The Young Women's Christian As

SUCCOTH NEXT
Feast Of TabernacIes Will be cele
brated Next Monday
With Proper
Services.

"Succoth," or the Feast Of Tabor
naoles. falls on the 18th day of the
seventh month Tishri, which this
wear comedies with Monday October
1st. The festival lasts eight lays,
the final day being known as the
feast of conclusion. Only the first
and last days are regarded as sacred.
"Succoth" is harvest festival. In
scripture 1t is known as the Feast
of Ingathering" and Is ordained IN
Exodus xxiii-16 and xxxiv,22. 1t is
associated with the journey OF the
Israelites through the wilderness. In
I,eyiticus xxtii42 it is commanded
that the Israelites dwell In booths
seven days" in commemoration OF
the fact that Israel dwelt in booths
when God brought them out OF Egypt.
In this festival stress is laid upon
the providence OF God evidenced by
the richness and bounty OF nature.
By 1t the ideal Of Judaism is ex-
pressed that God Is the dispenser o.
all things. The fruitfulness of the
soil. the teeming bounty Of the earth.
the Jew Is reminded, are the gifts OF
the Giver of all Life. Gratitude Is
due to Him alone. Man, In the midst
of the many blessings gives thanks
to Him who Is the source OF all that
maintains life.

ers and fruits and products of the
field. and the service Of the festival
expresses grateful recognition Of the
beneficence Of God.

National Capital Experts Are Planning
Now to Make Traffic on Mtssls-
slppi Like Old
Days.
SURVEY BEING PLANNED
IRailroads and Waterways VIII Co.
operate to Secure Maximum Of
Efficiency for Trans
portatIon.

Again we are to have the river res
surrected and this time Washington,
D. c.. is going to tackle the Job. All
sorts of good things are promised.
Among others a survey Of the river.
After the engineers have been work
ing ON the Mississippi these many
years. 1t would appear as If they
ought to have all possible information,
but perhaps there Is something that
may still be discovered or verified.
The following Interesting inform ton
was sent out from the national capt.
tai:
A comprehensive program for the
revival Of traffic on the inland water.
ways. including all Of the principal
rivers and canals, is being. worked out
by the United States shipping board,
in cooperation with Secretary Red
field Of the department of commerce
and Gen. VIM. M. Black, chief of en-.
gineers OF the war department.
One Of the important features Of the
scheme which, will incidentally bring
about development of river trans
portation on scale never attempted
before by government or private inter
ests. will be the construction OF a
great fleet of steel and wooden
possibly within two weeks.
Details Of the plan were discussed
at conference yesterday attended by
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board, Secretary Redfield, General
Black and Daniel Willard. president
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
who is chairman Of the transportation
committee Of the council OF national
he oil, no rG nc.
came known later that the program
would be an extensive one, and that
none Of the great waterways OF the
country would be overlooked.
AS preliminary step a survey Of
the country will be made to determine
the carrying capacity of rivers and
canals and the needs of various sec.
lions. It is probable that the govern.
ment will build and charter the
barges, but these details have not
been settled finally.
Present traffic conditions, It was
said, have made it evident that action
must be taken quickly as the railroad
lines alone could not hope to cope
with the situation. A schedule has
been mapped out by which railroads
and waterways will cooperate in or
der to obtain the maximum Of eff
cheney.
While the government will not un-
dertake the extension OF dock facil1.
ties in any Of the inland harbors which
will be affected by the expansion Of
traffic, civic organizations and pri'
vate and municipal capital will be
urged to take up this phase OF the
general plan and cooperate with the
federal authorities
The Mississippi river will be one Of
the great waterways which will be de-
veloped under the plan, and the ship
ping board hopes to increase trans.
portation on that and the other rivers
to a mark which has not been ap-
preached before.
The new traffic department and the
shipping board hopes that much can
be done within short time to relieve
congestion which has marked the
movement Of commodities.
