"Baptism" is the old story of
young man, lazy, irresponsible, dis-
lamest, who forsakes his wife and
family and out of revenge of his
people becomes baptized in spite of
the pangs of his conscience. Where-
ever he lands, in all the capitals of
the world, he becomes converted to
a different church for a price. Ile
lands in Russia, becomes a convert
to the Russian church and in search
for revenge concocts a ritual mur-
der lie. It is an interesting albeit
sad story. The other tales are sim-
ilarly interesting, and this collect-
ion is highly recommended.
"Judaism of Tradition" is a vin-
dication of Orthodoxy and a repudi-
ation of Liberalism. Dr. Epstein
concludes his introduction by de-

During the war, Sokolow set-
tled in London, where, together
with Dr. Weizmann and Dr. Tchis-
now, he started an energetic po-
litical activity for the inclusion of
the Zionist aims in the British
war policies, and thus helped in
the issuance of the Balfour Dec-
laration. Since then Sokolow has
been taking a leading part in all
Zionist political activities. Since
the World War he has conferred
with many leading statesmen of
Europe on Zionist problems and
has succeeded in obtaining the en-
dorsement of the French and Ital-
ian governments of the Balfour
Declaration. He also negotiated
with the Vatican and in 1917 was
received by Pope Benedict XV, to
whom he explained the aims of the
Zionist movement.
During the peace negotiations
in Versailles, Sokolow was presi-
dent of the "Committee of Jew-
ish Delegations," and succeeded in
having Jewish minority rights in
various European countries recog-
nized and included in the peace
treaties. Due to Sokolow's politi-
cal activities, the American Con-
gress endorsed the aims of the Bal-
four Declaration and many gov-
ernments, among them those of
Poland, Rumania and South Af -
rica, expressed their sympathy
with the idea of a Jewish National
Home.
At the yearly Zionist conference
in London in 1920, and at the sub-
sequent Zionist congresses, Soko-
low was chosen president of the
Zionist Executive. When the
Jewish Agency was established in
1929, Sokolow was elected to its
executive, and in September, 1930,
the administrative committee of
the Jewish Agency made him its
honorary vice-president.

student who was expelled last week
from the University because of his
alleged membership in the Commun-
ist party and his reported partici-
pation in the recent student dis-
turbances at the University.
In an open letter to Dr. Deis-
mann, Barr Zweig charges that the
rector "admitted that Dobriner did
not take part in the disturbances
and that last year he had resigned
from the University Communist
party. Nevertheless you have taken
upon yourself to destroy a young
life and therefore you must re-
sign from office."
Jewish students are of the opin- ,
ion that Dr. Deismann's action in
expelling Dobriner was due to his
endeavor to maintain a fifty-fifty

Jews are blameless. Dobriner

From a very humble beginning, by selecting what we thought
was the best merchandise in every line, and by conscientious
service, our business has been built up to its present propor-
tion. During these past eighteen years we have seen hun-
dreds of dealers come and go. Our slogan has always been,
"What is best for our customers is best for us." This is the
cornerstone upon which our business has been built and is
our guiding thought in all our store activities and relations
with our customers. In the nearly score of years we have been
here, the inherent soundness of this policy has been indis-
putably demonstrated.
From the time we began in business we have been selling
Goodyear tires. As everybody knows, more people ride on
Goodyears than any other make. This has been so for 15
years. For a product to endure in unmatched popularity over
a period of this length of time, it must have intrinsic value.
It must be an honest product.
If our experience means anything to you—if the experience
of 20,000,000 motorists means anything to you — YOU
SHOULD BUY GOODYEARS IF YOU WANT THE
MOST FOR YOUR MONEY.
Don't be confused on a lot of puzzling statistics on weight, thickness and diameters. Remember 20 million motorists
can't be wrong. Why be satisfied with second choice when first choice costs no more.
And we, pioneer Goodyear dealers in this city, can sell you Goodyear tires at the lowest prices possible.
You can't beat Goodyear quality and we defy you to buy them cheaper than our present bargain prices.
Come in and give us a chance to demonstrate these claims.
