Rev. Dr. S. Parks Cadman says he wants to see a unification of all re-

the new Hudson Super-Six and the
new Essex Super-Six.
I venture a guess that the next time the gentleman having in charge the
arrangements for the biennial of the Union of American Hebrew Congre-
gations selects chairmen for the various divisional meetings that the name
of the distinguished ex-diplomat, Henry Morgenthau, will not be among
those present. I think I am using the term "forme diplomat" advisedly
Mr. Morgenthau may have been a diplomat at one time, but he is evidently
out of practice. It seems that Mr. Morgenthau presided over the session
of the biennial which fell to his glad lot with such success that one of the
speakers had to rush to the front of the platform and in anguished tones
inquire of the heavens if it wasn't possible for us to assemble without being
split apart by controversies—that is unnecessary ones, personal ones. Mr.
Morgenthau had a bone to pick and the bone was named Rabbi William
Fineshriber. The gathering apparently resented the chairman's choice. To
be a diplomat one must know where and what kind of a bone to pick. Of
late it is becoming increasingly apparent that Mr. Morgenthau must have
exhausted his entire stock of diplomacy while minister to Turkey. At least
the Zionists seem to think so. And they are gradually being joined by non-
Zionists holding the same opinion. Mr. Morgenthau has rendered great
public service to his fellow Jews and I wouldn't for the world want to mini-
mize his value to his people or to the nation at large. But he really should
try to be a diplomat.
I recently attended a dinner at which the subject of "Our Changing
Standard of Morals" was discussed by Lewis Browne, author of "This Be-
lieving World;" Dr. Will Durant, author of "The Study of Philosophy,"
John Cowper Powys, the great University Extension lecturer; by Dr. Everitt
Dean Martin, the famous phychologist director of the People's Institute of
New York; Art Young, the noted cartoonist; Dr. Edmund Chaffee, the new
director of the Labor Temple School of New York; I)r. Hannah Stone, re-
search director of the Birth Control Clinic of New York. It was the most
imposing array of intellect ever gathered at one speaker's table and I sat
back with an open mind ready to receive the outpouring of the wisdom
of the ages. But I confess that I was more confused about our morals and
our moral standards after the dinner than before. To me the most signifi-
cant and moral statement of the entire evening was that made by that de-
lightful, fine-minded modern philosopher, Will Durant, who said that he
would rather raise a fine family than write all the books of Shakespeare
and Plato. And he meant it, too. It was presumably a I'resbyterian
gathering, but of the 800 present 795 were Jews! But I did gather from
the dinner that we are at present enjoying a moron-civilization with Ten-
nessee in the forefront carrying the banner of anti-evolution.
The opera lovers among the readers will love this bit from Stark Young,
the quite informed and the quite sophisticated critic of the New Republic:
In the revival of the Magic Flute I heard Marion Talley for the
first time. She sang Sembrich's old role, the Queen of Night, with
the innocence of a convent canary. A pretty voice, sweet, silvery
and as yet very young, attempting an aria without any idea of its
form and without any beginning or end, like a young miss doing a
piece in a boarding school convent."
So this is America!
The Super-Six Principle
also revealed in the
ESSEX SuperSIX
Most women are satisfied if they have one career, so many of them
don't have any. So I am sure they will thank me for presenting to them
Mrs. Benjamin Algase of New York. Huh! just a married woman! Now
please wait a moment. That is only a third of Mrs. Algase. Just read this
and wonder:
An outstanding characteristic of the Essex Super-Six is the complete absence
of labor with which it performs every requirement.
At the getaway you swing into speed with magic ease. There is no jerk. vibra-
tion or mechanical chatter, no waste motion, no explosive jump—sometimes
mistaken for acceleration. You glide to the front with flying freedom and ease.
And so smoothly, you scarce realize how swiftly.
If you have seen a young woman rushing rather frantically about
town carrying a brief case, a vanity box and a bag of groceries, and
at the some time rending an enormous book entitled "Torts and Ease-
ments," you have no doubt wondered who on earth she is. Well,
she is Miss Julia Cohn, actress, lawyer and wife.
There, the secret is out. Miss Cohn by day is "Miss Julia Cohn, man-
aging attorney for the firm of Houdin & Wittenberg at 70 West Fortieth
street. By night she is "Esther" in Anne Nichols' production, "Sam Ab-
ramowitch," now playing at the National Theater, and when the show is
over she enters the role of wife of Benjamin Algase, a young attorney.
And yet some of us never find time to do anything.
I have always entertained the highest admiration for Felix Adler. Here
is a leader of religious movement who is neither an orator nor freak nor a
poseur. Ile is a modest, scholarly gentleman whose very earnestness, sin-
cerity, love of righteousness, single-minded devotion to an ideal and belief
in the application of abstract principles to the concrete problems of life
have made him one of the nation's outstanding constructive influences to
a higher citizenship and a better life. And here we find Dr. Adler, at the
age of 76, undertaking a drive for $1,000,000 for a new ethical culture
school. It may be interesting to our readers to know that 50 years ago I)r.
Adler organized a kindergarten for poor children. And what a blessing
this proved to be to harassed and overworked mothers who found some
agency not only to care for their children but to play games with them and
even furnish them with a lunch of crackers and milk; then Dr. Adler or-
ganized a school for workingmen's children; and it may interest you to
learn that Felix Adler was the first to introduce a vocational school in this
country, in 1079. A practical idealist, we salute you, and wish you success
in your latest enterprise.
A frock coat still remains the symbol of statesmanship in Alabama.
Otherwise how in the name of Tennessee could such a man as Heflin ever
get to the United States Senate. He wears an eloquent frock coat and a
Will Rogers hat--and carries with him • non-stop voice and a tongue that's
the nearest thing to perpetual motion thus far discovered. With such a
splendid equipment he represents the sovereign state of Alabama. Ile is
a living example of American intolerance. Be is trying to bait the popu-
lace into an attack on the Catholic Church. It is astonishing that in a
body that pretends to have sense and dignity that this man should be per-
mitted to rise and say that three Presidents have been murdered through
Catholic influence; that the Knights of Columbus is trying to get the United
States and Mexico in an armed conflict. I once knew a man by the name
of Cyclone Kirkland, who was the astrologer of the famous Corey Army
that marched to Washington. Cyclone differed from Heflin to the extent
that he was the grand chief of the Silent Brotherhood, while the Senator

And, so, in all it does, whether in spurting at top speed, or doing a comfortable
fifty miles an hour all day long, you can realize its silky super-performance, only
by the way you distance others.
This smoothness means ECONOMY—economy of effort, economy of power,
economy in the long life of all moving parts. And in making long tours, or
using your Essex all day in city traffic you will find the further economy of
physical freshness, that comes from its easy driving, riding, steering and control,
and its freedom from vibration at all speeds.
In four beautiful new Essex bodies—handsomely appointed and upholstered—the
advantages of the released Super-Six principle costs you little more than any" Four".
