DR. ZHITLOWSKY'S
VISIT IN DETROIT
Kate says:-
I'm not entering a beauty contest but
merely ask you to see the new Chev-
rolet.
Beauty is a word usually associated with
women, but when you see the Bigger and
Better Chevrolet you'll say that here is real
beauty. Its graceful lines, its sturdiness, its
general appearance will at once impress you
and after you drive it you'll say "That's the
car fop me."

Dr. Cyrus Adler, chairman of

nounces the following order issued
by the Secretary of War: "Pass-
over furloughs for soldiers of

sires, in order to permit soldiers

The Bureau of Navigation has
