Jesus said Serve ye your masters, not for joy of reward but for the very service.'
 "A business. profession. religion or home that is founded on lack of faith cannot bring happiness or bring us to that ultimate goal which we all hope to reach.
 Young People All Right
 The Golden Rule is the basis of Christianity. All the Bible and Apocrypha are commentaries. If we were to think of this thing at all times war and robbery would be i'm possibilities Murder and theft would fall away.
 Flask on the hip and flappers on the knee would straighten them selves out. I have no fear for the young people today. It is those who are much older for whom I fear. They are the ones who create con- ditions that make it difficult for the younger ones. Let old men and women realize that this code be- longs to us as men and women.
 Tn our clubs and newspapers we talk and print about brotherly love and religious tolerance. Yet we still have hated Protestants,' hated Catholics and damned Jews Let us use these things in our private life as we'll as our public life. Let us do away with racial prejudice" !"

Whats wrong with the jewelry business?" was the subject of MT. Doyle's address at the banquet in evening.
 Mir. Doyle sprung a sensation at this time by saying that he was going to launch. June I, at the cost of $50.O00. . Jewellers Better Business association" in which . total of 1900 Jewellers would be invited to join. He said there would be no dues or no expense to the jewellers. but only those who had proven themselves to be of the highest type would be Invited to join. Jewellers will be required to be strictly ethical and to read and study to keep themselves abreast of the advances in business at all times. One of the things this as- sociation hopes to do is to mako the unethicai wholesaler and man. ufacturing salesman cut out unfair tactics. He said President Thomp- son of the American Newspaper association reported his organiza- tion would back the movement.
 Another inovation the jewelry publisher plans is to try and have jade substituted for topaz as the birthstone for October. This plan was given the endorsement of the meeting last night. Topaz is said to be an unpopular stone.

 The outstanding addresses of the convention were three made by Bartley J. Doyle, Philadelphia mill lionaire. Mr. Doyle is the editor and publisher of the Keystone magazine. which IS devoted to the interests of the jewelry industry.
 In the afternoon Mr. Doyle spoke on organization problems and strongly urged the Jewellers to show . greater spirit of progressiveness. When I'm too busy to go to a con- vention I'll know something is radi- cally wrong" he said. He said that while 1t Is true the jeweler has new CT advertised enough. being in a class with doctors and lawyers in that respect, it is not true that they are the worst business men in the world.
 No Use For Obsolete Customs

 There was considerable discussion of unfair competition, such as price cutting retailers. manufacturers selling direct to consumers and oi jewellers who handle inferior goods Jewellers should refuse to sell alarm clocks. he continued. Tn the olden days jeweler would sell alarm clocks. He would cuss its lead pinions, which warped or fell out. so homo and beat his wife. refuse to speak to his children or use language which would cause them to throw him out of the Holy Name society and then would con- tinue to sell the clocks for no other reason than because he made a pro- fit on them"
 Fortune in Diamonds Displayed
 Brief addresses were given in the afternoon by Joseph H. Moves of New York, secretary of the Jewel- CTS Security Alliance: H. L. Co., burn Of New Hampshire. vice. president of the American National Retail Jewellers association. and Frank NJ. Todd of Bridgeport. MT. Todd gave a demonstration of a new lighting plan for the display of jewelry in a window. using a collec- ton of diamonds loaned by Mir Dyson, which was valued at more than s3o.0o0.
 sturman F. Dyson made a report as delegate to the last national convention in Philadelphia.
 The members voted to advance their annual dues from s10 to $15. Rabbi Hadas Speaks at Banquet
 At the banquet in the evening Rabbi Gershon Hadas spoke on the jewellers code of ethics. He quoted familiar phrase that New York is a good place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there," and added that many people believe the same things of codes of ethics. churches and synagogues. "We build our religious convictions and codes of ethics along the same lines," he said.
 Our religion Is about the same thing. We have the 10 Command ments, which is a. code of ethics. Jesus taught number of things that are being codified and rightly so. We believe these things but when it comes to l2htful action we keep them to look a. Religion and God become to us formula for an hour on Sunday. For the rest of the week it is an oath and little more.
 "A7code of ethics is a step in the right direction by businessmen everywhere"
 Rabbi Hadas pointed out that the first craftsmen in ancient times were jewellers and ''cunning workers in fine metals and precious stones." He said they worked not for gain but for the glory of doing a thing we'll and because of this their work still remains and can be seen in mu- seums. He said one individual can not decide what Is for the best good of the community and for that req son organization is necessary.
 We can carry things for our selves, better if we are organized" he said. "We are dependent and in- ter-dependent upon each other. The way we live our personal lives di- hn xryo, oil disc.
 T have seen many men who were perfectly honest in business deal ings. who do not mind cheating and lying in other circumstances.
 "This proposition of doing bus mess with God Almighty or among yourselves simply for the hope of a reward Is not the reason we are here. In the ethics Of the fathers,

body appears to patroniZe the play
houses and IL production proves
worthy, the legitimate theater easily
holds its own with the movies. The
city is crowded with good looking
girls, all appearing to have talent OF
some sort. Carroll was directly re-
sponsible for three girls getting pic
ture engagements with picture pro-
ducers, who saw them in rehearsal.
The picture men outbid Carroll,
whose only revenge was to give the
young women valuable advice as to
how to make the most advantageous

sonal experiences. For 13 years he
