New York. Oct. The Little
Ssnhedrim." or Jewish Court OF Ar
bitration, set up in this city is
bound to serve as a persuasive eX-
ample well worth the attention of
members of all races preyed upon
by those who profit through pro-
noting litigation and stimulating
their continuance.
The first charm of the Little
Sanhedrim" is that IL is a feeless
court. You don't pay a cent for
justice, directly or indirectly. 1t
has been in operation eight months.
Let Louis Richmsn. of 3S Park Row,
executive secretary of this novel
adventure, tell of its workings.
More than 800 cases have been
tried in our court" he said. There
are from IS to 100 cases pending
The time that has been saved to lit
igants is incalculable in dollars and
cents. Our Justice is immediate
Inasmuch as both sides to a con-
troversy bind themselves in a con-
tract to abide by the decision there
are no appeals"
Only Three Judges.
The sanhedrim OF ancient times
was composed of seventy pudges
This modern Jewish court has only
three judges-one a lawyer. one q
rabbi, and one business man.
Only cases that have relation to
the religious faith are taken to this
court; for instance, an action to re-
cover a membership in a synagogue.
an action to obtain possession OF a
holy scroll, an action to get a death
beneht paid from a church associa-
tion, etc.
The initial step is for the per-
son with the grievance to submit
his claim in writing to me" said
Mr.. Richman. Il decide II II comes
within the religious scope of the
court. II so. both sides arc willing
to stand by the courts decision.
then the case goes upon the cat
endar. An illustration Of the ben
efit--to recover membership in a
synagogue in the established courts
at law often takes several years
and costs at least $3.50 for a lawyer.
We get the decision in twenty min
utes and for nothing"

ming Sun writes. In the region OF
Caddo oil drillers have discovered that
bits of the drills show evidences of in
tense heat within $500 feet Of the
surface, and the heat at that depth is
sufficient to discharge shots Of nitro
glycerin without the use of fulml
ting cap.
A popularity OF the Ranger field In
Stephens county is the number Of ere
vases encountered In drilling through
the black lime. These crevasses are
filled more or less with oil-yielding
sand and when this sand is "shot"
the flow of petroleum rushes to the
surface. Whether this rush is aided
by the subterranean heat Is problem
atlcal, but ii Is believed that the heat
has a great deal to do with the rush
of the oil.

The brightest light and one Of the

GOT FACTS SLIGHTLY MIXED
representative Osborne Evidently Had
Not Taken Keen Notice Of POSI-
ton of Sherman Statue.

One Of the best speeches in the
house in years came from Represents
tive Osborne of California the day OF
the Pershing parade, says the Los An
geles Times. Having been one Of the
soldiers who marched up Pennsylva-
war for final review by General
Sherman, he was able to draw beau
tiful and striking contrast with the
return of the veterans Of 1919.
At one point in the address the rep
reSentatiye spoke feelingly OF how
Sherman, at the head of the column,
at Fifteenth street and PENNSYLVANIA
avenue had turned on his horse and
looked back at the advancing yeter-
ans.
Thus" said Mr.. Osborne, "the fig
ure of Sherman, cast in bronze, sits to-
day at the head of Pennsylvania ave
nue., as he sat that day more than tif-
ty years ago"
The reference to the Sherman statue
aroused great interest and many were
the pilgrimages made to the statue
within the next few days to see how
Sherman looked gazing down the ave
nue.. But horror of horrors 1t de-
yeloped that Sherman was looking not
toward the advancing column, but to-
ward the White House, which stands
In an opposite direction.
Now Osborne is looking for the man
who placed it thus.

Booze Is Not a Good Cure.

From the Ames Iowa Intelligencer
When man comes to you all

will die in your presence unless you
procure him a drink of whiskey, send
him to doctor or else give him a
dose of Chamberlain's Collie and Diar-

notion among a whole lot of people
that booze is the best remedy for collie
and stomach ache.

Why BrunswickTres
Win Preference

There are two main reasons one the name ITSELF
which certfes super6ne value-the other, that time
tells the same story.
Thus reputation and performance unite in giving
you all you expect-and more.
Yet Brunswicks cost no more than 1ke-type tires
Many motorists would pay readily, but the
Brunswick idea is to GIVE the utmost rather han
to GET the utmost And this has been true since 1845
You can appreciate what Brunswick Standards mean
by trying ONE Brunswick Tire. It will be reve-
laton. You'll agree that you could not buy better,
regardless of price
And, like other motorists, you'll decide to have
ALL Brunswicks. Then you'll know supreme salts

trouble, lower cost.

LET us introduce in our municipal
government the spirit and the quick
and efficient action that won the war,"
Mr.. Roth said, pleading for more co
operation and less isolation Of the vari-
Gus departments.

"Under this bureau will come a di-
vision for work among aliens. another

with women and children and still an
other to help provide accommodations
for strangers in the city"
A Serious Problem
This last problem was declared by
Mr.. Roth to he very serious one /.

such an institution, with students of

final plea of Mr.. Roth.
Mr.. Moore then got up, and in his
address he took occasion to compliment
Germantown on owning so fine u con

the Mayor pointed out. had Just re :
ceived the appointment to the steering

that he and Mayor Moore were not in
harmony.

Mr.. Keeling urged that the world get

to them.
"The administration cannot accept
the rivalry of contractor bosses nor
can it stand for leadership that toll
crates the vicious practices that have
hitherto cursed or municipal life.
If the old BOSSES continue to in
terfere with the administration, they
will have to reckon with the people.
To Support Max Aaron
The Martin announcement which
brought forth Mayor Moore's reply was
a refusal to recognize the Mayors lead =
crship in Philadelphia. Senator Mar
tin said that he and Mr.. Lane would
continue to be loyal to the Republican
organization and, in stating that he
would not seek re election to the state
Senate. would support Max Aron. a
Lane lieutenant in the Twentieth ward.
Mayor Moore and Sheriff Lamberton
have reached definite agreement, it
was learned today. to combine all the
forces which won the rhayoralty fight
for continued battle against the
Wares.
Further, the agreement proposes that
the Wares shall not be recognized by
Lamberton. except in their capacity as
ward leaders.
On this basis the leaders of the In :
dependents, Sheriff Lamberton and
George w. Coles, chairman of the
Town Meeting party, and Thomas w.
Cunningham, president of the Republi
can Alliance. will assist the Mayor in
his determination to maintain his posi-
tion as titular leader of the Republican
party in Philadelphia.

they can do is to harass and annoy
Mayor Moore and his friends, but at
tremendous cost.
1t has, therefore. finally been decided
in view of the persistent opposition of
the Wares. to eliminate the whole brood
OF disloyal officeholders. Those who
prefer to take their stand beside Sen
ator Ware and Senator Martin can abide
by the result. They must look to these
gentlemen for political preferment and
future position.
UP to the present, the administration
has contented itself with issuing warn
lngs to those who desired to go along
with the administration to fall in.
Time has now come for action. The
places held by anti Moore men are re-
quired for loyal supporters of the new
administration. From now on q gen
eral mopping up will take place.
