 Which Is Filled.

The hundreds of reference volumes in the library are now being placed on shelves and in eases in "a room adjoining the r gular library space in the Citizens bank building, the new and additional quarters having been obtained yes erday.
 The additional space has been abso- luusly necessary for some weeks past owing to the rapid accumulation of books at the library. As soon as the arrangements were completed yesterday forenoon. shelves and book eases were placed in the room, and the work of moving the reference volumes thgrein wis started. More shelves and eases have been ordered and by the end of the week it is ex. pected even these will be filled.
 Rabbi Joseph Jasin yesterday an nOunced that he was compelled by the rapid increase in the number o1 volumes. to revise the figures he gave out recently, wherein it was shown that Pine Bluff ranks third in the possesson of a reference library ill Arkansas.
 'At that time,' said Dr. Jasin. ''I staad Little Rock was first, Fort Smith second and Pine Bluff third Conditions have changed. Pine Bluff has passed Fort Smith, and it is so close to Little Rock in the matter of the reference library. that it might even rank first, insjead of second"

Judge J. k. Stewart, now a. Miner al Wells, Tex, endeavCrlng to recup- crate from a severe. attack of rneu- matism, had un exp. rience in the Texas health resort recently that, ac- cording to the judge, is we'll worth the price of the trip and the time he has spGnt away from his official l duties. The judge found q long lost brother he had not seen in twenty years.
 sonny" Stewart came to Pine Bluff some twenty years ago. after visiting several other cities in the South. H5 has been here ever since. About ten years ago he changed the name sonny" to Judge" and Judge" hs bids fair to remain. For twenty odd years the judge has heard little from relatives So he was a much surprised man to learn that he had a brother we'll and prosperous, in business at El Paso. A friend brought thsm together. and last re- ports had the Texas business man on the way to visit the Arkansas judge.
 Judge stewart, say Pine Bluffians who have just returned from Mineral Wells, is improved in health, though not as much as his many Pine Bluff friends would like 10 see He is eX pect5d home within the next ten days.

SOLEMN FESTIVAL
 IS Y0M kIPPUR
Day of Atonement to Be Celebrated by Jews Be
 ginning Tonight. -

| Yom Kippur, the Day of Atone ment,, will begin at o'clock this 1 I5vcning and will continue until 6 o'clock tomorrow evening. Jews everywhere, of modern and of ortho- dox belief, will hold the day holy and will participate in the sclemA celebration of the religious festival. There will b, services at the temple by the congregation Anshe Emeth at 7:45 o'clock this evening. and tomor- TOW ths services will continue almost steadily throughout the day. The orthodox Jews of Pine Bluff also will cele brate the day in solemn manner. A ohldren's service at the templei will be held in the early forenoon of Saturday. Special music will be a features of all the services.
 A feature of the day everywhere, will be the receipt of donations for thi aid of the Jews who have suffered during the war in Europe, and especi- ally for the aid of the Polish war suff1 r5rs, an extracrdinarily large proportion of whom are Jews.
 Yhe Day of Atonament, a term adopted by tn vernacular to express the meaning of the Hebrew Tom Kippurm, as mentioned in Lev. 23:27 is not an exact equivalent of what the original word actually means. It was, however, adopted to answer to this vernacular and as such it's use has been in vogue. The observance of the day is one of the oldest record d in the Bible and designated as the holiest day of any in the calendar.
 It is marked down as the Sabbath of Sabbaths and while on any other holy day food is permissible. the sec rcdness of this day. is. eHhanced by being day of absolute fasting.
