Frank Se nnerton, one of the great-

day, is to lecture here, sharing the
Sixth Civic Music League program at
the Arena Gardens Jan. 21 with Ilya
Schkolnik, first violin of the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra.

of coming to the United States if the
pending Johnson 2 per cent quota bill
were the law, declared Stephen S.
Wise in an address Sunday night at a
mass meeting held in Metropolitan
Auditorium, Madison avenue and
Twenty-fourth street. Rabbi Wise's
remark was occasioned by the discov-
ery that the quota of 57 from Pales-
tine under the 3 per cent law based
on the 1910 census was reduced to
one under the 2 per cent bill based on
the 1890 census.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Jewish Council of
Greater New York, and the speakers
included Joseph Barondess, Represen-
tative Samuel Dickstein, a member of
the house immigration committee;
Representative Nathan D. Perlman,
former Representative Isaac Siegel
and Rabbi Hirsch Masliansky.
Bill Attacked.
The speakers attacked the pending
immigration bill sponsored by Con-
gressman Albert Johnson, charging
that it was un-American and discrim-
inatory and that it was meant to prac-
tically bar all immigration from East-
ern and Southern Europe.

Dr. Wise also attacked the pending

NEW 4-DOOR NASH "SPECIAL SEDAN"
WILL BE DISPLAYED AT AUTO SHOW

SAMUEL GREETS
HAKOACH ELEVEN

JERUSALEM (J. T. A.)—The
Jewish football team of Vienna, the
Ilakoach, was received by Sir Herbert
Samuel, high commissioner of Pales-
tine, who praised the players for their
recent victories. Governor Storrs has
arranged a tea in their honor.
A reception was held Thursday at
the theater with the ilakoach as
guests of honor. Representatives of
Zionist Organization, including rep-
esentatives of the Maccabean exceu-
tine and of the Vaad Leumi, spoke in
terms of praise of the splendid record
achieved by the Jewish football team.

THE NASH SEVEN-PASSENGER SEDAN

No car introduced by the Nash Mo-
tors Company has ever met with so
enthusiastic a response on the part of
the public as the new Four-Door Cyl-
inder "Special Sedan," now on dis-
play for the first time at the twenty-
third annual auto show, commencing
Saturday evening.
In this magnificent model Nash has
successfully bridged the gulf between

open car price and enclosed car lux-
ury.
It is bound to create a great new
army of enclosed car owners because
it is priced down to a point but little
above that of an open car.
Mounted gracefully low to the road-
way and finished in a lustrous Nash
blue, the "Special Sedan" is a charm-
ing picture of motor car beauty.
Its symmetrical all metal panel

body is the handiwork of craftsmen
famed throughout Europe and Amer-
ica for the originality of their coach-
work conceptions.
Practically every luxury that comes
with costly custom-made cars is
standard equipment with the "Special
Sedan." There Is • rear vision mir-
ror, jeweled clock, heater, kick plates,
automatic windshield wiper, silvered
dome light, foot rest, and a score of
other conveniences.
The deep restful seats are uphol-
stered in the finest grade of blue mo-
hair cloth. In the interior design
compactness has been achieved with-
out ancrificce of comfort. There is
spacious room for five full-grown pas-
sengers to recline in perfect ease.
Unusually long rolling fenders ac-
centuate the car's smart appearance
and serve as a complete protection
from splashing mud and water.
Another interesting feature of the
"Special Sedan" is the convenient
grouping of the instruments under
glass. There are three of these
glass-housed instrument assemblies,
each illuminated by an individual
electric light, which may be turned on
steadily or simply flashed on for a
moment.
And underlying the beautiful body
is the standard Nash Six Chassis,
which is now improved and advanced
to a point where further refinement

seems impossible. At the slightest
pressure of the throttle the Nash
l'erfected Valve-in-Head Motor re-
sponds briskly and instantly.
This Special Sedan is the crowning
culmination of Nash effort to produce
a value that "leads the world."
There is little doubt but that this
car is destined to become the out-
standing achievement of the year.

GERSHON AGRONSKY TO
SETTLE IN PALESTINE

NEW YORK. (J T. A.)—Gersohn
Agronaky, for the past two years ed-
itor of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
in New York, is leaving for Palestine
the end of January to establish his
residence.
Mr. Agronsky, who served In the
American Jewish Legion with the
British army in Palestine, will con-
tinue his newspaper work in Jerusa-
lem, where he will establish his resi-
dence.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency
takes this occasion of expressing its
appreciation of the ability, singular
devotion and the untiring industry
Mr. Agronsky displayed in his work
for the Agency, Jacob Landau, man-
aging director, said in announcing
Mr. Agronsky's resignation.

First Showing

A Low-Priced, Beautifully Built
Nash Six 4-Door Special Sedan

The value Nash has embodied in this new Special Sedan is so advanced and
extraordinary that the car is certain to win an immediate and national acceptance.

Though the price has been set at a point not far above open model cost, this
Special Sedan is an enclosed car of remarkable quality.

The finely modeled, all-metal panel body, mounted upon the Nash Six chassis,
is the superb work of craftsmen whose artistry is held as highly abroad as here.

There are four broad doors to render entrance and exit agreeably pleasant, and
a wealth of select fittings give distinctive atmosphere to the interior.

Features and Appointments of New Special Sedan—All-metal panel, 4-door body. Spacious
comfort for five full-grown passengers. Upholstery of blue mohair cloth. Fine jeweled clock.
Tasseled silken curtains. Door pockets. Dome light. Heater. Foot rest. Automatic windshield
wiper. Rear-vision mirror. Inbuilt sun visor. Kick plates. Three doors with locks on the in-
side and the fourth door locked from the outside. All windows adjustable except the rear plate.
