that the customs house officials of this
city will make a tour Of inspection
among the vessels operated by gasoline
power to see that they have aboard the
proper lights, bells,e fire extinguishing
material and other equipment required

Apache was at Cambridge. her officers
found two motor boats not properly
equipped and the violation Of the law
was reported to the collector of Gus
toms at Baltimore and fines were i'm
posed. The Apache has been in port

BOYS ADDRESS TO HEBREWS.
Nathan Cayton, Eleven Years Old,
Speaks at Above Sholem Temple,

Before a large congregation in the
Above Sholem Hebrew Temple yester-
day Nathan Cayton. an eleven-year-old
boy. residing at 2120 H street north
west, made an address on the Jewish
New Year
In the beginning he called attention
to the fact that the traditions Of the
race had failed to bring to light the
birthdays of the heroes of the race,
and even at times failed to tell the
dates of their deaths.
The speaker then explained what the
savants OF the race mean by the term
Kingdom of the Almighty" declaring
that our holy prophets promised US
that d fortunate time will come to
humanity, when all will live in peace
and tranquility. The fights will cease.
The swords and spears will be made
into plowshares and pruning hooks, and
even the natures of the wild animals
will become milder. and the wolf will
no more attack the sheep. Evil will
throughout the world, and it will be-
come full of the true idea of the
divinity"
He declared 1t is the duty of the Jew
TO enlarge the idea of duty in the
world; to make known the constitution
OF Moses. We have to KNOW" he
said. our Bible, our talmud, our
literature and our history"
Jewish children" he continued, learn
but a little reading in the Hebrew
schools, after which they leave school
and their study of Judaism ends.''
He then asked: What will be the
end Of Israel with such an education?"
The answer was: We can expect that
the third generation following will not
even know how to pray, and our syna-
gogues will have to be closed
In the closing he charged that in all
, this the parents are guilty. They
raise children he said, without Civ
ing them the education which Jewish
children ought to have"
