of the Jew
ring out as if from the steps of the Temple on Zion and put
new vigor into the tired hearts of those who come to the
ynagogue for renewed inspiration. My hope and prayer
is that in the solemn services of this New Year our people
may find again, even as they have always found, the in-
spiration to lift up their heads with their hearts that the
King of Glory may enter.

The Initial Presentation of
What's What for Fall In
Suits and Topcoats for Men
T
HE first duty of a man's store is to be CORRECT, and
this comprehends something far more than a collection
of models, materials, and mirrors for customers to look
in. The store itself must be a mirror of What's What in mas-
culine modes. Its fabrics must reveal the latest accepted in-
novations in pattern and color. Its models must reflect each
trifling deviation in line. Every garment in its stock must
register the last-minute developments of style as accurately
as an observatory registers time.
And that, in brief, is just what our new Fall clothes achieve—
they are pre-eminently CORRECT:
They are so up to the minute, that, figuratively, you can tell
the time by them!
They are the minute hand on the Dial of Fashion!
And We hope you will come in and see them.
You are expressly invited.
