ADVERSE CONDITIONS
QUICKLY HEAT TIRES
Tests Serve nv Warning to Those
Guilty OF OrcrIoadinE und
Under ffntfOn.

Here are some sermon facts for
drivers who are careless of the re-
suits Of overlooking trucks and un-
determination of tires:
An average sized tire. under proper
Imitation and normal load. reaches
80 n"ratnr" OF 40 degrees +. just
under the tread when run at speed
of - miles per hour. on increasing
this speed 10 - miles per hour, the
driver raises this temperature TO l55
degrees.
Now IL this same tire ia overloaded

reach 100 degrees at II 25-milc speed.
And il will go TO 1870 degrees at IS
miles per hour.
Moreover. il this same tire is run

In solid tires. overlooking and in

noted above for pneumatic tires. y
temperature as high as $50 degrees
has been measured in a solid tire
under adverse conditions.
The tests under which these tenn

he says. proves hard on tires. Its
bouncing about on the road gives
the double effect of skidding and
overloaded.
This caution is particularly ad-
disable If the truck is equipped with
pneumaiacs. Then the temptation to
speed up after delivering load is
greater. since pnoumatics permit
greater speed. But the damage can
also be greater. The practice Is apt
to destroy the tread rubber long
before II has given normal service"

are thes mall majority of free

Take notice, American Jewish
Committee-verbum sapienti
sat-a hint to the wise, etc.
but what WILL be the duties of
the American Jewish Congress
and what are the problems it
will solve? The South is appar-
emily disregarded; the West is
not represented, and even the
great Chicago General West ter
ritory is not recognized-seems
that this is rather a sectional af-
fair, and by the way, who gave
the delegates that were assemb-
led, presumably representing the
organizations that banded to-
gether for the purpose of estab-
fishing a TEMPORARY CON-
GRESS ONLY-who gave these
delegates the permission or the
RIGHT to establish a PERMAN-
ENT CONGRESS? Just where
in does the REPRESENTA-
TIVENESS of the new Congress
lie-but then we evidently be-
long to the older and probably
discarded elements of American
Jewry-and we have no "sayso."
We have serious doubts about
the need and the value of the
permanent Jewish Congress, and
as for the American Jewish Com
mittee, let our Congress friends
desist from saying "Kaddish"

things: "The American Jewish
Congress which has come into

RABBI JOSEPH STOLZ GOES
TO LARGER FIELD.

We are glad to note the fact
that Rabbi Joseph Henry Stolz,
who has been in Corsicana, Texas
for the past two years, has been
elected to the pulpit of the Fort
Smith, Ark. Congregation. DR..
Stolz is an earnest, sincere rab-
bi, who has dedicated his life to
the welfare of Judaism and the
Jews. He has a broad eduation,
having spent sometime in the
graduate department of the Uni
versity of Chicago, where he OBJ
tanned a higher degree in the
Department of History in which
ne was particularly efficient.
Rabbi Stolz leaves Corsicana
with the best wishes of his for
mer congregation, and in these
good wishes, the Monitor, to
which he has been a frequent
contributor, joins. He goes to a
larger field where his power for
good will be the more greatly
felt.

tine. We are not begging for a
political issue-we are begging
for haven of safety for the mil
lions that are being so cruelty
and so mercilessly undone in
Eastern Europe. Give them a
place on which to live, grow, de-
velop themselves industrially,
and prosper, and we will stop
begging. To put Palestine on a
sound economic basis, and to
make those who come there
and they will be thousands, in

that is the mission of the Pales-

it should make. Folks are either
not taking the movement seri-
ously, or else they do not under
stand it. To misjudge the seri-
BUSINESS of the task that has been
undertaken in rehabilitating the
land of our Forefathers-is a Sc
rious mistake, and to undervalue
the work that needs to be done,
is an error of judgment.
The movement to put Pales-
tine upon an independent basis,
has the full and hearty cooper
alton of the best Jewish minds of
the world. The attitude of Eng
land will no doubt in the end,
place Palestine in the position of
offering freedom from tribula-
ton, to the hundreds of thous-
ands who are now sweltering in
the heat of the passion of innane
and destructive prejudices. Let
us not forget that there are very
few spots on the face of the
globe that really want our per-
secuted brethren; let us not for
get that there are many of our
own coreligionists in America,
who feel that we ought to go
mighty slow in having them i'm
migrate here, because we may
not be in a position to assimil-
ate them quickly enough to over
come whatever prejudice is be-
ginning to show itself here
against Jewish immigration.
On the other hand, many ma
lions feel that while a Jew is an
asset,-millions of Jews may not
be, and in the last analysis, Pal
estine is the only place that Of
fers those who leave the land of
their birth and persecution, free
dom and the right to live.
But those in whose hands the
development of Palestine lies,
feel that the country must be de-
veloped so as to to take care of
and absorb those who are to
come and build up the land. For
this kind of commercial and in
dustrial development, money is
needed-and much of it. 1t is
not charity-it is the highest
kind Of philanthropy.
Let narrow partisanship not
blind us to the larger humanitar-
ianism of the Restoration Move
ment. Practical considerations
the nescessity of an asylum for
the prosecuted and oppressed
must impel us to give for Pales-
