Day Of Atomement and Feast of
the Harvest and Tabernacle
Also Last Nine Days.

The Jewish New Year began Sun
day evening with the setting of the
sun and lasted until the setting of the
sun on Monday. This period marks
the traditional creation of the world
in the year 5,66s, according to the
Jewish calendar.
Rosh Hoshona, which marks the
real beginning of the series of SER
vices, is to the Jewish church what
Lent is to the Catholic and Protest
ant churches. During this period
there is a time set for self examina-
ton
Tuesday at sundown was the time
set for the commencement OF the
Day of Atonement, this period last
ing until the setting of the sun on
Wednesday. This is the most i'm
portant of all Jewish holidays. Dur
ing the twenty-four hours of this day
no Jew over the age of thirteen years
is supposed to eat, but this custom
is generally carried out only by the
Jews of an old type. With the pass
ing of the Day of Atonement, mer-
rier festivities come. They cover a
period of eight days and are called
"The Feast Of Harvest and Taber-
nacle.' and according to Hebrew
traditions no work can be done on the
first two or last two days OF this per-
iod.

MILL LAW A BENEFIT
Less Hours for Thousands of Opera

Less Hours for Thousands of Opera
 tivcs in Eastern Connecticut.
 Willimantic, Aug. 2S.-The new state law limiting the employment of women and minors to fifty eight hours week will benefit several thousand mill oper atives in this section. Women work CTS are in the large majority in the big thread mills here. and a new schedule will have to be adopted beginning next week, as the mills now run sixty hours a week The thread mill help will quit fifteen minutes earlier at night than at present, and the plant will shut down earlier on Saturdays. The local cotton and silk mills will also go on a fifty eight hour schedule next week, giving a full hour at noon in stead of three quarters of an hour. It is not expect ed that with the reduction in hours of labor there will be any decrease in wages
