T N KEEPING with the joyousness of
the occasion, the very best is wanted
for the Thanksgiving feast. First of all
a generous supply of kitchen conveni-
ences, for holidays mean extra work in the
kitchen—then the most beautiful china
one possesses is brought out to grace the
t a ble; gleaming silver to lend its dignity
and beauty, and sparkling crystal for the
finishing touch. And so that nothing be
left undone, handsome lamps and odd
pieces to add their charm to the occasion.
All these you will find at King's, infinite
in their variety—from the least expensive
to the finest in the land. In all instances
the prices will be found to be surprisingly
moderate.

challenges the Imperial Wizard to
"come out into the open and give the
public the facts" in connection with
the murder committed by the pub-

last Monday. But shooting people to
death seems to be an incident in the
Klan's road to conquest. A murder
here and there by one of his hench-
men, leaves the Imperial Wizard un-
disturbed. With blood on his pup-

about preaching the doctrine of pure
Americanism, excluding from the
ranks of Americans un-Protestant
Americans not indigenous to the woil
where murderers flourish.

Business Men Appreciate the Remarkable
Response to Jewish Chronicle Advertising
Why should the Klan worry when
La., Klansmen are
fined $10 for taking the law into
their own hands? Klansmen do not
fear or respect the law and they have
no regard for public opinion because
they not only over ride it but intim-
idate it. Organizations with large
sections of their membership opposed
to the Klan, dare not come out and
disavow the Klan because the Klan
minority is too powerful to be re-
pudiated. Even the American Legion
dared not name the Klan in its unc-
tuous resolution denouncing indi-
viduals or organizations fostering
racial, religious or class strife. If
men who faced hell in France will
not encounter the enemy on the home
ground, but will content themselves
with finding the unnamed organiza-
tion inconsistent with the "ideal and
purposes of the American Legion,"
who will dare defy the Klan?

knows a Jew when he sees one, and
so does the Boston Transcript. Jews
are known not only for what they are
but also for what they are not. And
it is known everywhere that Jews are
not united. They are not united even
on as simple and clear an American
issue as withholding the freedom and
the honors of an American city from
a soldier who is at least suspected
of being a pogromist. And knowing
this, the Transcript can write what
it wishes because when and if re-
proached by an indignant Jew it can
come back with the usual, "you are
not that kind of a Jew; you belong
to the class I do not have in mind.
The Transcript is safe and the Klan
grows because we have no "American
Jew" who, Dr. Morgenstern prayer-
fully hopes Neil lbe evolved in Amer-

STRAUS CONTINUES IN
PALESTINE MILK WORK
HE BEGAN IN THE U. S.
Nathan Straus is continultur in Pal-
estine work with which his name has
long been connected, not only in the
United States, but abroad, in Eu-
ropean countries as well. l'ure milk
for babies and their modern scientific
care has been the cause to which, for
the better part of his active life, Mr.
and Mrs. Straus consecrated them-
selves and their means in magnificent
measure. Certain aspects of his
large-scale undertaking in New York
and dozens of other cities in America
and Europe have had a determining
influence upon infant care in general.
It is not the first time that Mr.
Straus has aided the development of
the infant welfare department of the
Hadassah :Medical Organization work
in Palestine. Eight months ago, when
he made his outstanding gift of $50,-
000 to the Hadassah Medical Organiz-
ation, through Hadassah, the women's
Zionist organization, anti thus en-
abled the executive sommittee in l'al-
estine to tide the medical undertak-
ing, over its worst period of fundless-
ness, he stipulated that of the sum
$1,000 be used for work in the Arab
community. The infant welfare de-
partment of the Iladassah Medical
Organization has, from the first day
of its establishment, in July, 1921,
aimed to meet the needs of the Arab
mothers of the Jerusalem community.
With this end in view, it has endeav-
ored to detail for duty in its infant
welfare stations preferably the pupil-
nurses who speak Arabic. In this re-
spect, the traditions of the Hadassals
Medical Organization were followed.
It aims to give its service to the
whole population of l'alestine with-
out discrimination. But the sum of
$1,000 set apart by Mr. Straus en-
abled the fladassah Medical Organiz-
ation to designate a special day for
Arab mothers in the infant welfare
station in the Old City and to employ
a special nurse. A second gift re-
ceived from Mr. Straus enabled the
Iladassah Medical Organization to
employ a nurse for infant welfare
work in Haifa for a period of seven
months, in co-operation with • local
women's organization, the Ilistadrut
Nashim Ibriot. Once the work was
established through his aid, the
charge was taken over by a French
society, acting in affiliation with the
Women's International Zionist Or-
ganization. The Hadassah Medical
Organisation continues to give medi-
cal and bacteriological supervision to
the Haifa enterprise under the new
arrangement.
Thus, within a period of eight
months, Mr. Straus has put the sum
of $30,000 at the disposal of the lia-
dassah Medical Organization in fur-
therance of medical undertakings In
Palestine. An example to be emu-
lated by others in every department
of Palestine work.

count period.
For a period of thirty years the consumers of
gas in the City of Detroit have been supplied un-
der an agreement fixing the rates of charge. This
period has now expired and the rates under
which we have been furnishing gas are entirely
inadequate. In fact, the earnings of the Com-
pany are now insufficient to pay operating ex-
penses, taxes and interest on its indebtedness.
Nevertheless it has been necessary, in conse-
quence of the City's rapid growth, to expend
many millions of dollars in enlarging its prop-
erty.
Within the next few years further extensions
and betterments will be needed, for which a
large amount of additional capital will be re-
quired. Money for these additional outlays can-
not be obtained nor adequate service provided
'unless the Company can show a reasonable re-
turn . This cannot be done under the rates here-
tofore prevailing.
We have, therefore, prepared a new scale of
rates to go into effect covering gas furnished on
and after November 16th.
Two things are to be noted in connection with
this new scale:—(1) It does not represent a
large increase, and is in line, only, with the in-
creased cost of labor and materials; (2) It is
lower than the rates in force in any other city in
the United States where natural gas is supplied
or some other dissimiliar conditions exist.
Whenever the City has completed its inves-
tigation or is ready to discuss the subject of rates,
the Company will be ready to take the matter up
with the City.
Should the new scale of rates produce a
greater return than the City and the Company
shall then agree to be reasonable under the pres-
ent conditions, the Company will make adjust-
ment by proper refund.
This Company has no desire to furnish gas at
rates that are higher than are reasonable. On
various occasions in the past it has voluntarily re-
duced its rates. Our desire is to continue to supply
good gas and good service and to do so at reason-.
able rates.
