FEAST OF THE Weeks
TOBE Celebrated
Important Holiday in the Jewish Re-
ligious Calendar Starts
June 10.
CONFIRMATION is FEATURE

Shabouth. or the Feast of Weeks, one
of the most important holidays of the
Jewish religious calendar. will be cele-
brated on the evening of Tuesday. June
10 in local Synagogues. The celebration
will be continued on Wednesday morn
ing both in Eighth Street Temple and
in the synagogue of the Washington He
brew Congregation, at which time confir-
nation will be administered to Jewish
children.
Ancient Jewish tradition has associat-
ed with the Feast of Weeks. the giving
of the Ten Commandments at Mount
Sinai.
Reform Jews have one feature in their
celebration of the Feast of Weeks. which
Orthodox Jews do not have. This is the
ceremony Of confirmation. Originating
in Germany about 1Oo years ago con-
firmation has come to hold a conspicuous
place in reform Jewish life. While con-
firmation has been conducted and in
some congregations still is conducted on
other days than the Feast of Weeks, and
while there is now an agitation to trans
fer confirmation to some date in the fall,
vet the prevailing usage among reform
Jews throughout the Spited States is
to have confirmation on Shabuoth.
Flowers and floral decorations figure
prominently in the confirmation cere-
mony. and synagogues, following an an
cient custom. are sometimes decorated
with fresh green branches.

PUBLIC GOLF LINKS
FOR WASHINGTON
Their Construction Is Forecasted at
Meeting of Chamber of
Commerce.

Golf links for public use will he opened
this fall. according to a report last night
of r. P. Andrews, chairman OF the
special committee on pubic golf links,
at meeting of the board of directors
of the Chamber of Commerce
John Dolph. chairman of the COnven-
tions committee. reported that he was
trying TO have Washington named as the
next convention city of the Modern
WOOdmen Of America. The convention,
which would bring 10000 persons, Mr..
Dolph said. would be held in June. 1914
The suggestion of r. p. Andrews that
the Chamber of Commerce charter a
boat for a two-day trip down the Poto-
mac River was approved. Mr.. Andrews
and d. J. Kaufman were appointed COM
mitteemen to obtain data They will re-
port at a meeting Tuesday night.
The President of the Chamber was au-
thorized to appoint A successor to the
chairman of the membership committee,
whose resignation was accepted.
Members declined with regret to spend
an evening in discussing the question of
suffrage and of home rule for the Dis
triCt.' or to urge upon the President the
recognition of the Huerta government in
Mexico.
1t was decided to name twenty-five
delegates to attend the demonstration of

Big BEAR RAID
IN WALL STREET
Stocks Break Heavily and
May Touch Lowest Level
Since the Panic.
McADOO CAUSES FURRY
Report from Washington Of Contem.
plated Suit Against Tobacco Com
pany Has Effect on Market.

New York. June avail Street eX-
perienced today the biggest bear raid it
has had in five years. several hundred
thousand shares being dumped on the
floor to be sold at the market" During
the first hour of trading. practically every
stock on the board broke heavily. and
many of the more conservative securities
touched the lowest level since the panic
days of 1913
Several causes contributed to this
marked decline, which began in London
and vas forecasted here on Tuesday. The
chief of these was the continued unload
ing of American securities by foreign in
vestors, which began shortly after the
receivership proceedings for the Frisco
system were instituted in st. Louis.
The sudden appearance of Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo in Wall Street soon
after the opening of the Stock Exchange
furnished food for the rumor mongers,
and within a few minutes all kinds of
reports were in the air. Secretary Nc
Adoo emphatically denied that he was
here in connection with any meeting of
bankers. and said that it was merely a
coinindence that he happened to be in
town during such a time.
Another feature credited by many
as having much to do with the IN
loading was the news from WASH
ington that the government was to be-
gin new investigation against the
American Tobacco Company. the disso-
luton of which company was approved
of by the former administration. 1t was
felt that this move indicated a hostile
feeling against the tobacco people.

NICOTINE TRUST
TO Be ATTACKED
Attorney General Planning
Line Of Battle Against
Old Monopoly.
DETAILS NOT SETTLED
Department Of Justice Feels that
Combine Is Just As Power
full as of Yore.

Attorney General McReynolds yester.
day announced that he contemplated fur
Their steps against the American Tobac.
CO Company in order to completely dis.
solve that corporation.
He characterized the action brought
by the Taft administration and the de-
cree entered under the Sherman law as
an ''obvious subterfuge" and a miscar-
rage Of justice. Just what this action
will be. Mr.. McReynolds would not in
dictate.
Commissioner, Of Corporations Davies
laid before the President and the Attor-
ney General the completed report of the
Bureau of Corporations on the tobacco
industry of this country. This investiga-
ton has been in progress for several
years, and 1t will assist the Attorney
General in determining whether there has
been any violation of the courts decree
by the Tobacco since its dissolution was
ordered.
The Attorney General declined to dis.
cuss the report today, but IL is under
stood that II will afford him considerable
help in his plan to renew the attack up
on the tobacco trust.
The Attorney General also has under
consideration the question as to whether
or not there has been any violation on
the part of the Standard OIL Company
OF the courts decree dissolving that
trust. Charles b. Morrison and Oliver
f. Pagen, special assistants. have been
engaged for several months in investigat-
ing the conditions OF the oil industry as
result of charges made in the recent
litigation between the Waters-Pierce
Company and the Standard
Probing Standard OIL.
The two Investigators from the Depart
ment of Justice reported TO Mr.. Wicker
shaw before he retired from office that
their investigation had raised serious
doubt whether the Oil Trust had been
dissolved. though they found that unfair
competition had been eliminated. Their
since then has been chiefly
TO determine whether the management OF
the disintegrated parts of the trust and
the control of prices were directed by the
same interests as in the old days.

PimpIes Should
Be Watched
Maybe Means of Absorbing
Disease Germs in Most
Unexpected Manner.

The research laboratory Of The Swift
Specific Company has collected a vast
amount of information regarding the
spread of blood diseases In thousands
of instances the most virulent types have
been the result of coming in contact with
disease germs in public places, and the
apparently Insignificant pimpIe has been
the cause. It spreads with astonishing
rapidity, often injecting the entire system
in a few days.
It is fortunate, however, that there is
q remedy to cope quickly and thoroughly
with such condition, and thanks to the
energy Of its producers the famous
s. S. s. may now be had at almost any
drug store in the civilized world
This preparation stands alone as a
blood purifier. 1t is somewhat reyolu-
tionary in its composition, since it &C.
composites all that was ever claimed for
mercury, iodides, arsenic, and other de-
structive mineral drugs, and yet il Is alb
solutely q purely vegetable product.
There are more cases of articular rheu-
matism, locomotor ata1ia, paresis, neu-
rftis. and similar diseases resultant from
the use of minerals than most people are
aware of. These facts are brought out
in a highly interesting book compiled by
the medical department of The Swift
Specific Co., 100 Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ga
1t is mailed free, together with special
letter of advice, to all who are struggling
with a blood disease.
Get a bottle Of S. S. S. to-day of your
druggist. 1t will surprise you with its
wonderful action in the blood
Don't accept something offered you as
"iust as good" The only reason why
any one should not try to sell you S. S. s.
is the large profit made on something
cheaper from crude drugs. Beware OF
any attempt to persuade you TO buy some
thing in place Of S, S. 8.
