1911 ARMY. OnleSS we have a
Jewish Army not only is General
Auchinleck headed for defeat blt
zionism itself is lost forever. On
the other hand, why should we
organize the youth of Palestine
for Jewish Army inevitably to
be taken out of Palestine, when.
as a matter of fact, the salvation
of the Jewish National Homeland
depends upon Jewish self-defense
in Palestine. Keep the boys at
home and let them fight nowhere
else.
In shore, if you are in the civil
ian fight behind the fighting
front, you have to qualify as an
obstinate partisan. There is no
middle ground. If you want to
be heard, the thing to do is to
work yourself up into an unre-
strained excitement, one way or
the other, and refuse to be Gained
down. The moment you show
signs of being reasonable, you
will be counted out. Beware of
the weakness of attempting to
find a common denominator or a
formula to adjust differences.
Agreement destroys the fighting
spirit. Any agreement is softness,
and softness is appeasement. Ac-
cording to any definition, all of
us must be unbalanced. Ration
atty is taboo, and anybody who
aims at considered conclusion"
is a Fifth Columnist.
But this cannot go on forever.
You will know that the storm has
begun to subside when a glimmer
of temperatures begins to pene-
trate the babel of discussion, when
it will be possible for "still,
small voice" to be heard. The
first evidence of the dawn will be
spot of light in the darkness =
an island of calm and quiet, ris-
ing out of the tumult. 1t is upon
the return of light that the des-
tiny of the human race depends,
and light begins with the return
of old habits, sober determination,
confidence and faith. The Mystics
in Jerusalem are searching the
night for the appearance of the
Star which is to herald the COM
ing of the Messiah. The clamor
and violence presage its advent.
They see strange phenomena in
the heavens and look into their
books to calculate the significance
of these portents. They believe in
the rainbow. The return of
Faith is prelude to the Dawn. AS
exiled Faith returns, it reflects
itself in the growth of the field
of light, which soothes the mind
and quiets the spirit. Faith radi-
ates the story of the world under
the control of purpose, moving in
harmony and with rhythm. 1t
brings to mind thoughts that
make life and death bearable. The
basic article of Faith-whether
God is in His Heaven or there is
no Heaven and no Gods that
light overcomes darkness, mind
rules matter, and righteousness is
King over all. This is not an es-
cane. il is the return to the pro-

Horsepower Used

For example, behind the great
upswing in popular living stand
ards between 1880 and 1890, the
horsepower used per person en-
ployed rose from 0.6 in 1880 to
4.9 in 1880. In the depression
decade, 1880 to 1910, there was
backsliding, with horsepower per
worker reduced to As. return
to the 1920 basis and there was
some reduction in the tonnage
of raw material produced in that
decade. On the other hand. the
tons of raw materials produced
in mines and quarries per
worker rose from 81 in 1880 to
pa in 1880.
Such overall facts as the fore
going are neglected in the new
social history of business. which
is overweighted with theories
and personalities related TO the
annals Of American business.
The authors jump TO the con-
clusion that the depression of
the nineteen thirties marks the
end of the age of private enter
prise. They foresee the substitu-
ton of a new form of state-ism,
which they call national enter
prise.

On AAA Rate Cut
State Official Predicts
Home Fire Rate Slash

LANSING, Oct. 10 (UP).--A 20
per cent reduction in automobile
insurance rates by the Automo-
bile Cub of Michigan will prob
ably be followed by other COM
pahies to ferestail business losses,
Eugene Berry, state insurance
commissioner, forecast today.
Berry said the state had only
authority TO regulate dwelling fire
insurance rates, but he said other
companies were considering auto
mobile rate decreases to follow IN
line with the automobile club
policy.
Several eastern states which do
have the power TO regulate auto
rates recently recommended a 70
per cent decrease for holders OF
class A, or limited, gas rationing
cards. and a 10 per cent reduction
for class B holders, who receive a
more liberal allowance.
Home owners who have cleaned
up scrap and eliminated fire haz-
ards in their homes may also get
"a rate reduction in 1913 IL this re-
suits in a decrease in fire losses,
Berry said. Home owners in az
Michigan cities were given Z per
cent reduction last March.

Another Headache

William Trepagnier. able edi-
tor of the Motor News, informs
me that freezing of used tires
has provided another headache
for auto insurance firms.
They want TO protect their
customers but they hate TO
alternative but TO merely pay
the normal cash value less de-
probation allowance, when a tire
is stolen.
And it's even Sadder expert
ence for the car owner. Autos
stripped of four tires now, can
only be stored for the duration
unless some surcease is granted.
Insurance companies all over
the country are trying to get
the restrictions eased so that
they can give requirements in
bona fide theft cases.

amount OF maturing obligations of
Central and its lessor companies
over the next 10 years. For this
reason, directors are not likely TO
pay any substantial portion of
this years earnings in dividends.
There is a total of S170,000,000
of obligations maturing over the
next 10 years, including equip
ment trust issues, sinking fund
payments, etc. A major portion
of these or about S63000,000 do
not fall due until 1852. Nearby
maturities are not nearly so
heavy, thereby justifying some
dividend payment.
Directors are schedule 10 hold
a regular monthly meeting next
Wednesday. While they might
well decide to act on dividend
at that time, the probabilities are
stronger that they will act later
this year when 1912 earnings can
be more clearly estimated.

if social gains are more than a
mere phrase. they represent
more and better goods for more
people in exchange for a weeks

industrial expansion in the

people not only in the form Of

in the form of more leisure and
better working conditions for
producers.
Until the industrial revolution,
which really got going a little
more than a century ago, the
rate of progress in the material
well-being of the people was

gains did not spring from the
