MISS BRANDETS URGES
ZIONTSM AS MEANS OF
JEWISH RENASCENCE
Daughter of Supreme Court
Justice Addresses Audience
in Behalf of Movement
Here
SEES BIG OPPORTUNITY

The call for preparedness has been is-
sued to the young zionists of Philadelphia
by Miss Susan Brandeis daughter of Su-
prome Court Justice Lous H. Braudcis
THE Jews of the next generation will
have in their hands the opportunity to take
the greatest step toward attaining a eoun-
try for the Jewish people, said Miss Bran
deis
Miss Brandes who was graduated from
Bryn Mawr last year, has been stumptng
the country in the interests of hionisin
since her graduation. Suffrage and Iionism
tours have made of her one of the best
women speakers in the country MISS
Brandeis was one OF the sturdy women TO
walk In the Chicago suffrage parade on
the Wednesday of Republican and Pro-
gressive convention week, In the neVer-%to- 70
be-forgotten rain that kept most OF the
delegates to the convention IN their hotels.
At the Young Mems Hebrew Association
last night Miss Brandcis called the young
mon and women of Philadelphia to the Zion
list colors.
"zionism aims to preserve the Identity OF
the Jews" said Miss Brandes, with
centre of Judaism at Palestine. where jew
ish art, literature and music will be able to
develop where n unified language Will be
used the Jew all over the world will know
that the Jews as n nation are preserving
their individuality"
Miss Brandeis sketched an outline of the
work done by the Zionist movement and It's
development The back-to-the-land move
ment--the first since the earliest days ot
Judaism--has proved a success In Palestine
she said 1.-THE colonists by means of their
handicraft and vineyards. have made them
selves sef.supporting and the art school the
Bezaliel has made it's influence felt the
world over" the speaker asserted.
"There have been artists OK Jewish birth,
but there never has been a Jewish art
Miss Braudeis said. But at Palestine 1t is
slowly developing. Eventually we hope
there will he a Jewish art as definite and
as individual as the art of any other ma
tion.
MANY Jews the world over will prefer
to stay in the country in which they are now
living" Miss Brandeis added But to know
that somewhere there is "a nation of Jewish
people that there is a centre of pure Jewish
culture will keep the Jew from being as
simulated and thereby losing his identity
That the Jew today is in danger of losing
his identity In the many countries In which
he Is scattered was the contention OF Miss
Brandeis and the other speakers. To pre-
serve his Judaism. to offer him, II he de-
slres the opportunity to get a Jewish edu-
cation, to have a centre in which the Ian
guage of the people is Hebrew-in short, to
make a nationality of a nation, Is the OBJ
ject of the Zionists of all countries, the au-
dience was told by this youthful exponent.
Miss Brandeis will also speak at the
luncheon to be given on Monday by the
Hadassah. an organization of Jewish women
numbering about 1900.

swung his foot for the cowardly kick. The
degraded dator stood erect and motionless
as a carven image. He was prepared to
take whatever his former comrades had to
offer in the way of insults and reproaches,
and take them in manly silence and stoi
cism
But as Thurids foot swung, so did mine,
and l caught him a painful blow upon the
shinbone that saved Xodar from this added
ignomny.
For a moment there was tense silence
then Thurd, with roar of rage sprang
for my throat, just as Xodar had upon the
deck of the cruiser The results were iden-
teal 1 ducsed beneath his outstretched
arms, and as he lunged past me planted
terrific right on the side of his jaw.
The big fellow spun round like top, his
knees gave beneath him, and he crumpled
to the ground at my feet
The blacks gazed in astonishment, first
at the still form of the proud dator lying
there in the ruby dust of the pathway then
at me as though they could not believe that
such a thing could be.
you asked me to bind Thurid !" cried
Behold !" And then I stopped beside the
PROSTATE form, tore the harness from it,
and bound the fellows arms and legs
securely.
"As you have done to Xodar, now do
you likewise to Thurid. Take him before
Issus bound in his own harness, that she
may see with her own eyes that there be
one among you now who is greater than
the First Born"

Harry. One day his mother sent him on
an errand. While he was on his way 20
the store he met an old lady, who asked him
to carry basket OF apples She said she
would give him two cents. Harry did not

old lady's house she gave him two cents
and an apple He started on his own er.
rand then and II was about supper time,

Cleaning Automobile Lamps.

Much Of the efficiency OF the electric
or parabola lamp depends upon the
cleanliness Of the retiectors. says the
Automobile Dealer and l;epairer. As
a rule, the reficctors are silver plated
and highly polished. They require diff
ferent treatment from the gas head
lights. as the latter are of glass and are
not MS easily scratched. II the electric
headlight becomes dirty do not wipe 1t.
but employ stream OF cold water to
displace the dust or dirt AMI permit
the surface TO dry by the air.
II the refectors become dull after
continued service they can be partially
restored by using soft chamois. with
red rouge or crocus. This material
should be used spnringly. and the
channels must be soft as we'll us free
from wrinkles. Place a wad Of cotton
about the size OF an egg within the
chamois. This will afford smooth
surface for wiping.
When properly used crocus will not
scratch the silver plate. Moisten the
channels with alcohol. then apply the
crocus to the channels. Press very
lightly and wipe with rotary motion

The Alaska mining industry as a
whole was more prosperous in 1915
than in any previous year. This Is In
dictated by the value Of the total min
eral output. which is estimated to have
been $32.OOO.OOO. compared with $780,
O64.063 for 1914 The highest value
for any previous year was in 1906.
when Alaska produced $23,31s, 42S
worth Of minerals, but this was ut a
time when the bonanza placers OF Fair
banks and Nome were yielding their
greatest returns. says a United States
geological survey bulletin. The high
value Of the mineral output in 1915
was due in large measure to the extra
ordinary amount Of copper that was
mined. Preliminary estimates indi-
cate this to be S3.sJ0OOO pounds. val
ued at $14.4OO.0OO.

As we understand it-and surely
there Is no possibility Of too clear in
formation upon the subject-there are
two kinds of dangerous gases incident
to running the automobile. carbon d.
oxide and carbon monoxide. snys the
Automobile Dealer and Repairer. Car
bon dioxide is a nonsupporter of life.
and. although not In the strict sense
a poisonous gas, to remain In an at
mospherc Of It for any length Of time
would be likely to prove fatal. Thus
1t is that to stay in the vicinity Of the
exhaust even for a little while and
where 1t cannot be dissipated quickly

of Incomplete combustion and is far
