cal dynasties.
It is not moti-
vated solely by economic rival-
ries. It is a far-flung death-
struggle between democracy and
autocracy. Pending the out-
come, humanity's hopes hang in
the balance. If autocracy were
to win, once again we should
see the dark ages. When de-
mocracy finally triumphs, the
gains of 2,000 years of effort
shall have been preserved.

The far-sighted business man is
aware that Life Insurance is one
of the safest investments in the
world. Through Great-West pol-
icies, the future of his family can be provided for,
and he can safeguard his business against emer-
gencies. The Great-West Life offers a policy for
every person and purpose.

In thin contest the Jewish peo-
ple and their homeland occupy a
deeply symbolic significance. The
Jewish people, perhaps more than
any other minority group, are the
victims of the brutality, the arro-
gance and the ignorance which
the enemies of democracy dis-
play. If democracy fails dark
clouds hang over the future of
Judaism. So long as democracy
lasts the identity and distinction
of the Jewish race will be main-
tained.
Palestine, under present con-
ditions, is more than a harbor
for oppressed Jews from other
lands. As a small liberty-loving
country, its future depends upon
the good will and good faith of
the large liberty-loving nations.
Palestine tests the sincerity of
these larger nations; tests wheth-
er they have the vision to see
into the future; tests whether
they realize that every far-away

especially got a great kick out
of my Jewish accent, which I
hadn't lost yet. But I proved
an apt pupil, and pretty soon I
was cursing with the best of them.
However, I didn't keep this job
very long. It was hard work,
and I never did think I was cut
out for real labor.
So back I went to my old love,
the drums, and in 1913 I got a
job playing with a second-rate
band in a tiny Chicago cafe. Five
years later I was still beating my
drum there at the same $20 a
week salary that I got when I
started.
Fired by His Brother
I began to get pretty desperate
over my lack of progress, and so
I wrote to my brother, who own-
ed a large cafe in California, and
applied to him for a job. I got
the job, all right, but I didn't
hold it very long . . . I insisted
on leading the band from my
position at the drums.
My brother gave me a real
break by firing me. Because af-
terwards I got an engagement to
play in a famous cafe in Venice,
Calif., where the movie stars as s

LOWEST BUICK

PRICES EVER%

if July is here — there's still
V V plenty of summer ahead, and
plenty of thrills awaiting you es the
driver of a Buick.

tX THAT

There's still time to make the break
from cars that "will do" to a car that
will do things to you.
And there's still time, talking plain
dollars-and-sense, to get a big, modern-
looking, quick-stepping Buick at the
lowest prices in all Buick history.

That means you can buy the great-
powered Buick SPECIAL—with a hun-
dred spirited horsepower in its valve-
in-head straight-eight engine—for less
than you're asked for some sixes!

Why not learn now what it means to
pilot a man-sized car. Get acquainted
with Buick's nimble and satisfying
action—its steady, thrifty, mile-eating
gait. Dress your family in Buick
j)eauty, in this great car's modern, up.
to-the-minute style.

There's everything to gain — so take
advantage of prices that were never
lower on a car built to live up to
Buick's name.

now

Stop yearning for something that's
in your reach—go lake that demonstra-
lion. You'll never regret the buy you
make now—if you buy Buick!

League of Nations' Covenant re-
garded it as "a sacred trust of

the United States 15 years ago
declared in like manner the sen-
timents of the American peon's,.
Two years later, by treaty, we
sanctioned Birtish administration
of Palestine under the Mandate.
Un der these circumstances
Britain's obligation is not only
toward the Jews. She has sign-
ed a compact in the name of de-
mocracy for the benefit of gener-
ations yet to come. Britain can
maintain her faith only by honor-
ing this obligation. America has
the right to expect her to do so.
The American people wherever
possible must help her to do so.
The colonization of Palestine
must be encouraged. The prom-

treatment toward the Jewish peo-
ple. That is the teat of wisdom
and humanity on the part of the
civilized world.

Reform Jews Sponsor
a Preaching Mission

N EW YORK (NCJC) — A
preaching mission of rabbis and
laymen to visit the more than 300
Reform congregations in America
to strengthen the cause of Liberal
Judaism" was authorized by the

executive board of the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations
at its annual meeting here last
week. The board also approved a
budget of more than $200,000 for
the coming year.
An amendment to the union by-
laws making the president and
vice-president of She rabbinical
body ex-ofticio voting members of

the union executive board is ex-
pected to promote better coo, era-

the power to elect two more of Its
members to voting positions on the

Visitors in Thousands at In-
sect Zoo at Conven-
tion Hall

Never before in history have
Michigan insects received the at-
tention given them in the last
week.
For visitors in thousands, from
many parts of the United States,
have called on them in the newly-
opened Michigan Insect Zoo in
Convention Hall, Detroit, to in-
spect them in their glass cages.
Attracting especial attention
have been the clownish black
tumblebugs, the Black Widow
spiders and the big red-and-
brown Cocropia moths. But many
other varieties of Michigan insect
life—walking sticks, dragon flies,
rose beetles, Polyphemus moths,
horned grasshoppers, even mos-
quito wrigglers—have held big
knots of spectators.
The Zoo, at 4807 Woodward
Ave., will be open all summer.
