DISTINGUISHED PERSONALITIES PAY HONOR

Felix M. Warburg: "I am happy indeed to extend my sincere con-
gratulations to Justice Louis D. Brandeis on his seventy-fifth birth-
day. In his service to his country, in his keen concern for the welfare
of humanity, Mr. Brandeis has earned the highest regard and affection
of all who are privileged to know him. In spite of the cares and
responsibilities of his high office, Mr. Brandeis has devoted himself
in full measure to the solution of the difficult problems which face the
Jewish people. I join his many other admirers in wishing that he be
spared to us for many years to come,"

Lieutenant-Governor Herbert II. Lehman: "I deem it a great
pleasure to join his countless other friends and admirers in congratu-
lating him on the attainment of this age and in a tribute to his charge-
ter and accomplishments. Judge Brandeis is one of the outstanding
figures in present-day American life. He is both a great Ameiican
and a great Jew. Of liberal thought, of keen mind, of broadest vision
of indefatigable and unselfish devotion to service, he typifies the best '
of American citizenship. I pray with all my heart that he may be
spared for many more years of willing service to the people he has
already served so well."

Judge Brandeis will receive on his seventy-fifth birthday. His has
been a notable and inspiring American career. Apprenticed to the
law, he early devoted much of himself to what he considered to be the
rights of the individual, whose cause he urged with a passion for juss
Lice which has been one of his outstanding characferistics. When, in
1916, he was called to the Supreme Court he brought to his task
zeal that had been trained and tested by years of industry and a
devoted ability to weigh those grave questions which concerned them-
selves with individual liberty and governmental restraint. Ile has
served the public well and has fulfilled the prophecy of Woodrow
Wilson—'This friend of justice and of men will ornament the high
court of which we are so justly proud.' May many years lie ahead
of him for continued service."

Alfred M. Cohen: "Before entering Olson the duties as a member
or the Supreme Court Justice Brandeis had attained distinction for
learning and power in advocacy. His views upon many public ques-
tions were far removed from those generally entertained. His mode
of thought is that of the pioneer rather than a follower. Ile went to
the Supreme Court wonderfully well equipped and very much was
expected of him. lie has not disappointed even the most sanguine of
his admirers. The decisions bearing his name are among the most
notable the court has rendered in his time. They are worthy contri-
I butions to the judicial pronouncements of an unusual era. They
make secure the reputation of Mr. Brandeis as a great judge. The
Jewish people are proud of Justice Brandeis and grateful that amidst
the trying obligations of his office he has found time to give large
service in the cause of Judaism."

According to statistics gathered by The Life Insurance Sales Research Bureau of Hartford,
Connecticut, and published during the past month, the business of Life Insurance has held up
very well under the stress of the present pressure. The figures of the Bureau are gathered from
seventy-six companies, which had 88% of the total Legal Reserve ordinary Life Insurance out-
standing in the United States at the beginning of the year. These figures indicated that the new
paid-for Life Insurance for the first nine months of 1931 was 16% less than the amount paid for
during the same period in 1930. This is highly gratifying, for it indicates conclusively that while
the buying power of the public may have been reduced or impaired in other lines, it continues to
purchase Life Insurance to nearly the same degree as heretofore.

Of Particular Interest

to the people of Michigan, and more especially to
the policyholders of the DETROIT LIFE INSUR-
ANCE COMPANY, is the fact that while there was
a falling off in the purchase of life insurance, nation-
ally, of 16%, the DETROIT LIFE INSURANCE

COMPANY increased the volume of its new paid-
for business by 32%. Of additional interest are

that the acquisition of this increased volume of busi-
ness is not only a record, but a reflection of the con-
fidence of the Michigan public in a local institution
which has always rendered its policyholders the
acme of service.

Easy Way to have

In his private life, Mr. Brandeis
is a friend of friends. Ile is im-
mense in his loyalties to ties both
far and near. Ile has been a rare
son and brother. His wife is the
friend and comrade with whom he
shares his whole mind. Almost 40
years ago, when they were en-
gaged to be married, she accepted
his ideal of living far below the
scale which his professional in-

Justice Brandeis' mind was
never more swift or more rime
than today on his aeventy-fifth
birthday. His conversation ranges
from the time of classic history, of
trade routes and the sources of
food supply of Egypt, Rhodes and
Attica, to the affairs of today. He
has always been an immense
worker; but when the day's work

A little boy who was entered
on the waiting list and was told
to come in two weeks made his
appearance every day at the
school. Ile stationed himself in
the corridor and waited. His
tiresence attracted the attention
of the principal, who one day
said to him: "Sonny, why do
you wait here?" Ile replied:
'I am waiting, you know."
'For whom are you waiting?"
"I amon the waiting list and
was told to wait two weeks. I
have already waited three
days."
The youngster, noticing the
sympathetic glance of the prin-
cipal, gained more courage and
continued: "Isn't there any
place for me here? Can't you
just squeeze me in somewhere
in this big building? All my
friends are here. Just look
how tiny I am." And with that
he drew himself together to
show how very little space he

him into an evening conference.
It has been his habit to rise at 5
or 6 o'clock, and even in the sum-
mer to put in some hours of hard
thinking and writing before he
joined his wife for a paddle across
the wide reaches of the bay or up
into narrow inland waters, or lat-
terly for a walk across the moors.
The fierce contests of Justice
Brandeis's youth lie far behind.
As a judge of the court of last re-
sort, he is debarred from taking
part in public contests. But he
does not chafe at the limitations
of his position. An opinion which
plumbs to the depths is worth
making. If it is a minority opin-
ion, it is worth the making all the
same. He was always free from
acrimonious contentions. There is
no criticism of judges who speak
I on the other side. The Lord is in
Israel, one seems to hear him say
—but in imagination only, for his
words are unbuttressed by spoken
, religion. To think problems
through to the far end, to speak
for the right as he sees the right,
that is his greatness. To deal
with justice and courtesy to the

wish to advise that you
do not need to make a
deposit for milk botles
in grocery stores any
more.

WE APPEAL TO
ALL WOMEN

When you make a trip to
your grocer, please take along
your empty milk bottles. By
doing this you will help the in-
dependent creameries and par-
ticularly the United Dairies.

A few of the large creamer-
ies have decided not to require
deposits on bottles. This
change was made with the pur-
pose in view of cutting off as
much business as possible from
the independents.
Should the milk market be
taken over by the powerful in-
terests, the price of milk will
be increased at least two or
three cents a quart. In fact,
milk is being sold in other cities
for 16 and 18 cents a quart.

We sell only high-test milk.
