Confirmation at Adath Yeshurun.
At Adath Yeshurun Synagogue the
confirmation services took the form
of graduating exercises from the Sun
day school. There were nine gradu-
ates, eight young ladies and one young
man. The synagogue was very pref
tily decorated and the ceremony was
very impressive. After the return of
the Sefer Torah, the boys choir under
leadership of Cantor Lieberman sang:
blessed be Who Come" in Hebrew,
while the candidates marched to the
pulpit. After few words of welcome
Rabbi Wilmer presented the class to
the Congregation as one of the most
lavable classes he ever had, both in
department and scholarship. Then the
following program was carried out:

Rabbi Wilmer impressed the class
with his advice to be loyal to the Con-
gregation and to observe the Sabbath
as much as possible. AS a floral trib-
ute each member of the class donated
a fern to the synagogue The cere-
mony was very impressive and greatly
enjoyed. The singing of the choir
was very much admired.

Mr.. Curtiss recently gave utterance
to an opinion that has become general
among ayiators to the effect that the
serious problem now before aeroplane
men Is not one OF air currents or Of
any other element peculiar to air navi-
CATION, but ID one Of motors. No motsr
has yet been invented that IS absolute
" reliable. This fact IS familiar to
automobiles and owners Of motor
boats. With ariators the problem is
still more serious ia that it contains
an element OF danger. When an aero
plane motor stops it necessitates a sud
den descent, with a probable accident
at the end. It Is the motor that causes
most Of the aeroplane mlshaps, and It
is the fear Of the motor which pre-
vents aviators from going to great
heights. With the invention Of a re-
liable engine the chief obstacle in the
way Of successful and general air navi-
cation win be removed.

to the jubllation. the New York state
