Acute Shortage Felt Due to In-

Other Activities.

3,965 miles without once changing oil or leaving the
driver's seat to lubricate the chassis. To them, and
the wonderful Packard Eight motor which never fal-
tered in the 165 hours and 50 minutes continuous
driving, I attribute the success of the run.

This is a real tribute to the ease with which the car
was handled and its riding qualities. ****

The car came through with a perfect score. We had
no mechanical difficulties of any kind. I believe we
could have turned right around and driven back to Los
Angeles without stopping either car or motor.

Chooses Packard Eight

Two of Wade's companions on the historic
world flight, Lieutenants Smith and Arnold,
own Packard Eights. Their advice agreed
with his judgment and he bought a Packard
Eight in which to attempt his record run.

His choice was a sound one. The Packard
Eight never once in seven days and nights
ceased its forward motion. Gas, oil, food and

For the third time within a year the re-
markable reliability of Packard motors
has been forcibly called to public atten-
tion: First, the successful 8,100 mile
flight of the Navy dirigible Shenan-
doah. Second, the record-breaking

13 miles to the gallon.

The chassis was thoroughly lubricated every
hundred miles without stopping the car —
by the mere pull of a plunger on the dash.

Value of Improvements

Confirmed

Lieutenant Wade's spectacular trip merely
served to impress what the owners of 15,000
new series Packard cars have learned in the
past seven months. For these owners have
found in their cars the most important new
improvements since the electric self-starter
— the chassis lubricator and the motor
oil rectifier.

To the average owner these improvements
mean longer life of parts, lower costs for oil,
quietness of operation and service uninter-
rupted by frequent giving up of the car for
chassis lubrication.

I mams of and is now owned by Jews
in Palestine, according to a report
just received at National Ileadquar-
, ter, of the K eren Il a yesod. The in-
crease in land ownership conies as a
result of the great influx of Jewish
settlers during the past year and the
efforts of the Keren Ilayesod to es-
tablish the pioneers in their agricul-
tural colonies on land purchased by
the Jewish National Fund. Despite
the increased land purchases of the
Jewish National Fund and the ex-
tension of Keren Ilayesod agricultural
colonization activities, the acute land
shortage remains the pressing prob-
lem in Palestine, because immigration,
instead of letting up, shows every sign
of increasing during the next year.
The Jewish National Fund, having
acquired 184,621 dunams of land, has
decided to purchase an additional 62,-
700 dunams immediately, to meet the
acute situation caused by the vast
needs for extended farm settlements
to absorb the newcomers.
The increased immigration has also
necessitataed increased medical and
public health activities, a report from
Dr. A. Katsnelson, Secretary of the
Palestine Ilealth Council, reveals. lia-
dassah Medical Organization, main-
tained jointly by Hadassah, the Amer-
ican Women's Zionist Organization,
and the Keren Ilayesod, has increased
the bed strength of its hospitals in
Jerusalem, Jaffa, Tiberias, Haifa and
Safel from 209 in 1923 to 328 in 1924.
Patients in the hospitals and city and
agricultural settlements increased
greatly during the year. Hadassah's
anti-trachoma campaign and infant
welfare work has also been extended
to the farm colonies.
The Kupath Cholim (Workers Sick
Fund), also extensively aided by the
Keren Ilayesod, is providing constant-
ly increasing facilities for its mem-
bers who now number over 10,000 as
compared to 1,200 in 1919. Every
type of medical aid is now provided
in over 70 localities, while branches
are immediately established wherever
new farm settlements or industrial
centers are created.

TORAH AND THE JEWS

By Theodor. Olneder
of the "Yeshibah."

The Torah is the very cause of the
existence of the Jewish Nation. It is
the Torah that encourages the Jewish
people to be loyal to their religion
and nation.
Great nations with unbounded em-
perors have existed and prospered;
but in due time they were obliterated.
Iltome, Babylonia, Assyria, where are
they? But the small Jewish nation,
whom the monstrous governments
have driven and persecuted, have sur-
vived. In spite of the unfavorable
conditions in which the Jew was
I placed, crowded into unhealthy ghet-
tos, often in the lowest and most un-
sanitary parts of the town, statistics
show that Jews are more able to re-
sist certain diseases than their neigh-
boring Gentiles are. Mortality and
morbidity records favor the Jew in
almost every country.
It is the Torah. the life of Israel,
the light which leads man to God and
great ideals of duty that protected us.
It is the holy spirit of our Torah
which inspired our sages to become
martyrs for their religion and nation.
It is for that reason that our nation
has been preserved.
This life light has always emanated
from the Yeshivah. The "Yeshivah,"
our sages tell us, "have never ceased
to exist in Israel." It has always been
the sanctuary of the Jewish soul and
the nursery of the Jewish spirit.
%e have here in Detroit representa-
tives of great Yeshivath. A few from
Slahvthha, one of the greatest yeshi-
vath of Europe, and also from the
greatest center of learning in America
of its kind, the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan
Theological Seminary, whose aim Is
expressed in the words of the hon-
ored rabbi, Dr. Revel, "to disseminate
Jewish knowledge and ideals and to
train a Jewish laity, imbued with the
spirit of true Judaism."
In order to help preserve the Jew-
ish Nation, in order to be assured of
the Jewish existence, we must uphold
I and support these great centers of
learning.

S. A. S. Jacobs Gives Excerpts
From Speech on "Concen-
tration of Territory."

What do we mean by "Concentra-
tion of Territory"? We have all
heard of concentrated foods, also con-
centrates1 drugs, but when we speak
concentration of territory we mean
to say that it is merely geography
involsed to concentrate and plan our
work in the certain particular terri•
tory, the district assigned to the man-
ager or general agent; in other words,
we must cut the pattern according to
the cloth.
As a general agent for s company
with a "Heart" it is my idea to plant
Metily into the minds of my men that
they are in business to serve to cre-
ate a high standard of living, to teach
by precept and example the difference
between spending and saving or how
to spend—that they are in business to
pilled. homes, lives, property, allevi-
ate pain, suffering, contributors to the
solution of a great economic problem:
in short, in business to strengthen the
structure of our organization, in busi-
ness to make good men. Making good
men silently and surely makes clean
legitimate money.
For effective service the life insur-
ance man must be a counsellor who
has equipped himself by thorough
study of all plans of his company, the
specific needs of his clients, the eco-
nomic and social factors in his corn-

Muity.
