JEWISH NEW YEAR.
Feast of Rosh Hashanah Marks Be-
ginning of Solemn Season.

With the fading of the leaf and the
falling of the foliage,t at the turning
point of the year, Jews scattered to
the uttermost ends of the earth will
on Monday celebrate the first day of
the year 5678, as time is reckoned in
Jewish history, counting from the
traditional period of the creation of
the world.
The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hash
aRah, begins on the first day of the
seventh month, Tishri, which follows
the SIX months Of work in the fields
ana the harvest of the crops. Ac-
cordlng to the ancient traditions of
israel, the fading leaf, the falling
foliage and the death of Nature awak-
ened IN her sons and daughters seri-
Gus thoughts, when the solemn tone
OF the Shofar addressed itself to them
IN the words: Awake, ye men, from
slumber, arouse from lethargy.
search your ways, remember your
God and return to the path of duty"
And thus Rosh Hashanah was set
to mark the beginning of the year. a
day of self-examination, when the
people were to look back upon the
past year with its experiences of JOY
and sorrow, with gratitude to the God
OF their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and
Joseph, and renew their trust in Him:
to search their hearts and determine
to begin a new life, with higher pur-
poses and better resolves.
Orthodox Jews still observe two
days for the New Year to make a
distinction between the inhabitants of
Palestine and all others. but Reform
Jews have returned to the originsal
method of observing a single day.
The feast begins at sunset, mode of
reckoning that is supported, tradition
ally, by the Biblical story of creation,
in which the evening is mentioned be-
fore the morning.
The Bible enjoins the celebration of
the New Year in the book of Levitt
Gus, chapter %, and Numbers, chap
ter 20. The chief rite mentioned is
the blowing of the trumpet or rams
horn, still observed in the synagogue
The ceremonial of the day is very i'm
pressive; it includes prayers Of ancient
and medieval origin, an elaborate
program Of music, and the reading
of the account of Abraham's sacrifice
Of Isaac. The greeting of the sea-
son is Leshana tova tikosevu, MAY
you be inscribed in the book of life
for a. good year"
The month of Tishri is the festival
season of the Jewish calendar. After
the New Year comes Schabbos
Sabbath of Repentance"
followed by Yom Kippur, or DAY of
Atonement, another festival of
solemn reflection; then suceoth, the
Feast of Tabernacles, and finally the
Feast of the Conclusion, marking the
close Of Tishri, the sabbatical month
of rest, recreation and reflection.
Impressive services in commemora-
ton of Rosh Hashanah win be held in
the synagogue of Bikur Cholim Con-
gregation tomorrow evening at
o'clock, and Monday morning at 10
o'clock. Local Jewish business
houses will be closed throughout Mon
day in honor Of the feast.

Frank Tyree Makes Hit as Entertain
er at Marine Corps Station.

New Wav to Bake Potatoes.

At the San Francisco exposition
several college girls conducted a
restaurant in which baked potatoes
became famous dish-With encour-
aging pecuniary results. Their
method Of preparing the potatoes was
said to be as unusual as it was de-
licious. According to their rule you
should lard a potato before you bake
it, in order to fill up the pores in the
skin and keep the flavor from escap-
ing. If you cover the skin with a lit.
tie lard, bacon grease or butter and
bake the potato the proper length OF
time-usually three-quarters OF an
hour-it will surpass potato cooked
in any other way. When you take ii
from the oven, break it open I'M
mediately so that the steam may es.

broadway Jones' "

George M. Cohan, Americas IA
yorite comedian, will be seen for the
first time in Donaldsonville next
Tuesday, when he will appear at the
Grand in a photo-adaptation of his
best and funniest play, broadway
Jones'" Mr.. Cohan's screen debut is
heralded as all kinds of success, and
local patrons of the silent drama are
going to like the man and his methods
with the same warm admiration that
characterizes the many theatregoers
who are familiar with his career on
the legitimate stage. The selection
Of Broadway jones' for his first re-
lease was happy one. The plot has
the snap and directness essential to
the screen, the characters are easily
recognized types of both city and
country life, and the sub-titles, taken
from the dialogue Of the play, fit the
situations with the perfection to be
noticed In the cut of a Cohan dress

The Sawdust Ring"

The Sawdust Ring" in which Bes,
sic Love will be seen at the Gem to.
day, is novel story of circus life
showing how little girl, daughter OF
the owner of three-ring outfit and
OF mother long separated from her
husband through a misunderstanding,
brings about their reconciliation.
Miss Love appears as Janet Magic,
who, because of her mothers extreme
poverty, is snubbed by the other chill
dren. She finds solace in the com
pany of her one playmate, a boy
about her own age, who is victim of
the same village caste snobbishness.
When Mrs. Magic is taken seriously
i'll and sent to a hospital, the two
children run away and join a circus
which is playing In another town.
The proprietor takes a peculiar in
terest in Janet, and through this in
terest the young runaway eventually
achieves a happiness for which she
has always longed.
The settings of the play are real
istic, for Bessie and her company
travelled with a circus touring Cali
fornia in order to film the principal
scenes. Every detail, from the
wardrobe tent to the "big top" with
its three rings, is shown. Many hu-
morous scenes fash through the in
tensely interesting story.

By MRS. SCHUYLER VAN RENSSELAER,

SCHUYLER VAN RENSSELAER,
Ships! More ships! (cry the buoys a-swing
Al the gates OF the seaWays) The message we bring
Is borne from the east by the storming wave
AS it tears at the hold Of our anchoring chain;
From the stormy east, from the sWaying grave
OF the dead who sleep
In their seaweed hammocks down deep, down deep,
Till again. again,
brave halloo in the brave daylight,
clang as OF arms in the haunted night,
The soul Of the sea and the souls of the dead,
Unmghteously speds
Cry out to the land through our iron lips:
Ships! More ships!
The smoking funnel, the tall pinemast,
The great, the small
The dragons of hell-fre are hunting them all;
The steel OF the fighters their lure, they say,
But no less, no less,
The babe and it's mother their lawful prey
Ships (cry the buoys). They drown so fast
And the wheat that should succor worlds distress
Till the deep sea groans for the bounty it bore,
And the outraged waves shout out to the shore
Through the bood-stained foam on our iron lips
Ships! More ships
Ships! (cry the buoys). How else shall be
OutWltted the dragons that crouch in the sea?
How else, when the dragons are mastered and dead,
Shall the world be fed?
Young land where the fields are untouched by flame,
Where the rivers flood
Is water, not blood,
Give as we cry in the old lands name
For the speeding sail and the htrrying screw
Calling to you
With your treasures of trunks and iron and gold
And your treasures of manhood, the Old World
stands,
Riven and blasted starved, cold,
Bereft of its sons, its acres a-Waste,
And reaches its hands for the help Of your hands.
Hastel cry ths living, the dead, make haste
With funnel and mast on the broad sea lane!
And again. again,
The need of the famished, the blood of the slain
Cry out through the clang Of our iron lips:
Ships! More ships!

"Miss Robinson Crusoe."

No star, whether on the screen, the
stage, or both, has established the
reputation that Emmy Wehlen enjoys
a a creator of styles. Miss Wehlen's
wardrobe is valued at more than
s2bO 900. In miss Robinson Crusoe," "
which comes to the Grand Sunday, this
popular star wears the latest crea-
tons of the famous modiste, Lucille.
The evening gown, afternoon gown,
bathing suit, sport suit and travel
ing dress she displays in the various
scenes are the very last word in the
fashions for the year and represent
the highest achievements of Ameri-
cas- leading dressmakers. The appeal
in "Miss Robinson Crusoe' is uni
yersal, but the play will be particular
" interesting to the members OF the
fair sex. From the opening scene to
the very last, Miss Wehlen's robes will
be- delight to the eye and will offer
many suggestions to women desirous
of keeping up with the styles.

glove. Betsy Ross" is not simply a
story Of the making Of the first Amer

story Of Betsy's love for Joseph Ash
burn is told in a straightforward,
true-to-life manner that is particular
" pleasing, and wound into the theme

faithfully portrayed, and there is not
single jarring note in the whole at

How the "samnies" Got Their Name.

The use Of the term 'Sammies' TO
describe our troops is almost unknown
in France, according to dispatches re-
ceiyed from the United States Ma
rines now in that country. How the
term came into use is explained IN IN
this wise: When the 'sfirst to fight"
contingent steamed into port the peo-
nile on the wharf shouted "Vivent les
amisr' - pronounced "Veev lays
ahmeey This means "long live the
(our) friends" but '1es amis' may J,
sound good deal like 'les sanmies, :
and the newspaper men so inter
nreted it. Immediately the folks
Hback home" began calling our troops
"sammies, but the French have yet
to acquire the habit.

"Ths Cook of Canyon Camp"

II is as a French "Canuck" that
George Beban is seen in "The Cook OF
Canyon Camp" which will be the
Monday offering at the Grand. Mr.
Beban portrays the happy-go-lucky
fapjaek artist as only the great char
aeter delineator can portray him.
Jean is wholesome and whole-souled,
a philanthropist who hesitates not to
tell "beeg lie" when to him the end
seems to Justify the means. In the
working out of the tale there is much
homeIy humor and many fine touches,
and the production leaves a most
pleasant impression at the close. The

ban picture-and that is saying con-
siderable for any subject.
