DRIVER IS FINED $40. FEAST OF TABERAAcLEs
Festival Will Begin Tonight in tie
Washington Street
I5.G ).
Synagogue

The Jewish festival Of Succoth or
Feast of Tabernacles will be cele-
brated from tonight until next Thurs
day night. Services will be held in
the synagogue in this city, at 1870
o'clock tonight.
The festival lasts eight days, and is
celebrated by Jews throughout the
world. 1t was celebrated by the Jews
when they lived in Palestine as an ag-
ricultural festival, and marked the
close of the harvest and the beginning
of the blowing and rainy season. It
was festival of rejoicing and merry
making when the servant was equal
to the master and all united in prais-
ing an. thanking God for His boun-
t!ful gifts. The Bible commanded
that on this festival all the people
should make pilgrimage to the
Temple at Jerusalem, and there, aftel
offering sacrifices, should dwell II
booths and tabernacles, hastily erect
ted of wood and beautifully decorated
with fruits and flowers to remind
them both of the harvest season anc
how their ancestors ha: dwelt in
booths in the wilderness. Many Jew!
still observe the latter custom, today
In some synagogues, too. modernlz
ed form of the harvest festival is cele
brated.
Some also celebrate supplement
tary festival on the ninth day, calIe'
Rejoicing of the Law, because on tina
day the sacred scrolls of the Law o
Moses are rolled back to the begin
ming of Genesis and are begun to b
read anew In many synagogues IN
scrolls are taken from the holy ark, j
which they are kept and carried abou
in solemn procession.

poration counsel of the District of Co.

scene fifteen minutes after the acci-
dent, the wagon was standing near
the west curb of Royal street, the
horses head facing Creighton's store.

little girl had just left mis- store and
he watched her until she reached the
bank corner. He then turned to some
work and heard the child scream. She
was then under the wagon, which
was close to the curb on the west side
of Royal street.
! J. 3. Carter, who picked up the 1t
! tie girl, said that the driver maze q
sharp cut from the front of kaut'
mann's store to Creighton's corner
without making any attempt to rount
the corner.
James w. Trip, Henry Wash NJ
ton. James Waring and Albert Bry
an, all eye-witnesses to the accident
made similar statements.

that all he had to 20 was to turn
around center stone in the m!ddl;
of the street. He acknowledged tha
he had turned in the middle of tht
street crossing but that in attempting
to stop his horse after he had strucF
the child he had thrown the Wagon
IN against the west curD. All Tx
witnesses testified that Smalwood
had done all in his power to stop tn;
horse after he had struck the lit;i'
girl.

case said that it was very clear case
that the ordinance ha3 been violated
and imposed fine Of $40.

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE

Thanks to the astute financial per-
eeption of Tom Knots the Gary
democratic campaign chests are now
| filled to the point of overfiowing. The
annual picnic is over. A hardwork-
ing police department is earning a
well-deserved rest after selling
tickets In fat bundles to the saloon
keepers. Saloonkeepers are glad that
| it was no worse.
The fact that a sudden drought
dried up all of the wells in the vi
cinity of the Ridge picnic grounds
held no terrors TO the patriots. They
went on with the picnic undaunted
| by this calamity. There was no
Sinking of duty on the part of the
| beer wagon drivers. They did their
duty nobly. Thus a great multitude
was saved from succumbing to thirst.
| Conservation of life is great thing;
even greater than conserving money.
The drivers deserve at least leather
medals.
| And 1t was a considerate commit
tee that provided bottles of grape
| Juice for those who follow the Bryan
| policies. Unfortunately for Mr..
Bryan the evidence tends to show
that while he may have many who
| will go to hear his lectures and pay
good money to do 1t there are but few
who will pay good money for the
stuff that he drinks when a less aris-
tocratic beverage is to be had.
In all it was great day for the
Gary democracy. Beer was not the
only thing that flowed freely. There
were more varieties of oratory than
thee were of beer. Those who sampl-
ed the varieties of beer were ready to
produce vaieties of oratory. And
many of those who were obliged 20
sample the oratory first we're driven
to sample the other things later for
relief
Again we say it might have been
worse.

AMEN! AMEN!

The country at large is thoroughly
nauseated with this man Mulhall. 1t
is tired to death with his mouthings
and it is thoroughly satisfied that he
has lied time and again in his social
ed exposures for the purpose of get

to longer tolerate his dirty tactics.

of voters are beginning to think that

We had an idea the Chinese would
make excellent soldiers, but fear not.
They make better business men.
Canton's mutinous soldiers who
had terrorized the city for fort
night, on learning of the advance OF
government troops. before agreeing
to engage in real battle demanded of
their officers new uniforms, which
were granted; next double pay,
which was granted Then 500
down for each of their families,
which was reluctantly granted.
Finally, on the ground that the adj
vancing troops were good shots, they
demanded pickaxes with which to dig
trenches for protection.
The Governor had no pickaxes
They were sorry, but no pickaxes nc
fight
Then they turned around and sack
ed the city.
Who has been training the Chinese
soldiery, anyhow?

GARY SHOULD BE AN OPEN PORT

According to information that
reaches us, the Steel plant at Gary
will not permit outside boats to land
or their crews to come ashore.
In times of stress and storm, like
yesterday, there are often vessels who
seek that harbor for safety. Their
crews may be in need Of food and
attention. But the waterfront at
Gary is owned by the steel trust, and

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE AND
TRAINING.

How the Vocational Guidance Sur
vey of New York city voluntarily be-
came the Vocational Education Sur
vey, because those in charge believed
that the really needful thing was to
train children TO be efficient rather
than TO find jobs for them for which
they were not trained, is told in a
document just issued for free dis
trioution by the United Stats Bureau
of Education
What the children really want, =
says Miss Alice B. Barrows, in the
Bureau report, lis vocational train
ing. The kernel of truth in this
popular movement for vocational
guidance is the need of vocational
| training for children Vocational
guidance should mean guidance for
training, not guidance for jobs
Hence, under present conditions, the
| interests of public school children
can best be served, not by the estab-
| lishment of vocation bureau, but by
the development of vocational train

The survey was undertaken by a
joint committee of the Junior League
and the Public Education Associa-

pose of studying a group of New
York children leaving school to &C
to work, in the hope of determining
what vocational guidance should

Sir:-Are not present-day fash

which men take nowadays in the
opposite sex. a state of affairs
created partly by the increased
time spent by men in sports and
games partly by the greater faci-
lities afforded by modern life for
the comfort OF the bachelor with a
moderate income and partly by the
approximation of women to men In
business and other pursuits? In
short. are not women nowadays.
