secured by a closed first mort-
gage on land owned in fee, and 12-story
garage to be erected thereon. Location is the
Northeast corner of State Street and Park
Place, Detroit. This site adjoins the North-
west corner of Washington Boulevard and
State Street.
Building is to be a 1,000 car garage of 12 stories
and full basement, steel and concrete fireproof
construction, Os ith 8 stores on ground floor.
This garage is the first unit of the 85-story
Book Tower. Foundations and steel arc de-
signed to carry an additional 12 stories.
The total security is $2,644,660, which
makes the bond issue approximately ;
of the security.
The borrower is J. B. Book, Jr., owner of
many valuable downtown Detroit properties
and nationally known for his remarkable de-
felopment of Washington Boulevard.
The location is probably the best in the city
of Detroit for a structure of this type. Its
proximity to large downtown buildings assures
immediate occupancy. Within a radius of two
blocks arc a score of Detroit's largest office
buildings and hotels. A location as central as
this will probably never again he available
for garage facilities.
The Book 'Tower Garage will he operated
by National Garages, Inc., probably the larg-
est operators of ramp-type garages in the
world. They have successfully operated the
properties of Detroit Garages. Inc., :or a
long period.
The net yearly income of garage and stores
is estimated at $278,394.50, more than three
times the greatest annual interest charge on
the bone issue. The garage income was esti-
mated by National Garages, Inc., based on their
long experience as operators of 12 garages in
cightcities, having a total capacity of 6,700 cars.
A survey of traffic conditions in Detroit shows
the real need the city has for a building of
this type, and an examination of the features
of this bond issue reveals the fact that it is
a remarkably fine investment opportunity.

"That Man Heine"
(Continued from preceding page.)
to secure that quiet room he want-
ed so utterly. In his time the only
position outside of business that
was open to a cultured young man
wits public office. To get a public
°thee you had to lie a Doctor of
Law. To be a Doctor of Law you
had to be baptized.
The flower of German Jewry
went to the baptismal font at that
time. Edward Gans, the philos-
opher and political scientist, Lud-
wig Borne, the greatest journalist
of the time, and Ileine, the poet.
Heine himself remarked a few
days after the ceremony : "I am
baptized but not converted." Flow-
ever, this formality which was
forced upon Heine by the bar-
barian church of his time has
given professors of literature ever
since an excuse to rhapsodize over
him as a genuinely German poet
without ever letting on that he
wits also a genuinely Jewish Jew.
Heine himself tried for some
time to forget that he was a Jew.
Ile liked to call himself a Hellene,
a seeker after pure beauty, and
therefore unconcerned with moral
and social problems. But the
smart of Jewish suffering wan in
his blond and the fire of the proph-
ets smouldered in his breast. He
became the leader in the rebel-
lion 4.f the German people aesinst
the German aristocracy because
he knew the sting of the oppres -
sion of his race. lie knew the
strangulating confinement of the
ghetto. To champion the cause of
the denied and the downtrodden is
an instinctive thing with the Jew.
Deep below the treshold of Heine's
adds the final touch of
distinction to your home
ever produced by the skill
and ingenuity of man has won such
universal prestige as the Steinway piano.
The greatest musicians use it. All
over the world its name is known and
respected. It stands for all that is best
in piano design and manufacture.
That is why well-appointed homes
everywhere include the Steinway as an
essential element in their interiors. Its
beauty of line and tone, its honored
NOTHING
name, lend an added dignity and grace
which is appreciated by cultivated
people. It is universally accepted as an
index of good taste.
The superiority of the Steinway is so
well established that no one seriously
questions it. And that superiority—so
widely known, so commonly acknowl-
edged—spells endless satisfaction for its
owner. Let us show you the new Ebon-
ized Baby Grand!

mind there stirred the Jewish tra-
dition of freedom, a tradition and
a passion which is rooted in the
beginnings of the race. When-
ever freedom has spoken out in
the Western World, she has spoken
with a decidedly Jewish accent.
In England, in America and in
Germany, it was Moses and the
judges and the Prophets who
turned the tide in favor of Democ-
racy. It was two Jews, Borne and
Heine, baptized in the fire of Jew-
ish suffering which no baptism by
water could quench, who lod
Young Germany into the revolu-
tiin which ended with the libera-
tion of 1848.
And no small measure of the
energy and recklessness with
which they gave themselves to the
struggle was due to their desire to
make it up to the Jewish people
which they had ostensibly deserted
in their baptism. In the general
liberation, they knew, Jewry
would would its full emancipation.
Judaism is not a mere formula of
words with which men can play
about. It is for every Jew a vital
social responsibility. The Jewish
people is, always in a precarious
position. To desert it is to desert
a social trust.
That Heine felt this, Mr.
Browne adduces convincing evi-
dence.
He wanted one quet room, one
love, one faith. In the struggle to
get these. he lost everything, in-
cluding honor. But he gained a
melancholy music which shall
swing sweet to the end of time,
and he gained a mighty passion
for humanity which, like a blast
of gunpowder, tore down the last
ramparts of niedittevalism and
wrought mightily to bring on this
new world in which we are living.
In giving instructions as to his
funeral, he said: "Lay upon my
grave not a laurel wreath (the re-
ward of the poet), but a sword.
For while I have played with poet-
ry as with a divine toy, I want to
be membered primarily as a sol-
dier in the war for the liberation
of mankind."
