THE JEWISH NEW YEAR.
Rosh fashanah Falls This Year Or
 September 18th.

Rosh Hasha1ah Cthe Jewish New Yearl also called Tom Haxikoron Day of Memorial" falls this year on Thursday. September 25th. It com mences however the evening previous, since in Bible usage the days are counted from sun-6fown to sun-down. The more orthodox will observe not only Thursday but Friday as well, it being their custom to keep a second day in connection with practically all the more important Jewish holidays and festivals. This custom on their part grew out of certain complex con- ditfons in the calendatiou of early rab- hfnIcal times and the practice, once established. has been kept up by them. even though the oroginal reason no longer obtains. The Reform Jews ob- serve only the day scriptually pre- scrfbed. The date of Rosh Hashanah is the first day of the month of Tishri and the New Year now to be ushered in, IS, according to the traditional Jew ish Calendar the year 5677.
 Unlike January 1st. Rosh Hashanah has been fully able to resist seculariza- tfon. It is in form and spirit a holy day distinctively-no a holiday. Sol- eun services characterize its observ- ance both evening and morning. It is a time dedicated to retrospection, in- trospection and resolutions for the fu- ture. The day bears the special desig- nation of Tom ha-Din or Day of Judgment With quaint mysticism the old tradition represents the souls of men as being on this day before the divine Tribunal at the annual as sizes on high. The great Recording Books lie open and the individual des- tinies are set down, but (and this is the significant element in the concep- tion) the award in each given case must be sealed by the person himself; meaning thereby that, though the varying issues of the New Year pro- ceed from Gods providence, no ones future is determined apart from what he himself is and does. Out of the above conception has grown up the familiar greeting interchanged by the Jews on Rosh Hashanah, namely, '1e-
 shonah tovah ti-kasevu,'' meaning May you be inscribed for a good year!''
 An important feature of the ritual of Rosh Hashanah is the blowing of the Shofah or Rams horn. In ancient days the sounding of this instrument
 was associated with times of national crisis and other solemn occasions. 1 There are various fancifu1 explana- tions of the connection of the Shofar with the celebration of Rosh Hash 1 ana Each of it's dominant notes like
 wise has been given a symbolic signi- ficance. As the tones of the Shofar are of a peculiarly piercing quality the i sounding of the Shofar may be reward : 1 ed as clarion call to the conscience l to strive after the higher life in the 1 New Year. The prominence accorded to the ceremony of the sounding of the | Shofar during the services has made Rosh Hashanah known as the Yorn ha-Teruah, "the day of the Sounding l of the Shofar."

The report has been circulated that after the first of November the number of club licenses allowed in this county will be cut in two. In a telephone conversation Wednesday evening County Commissioner Albert H. Lamphere of Waterford said there was some truth to the report but he would make no definite statement ex- cept that more particulars will be given out after the next meeting of the commissioners. Action in regard to the cutting of the number of club licenses was said to have been taken at the meeting of the commissioners in this city on Tuesday, according to the report. Commissioner Fred J, Brown said Tuesday night and reiter- nted his statement on Wednesday night that he did not know of any such action and that if it has been taken it must have been at some other meeting than the one in the city on Tuesday and during his ab- sence. County Commissioner Charles Fl. Smith could not be reached by tel ephone on Wednesday evening. It is possible that the matter will be fully discussed at the next meeting of the commissioners. s=s
