NORFOLK CITY

Judge Hanckel Decides That City
Board Can Provide Schools
With Furniture.

NORFOLK, VA, August 30.-The
Norfolk County School Board has
drawn first blood in the contest with
the State Board of Education over the
purchase of school desks for the ONO
lundro Avenue school building. The
matter came up on injunction pro-
ceedings before Judge Hanckel today.
The Judge refused to enlarge the in
junction on the ground that subsec-
ton 6 of section 1893 of the Code of
Virginia, with tho words School fur
niture" is constitutional. The Judge
also decided that subsection 10 of sec
ton 1893 allowed the City School
Board to provide suitable schoolhouses,
with proper furniture and appliances,
without any mention of subsection G
of section 1893; that the Legislature
intended that subsection of section
1888 should not apply to city schools,
so far as 1t extends to the purchase
of school furniture selected by the
State Board of Education.

GET BURRELLED

IT seems that the very latest idea for
those who desire to get up attractive .
pamphlets is to make use of the power
of the press. Any manufacturer un-
der this system If he knows how, can
compel the newspapers of the entire
country to write pamphlets for them
at no cost.
1t sounds strange, but it is true.
For example, a man has safety ele-
vator clutch. and he wants every one
who has an elevator to know that
there is absolute need of this device.
He decides to get up his booklet, and
all he does is simply to have every
paper published in America read for
him day by day. line by line. From
count of an accident to an elevator.
These accounts he puts in his book.
and there's his pamphlet. He couldn't
have much better argument than
that.
The same idea is followed out by
the man who has an engine stop. He
has secured for him all accounts of
accidents to fly wheels The firm with
a safety boat has collected ell acct
dents to boats. The concern Win a
checking system has need Of islry

If a single firm tried to get every

the largest organization of the kind

machinery and resources. read these
papers and secure the notices. Under
their system the work costs only.a few

New York City, and manufacturers

who have been Indifferent to their re-
ligious duties, having neglected to at
tend divine worship, will surely be
found in the synagogues during the
observance of these holidays. The

the day God is supposed to have ere

BY orthodox Jews the Day OF Atone
ment is known as the Fearful Day."
They spend it in fasting, praying and
doing .penance. In the reformed syna-
gogues the New Year and the Day OF
Atonament are celebrated by special
musical exercises and special sermons.
A special feature of the New Years
celebration. is the blowing of the rams
horn, known IN Hebrew as the Shofar.
On Atonement Day services will be
held continuously in all synagogues. In
fact, the celebration OF the Day of
Atonement begins the day before in
order to prepare the mind and body to
forget the material things of life and
to direct them to the spiritual.
Between New Year and the Day of
Atonement 1t is customary to visit the
graves of departed relatives and to
pray for the repose of their souls.
In the Jewish calendar there are two
New Years" The first. known as the
Passover, comes in March. and is the
beginning of the religious year From
this date all religious holidays are
reckoned. The New. Year of September
9th marks lie beginning OF the civil

The New Year is known in Hebrew
MS the Rosh Hashanah, and is the first
day of the month of Tishri. The Day
OF Atonement is called the Yom Kip

tenth day of Tishri.

MAY
DEFEAT STATEHOOD
Taft's Advice to Oklahomans Re-
garded as Voice of
Inspiration.

IFrom Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 20
The declaration of Secretary Taft in
pie of that State, the Republicans. of
course, should vote against the ratiti-
cation of the Constitution, because 1t
State that only Democrats could be
elected to the United States Senate, is
causing Interested comment and spec
ulation in Washington.
The secretary's own state of ONO
is gerrymandered about as bad as any
State of the Union. New York State,
however, furnishes probably the finest
instance of serrymandering that Is
the exception of one or two OF the
New England States. lit is claimed
that with New York City furnishing
slightly more than half the voters OF
the State, the Democrats might get
every vote cast in that city. and yet,
IL the Republicans should carry the
rural counties by bare ma1orities they
would have working majority OF the
State Senate at least.
There is a strong suspicion that Sec
rotary Taft. when he advised the he.
publicans of Oklahoma to vote agalnst
the Constitution, was rejecting the
opinion of the president, and that his
attitude foreshadows the action of the
President who. under the nablinS act
allowing the citizens OF Oklahoma ana
Indian Territory to vote on the ques-
ton of statehood, is empowered to ap-
prove or reject the Constitution, his
rejection being equivalent to veto.
which would defer statehood until an
othe err act of Congress had been passed
another Constitution formulated. ratl-
fed by the people and approved by the
Chief Executive.
1t is going to be q mighty hard
thing for the President to throw any
stones at fOklahoma without striking
some dogs near to Oyster Bay.
