JEWISH RELIGION
 HOLDS MAY Y HOLY
Feast Of Weeks to Be Observed in
 All SynagogueS

On Friday, May r, the great Jew ish festival of Shabuoth, or Feast of Weeks, will be observed in all temples and syna gOgues throughout the world. The festival will begin, in accordance with Jewish religious custom, at sun set on Thursday and will continue un- til sunset Friday. Orthodox Jews will likewise observe the next day as a supplementary festival. In Reform temples children from 13 to 16 years of age will be confirmed with appro- priate ceremonies in the religion of their fathers
 According to Biblical injunction this festival was observed in ancient Pal estine as one of the three great har- vest festivals. It was celebrated on the 50th day after the beginning of the Passover; hence in common name, Pentecost, i. C., in Greek, the 50th day. It marked the close of the season of the grain harvest Upon this festival the first sheaves of the various kinds of grain grown in Palestine were of fered as Thanksgiving sacrifices to the Lord. On this festival as on Pass over and Tabernacles, the people would pilgrim to Jerusalem in vast numbers, from all parts of Palestine, and even from remote corners of the globe, to participate in the joyous fes- tai worship at the great Temple. It has been estimated that at times up- ward of a, million pilgrims assembled in Jerusalem upon these occasions.
 In post biblical times the festival was celebrated also as the anniversary of the giving of the Ten Command ments to Israel on Mt. Sinai and. the solemnization of the eternal covenant hot Tor-o al iInI I in Exodus 1 g and 20. Tn comm em ora- tion of this event Reform Judaism has fixed the confirmation of it's children upon this day, that they, too, may enter into solemn covenant with their God, even as their fathers did over three thousand years ago.
 The confirmation exercises them selves are most impressive. The chill dren, simply gowned, the girls in vir- gin white, ascend the altar to partici- pate in the worship of the day. The most important part of the service is the reading in Hebrew by one or more of the children, from the sacred scroll of the law. The portion of Exodus 19 and 20, narrating the giving of the Ten Commandments is read Thereupon the confirmants recite together the Ten Commandants and the fundamen- tai articles of faith of Judaism which they accept. The service concludes with the solemn blessing of each in dividual child by the Rabbi.

MEMORIAL FOR SOLDIER.
Services to Be Held at Swedish
 Lutheran Church Sunday.

Plans have been made at the Swedish Lutheran church to dedicate gold star on the church service flag next Sunday afternoon in honor of Corporal Arthur J. Paulson who lost his life at the battle of Seiche- prey month ago and his mother, Mrs. David Paulson, of Smith street, has been invited to place the signi- acant gold star on the flag among the field of almost 100. Owing to her deep grief and general health Mrs. Paulson may not feel equal to this task, in which case someone else will install the star which commentaries the only member of this church who has sacrificed his life thus far in the war.
 Governor Holcomb has been asked to preside at the meeting and among the speakers will be Mayor G. A. Quigley and Senator Lenroot of Wis consin. Those in charge of the me- morial services are planning to charge a nominal admission fee and to divide the proceeds between the Red Cross and the Orphanage at Avon, Mass.

airy reasons. Nothing, perhaps, has
rejoiced our French allies more than
the fact that the Germans have never
been able to take Reims, however close
they have come to it.
It is the damage that has been done
to the glorious cathedral of Reims that
constitutes one of t1le greatest artistic
tragedies Of the war. Here, in this
magnificent cathedral, the kings of i'm
perial France were crowned. Here
Joan Of Arc led Charles VII to his cor

FEW SHIPS ARE TOTAL LOSS
Vessels Sunk by Mines or Torpedoes
Patched, Raised and Taken to ."
Port for Repairs.

ANY one who imagines that all the
vessels sunk by enemy U-boats or
mines are left at the bottom of the
sea would be surprised If he could
be told the whole story of ingenuity,
resource and unremitting toll Of the
British admiralty salvage corps.
Almost as soon as vessel is sunk
salvage operations are commenced
Divers are sent down to take accurate
measurements of the size Of the hole
made by the torpedo or mine. Small
holes are plugged with wood, but large
ones are patched with standards"
patches. These are made Of Pinch
wooden beams, and patch sometimes
weighs as much as 20 tons.
AS may be imagined, the size of the
hole varies greatly. In some cases 1t
has measured 40 feet long by 20 feet
wide, and in one case it has been
known to be 4s feet long BY 25 feet
wide.
When the vessels have been plugged
and patched their cargo removed and
the water pumped out of them they
proceed to the nearest port where they
can be permanently repaired. -,
Several vessels have been torpedoed
after being relocated and have again
been successfully raised and taken
int port.

CHIvALRY IN THE TRENCHES
How Suffering Tommy, Doomed to
Early Death, Attempted to Give
His Blanket to Yank Comrade.

."Yank, I'm only twenty-eight, but
I'm an old man." said an English
Tommy Just before we turned into
our sleeping rolls on the coolest night
that had experienced. And his aw-
full cough, the result of being gassed
early in the war. when they had no
masks, added fatal, testimony to his
statement.
All night long he coughed. About
midnight awoke shivering. From
his coughing / knew that he was
awake, said: Tommy, never was sc
cold in my life" and then in few
minutes | was asleep again.
An hour later was again awakened
by his violent coughing. TO my sur
prise seemed to be warm and wonder
ed If the wind had suddenly changed,
but from it's constant whistling knew
1t had not. reached out and felt
two extra blankets on me. I suspect
ed whence they had come by that VIC
lent coughing.
= I got up and carried them back to
where he lay, saying, Tommy. did
you put these blankets on me?" he
replied: Eyes, Yank, you said YOU were
cold.' -
"But what about your"
"Oh, me? I'm used to It,"
"Well, all Igot to say is. thank you :
but If you ever do that trick again I'll
throw you out Of the window In the
snow and let you freeze to DEATH" And
then put them back on his shivef,ug,

Jesse looked around the room and
seemed to miss some one. Standing
jauntily with his hands on his hips. he
explained to Judge Barasa that his
lawyer had slipped up on him.
"And I paid him $40, too," Jesse
said.
Il can't stand to see him suffer so.
They just drag him around-treat him
like q dog" said Mrs. Emma Mae
Early Gibbs, poetess.
Jesse showed he can be stern with
his wives.

The court limited, annoyedly, that II
she didn't be quiet he'd put her into
