The feast Of the Passover will be
celebrated by Jews all over the world
this month, and the people who are
busy making preparations for its OBJ
servance are working night and day.
There is much ceremony and many
quaint observances connected with the
weeks festival, but it's best known
feature in New York is the vast guam
tity OF matsos, or unleavened bread,
the baking of which has kept hum
dreds OF people employed for months
in some forty bakeries on the East
Side. No baker tells his neighbor
how much he turns out; but there are
roo 900 orthodox Jews in New York
and an average consumption during a
week of ten pounds for each person
would mean 100000 pounds, or some
$4,000 barrels of -four. Many baker
les have been working for six months
on the product which will be consumed
in a single week, and there is one five-
story establishment in the city where
nothing is done all the year except tc
manufacture the crackers which are
used in lieu Of bread during the Pass
over season. Its output is sold moi
only to dealers and consumers in this
city, but all over the United States a:
well, besides going in large quanti'
ties to Cuba, Porto Rico and all part
Of South America.

ELKS IN MARCHING CLUBS
Toledo, Detroit, Pittsbur1 and Others
Will Compete for Prizes at

best drilled marching clubs in the coun-
try will be in attendance at the EllSs' Con-

to compete for the prizes that are 70 be
offered to the lodges participating in the
big parade.
These clubs are part Of the Toledo, De.
trolt and Pittsburg Lodges and their fame
and reputation for military excellence
have been established throughout the
world Of Elkdom. The Toledo aggregation
popularity known as ''The Cherry Pickers, 3"
carried on the first prize in Buffalo in
1905. and have numerous other Victories 10
their credit. They are conceded TO be
among the hest drilled men ever seen in
public parade. Their uniform IS distinctive
and attractive and as the average weight
Of 'The Cherry P.clSers" is about l76
pounds. it can readily be seen what an at
tractive appearance they are bound to
make while ON parade.
The Detroit Ells surprised the visitors
in Denver last July by their magnihcen;
display of marching abilities. Throughout
the entire procession they won merited ap.
ause and when the FIRST prize was award
cd 10 them the decision proved popu
lar one The Miehiganders promise to re-
peat the trick in Philadelphia and they
say they win give the Toledo boys hard

victory the Smoky City ElSs are now
striving for more laurels. They also have
