him since opening in the new location.^
The shop on opening day was vis-''

exceeded any anticipations, gtnd be-
fore the day was near ended We were
forced to admit that our preparations
in The way of souvenirs were great-

gave away some 3000 carnations to

SCHOOL FACULTY ORGANIZED
The return of Rabbi G. Burse-
towun to his congregation Adath

years, breathed into the activity of
the congregation a new spirit of life.

Emeth Sunday School. Abe Sihu-
man was elected temporary publica-
tion committee.
The Rabbi's plan for the future is
that the Sunday School faculty should
hold its weekly literary sessions every
Friday evening at 8 o’clock in the
Adath Emeth synagogue, and that
every Jewish bov and girl about«16
years of age with a substantial Eng-
lish and Hebrew education is eligible
to be a member of the Teachers'
Faculty: The faculty counts about
thirty members. The more ex-
perienced ones will be the regular
teachers, and the others will be as-
sistant teachers, and if not needed
for direct, teaching will attend the
Rabbi's preparatory teachers’ course
every Sunday morning.
Next Supday morning will be elec-
tion of officers for the faculty, and
the appointments of necessary com-
mittees for the faculty’s Friday eve-
ning literary sessions in the syna-
gogue. ,
These committees will arrange
for every Friday 'evening an
hour of literary and social inter-
ests for the members of the faculty,
their friendH und visitors.
Singing Hebrew hymns, recitations
of short English poems, on philosophy
and religion, appropriate addresses
and short discussions in a form of
questions and answers by the mem-
bers of the faculty are counted
among the interesting numbers of
this program.

AGERLY BOUGHT.
because of its %reater value
The motoring publk has found some-
thing in the new De Soto Six that sc’ts it
completely apart from others in its field.
It is not surprising that a cat so beauti-
ful, so comfortable, so powerful and
responsive, and so safe and easy to drive
should find a ready market. * “
But it is significant that even such a car
should set a new sales record for the
industry during the first five mdnths of .
its existence.
The answer must lie in a widespread
public conviction that the genius and
resources of Chrysler confer upon
De Soto a standard of value that is un-
matched by any car of comparable price.
