Burglars entered the sunny side
postoffice Monday night and robbed
the place of $1,000 N cash and post
age stamps. Entrance was gained
by breaking open the front door.
There is no clew to the perpetrators
of the deed.
The safe containing the money was
dynamited. Evidently a large charge
was used, as the safe was literally
riddled. Everything indicates that

the cash was carried away by the
robbers. The postoffice was in the
building owned by Postmaster Geo

New York. Dec. 24-Consderable un-
casiness Is felt among the members OF
' the board OF education In regard to the
|pnnual Christmas celebration TO be held
| in the public schools today. Proml-

Reformed synagogues. have come forward
with protest against the custom. saying
that IL should be discontinued, as II Is
distinctly. in their opinion an introduction
|of scctarlanism into the schools and call
|culated To have an undesirable influence
on the children OF Jews that attend the
schools and enter yearly into the spirit

This uneasiness is most manifest among
the seven membmers Of the board OF odu-
cation that form the committee on ele-
nentary education. as IL Is I'm the lower
grades that the annual festivities are en-
tered into most enthusiastically
For years It has been THE custom among
the teachers i'm the lower grades OF the
public schools to furnish a special enter
tainment on the afternoon before Christ
mas In most schools Christmas trees
are placed I'm the rooms Of the elementary
classes. These trees are decorated with
gifts for the children from the teachers
and principal OF the school. The gifts are
not of much value but the teachers say
IL all has an effect of promoting good
will and kindly feeling among the pupils.
While there has for several years been
more or less criticism from Jews against
this custom, the matter has never taken
the form OF a pronounced agitation until
this year Some OF the rabbis have APP
pealed to their congregations TO keep their
children away from the celebrations at
the schools today. Several Jewish news
papers have stirred up matters by calling
on parents to have the children remain
away from the schools entirely today.

many families, and tho children will suffer
thereby IN Tho way OF dement's for their
absence.

agitation favor a plan to have the chill

occasion to deliver "A sermon on Chris

At Temple Emanue-El and Temple

Margin of Profit,

The industry is operated on mar
gin of less than cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands Of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competi-
ton with the packer doing an inter-
state and international business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe-
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
industry, no complicated and expen-
slve factories, and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city, and the preparation Of
meats is simple in the extreme, local
slaughtering will long remain a fac
tor in the production of fresh meats
and provisions.

Cats That Eat olives,

Gently discovered that her six cats
are passionately fond of olives. She
says they will leave milk or fish or
any of the foods that cats are sup
posed to love If any one offers them
olives. Although they are an acquir-
ed taste with human beings, cats
seem to take to them naturally, and
she found that the cats in the houses
of her friends seemed to be quite as
fond of them as were her own-pets.
