JEWISH NEW YEAR
FALLS on SEPT. 20
Distinctively a Holy Day Rather Than

Rams Horn Age-Old Custom.

Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New
Year, also called Yom Hazikoron
DAY of Memorial" falls this year on
Thursday. September %. 1t CON-

GUS. since In Bible usage the days are
counted from shutdown to shutdown
The more orthodox will observe not
only Thursday, but Friday as well, II
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-
ditions In the colonization Of early rab-
binical times. and the practice. once
established, has been kept up by them.
even though the original reason no
longer obtains. The Reform Jews OBJ
serve only the day scripturally pre-
scribed. The date Of Rosh Hashanah
Is the first day of the month of Tishri
and the New Year now to be ushered
in. IL, according to the traditional Jew
ish calendar. the year 5677.
Unlike January /, Rosh Hashanah
has been fully able to resist seculari-
sation. 1t is in form and spirit a
holy day Acknowledgment a holiday.
Solemn services characterize It's OBJ
servance both evening and morning.
It is a time dedicated to RETROSPECT
ton, introspectton and resolutions for
the future. The day bears the spe-
cial designation Of Yom ha-Din. or a
Day Of Judgment With quaint mys-
ticism the old tradition represents the
souls of men as being on this day be-
fore the divine Tribunal at the an
nual assizes on high. The great Re-

case must be sealed by the person
himself: meaning thereby that. though
the varying issues of the New Year
proceed from Gods providence, no
ones future is determined apart from
what he himself is and does. Out of
above conception has grown up the
familiar greeting interchanged by
Jews on Rosh Hashanah. namely.
'1eshonah tovah ti-kasevu." meaning
May you be inscribed for good
year,"
An important feature of the ritual
of Rosh Hashanah is the blowing Of
the shofar or rams horn. In ancient
days the sounding OF this instrument,
was associated with times of national
crisis and other solemn occasions
There are various fanciful explana-
tons of the connection Of the shofar
with the celebration of Rosh Hash
anah. Bach of its dominant notes like

are OF peculiarly piercing quality the
sounding of the shofar may be re-
Earded as a clarion-cail to the con-
science to strive after the higher life
in the New Year. The prominence
accorded to the ceremony OF the
sounding Of the shofar during the SER
vices has made Rosh Hashanah known
as the Yom ha-Teruah. "the day OF
the sounding OF the shofar''

OPINION RENDERED
ON TAX QUESTION
Goods Bought Outside of State and
Shipped Direct to Customers Out
side of State Part of Purchases.

Christopher b. Garnett. executive
assistant of the State Tax Board. yes
terday rendered an opinion to Audi
tor C. Lee Moore, in (which he stated
that merchants doing business in vir-
ginia will be required to pay a tax
on all purchases made by them from
firms out of the State for shipment
direct to customers also outside III
Virginia, such goods not having en-
tered the State or having been ham
died by the merchant.
When the matter was brought to
the attention of Mr.. Garrett for an
opinion, IL was claimed that since the
purchases did not enter the State they
were not subject to the license tax.
In his opinion Mr. Garrett stated that
purchases by Virginia merchant
were as much liable to taxation when
shipped direct to purchaser as when
shipped into the state and then re.
sold. He saws:
My opinion is that merchants
whose place Of business is in Virginia
should return for taxation as pur-
chased goods all goods purchased out
side of the state. whether those goods
are shipped direct to cities in Virginia
and there resold. or whether they are
shipped direct to purchasers thereof"

B. c. Moomaw. Jr., of Allegheny
County. chief of the Bureau Of Mar
kets. of the Department of Agricul-
ture, opened his ONCE yesterday morn
ing in the Capitol building. The bu-
reau was established by the last Leg
islature. and will work with a similar
bureau operated by the Federal gov
eminent. Mr.. Moomaw has not
named his ONCE assistants, but his
organization will be completed in q
few days.
Plans for the conduct of the bu-
reau have not been made, Mr.. Moo
NAV stating that they will be worked
out next week. when an officer Of the
Federal department will be in the
city to confer with him. The Bureau
Of Markets will devote its attentions
to furnishing advice to farmers on
the growing and marketing OF food
stuns, and to the formation Of farm
ers' cooperative associations in all
sections Of the State.
We want the cooperation OF all
AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS in the
state" Mr.. Moomaw stated, land we
want them to feel that this ONCE will
be maintained for their service. We
Will not conduct a department for the
sale OF farm products, but our pur-
pose Is to have the farmers grow
them in sufficient quantities and
maintain a constant supply, advising
them on the manner of preparing
them for shipment. and putting then.
In touch with the best markets. 1t
is to the farmers interest to special
lie and standardize his products, as
IT will be ony when tn esupply is
large and constant that we can find
markets for farm products.
Another important feature Is the
formation of cooperative associa-
tons among farmers We will aid
this work in every way. for then we
can work through an individual who
will represent the farmers of a COM
munity, instead of having numerous
people to deal with. These co-opera-
tive organizations will be OF advan-
tage to both the farmers and this
bureau. and will aid us greatly in
finding suitable markets for their
products"
Mr.. Moomaw is particularly well
suited to the duties OF his Office. hav-
ing given a great deal of his time to
the work He was strongly recon.
mended for the position by the Fed
eral Bureau of Markets. and he was
elected by the Board OF

GERMANS MAKE PROGRESS TO-
WARD VERDUN.

Berlin, March ALI reports of the
battle of Verdun show a more anC
more remarkable cooperation of al
arms. A study of the progress during
the week since the first attack was de-
livered shows that the guns must have
been steadily brought forward as fast
as the infantry cleared any French
position, there to resume the work Of
making the next position ripe fol
storming.
In view of the character of the
ground fought over, the pioneers and
other technical groups must have full
filed their duties with the utmost pre-.
oision and according to program. The
fact that the French were unable tC
take any number of prisoners worth
reporting is taken to indicate that the
German troops are splendidly in hand
and are carrying out the work planned
for each advance but are not advanc,
ing further until the ground is pre-
pared for them.
The abandonment by the French
OF the so-called Mouse peninsula was
expected after the taking of Champ
melville by the Germans.
The advanced German line from
Champneuville toward Braas shows
that the Germans gradually are
Strengthening out the kink In the line
north Of Verdun. Between Verdun
and Fort de Marie, which forms the
northwestern corner of the Verdun
Notifications, lies tho Mouse, and on
the western shoes is a broad stretch
of fiat meadow land which Is COM
manded by Fort de Marie and by its
advanced batteries and hence imme-
diately further progress in this direc-
ton is not expected.
Whether the activity at other points
beside Verdun indicate a general at
tack along the whole front naturally
can not be predicted. Possibly the
purpose is to prevent the French from
Withdrawing troops from any point
for the reinforcement of verdun.
The bombardment 10 the north OF
Verdun is continuing with greater
intensity. East Of the Mouse last night
there was a resumption of violent To-
cal attacks. Near the village of Dou-
aumont the lighting came to hand-to-
hand encounter and the Germans were
repulsed by French troops.
In Lorraine the Germans succeeded
in occupying small sections of French
trenches. but they we're very shortly
driven out from these positions. There
is nothing to report from the remand
er Of the front

TWICE A MONTH

and After June I, II the
Governor Signs New Bill

The many men employed on the G.
G. o system in Kentucky are rejoicing
over the fond anticipation Of receiving
their pay twice month in the near
future instead of the present, getting
it monthly, from the 18th to goth OF
each month. A bill has been approx
ed by the Legislature and will become
an act upon the signature Of the Gov
ernor, who is heartily in favor of it.
1t is thought the new pay system will
be inaugurated next June, being about
the specified time for the bill to be in
effect. Paying off twice a month for
the employees is hailed with delight
among the business people for it will
greatly lessen their work. This will
also effect the day day and night crews
on the ferryboats working for the c.

PANAMA CANAL
Defenses To BE Strongest In the
World II Treaty With Pa
mama Goes Through.

Washington, March 1.-The United
States is preparing to take steps that
will safeguard its rights in event OF
ANY foreign power" securing conces-
sions that might threaten the Pana-
ma Canal. And If the Negotiations that
have been initiated for a new treaty
with Panama are consummated the
strongest defenses in the world can
be erected on the ocean sides of the
big waterway. The proposal to ne
gotiate a new treaty with the isthmian
republic follows the expose of the $751;
100000 land scandal recently explain
ed to the House Interstate Commerce
Committee by Major General George
w. Cocktails, governor of the canal
zone.
In addition to covering the acquisi-
ton of land in the present ten-mile
strip, the new treaty probably will in
clude plans for turning over to this
government lands outside of the pres
ent zone. These lands, military author
tiles contend, are absolutely necessary
to protect the canal from aggressive
action by "a foreign nation" which
might secure control of one of the
islands in the Caribbean sea, and from
such an island as a base menace the
canal. Extensive defensive fortifica-
tons out of the present zone are abso-
lutely imperative, the military ad-
visers declare, II tibet zone is to be
properly protected.
The new treaty is also to provide for
the absolute police control OF the cities
of Panama and Colon at the eastern
and western extremeties of the canal
These two cities, military authorities
declare, offer a constant opportunity
to any foreign power to secure a foot
hold which in time of war would en-
able them to ruin the usefulness of the
canal
When General Goethals laid before
the Interstate Commerce Committee
evidence that the United States was
being robbed" under the present
treaty, Representative Adamson of
Georgia, chairman of the committee,
took hand in the matter. He intor-
duced a bill providing that the activ-
tiles of the Panama Joint Land Com
mission should cease at the end of six
months. He laid his bill, with the in
formation he had acquired as to gem
eral conditions in Panama, before
President Wilson. The President sug-
gested that the entire matter be re-
ferred to the State Department to de-
termine whether any pending diplo-
matte negotiations might be disturbed
by such legislation. Yesterday Repre-
sentative Adamson was requested by
Secretary Of State Lansing to defer
any action on his bill temporarily at
least,
