FASTEST VESSEL IN THE NAVY.
THE TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYER BAILEY
EXPECTED TO MAKE THIRTY
THREE KNOTS

The torpedo boat destroyer Bailey, which is to
have her official trials at Newport some time in
the first weeks Of October stands for the fast
est craft possessed by the United States Govern
ment- In the contract for her the Government re-
quired that she should be able TO attain a speed
Of thirty knots, but her builders, the Gas Engine
and Power Company, Of Morris Heights, expect her
10 reach thirty-three knots. This makes the Bailey
almost one-third again fast as the average tor
pedo boat the speed of which is generally from
twenty-five 10 twenty-three knots.
The Bailey is furnished with four Seabury water
tube boilers, each equipped with two furnaces
her engines are capable Of developing 900 horse
power. She IS essentially a seagoing boat and in
time Of war she may be expected to accompany the
battleship feet and to serve both as d scout and
defence for the heavier vessels.

JEWISH NEW YEAR BEGINS THIS EtENING
THE REASON FOR a CELEBRATION LASTING TWO
DAYS.

The Jewish New Year begins at sunset this even

synagogues and in many halls. which have been
rented to accommodate the people who not
members of congregations. The synagogues as
wen as the mprovlsed houses of worship, will also
be open for services tomorrow. With the reformed
Jews the holiday ends at sunset tomorrow but in
the orthodox synagOgues there will be religious
services Tuesday also. and most of the places
of business the East Side will be open until
Tuesday evening
The reason for the second day Of celebration on
the part Of the orthodox Jews traces back to an

determined by observations. and the people
outside Of Palestine informed Of the advent
Of a new moon 10y signal fires and by messengers
Sometimes these messengers were DELAYED and
came so late that the festival could not be cele-
brated on the proper day This caused the wise
men Of that day to order that all the festivals
should be celebrated for days bv people living
outside Of Palestine. Calendars were introduced
modern means Of communication made the fires
and runners unnecessary. but the practice of cele
brating the festival for two days had taken such
firm root that the orthodox Jews stilI adhere to
the custom.
