Here is one exposition where the builder can look and discuss and study the various displays and draw his own conclusions as to what is the best in- vestment for him--why it is the best • for hint. Ile will therefore build with confidence—hence the slogan of the show, It pays to know.• Everyone dreams about the home he wants to have some day, but very of- ten these plans seem to be in the very distant future, surrounded by vague clouds, obstacles that seem very big. The Builders' Show makes it easier to give definite form to these plans. The dates of the sixth annual show are March first to eighth inclusive. It will be held in the General Motors Building. You can select your site, your architectural plans, get specifi- cations on building materials, heating equipment, wiring, roofing, lighting, fixtures, plumbing fixtures, paint— everything from the doorknob on the front door to the padlock on the gar- age door! Every question that could arise about the building of a home is an- swered here. From the selection of the site and the financing of the build- ing to the last shingle on the roof, the final cost of varnish or enamel—the very locks on the doors—all are brought toget her in this one exposi- tion.

The hanks will be there with fi- nancing plans. Furniture exhibits, electrical accessories, rather, necessi- ties, plumbing fixtures (and there are probably no other fixtures of a house that have improved in appearance so much in the last few years), stoves, wiring, paint, cement—exhibits to in- terest the contractor and exhibits to interest the prospective builder—most of all the prospective builder. Many people who might own homes do not feel confident about doing so. But at the Buiders' Show they can look and ask questions and judge for themselves what is the best location, what kind of a house best suits their needs, what kind ■ .f materials are most durable, what scheme of interior fin- ishing and furnishing is most attrac- tive, they can judge for themselves, rather than taking someone rises' word for it and always wondering af- terwards if they have done the right thing.

"Practically every spring finds the automobile dealer body unable to meet the demand for immediate delivery," said E. H. McCarty, general sales manager of The Nash Motors Corn- pany. "The Nash retail selling or- ganization, at this time is carrying on its books more unfilled retail orders for spring delivery than at any time since this company was established. Many of our dealers, having passed through spring shortage periods of the past, anticipated their requirements this year and have on hand stocks of cars in quantities sufficient to carry them partly through the approaching 'rush season.' "Those dealers who have failed to stock a sufficient number of cars this year are going to find it more difficult than ever before, because of the heavy demand, to take care of the orders that the opening of spring will bring Builders' Show. inclusion of Hebrew or Yiddish as a language of instruction for Jews in public and high schools. The memo- randum further demands that the Talmud Yeshivas be permitted to continue as schools recognized by the government. Another request is that instruction in Jewish schools be per- mitted on Sunday so that there might be no need for attendance by Jewish pupils in the state schools on Satur- days and Jewish holidays. Still an- other request is that Jewish religion and history be included in the cur- ricula of all public and high schools. The teachers for these subjects would be chosen by the Kehillah and would have an equal standing with other secular teachers and would be paid by the state or government. The memorandum reproached the govern- ment for not supporting Jewish schools up to now. "Universul," the organ of the war minister, makes a strong anti-Semitic attack against Zirelson's demands, declaring them to be absurd and dan- gerous in view of Bessarabia's geo- graphic position.
