first Of these foreign celebrations will
be that of the Greeks and Russians
and a few other nationalitiea which
adhere to old style dates. They will
have New Year on January IA, Is days
later than the New Year Of the new
style. Next In order comes the Chi
nese New Year, on February IS, and,
but a day later. February IL, comes
the Mohammedan first day of the year.
The Jewish New Year falls nealy nine
months later, about the middle of Sep
Der, on the first day Of the month OF
''Tishri."
The celebrations vary both In ae-
cordance with the religions of the va
rious peoples and their climatic,
racial and national characteristics.
With the Greeks, Russians, Servians,
Bulgarians and Macedonians, all of
whom adhere to the Greek Catholic
church, New Years is one of the most
pleasant If not the pleasantest festival
of the year. With the Jews, on the
contrary, the New Year, Rosh Has
hama, as 1t is called, is far from being
a pleasant affair. 1t is day of retri-
button, Of judgment. 1t is preceded
by weeks of prayer, fasting and peni-
tence, and is followed by ten days
known as the days of repentance,
which wind up with Yom Kippur, the
day Of atonement, a most grewsome
and weird day, dreaded by every or
thodox Jew.
Greeks Celebrate Two Days.
The most interesting and joyous
celebration of the New Year is that Of
the Greeks. The Greek New Year
lasts two days. In these two days the
Greek nature with its unbounded joy
of life comes into its own The heart
of every Greek thrills on that day with
unbounded joy. Passionately he
awaits the evening, when In his little

rant, with male cooks and attendants,

More Stringent Law Needed.

To the Editor Of The Star:
With the recklessness of the drivers OF
vehicles and the automobile it is danger
Gus for citizens to cross or go on the
streets anywhere. 1t is a we'll settled
principle of law that foot passengers
have the right of way as against vehicles.
but this does not seem to be understood
by the driver of vehicles in this city,
especially by the colored drivers, for they
seldom, If ever, make the slightest effort
to prevent running over people on the
street. Many of them pay no attention
whatever to foot passengers and much of
the time do not even look where they are
going, or whether there is any one likely
to be injured. They neither check the
team nor turn out when they see man,
woman or child in danger; and as a gem
eral rule when they have knocked one
down they seldom. If ever stop. but, on
the contrary, whip up the team to get
away.
1t is very much the same with the auto
mobile. as was the case mentioned by
The Star a few days ago when an
eight-year-old boy was knocked down
and injured by a sightseeing automobile
for, as stated in The Star, the machine
did not stop.
In Paris, if vehicle does not stop
when it has knocked one over. the driver
imprisoned and fined besides, and that is
what the law should be here and through
out the country. A fine alone does not
answer the purpose. What is needed is
imprisonment. the length of the time be-
ing in proportion to the injury. So, too,
the practice of arresting parties for
violating the speed regulations and let
ting them off by their depositing small
sum as a collateral, which is usually for
feted. is of no use. What does the own
er of touring car that costs from $1,000
to $1,000 care for $40 or $15? That is no
punishment to him. and as shown by
daily experience does not lessen the
violation. They should be shut up, and
for a second offense their license should
be forfeited.
With such law thoroughly enforced
they would soon begin to pay attention
and the lives and limbs of the citizens
would be rendered far more safe. | do
not object to automobiles, but 1 do object
to the reckless and dangerous manner in
which they are used. w c. DODGE

meeting today in the board room in

ing.

only routine matters We're presented
for consideration. Regarding reports
of criticism concerning the committees.
the president general stated that she
had considered her committee appoint
ments with the utmost care and had
not made single appointment from
personal motives. The president gen.
eral smiled when She was asked if
there was any trouble brewing
Did you ever know of very large
society of women where personal diff
ferences and troubles did not crop out
1t would be futile to deny that there
are few what might be termed dis
gruntled' ladies in the Daughters of
the American Revolution, but I have
faith to believe that all my Daughters
are really seeking the best interests of
the society. and when they are con-
vinced that l am working for that also
they will come in and help instead of
trying to hinder our great work.

John Thorne, a prosperous farmer at
Friendly, Prince George county. Md, had
an exciting time last night while driving
along the Livingston road about two
miles from Congress Heights. He COM

ride in his wagon. The affair happened
in Maryland, and the Anacostia police
were without authority to take action
but several residents of Prince George

Damaged Gas BUOY Replaced.

The gas buoy marking the head Of the
middle ground in Chesapeake bay, near It's
entrance, was run over a short time ago
by a passing vessel and was so badly
damaged that it's light was extinguished
and it was Of no value as night guide
to navigation. The disabled buoy was
taken up by the lighthouse boats and a
new one installed in it's place. The dam
aged buoy was taken to the ortsmouth,
Va, station of the lighthouse service to
be repaired and made ready for duty
again in the waters of the fifth district
where needed. The vessels of the light
house service are expected to visit the Po-
tomac and renew many of the buoys be-
tween this city and Point Lookout, a
number of which, it is said. are badly in
