the Mishna, refers to the significance of this day. It is a day of judgment when the sins and the merits of all men are weighed by the Divine Judge. The 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 s1nless, are inscribed; the second book, the book of death has recorded in it the 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 nenitence until the Day of Atonement when the decision Is finally made and recorded
 The services for the day are espe- cially solemn. Prayers in prose and poetry, dwelling upon the theme of Gods Judgment of man, are recitcd and sung. The Rams horn, the "Shofar," summoning men to prayer and repentance is sounded in all syn- agogs At the close Of the service the worshippers greet each other with the words May you be written down for a good year,
 Orthodox Jews observe many cere- monies which suggest the ideas and emotions of the day. Tn the home honey and fruits are eaten and the p1ous 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 27 and 2S this year, Re- form Jews return to the ancient Pal estinian custom and observe but one day. .

magnificent tract of land lying high, dry and indulating, with fine natural drainage. Every lot commands fine view. Besides these lots are within minutes ride, 5c fare, from the heart of New Britain and an equal distance from Plainville.

However, at my auction sales the public makes it's own prices so they have to go. re- ,gardless of price. The sale will con- tinue this Saturday and Sunday after moons and we have some seVenty-five lots to sell so that, undoubtedly more bargains will be had. Even if we have had to sell lots with improve ments in, located in an established community at prices less than acreage -farm-values and will have to con- tinue doing so my orders from the United States Realty company of Waterbury are absolutely to go ahead.

High Holiday Season Opens We'd
 neSday, September 27

the first day of the Jewish month lis hri, will mark the beginning of the Jewish High Holidays. These holi- days of deep religious significance, will commence with the feast of Rosh Hashanah, or New Year. The New Year will be followed by Ten days of Penitence, which reach their climax in the Day of Atonement October 7th.

 With the formation of metropon- tan district all the towns in this Vlcln- ity. including Hartford, could join in similar enterprises. Senator IAlett said the achievement of such plan would depend wholly upon the way in which the small towns regarded 1t. This brought up the question of the an- uexation of Kensington, som ething that has been urged from time to tune for the past ten years. It was finally decided to get in touch with leading citizens in Kensington with the aim of holding a conference on the question.
 Alderman Jester suggested the ad- visa bility of sweeping away the double t;lxing system by cutting out the dis strict lines and making the tax cover all properties. It was agreed that the first district. which includes the whole city, is securing most of the benefits supposed to be enjoyed by the inside district.
 Mayor Qugley thought that the suggestion of Q, building commission to have charge of the construction of all city buildings, including schools, is a good idea. He had seen it suggested in a local newspaper, and it occurred to him that this would relieve the school board of the trouble of build- ing schools and allow it to devote itself exclusively to educational mat tars. The committee adjourned to Friday evening, October t. The meet ings will be held from o'clock to o.3O

 The officials will be, starters, Deputy Commissioner E. w. Yergen, and Commissioner E. T. Thienes, judges, Scout Executive c. s. Ripley of Hart ford and Rev. Earle B. Cross; timer and recorder, Scoutmaster Stanley Sheldon.
 Evening Program.
 Supper will be cooked about the campfires in real scout fashion, and directly after the supper at o'clock the program of the evening will be- gin. One large camp fire will be built around which all of the troops will circle. The program of the even ing is as follows:
 Greetings from the Local Council President Albert F. Corbin, Vice Pres ident Louis P. Slade, Principal of the High school, J. B. Comstock mem Der of the executive committee of the Local Council.
 Good Wishes," Ex-Commissioner Stanley Sheldon.
 ''What Lies Ahead of Us," Com missioner E. T. Thienes. The crowning feature of the even ing will be the story telling hour about the camp fire. Scoutmaster Harry s. Birden, Troup 10, Hartford, has been secured as the special story teller. MT. Birden has been the story teller of Camp Jewell, the camp of the Hartford Y. M. c. A. at Lare Swanzee, New Hampshire, and he has @ novel and fascinating way of telling camp fire stories. This will be one of the most pleasant features of the day. The program will end at 8:30 with the Boy Scout yell and the yells of the various troups.

Auction at BarncSdale Tomorrow.

Considerable interest has been aroused throughout New Britain and vicinity by the auction sales held last Thursday, Friday and Saturday on the Barnesdale property.
 New Britain and Plainville people have noted the rapid improvement
 upon this beautiful tract of land es-
 pecially as to the large number of houses already erected. Barnesdale already mum bcrs among it's residents many well-known New Britain people.
 The auction sale of this desirable property opened last Thursday but was postponed on Friday owing to the severe rain storm. On Saturday the sale was only fairly well attended owing to the Berlin Fair. The sale continues this Saturday at p. m. on the grounds at Barnesdale.
 Ira A. Lurie of New York, sales manager of Baker of New York the auctioneer who is conducting the auction sale makes the following state
 ment:
 ''I have sold land from Maine to California aud it should not surprise the people of New Britain when I state emphatically that they will miss the opportunity of a lifetime if they fail to buy a lot or two at the Barnesdale auction sale. Here is a property as good as any I have ever sold. It has the three important features ne- cessary to a successful and satisfac- tory real estate purchase wherever To-
 cated, namely, accessibility, healthful-
 ness and low price. Barnesdale is a

rlaced in charge of separate commits sions and find out what they desired MT. Landers inquired if it would be necessary to get the approval of the committee on cities and boroughs for the proposed charter changes. Sen or I<lett said the new home rule bill, under which the city of Bridge port is now working, permits Of a referendum vote on all changes of this character. The committee thought it would be better to take a vote on the question next spring, when the voters would not be confused by other political questions and the election of a city ticket MT. Camp suggested that it would be a good idea to get in touch with the various city commis- sions and nd out what they desired in the way of new legislation or char ter changes. He also suggested that tho common council might be cut down in size, as he considers it un- Wieldy at present. MT. Camp thought a smaller body would get better re- suits than the present large body. MT. Landers said he had but one criticism 70 express against the council, and that is tho present method of filling vacancies caused by reSignationI The vacancies are filled by the council on termination by the ward representa- tives Tn some cities such plan would result i'll corrupt deals. While the largo council may seem unwieldy it works well here, said MT. Landers as the large foreign population is bet ter represented through it's council members than would be the case if the council were composed of a select few
 MT. Camp proposed to expedite council business by giving the city commissions power to legislate con- clusively on routine matters As mat ters stand, the council is often com pelled to spend a lot of time. giving formal approval to many minor mat ters. MT. KehOe suggested these mat ters could be presented in some form where the council could give it's ap- proval to the whole, unless objection were offered, and Mr. Landers said this could be accomplished by a cal cndar the same as in the legislature Messrs. Camp and Kehoe were named a committee to investigate the advis- ability of this matter and to learn just what the powers of the commissions are in routine matters.
 For Metropolitan District.
 MT. Landers broached a matter which may prove of vital interest to the city with it's increasing growth. He suggested that New Britan mght form small metropolitan district, following the example of Boston, where many suburban towns are in ciuded in one district for the purpose Of securing mutual Improvements such as the extension of transporta- tion lines development of highways and other enterprises in which each might share. For example, he said, West Hartford is anxious to develop the trolley system in the direction of New Britain and Is proposing to bond the town to finance the deal. The road would be leased to the Connecti-

 Mayor Quigley called the meeung 10 order and was chosen temporary Chairman. He declined the perma- nent chairmanship and, at the sugges- ton of G. M. Lander, t was voted to name Judge B. r. Gaffney for chairman. H. V. Ca:-2D was chosen clerk Those present were: Messrs. r Steele and Klett. Tn the absence of Judge Gaffney, Mayor Quigley presided, and started the discussion with an outline Of several suggestions for charter
 changes The mayor suggested that the forestry committee be dignified by the term commission and that the
 same be done with the civil service
 committee. He thought the forestry
 committee should have an annual ap-
 Iropriation with power over all trees
 and also to name a tree warden MT
 Camp suggested that the city plar
 commission and the forestry commit
 tee combine, but other members
 thought the city plan commission had
 a big job combining 1t with the for
 eStry work The mayor maintained
 the members of the forestry commit,
 tee are familiar with trees and inter
 ested in their welfare. Most of the
 large cities, he said, have forestry
 commissions. MT. Landers though
 it a technical mans job and said ht
 understood that forestry commissions
 1 the larger cities had charge of tre'
 i4urseries and supplied trees to tn
 rsark department as well as shad
 trees along the streets. MT. Keho
 thought the scope of the work coul'
 be enlarged and trees could be grow
