Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbies

There are many persons throughout
the country who have the impression that
the popular price automobile will be
down tC 500 within a year or two" said
J. A. Ditson, efficiency engineer of De-
troit. Mich, who Is at the New Willard.
II don't know where they get that
Idea" he added but it is a fallacy that
everybody connected with the automo-
bile industry who has any knowledge of
the commercial and industrial world can
easily refute.
Efficiency and mammoth production
have accomplished much to reduce the
price of machines, but it will be COM
mercial genius capable of accomplishing
miracles who will get the standard low
price automobile below $500 in price.
With metals and parts constantly ad-
vancing and labor more and more insist
ent in its demands for a greater proper
ton of the profits, the era Of the 800 ma
chine is beyond the present generation.
In my judgment it is doubtful If the mo-
torcycle will ever reach the century fig
ure, and those individuals who cherish
the idea of getting an automobile for 800
are chasing a rainbow

scholarship and orthodox piety, we
have no doubt as to what their choice
would be. The modern American
rabbi, whose speech, manner and style
are correctly American, would be
their preference
That helps us to understand why
the American young rabbi is such as
he is, far from the type of the scholar
ly rabbi of the old school. It is not
that the Hebrew Union College is
foisting such rabbis on American
young Israel against their will 1t is
because such rabbis are their choice.
1t is because American Jews of the
second generation, not to speak of the
third and fourth, care neither for He
brew learning nor for orthodox piety.
If the rabbi can only preach good
sermon, or deliver a good lecture"
with a correct American accent, and
is a good social mixer and communal
worker, he is very satisfactory. 1t is
case of the supply being in response
to the demand. Our rabbinical COL
leges are turning out the kind of rab-
bis the congregations desire. We
know young rabbis who started on
their career with a considerable fund
of Hebrew knowledge, but who have
lost it in the course of a few years
because of disuse. We fear that the
editor of the American Jewish Chron-
icle does not know the American
Jews of the second generation.

A new measure will be adopted this
year by the trustees of the Jewish Re-
form Temple of Minneapolis, and
that is, to issue free tickets to poor
people who wish to attend services
on New Years Day and the Day of
Atonement. Admission of non-mem-
bers will be by card only.
Formerly strangers were freely adj
mitted to the galleries. Sometimes
the numbers were so large as to over
crowd the allotted space. Many, how
ever, were people who came out of
curiosity, with no intention of joining
in the worship; while those who came
in truly devout spirit could not be
accommodated. The new arrangement
is meant to prevent this. People who
desire to worship, and not merely to
satisfy idle curiosity, will be supplied
with free tickets of admission, if they
cannot afford to pay for them.

EDQ ORlAL
AMERICAN RABBIS AS
CHAPLAINS.

Writing on the matter of supplying
chaplains to American Jewish soldiers
and sailors, the American Jewish
Chronicle in recent issue says: 1--WE
need set of young rabbis who are
rabbis not because they are in the So
called rabbinic business, but who are
pious and learned Jews who can con-
vey to the Jewish soldier the real
Jewish religious message We know,
of course, that such rabbis today come
under the head of yara avis in Amer
lea. :. y. 1t would be outrageous if
the average graduates of the Hebrew
Union College were to be imposed on
our Jewish soldiers as rabbis, etc."
The editor of The American Jewish
Chronicle, of course, has no use for
the average American young rabbi,
who is neither Hebrew scholar, nor
very pious, in the old sense of the
word. And yet if the American Jew
ish soldier and sailor boys were asked
what brand of rabbi they would pre-
fer, the Hebrew scholar with the
necessary appearance of piety but who
lacks that subtle something that we
call the American manner, or the
American young rabbi sans Hebrew

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A Jewish paper is different thing
to different kinds of people. To in
telligent serious-minded Jews, who
wish to keep in touch with Jewish
news and Jewish opinion it is news
paper To Jews to whom, because of
their marano instinct, everything
Jewish is an eye-sore, it is "sheet."
And to gossips, old and young, who
have not enough intelligence to read
anything except the social column, it
is a "shmoos-gazette."

JEWISH REGIMENTS AND
VALOR.

The daily press comments with
satisfaction on the organization in
London of regiment composed en-
tirely of Jews. It seems to believe
that such fighting force, exclusively
Jewish, will remove the occasional,
always baseless SANDER of Jewish
lack of patriotism made by anti-S Sem
ties.
1t will take far more than the for
nation of a Jewish regiment to change
an anti-Semite's prejudice or to con-
vert an anti Jewish heart
The curious difference between the
non Jewish and the Jewish attitude
on Jewish matters is indicated by the
way in which the organization of
Jewish regiment is viewed.
The non Jew and the secular press
imagine it to be a creditable and
praiseworthy thing, while the Jewish
people and the Jewish press, almost
without exception, condemn and disap-
prove of such an action most emphati-
cally.
The logic of the Jewish objection
against Jewish regiment is very
clear, and most convincing.
Either the Jewish people are part
of the citizenship of the country in
which they live, clothed with all the
rights, equalities and obligations that
60 with such citizenship, or else they
are a separate group of aliens and out
siders.
If they are citizens, what excuse
is there outside of religious worship,
for separate classification in distinct
groups or regiments
To think that Jewish patriotism or
valor can be proven or prejudice dis
proven by establishing the Jewish

of anti-Semitism in England. A
coterie of able and influential writer's

attitude of pronounced hostility.
