CONVENTION HALL
USE IN DEMAND

Officers and directors Of the Wash
is erecting in this city a mammouth
convention hall, were entertained at
luncheon at the Racquet Club by
Robert N. Harper, president of the
corporation, yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Harper told of plans which have
been made as to the various uses of
the convention hall.
Incident to the survey that Presi-
dent Harper gave the officers. 1t de-
veloped that among the many other
uses to which the auditorium will be
put there was one organization now
paying $4,000 per year for adequate
assembly purposes that would pay at
least similar amount In the new
auditorium, where 1t would have twice
the capacity which it's present quar-
ters now afford. This would take up
only eight or nine OF the 365 days in
the year in which the auditorium will
function as a. money maker. This one
on the first mortgage bonds. which
every investor in the auditorium prof.
ect receives, one-half of the SUBJ
scription being for stock and the
other half for bonds which are a
first lien upon the property.
Full Year Assured.
While no attempt was made to
count noses as to the uses of the
auditorium, 1t is estimated upon the
best of authority that practically a
full year of use is assured for the
building.
President Harper and other officers
of the Washington Auditorium Cor
poration have had many tenders made
for the use of the building by not
only national but local organizations.
"I am more than gratifed," said
Col. Harper, with the success of our
efforts to date. We are erecting a.
building of even greater cubical con-
tent than we dreamed of in our
initial plans. With the issue of the
permit this week, there is absolutely
nothing now that can stay the
progress of this great undertaking."
Ross p. Andrews, chairman of the
finance committee, made a report of
the activities of his committee.

and as source of Jewish religious
and spiritual revival.

Without commit ourselves TO
any theory Of Jewish nationality, we
may heartily irdorse the necessity
and the value Of redeeming Palestine.
the cradle of Judaism. the Bible land
of Israel, from the ruins and igno-
rniny into which 1t has fallen in the
past 1000 years. The world stands
ready to right the wrong OF 1000
years ago, when Israel was ruthlessly
expelled from Palestine. The world
has given the Jews the opportunity
of restoring their ancient patrimony
and Of making Palestine again a CEN
ter for religion, learning and civiliza-
tion. Can We stand aside and say we
Will have no part in such restoration?
ut is high time that the many diff
ferenceS in theories, beliefs and prac-
tices that obtain in Jewry be laid
aside, and that all classes and groups
unite upon the main proposition, of
making Palestine a homeland for
Jews and a center for it's religion and
