ProfessorGottheil has been one of the outstand- ing Jews of the country and, for that matter, of the world. He is a scholar of first rank and the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity is to be congratulated upon its recognition of Dr. Gottheil's contribution to Jewish life. The medal will be awarded to the Jew who receives the approval of a committee of 11 selected from the Jewish journalists of the United States. • - Bishop Manning says that he would like to see the Catholics, Jews and ICeemstight, tut.

I think you and I have by this time pretty well satisfied the populace that Dr. Stephen S. Wise and you are not brothers. But now I have an inquiry as to whether you and Weiss of Bruck-Weiss are brothers. The assertion is made that you are. Will you please relieve the mind of the reader? In the meantime Bruck-Weiss is getting a little free millinery advertising. Lothrop Stoddard, I am told, is a very nice man. One thing I do know about him, he can write an article proving that the Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan was once the shammas in a achule. That article of his in the March Forum on the "Pedigree of the Jew," will keep the Jews busy for another thousand years trying to figure out whether they are Jews. Stoddard is really an expert on matters of race. But sometimes I think he gets his prejudices mixed up with his facts. A bad combination, a bad combina- tion, brother. Now the Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity, in honor of Professor J. II.

STOP DRAUGHTS 0* STEEL "YOU ARE ENTITLED TO KNOW THE FACTS" DODGE BROTHERS, INC. could meet a test like this . AT YOUR WINDOW AND DOORS I am in receipt of an inquiry as to whether the ethical culture movement is growing among the Jews, especially in such centers as New York and Chicago. I don't know. Maybe some one of my readers can supply the in- formation. It always seemed to me that Felix Adler was such a tower of strength to the movement that in the event of a decline in his activity a distinct setback might result. Those of you who are interested in all these discussions of Jesus, the Jew, and Jesus and the Jews and the Jews and Jesus, might find it well worth your while to get a copy of the unusual sermon delivered by Dr. Bradley of the People's Church, Chicago, a few Sundays ago. It was the boldest utterance from a Christian pulpit that I have read in years, • - What have we to do with the admission of Countess Cathcart or Count- ess Karolyi or any of the other more or less prominent personages who have been refused admission to this country because of the extraordinary Babbit minds that are now functioning on Main street, Washington, D. C.? Just this. This exclusion stupidity is merely another variation of the Funda- mentalist tune that has supplanted "Yes, We Have No Bananas Today." The same minds that are trying to ku klux the country into thinking in a standard way, into living in a standard way, are the same illiberal, fanati- cal, reactionary minds intent on keeping everybody out of the country who doesn't eat apple pie and drink ice water, belong to the Rotary Club. the Elks or the Shriners. and who refuse to believe that the Bible was ever intended to be a scientific book. The battle for the Karolyis is a battle for liberalism, and don't forget that for a moment, even though the blue-nosed, sniffling hypocrites try to tell you something else. BUILDERS' SHOW HAS 830 BOOTHS A Complete Home, Erected on Floor of Convention Hall, To Feature Exhibit. The 830 booths in Convention Hall are set up and trimmed for the ex- hibits of the annual Builders and Better Homes Exposition and the ex- hibits have taken on order and har- mony of color. Particular care has been taken by all exhibitors to make decorations and furniture in the booths harmonize, and the effort to make masonry and woods work into the general color scheme has not been overlooked. One exhibit of the great exposition which will attract a constant stream of visitors is the full-size home of six rooms which has been built within the Convention Hall precisely as it would have been constructed for a residence on a city lot. A Dodge Brothers Motor Car . . . A speeding truck rac- ing down hill and out of control . . . A collision ... . Take one look at this photograph. It is not pretty, to be sure, but it will convince any sensible man that all steel construction is the only safe construction for a motor car body. That is why Dodge Brothers introduced the all steel body more than eleven years ago, and this year greatly improved and perfected it. In fact, Dodge Brothers are convinced that the day is not far off when wooden motor car bodies will be a curiosity. People will 'shudder at the thought of having ridden in them and will thank Dodge Brothers for the greater safety, durability—and beauty, too—of all steel construction. A steel body will stand up under impacts that would crush the average body to bits. Steel cannot splinter. Steel cannot burn. Steel is an armor of protection on the crowded, hurrying highway. Outwardly, nearly all types of bodies ap- pear to be all steel. In reality, however, most of them are simply frames of wood covered by a metal shell. Dodge Brothers Motor Car bodies are steel through and through—steel reinforced by steel —buttressed and braced by steel— even the frames and running boards are steel. And slender, stronger steel corner posts re- place the customary bulky posts of wood, affording full, unhampered driving vision on all sides— a safety feature of the first importance! Travel in safety! Powerful, quick-action brakes, a chassis world-famous for its sturdi- ness, and a body of steel— these explain the enviable reputation for safety enjoyed by Dodge Brothers Motor Car—and the envi- able feeling of safety enjoyed by those who drive it. The car will continue to be a "four." No reasoning buyer will be dis- tracted from the issue of QUALITY by mere CYLINDER propaganda. Excise Tax reduction effective NOW.

This house is completely finished, furnished and decorated, not a small detail of the necessities and comforts of the home having been omitted. It will be a great object lesson to the many thousands of small home owners visiting the exposition, showing what science and skill in choice of materials can do today to make the househelder of modest means as happy in his home as any prince in his palace. Every new device in the construc- tion and furnishing of homes which will add to permanence, economy and comfort is shown in detail. The use of steel sash, embedded in masonry; varieties of building blocks, reliable makes of stucco with pleasing color tones are among the thousands of de- tailed features of the exposition. Not less than 2,000 feet of floor space is devoted to various forms of iceless re- frigeration, and, to offset this frigid display, numbers of oil burners of latest desien are in full operation. Music Furnished. The blare of loud bands has been eliminated from the show this year, the management contending that too much music interferes with the pub- lic's real enjoyment of the features of the exposition and with the lec- tures which are in progress afternoons and evenings. But delightful music of the softer type is provided by Finzel's orchestra, which will he shifted to various points in Convention Hall. The doors of the exposition will open at 7 o'clock Saturday evening, March 13. Every 35-cent admission ticket has attached a coupon with blank spaces for estimates on cost of the Ideal Home, which is to he given away on the last evening of the expo- sition, March 24. Packard Develops Motors. While the world may have been led to believe that the United States is still stumbling around in the back- woods so far as airplane development work is concerned, both the U. S. navy and the army have been working quietly, consistently and with a defi- nite purpose in view, and now have announced a new aircraft motor around which in time of need it is as- serted a complete aerial defense could be built quickly. It is said no coun- try has a motor which develops as great power for its weight or which is more dependable. Three years of intensive develop- ment has resulted in an engine which can lift four times its own weight straight into the air. Although it weighs but 720 pounds, it develops 615 horse power, less than one and one-quarter pounds per horse power. Only last fall the engine was rated at 500 horse power, and with this rating was acclaimed an outstanding air- plane engine among all the aircraft motors of the world.
