GERMANS USE CLOUDS.

Recent attempts by the Ger.
mans to use floating clouds us
screens for alrDlane raids have
led to some rather spectacular
sky bombardments from ansl-
ALI craft guns. These guns have
occasionally driven the raiders
from cuver and forced them to
turn back over their own line,
German aviators seem especially
trained in the defense use of
clouds, for during air battles ii
bit OF passing vapor is available
they Invariably dive or sidestep
into it. This is only another
demonstration OF the German
passion for digging in, such as
first brought the world war to
trench fighting. The Germans
dig in on the land, in the air and
under the sea.
The artillery activity appears
gradually w De growing in inten.
sity along most of the British
front, with raids and counter
raids going on first in one sector
and then IN another. These raids
of are she means that the armies
have OF keeping ia touch with
the enemy and haraslng bim.
FIRST introduced in the British
armies by the Canadians, raids
were taxed up by the First
and Germans. The last named
were never very successful at
the art. however although
recently captured Germans as
serted their company comm
anders promised them iron
crosses and long leaves OF
absence if they brought back
even one British prisoner in d
raid.

Blowing of Trumpets Herald
ed Coming of the New Year

In the National Museum are
two objects symbolic o! New
Year away back in those years
Vnen time was in its swaddling
clothes. They are a trumpet
made from rams horn and O
lamp Of hammered and curiously
wrought brass. Both we're used
in the celebration oy the He
brews of their New Year.
OF the two relics the rams
horn is, perhaps the more i'm
vortant, us relation to the OBJ
servatlon of the New Year is the
most interesting point because
of it's historical connection with
the life of the people Of Israel.
With the Hebrews the blowing
of t-umpets heralded the advent
OF the New Year,
The trumpets used were OK,
actly like the one at the National
Museum-simply the horns OF
rams wrinkled and rough and
made into the most primitive
form of wind instruments. The
trumpets were dedicated to ali
of the ceremonies of the ancient
Hebrews.
The name "shofar' was given
to it because OF the religious
Significance with which it was
endowed. In spite OF the vasl
enjoyment the Hebrews obtain
I'd in feastlng and celsbratlnf
The events, the seriousness witt
which they regarded the New
Year brings light upon the weire
and rather baroaric customs
that were in practice. One
strange custom was to put peo
pie TO deuth for transgresslcns
an Wlckedness on day useC
for celebration OF the New Year
The "shO1ar" was blown a
the beginning Of the New Veal
observance, and never at any
other time of the year, save fol
a while in military way, On thu
day Of judgement as New Years
day was called, the people

POPULAR PLAY HOUSE
. HAS NARROW ESCAPE
FROM SERIOUS FIRE
DIXIE THEATRE SCENE OF MUCH
EXCITEMENT IN DOWNTOWN
DISTRICT.
AACLEROY IS PAINFULLY BUUNID
Fire Department Quickly oueIIed
What Looked at One Time to be
Big Fire-Efficient Arrangement OF
Exits-Damage Only Slight.

One OF the most exciting fires in the
downtown district in long time, was
that OF Thursday afternoon when the
popular Dixie Theatre suddenly burst
out in flames. The fire alarm was
quickly sounded and the efficient fire
department is to be congratulated on
he quick work done to save the build
ing and the whole corner.
The fire caught from the operating
room when the reel on the machine
suddenly burst out in flames. From
meagre reports the operator seized the
reel and in some unknown manner
in his efforts to get the burning reel
from the theatre the fire spread from
the fire-proof operating room to the
theatre.
Generally the people in the theatre
are the ones enjoying the good times,
but this was an exception, to the gen.
eral rule There was a medium crowd
in the play house, but all easily got
out before the fire had hardly reached
from the operating cage, on account of
the wen arranged fire exits. Some real
Keystone thrillers were pulled in the
people leaving the building, but all
were cool and not single person
was hurt in the scramble out.
T. T. Macleroy, the efficient opera
tor for the Dixie, was the only person
hurt, and it is reported that he will
soonn Der abIee too bs~ out againa He
vas painfully but not seriously burned
IN the face and arms. in his vigorous
efforts to keep the fire from spread
ing from the room in which he was
working. Mr.. Macleroy is from
GAINESVILLE and has been In the city
for some time. During his stay here
he has made many friends, with his
.ongenial manner and friendly ways,
who will be glad to see him at his old
place as soon as possible.
The damage to the building is slight
and f. fully covered by insurance;
water causing more damage than the
fire. The decorations and walls are
ruined, but will be matter of short
time only before the doors of the play
house will again be opened.
