cha rity club and sometimes had to go
out alone after dark was very much
afraid of being stopped and robbed.
Her husband disliked to provide her
with a revolver. but he bought a
punching bag and showed her how to
use her fists and where to place the
most telling blow in case Of molesta-

JEWISH new YEAR Is
OBSERVED HERE TODAY

The Jewish New Year, 5671, or Rosh
Hashanah is being celebrated today
and tomorrow by Orthodox Hebrews in
this and every other place in the
| world. AS a result most stores in the
city are closed and Hebrews are attend
ing church services. Congregations
Beth Mordecai and Shaary Tfiloh are
EAolding special services in commem-
grafton of the event in their respective
temples in Hobart street and Madison
avenue, and the latest formed congre-
cation Ansey Chedek is holding servi-
ces in the Auditorium, in charge of
which is Rabbi MacRt.
The volume of New Year cards, etc,
sent out by the Hebrews has caused
the p~ostofice force to work overtime.
The matter consists mostly of New
Year cards in envelopes less than half
the size of an ordinary letter envelope,
which is not sealed and very difficult
to handle. This kind Of matter cannot
be fed to the stamp cancelling machine
and it is very difficult to stamp by
hand. The postofice sold 1884 one
cent stamps on Saturday and 6,15S yes
