What Jewish hospital in New York only admits a limited number
of Jewish girls to its school for nurses, taking the position that Jew-
ish girls make bad nurses? Holding that Jewish girls are inclined to
be insubordinate.—If you may believe Benjamin de Casseres, a
collateral descendant of Spinoza, what the world needs is not com-
munism or any other ism, but a long sleep of about a thousand years
—a return to the Middle Ages.—Jewish Poet P. M. Raskin has
written his 2,500th poem.—By fast steamer and flying from Lon-
don you can now make the trip to Palestine in some seven days.

PETER AGAINST REPEATERS
A bachelor was being urged the other day, at a little round table
gathering, to forsake the paths of the single and embrace matri-
mony. "It is never too late to marry—what's the hurry?" quizzed
the bachelor. "Look at Lord Reading—he just married for the
second time at the age of 72."
"Yes," interjected a female friend, "but If you marry now, you
will still have the chance of marrying again, like Lord Reading."
"No," said the bachelor. "Ever hear the story of the man who
went to the other world? 'You must go to purgatory,' St. Peter told
him. 'But, Saint,' said the man, '1 was married.'
" 'Oh, if that's the case, you needn't go to purgatory—you have
already been there—you can go into heaven right away.'
"'Thanks, Saint,' said the man. 'Yes, I was married—in fact,
I was married twice.'
" 'What!' exclaimed Peter, 'married twice, ehl You can't go to
heaven, then, we won't stand for any fools in heaven.'"
Fannie Hurst's Great Picture to
Come to Detroit Soon.
•
HOLLYWOOD.—The "Humor-
esque" of sound pictures has been
made. Oddly enough, like that
classic of the silent days, it is
from .'story by Fannie Hurst. In
"Symphony of Six Million" Greg-
ory La Cava has followed in the
footsteps of Frank Borzage in
painting another masterly portrait
of the ghetto, spawning spot of
genius and graveyard of strug-
gling, perspiring millions. The
development of sound pictures has
made it possible to articulate this
story in its telling. To that ex-
tent, at least, it is even more mov-
ing than "Humoresque," and
shows the Jew in more favorable
light than any previous talking
production.
"Symphony of Six Million" has
that all too rare combination: a
deeply human story, powerful
drama, natural comedy, inspired
direction and unusually perfect
casting. And the Radio people
who are responsible for underlay-
ing it throughout with a splendid
musical score have pointed the
way which may be followed with
profit by others. It was composed
and directed by Max Steiner, and
as an example of thematic music
is worthy of study.
RESPONSE PLEASES
CITRIN AND KOLB
Fisk Tire Dealers Gratified With
Results of Announcement in
The Chronicle.
Jack Citrin and Nathan KO
of the Citrin-Kolb Co. stated this
week that they were highly grati-
fied with the results of the an-
nouncement in last week's Detroit
Jewish Chronicle that their com-
pany has been appointed agents
for the Fisk Tire Co.
The Citrin-Kolb Co. main head-
quarters are at 14480 Livernois,
corner Lyndon, telephone Univer-
sity 2-0600, and convenient Citrin-
Kolb service stations are located

phone Arlington 2122-W; Fenkell,
corner Dexter, telephone Univer-
sity 2-9570; Linwood, corner
Rochester, Telephone Garfield
5630-W.
Messrs. Citrin and Kolb stated
that due to the purchase of sev-
eral carloads of Fisk tires, their
company is prepared to sell them
at very low prices and to meet any
competition in Detroit. They state
that these tires are brand new, of
first quality, each having a factory
guarantee.
In a statement these well-known
tire dealers said:
"The new Fisk line of tires is
the result of a third of a century
of factory research and investiga-
tion.
"In the late 90's—before the
days of the automobile—the name
of Fisk was nationally known as
a manufacturer of qualtiy bicycle
tires.
"With the introduction of the
automobile Fisk continued to
manufacture only a quality prod-
uct. Consumer satisfaction has
always been its watchword."

ONE ON JOHN BULL
His lordship, by the way, tells a good one about the English cap-
ture of Jerusalem during the World War. It will be remembered that
the English entered the Holy City on Christmas eve. For those who
are not conversant In all details with the New Testament, let it be
said that there Is a reference in the New Testament to the shepherds
talking of the coming of Christ as they watched their flocks on the eve
of Christ's birth. Now to the story.
The chaplain of the English armies naturally made the most of
the entry of the British to Jerusalem on Christmas eve. Assembling
the troops, he recounted the various armies that have taken Jeru-
salem during the course of history, from the Romans down.
"And now," said the chaplain, beaming in conclusion, "how fitting
that we British should enter Jerusalem on the eve of Christmas."
Among the troops was a southerner from the United States, who
had joined the British legion. "Well," he drawled out, "I reckon the
shepherds will surely have to watch their flocks tonight."

PALESTINE TELLS ONE
And from way off Palestine itself cornea a contribution of a story,
in which I am disappointed, not because it is not good, but it seems
to me to be the old Diaspora sort of Jewish joke. I expect Palestine
Jewry to give us a better type of joke, but here it goes, anyway.
In the course of an auction sale, the business was interrupted by a
whispered conversation between the auctioneer and one of the pros-
pective bidders. At the conclusion, the master of ceremonies
announced:
"A gentleman present tells me that since proceedings started in
this room, he has lost a wallet containing five hundred pounds. He
authorizes me to state that he offers • reward of fifty pounds for its
return."
There was a short silence, and then Goldstein, who was sitting in
the crowd, nodded his head to the auctioneer and said:
"Slaty."

A FOREIGN ACCENT
There is a good story they are telling, by the way, about a certain
New York rabbi who sought a position.
This poor fellow, whom we shall call Rabbi Samuelstein because
that is not his name, besides being out of a job, spoke with • for-
eign accent, and he was very much afraid that this would prevent
him from getting a job.
"What is the chance of a rabbi with a foreign accent getting a
post when so many who speak the language, according to Hoyle, can-
not get one?" So the rabbi reasoned.
Well, one day the rabbi received an invitation to preach a trial ser-
mon at some congregation in Brooklyn. The rabbi worked hard on
that sermon. One of the sentences read: "If the Jew will adhere
to his faith, he will reach the pinnacle of his glory."
Well, I told you, that rabbi spoke with an accent, and when he
pronounced his own sentence, it was like this: "If the Jew will
adhere to his faith, he will reach the pinochle of his glory."
The congregation as a whole was not too profoundly versed in
English, but this sentence seemed less vague to them than the rest
of the sermon. "He plays pinochle," they whispered one to another.
they elected him.

MARTHA AND MRS. BLOOM
Asked where she went last summer, Mrs. Sol Bloom, wife of Con-
gressman Sol Bloom, who is chairman of the George Washington Bi-
Centennial celebration, replied that she had remained in Washington.
"We didn't go anywhere. I figured out that if Martha Washing-
ton could stick it out here with General Washington, I could stick it
out here with Sol."
So Mrs. Bloom is quoted by the Washington correspondent of the
New York Vo'old-Telegram.
We hate to correct a lady, but Mrs. Bloom should read more of
the literature that the committee which her husband heads is publish-
ing. She will find, if she does, that Martha Washington never stuck
it out with George in Washington, that the capital of the country
when George Washington was president was New York.

of cars for three out of the past five years—
now takes pleasure in announcing substantial
price reductions on the new Chevrolet Six.
These reductions are being announced on
the eve of the National Exhibits of General
Motors Products which, opening tomorrow
In the leading cities of the country, will fea-
ture special displays of various Chevrolet
models.
The revised scale of Chevrolet prices now
starts with a base price of $445, f. o. b. Flint,
Michigan. This is the lowest figure at which
a Chevrolet passenger car has ever sold.
QUALITY WILL BE MAINTAINED
The new Chevrolet Six is the same well-
known product that was introduced to the
public only a short time ago—and imme-
diately won such a wide following. It offers
you the built-in smoothness, quietness and
flexibility that can be achieved along with
maximum economy only in a six-cylinder en-
gine. It offers that matchless driving com-
bination—silent, non-clash Syncro -Mesh
gear-shifting combined with Free Wheeling.
If offers big, spacious Fisher bodies—styled
gracefully long and low—and built of wood
and steel—the same construction used on
practically all high-priced cars today. It
offers the same modem spring construction
used in costly cars—four long, semi-elliptic
springs, mounted parallel to the frame, and
equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers.
In addition, the new Chevrolet Six pos.
sesses the same basic design and construction
that millions of Chevrolet owners have
proved in billions of miles of service. Its
dependability, durability and economy are
known quantities.

AND DRIVE IT TODAY
In making this announcement of new
lower prices—Chevrolet issues an important
statement of policy:
Chevrolet will keep on building a six.
Our recently announced "six" has met with
such widespread approval that it is our
intention to continue with a six-cylinder
engine.
Chevrolet pioneered the six in the field of
low priced automobiles, and today Chevrolet
is more than ever convinced that a six-cyl-
inder engine is the ideal type for a car of
lowest price. The six is the one type of en-
gine that strikes a perfect balance of smooth
performance and maximum economy.
With anything less than a nix, motoring
enjoyment is sacrificed.- For it is a well
known engineering fact that six cylinders are
the fewest that can be used in a car and avoid
inherent vibration. And with anything more
than six cylinders, Chevrolet's unexcelled
economy would be sacrificed. Chevrolet has
proved that a six-cylinder motor can be engi-
neered to operate at lower cost than any other
type. And Chevrolet is committed to the
policy of providing the utmost in motoring
enjoyment that can be secured along with
economy of operation.
Before deciding on any new low-priced
automobile—read over Chevrolet's new re•
duced prices, and compare them with the
prices of any other cars in Chevrolet's field.
Compare what you get for every dollar
that you pay. Then, you cannot fail to
recognize the significant fact that the
Chevrolet Six is now, more than ever, the
great American value.
