OOOOOOOOO ROSH HA SHANAH GREETINGS Burton Rascoe, literary editor of the New York Tribune, writes in the current issue of the Menorah Journal; The hotly human element in the Jewish contributions to American liteurature stand out constantly against the deliberate, unimpassioned, J. Duschinsky, President decorative and non-utilitarian writ- Julius Karsoc, Vice.President ings of the non-Jews. The tendency Martin Hoffman, Sr, ,ry of the Jew is to blow always hot or cold with love or hate. Like Heine, he gives voice either to the loftiest QUALITY SERVICE sentiment or to the bitterest disillu- sion; sometimes, as Heine often did, in the sane poem. The JJew is never serene, nor on the other hand is he ever complaisant; coming of a race of prophets and malcontents, he is always either portentous or in revolt. He is either excessively humble or full of arrogance, depressed or ex- Manufacturer• of alted, challenging the social order or patiently awaiting the coming of the Messiah. He never takes things easy or lets well enough alone; his bent is ethical; he cannot forbear to inter- fere with other people's affairs; he Columns, Church Tracery, Garden Furniture, Flower Vases, judges the world of peoples in rela- nod tion to himself, his own peculiar Baths. We also carry in stock all kinds of Window and Door Sills. problems and idiosyncrasies of taste; he has, in short, bad manners, as the Greeks would define that term. Al- cibiades was the Greek ideal of the 8506.8520 South Street Detroit, Michigan good and gracious man, because it was said of Alcibiades that he made himself one with whatever company Cedar 2710 he encountered; he was martial among military men, scholarly among scholars; he ate and dressed like the barbarians when he was with them F.,11.mr and he accommodated his preferences in all matters to the situation in which he found himself. It is un- thinkable that a Jewish Jew could ever be an Alcibiades; he is too jeal- ous of his personal identity for that, too insistently egoistic, too readily contemptuous of modes of living which he thinks inferior to his own. This, mind you, is not disparage- ment, but the establishment of a ra- tionale whereby to view the Jewish contribution to American letters. It is to pose points of difference with the non-Jewish writers. The Hellenic rule of the golden mean tends to be colorless, vapid, trivial and uninter- esting when it is adhered to by writ- ers who have hot shining qualities of intellect and emotional perception. On the other hand, the writer who considers his own reactions in the light of universal laws, is by that very fact likely to be interesting, because his work has behind it an intensity of feeling. It is for that reason, I be- lieve, that contemporary American, as well as French, Italian and Ger- man literature, is strongly colored with Judaism. Some of the outstand- ing works of the great modern non- Jewish writers—James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence, Marcel Proust (although he is said to have been part Jew), May Sinclair, Dorothy Richardson, Virginia Woolf and T. S. Eliot—are essentially Jewish in chraacter, how- ever modified by other cultures. It is possible that the Judaic strain in modern letters may eventually break down to a great extent that chill bar- rier of austerity the Englishman has erected about him, that traditional self-isolation which keeps the Eng- lishman's thoughts pretty much to Ir himself, and his troubles out of the shop-windows of life. Whether it will or not, that strain has ineradicably crept into the English and American literature of the period. It has given that literature variety and new life; it has intensified the critical element in literature, and it has opened new avenues of vicarious experience.

Bump of All Kinds col WASTE PAPER 1342 Brewster St. Cadillac 1708 Cadillac 1709 League, the American Bond and oth- er organizations, Mr. Rippler enjoys the confidence of thousands of his fellow men. He is favorably known as one of the most progressive real estae brok- ers of the city; has well appointed offices at 724 Dime Savings Bank building, and this reliability is proved by years of permancy in the business life of our great city. His funda- mental education and his years of ex- perience—years of activity in the real estate field, years of study of real estate law, several years the head of a real estate association with the du- ties of adviser, arbiter in controver- sies, appraiser and adjuster, have es- tablished his reputation, which is based on efficiency, service, reliabil- ity, fair dealing and the abhorrence of all that is unust to buyer or seller. Listings are accepted only after a personal investigation of the property offered and at prices that are right. Mr. Nippier says: "Unfortunately, there are nien in the real estate busi- ness without knowledge or experi- ence, who have their place of busi- ness in their dwelling, in the lobbies of office buildings, or at the curb. Their only desire is a sale or a trade where they can get their hands on a Itt•mritission, without thought of serv- ice for benefit to the buyer or seller. "Home buyers should consult the experienced broker; the buyers of in- vestment property should consult brokers who have made profitable in- vestments for their clients; the men who have contracts to sell should go to the broker who has ready buyers. If you want a home, consult him— his advice is free. He knows what the designation 'Home' implies. Home means permanency. It is your own. You may come and go as you will; your children are free to live and de- velop in a healthy, normal atmos- phere and, as they grow older, home represents the foundation upon which their character is built. From your home no stranger can compel you to move—it is your's—yours perma- nently, and no landlord can raise your rent. Your permanent home must be in the right location—surround- ings of natural beauty, convenient to business, amusement and shopping centers, and in a community of sub- stantial people who own their own homes. These and other features are embodied in homes and home sites that we offer and authentic and de- tailed information can be obtained from any member of our staff."
