But during the summer they had been

Detroit Is Sure to Hear
and Heed This Appeal for
the Suffering Jews

The effort being made by certain Jews
of Detroit to raise S250,00O with which
to aid tpe Jewish war sufferers in Poland
and Russia is so worthy a one that il
must prove an irresistible pull on the
heart strings and purse strings Of the
entire Jewish community.
Deprived of their natural heritage, the
land. by the intolerance Of the early
Christians, these remarkable people. thru
persistent and tireless effort, learned the
science of finance and in a few short
centuries became the money lenders Of
the world.
The bond which held them together
thru 10 centuries has been a spiritual
bond and. therefore, there is no material
thing which has power to sever il.
This strong tie. based upon religious
belief. has operated steadily to make of
the Jewish race one huge family, no
member Of which was allowed to suffer

The Casuistries of Affection
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE -
Copyright. 1915 by Frank Crans)

Somewhere ] have seen that phrase
which keeps coming into my mind. like
an insistent book agent "the casuistries
OF affection.
A easuistry. | suppose, is sort of
harmless. genteeI, and excusable lie, one
of this, many moral paradoxes in which
good people find themselves now and
then entangled. For in the practical
give-and-take dealings those who wish 10
avoid causing pain must have their
moralities bit flexible. Human hearts
cannog be handled like chunks of steel nor
always managed by rigid mathematics.
There are. for instance, many grades
of lies, and not all of them wicked The
story of Little Red Ridinghood is not lit
orally true. nor any novel or tale. Even
the parallels Of Jesus arc not statements
of fact
\ real poison he seems to be one
which IS told with the intent to deceive,
or which has the effect of inducing its
nearer to believe false thing to be true.
All gentefolks are-let us not say
liars, but casuSts
The Colonel Newcome that Sir Herbert
Tree has recently so excellently portray
ed for theatergoers. an old school gentle
man. had the fine art of not seeing GER
tain facts; and isn't that what consti-
tutes a gentleman. a natural inability or
refusal TO understand baseneSs?
The adoring wife may know well
enough that her husband is a weak in
efficient second rater. but she Loyalty de-
clines to admit it, and lies CALAMITY to
herself 70 him, and to everybody. She
has made up her mind that he is ideal.
and this conviction she supports with un-
failing casuistry.
In fact, few married couples could get
along if they dealt only in the rough
stuff Of truth
And Of course every lover is casuist.
What also are the courtesies Of polite
society and all the arts of pleasing, as
practsed by people Of good manners, but
casuistry? How. indeed, could we get
along at all with certain people if We did
not glaze over their faults shut our eyes
to their obvious shortcomings, and re-
fuse to notice their gaucheries?
Even certain reIgionists who persist
in seeing good in everything and ignore
evil and pain, are they not ingenious
casuists in a good cause?
It's all in the way you choose your
words. Far be it from me to lie, cheat
or swindle yet if We did not fib little,
and wink, and prudently conceal. would
not any given dinner party break up in
row?
For what man is there who does not
1 like to have woman say he's handsome.
even though he knows he's not, and she
knows it. and he knows she knows IT, and
she knows ne knows she knows it?
Still, if we must lie let US lie like gem
tlemen. SO that they may say use non
vero ben trovato" IF It's not true
It's well conceived.
