DETROIT, A NOTORIOUSLY
poor basketball city, will be given
another opportunity to snap out
of its lethargy. Though determined
to put professional basketball on a
profitable basis here, promoters
have met with
dismal success
thus far.
They are re-
solved to keep
pitching, how-
ever, and that
is why Wed-
nesday, Feb. 12,
will be a red
letter day for
Olympia attrac-
Hons.

Jewish and Negro fans particu-
larly will have a good reason to
make the Grand River arena a
stop that night .In addition to the
Detroit Falcon-Providence game,
the Negro New York Renaissance
will be pitted against the Jewish
Philadelphia Sphas.
Both teams, powerhouses in by-
gone days, still pack that lethal
punch. Although many former
Spha players are now with other
pro quints, such names as Laut-
man, Opper, Klotz and Davis still
grace the Philly roster. Newcom-
ers include Mendy Snyder, former
Temple ace, and Stanley Brown,
17-year-old, who quit high school
to play professionally.
The Sphas were originally
known as the 'Philadelphia He-
brews. • • • •

NEW YORK—Charging that the
British "are largely responsible"
for the adverse criticism that has
been heaped upon their govern-
ment's Palestine policy In this
country, Dr. Carl Herman Voss,
chairman of the executive council
of the American Christian Pales-
tine Committee, took issue with
the complaints of a prominent
British churchman that Great Bri-
tain was being unjustifiably at-
tacked in the United States for its
policies in the Holy Land.

Dr. Voss, who is also extension
secretary of the Church Peace
Union and World Alliance for In-
ternational Friendship through the
Churches, made his response to
the British spokesman in an ar-
ticle in the Feb. 1 issue of "The
Churchman."
"Our British friends should real-
ize that they are largely respon-
sible for the state of mind which
prevails in America today. It is
not enough to find fault with the
results emanating from a given
cause. The cause itself is, I be-
lieve, the very core of the prob-
lem," Dr. Voss wrote.
"How do you expect us to react
to the policy which seeks to ap-
pease the Arabs at the cost of
honor and integrity? We know
how much and how willingly the
Jews of Palestine sacrificed in the
war. We know that they created
an 'arsenal for democracy' in the
Middle East. We know too, the
part that the Mufti and other
Hitler hirelings played in pro-
moting the vicious doctrines of
the Nazis.
"Can you, in the light of these
facts, not understand why we are
inclined to be extremely critical
of your colonial policy and the
people who seek to carry it out?"
Dr. Voss queried.

WHEN EDISON SHOCKED THE

FRENCHMEN...

When the committee of a noted French scientific society,
splendid in cutaways and silk toppers, called at Menlo
Park to present the society's medal, Edison was engaged
in an important experiment. He was dirty, perspiring
and shirtless. After much persuasion and without dress-
ing, he took off just enough time to accept the medal
and express his appreciation of the honor.

Like all truly great men, Mr. Edison hated sham and
pretense. He was always as natural as an old shoe.
He could laugh at himself and admit himself wrong.

He was honored by the entire civilized world, yet on one occasion he
refused an award because it required his wearing a sash.

"You have to have dirt on your hands to get along with the Old Man,"
one of his laboratory employees taunted a white-collar worker. And
another summed him up with "He ain't got no side—he ain't got no front

—he's just a genius."

He was a man idolized and eulogized by millions. He could walk with

kings—yet he kept the common touch.

Today, as we approach the centennial of his birth, we are proud that
our company, like many other independent electric companies, bears the

name of this great American.
