CEMENT SKATING SPEEDWAY
FOR ATLANTA BOYS AND GIRLS

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 2S.-A cement
skating speedway half mile III length
and sloping downhill all the was, has
Just been completed by Atlanta's city
park department in Grant Park for the
benefit and pleasure of the children.
Although pedestrians will not be ac-
tually forbidden to use the speedway,
it was constructed with the sole idea
of providing the boys and girls with a
place where they can coast to their
hearts content, as fast as their skates
viii roll, and it is anticipated that the
number of children will be SO great and
their use of the speedway so constant
that pedestrians will voluntarily sur
render it on the principle of safety
first"
The speedway starts at the Milledge
avenue entrance to the park and winds
down long incline to the head of the
park lake, half mile distant. The ini-
tial slope is quite long and steep, to
give the youths rousing start, and
the speedway follows the course of a
brooks that flows through wild and
picturesque ravine.

FATE OF THE BREMEN
progress.

BERLIN Sept. 28.-News of the ac-
tual docking of the merchant subma-
rine Bremen at New London, Conn,
is lacking here today. 1t is generally
assumed, however, that the telegram
announcing the departure of con-
voying tug from the American port is
to be followed by early announcement
of the Bremen's safe arrival. Owners
of the Bremen have been anxious CON
cerning the vessel during a week past
II is assumed in shipping circles here
that heavy storms at sea delayed the
Bremen, there being no apprehension
that the submarine has been captured
by enemy warships.

REDS AND BLUES
IN bic STRUGGLE.
On The LAST LAP
Blues, 2,1S7 points.
Reds, $50 points.

Reds, $50 points.
That's the way the grand battle for
the Y. M. C. A. stood last night when
the latest report of the two forces was
compiled. The Blues, under the com
mand of Field Marshal John w. Shicer
gained GIG points during yesterday,
while Field Marshal Thomas o. Mar
shall and his corps only gained 47O
points
Although the Blues plainly have the
edge in the battle, grand rally during
today can materially assist the Reds
in moving up their score in close prox-
unity to the Blues.
Today is the last day of the cam
paign. The forces are marshalled in
strong battle array, for the great
question today is Shall We Eat Her
ring or Chicken Pie?" It's far more
momentous than the query of Hamlet
in his soliloquy.
Mrs. c. P. Davis will have charge OF
tie luncheon at the Y. NJ C. A. tonight
when the report of the final day is COM
piled. H
The goal of the campaign is 200 new
members-and this is what must be
done.
The Y. NJ. C. A. is one of the greatest
institutions for good in Americas. 1t is
a power for good Itis powerful ad-
vancement avenue for the moral and
physical life of all Americus.
Let the Blues or Reds know which
side you want to throw your member
slip. Get ia the ring-and help Ameri-
Gus and the Y NJ. C. A.
It is rumored that the Reds have
something up their sleeves and that
they will pass the Blues tonight.

JEWISH NEW YEAR
BEGAN LAST NIGHT
WITH THE HOLIDAYS

Sundown, Wednesday, september q,
the first day of the Jewish month Tis-
hri, marked the beginning of the
Jewish high holidays. These holidays
Ct deep religious significance, COM
menced with the feast of Rosh Hash
anah, or New Year. The New Year
viii be followed by ten days of peni-
tence, which reach their climax in the
Lay of Atonement, October 7th.
"On the New Year all the inhabit-
ants of the earth pass before Him as
sheep before shepherd" In these
words the ancient Jewish law book,
the Mishna, refers to the significance
of this day. 1t is a day of Judgment
when the sins and the merits of all
men are weighed by the Divine Judge.
TIE Talmud tells that in this annual
New Years judgment scene three
books lie open before the Most High.
In one book, the Book of Life; the
names of the perfectly righteous, the
sinless, are inscribed; the second book,
the book of death, has recorded in it
tie names of the utterly wicked; and
the third book is for the ordinary
middle type of men, in whose be-
half judgment is suspended through
the ten days of penitence, until the
LAY of Atonement, when the decision
is finally made and recorded.
The services for the day are espec-
tally solemn. Prayers in prose and
poetry dwelling upon the theme of
Gods judgment of men, are recited
and sung. The rams horn, the "Sho
far" summoning men to prayer and
repentance, is sounded in all synagogs.
At the close of the service the worship
pers greet each other with the words
May you be written down for good
year"
Orthodox Jews observe many cere-
monies which suggest the ideas and
emotions of the day. In the home
honey and fruits are eaten and the
pious wish expressed May it be Thy
will to renew to us a good and sweet
year" During the day orthodox Jews
will go to river, shake crumbs from
their clothes and recite among other
prayers the verse from Micah: "And
you will cast into the depths of the
sea all their sins" While orthodox
Jews observe the feast for two days,
September q and 2S this year, Re
form Jews return to the ancient Pales-
tinian custom and obesrve but one day

There are times when a felIa needs

Baleshaw is an employe OF the
Union Pacific railroad. He has been
boarding at Sam Faier's, S04 South
Tenth street According to Mr.,
Faier's story Bradshaw has been de-
linqucnt in settling. and all other ef-
fort failing, attachment on his wages
was made out through Justice H. X.
Claiborne. In fact, garnishee pro-
ceedings were started against the
Union Pacific TO collect S25,95 for
Faier
But BaleShaw had already got his
months salary OF about 500 and
started to leave the Union Pacific Of
iices when he got into fight, This
was a real fight, not a quarrel with
landlords and attachment servers,
and he was arrested, falling into the
hands OF Captain Henry Heitfeld.
Faier's representatives then garni-
sheed the captain to get the sum
Balcshaw had on his person. But
all that could be found was 81 OF.
The remainder had been cleverly
ditched into the hands OF eomrade
on the way 10 the station house. OF
