JEWS CELEBRATE THEIR NEW YEAR
 THIS EVENING
Feast of Rosh Hashanah to Be Observed All Over the
 World By Hebrews

The feast of Rosh Hashanah or New Years Day, which inaugurates the most solemn season of the Jewish religious year, begins this year on Friday evening, Sept. 6, and lasts un- til sundown Saturday the seventh. Among orthodox Jews who celebrate two days, the following day, Sunday is also observed. This day opens the Jewish calendar year five thousand six hundred and seventy-nine (5679.l
 The observance of this day as holy season is commanded in two passages of the Five Books of Moses, namely Leviticus XXIII: "A and 25 and Num- bers xxx: 1. In neither passages Is there any specific command as to how the day is to be observed beyond the in1unctions to blow the trumpet, to hold a holy convocation and to en- gage in no servile occupation.
 It is to be noted that this day is the first day of the seventh month or the day of the new moon of that month. The new moon was observed as a holy season by the Jews of old; the seventh month was a particularly holy month, as the seventh day was the holy day of the week, hence, the new moon of the seventh month was invested with a significance of far ho- Her import than the other new moon days of the year. As in all holy sea- sons, no servile worts. no gainful oc- cupation was to be followed.
 The injunction to blow the trumpet on this day was to call the people to remembrance before the Lord. In the course of time, this ceremony of

who are of military age have increas- ed manifold.
 If 1t were confined only to those who are to become IS on or before Sept. 12, the burden of this work would not be as great as it is. But when one gets to the city hall morn ings and finds elderly men waiting in line to find out when they were born. 1t immediately becomes apparent that the Bureau of Vital Statistics will be rushed to death before the day of reg istration, next Thursday.
 With the announcement of Provost General Crowder through the local boards that "the burden is on the man who fails to register to show that he does not come within the new age limits" has made the problem of birth certificates more difficult than ever While it is an easy matter to trace the day of birth for a man reaching the age of IS, it is hard for the helr in the Town Clerks office to get at rec ords forty-five years old.
 The reason, however, for the older men rushing to the city hall to find out their age is because they are anx. ious to serve in whatever military ca. pacity they physically qualify for. Jus as those young men of IS who are en. thusiastic to defend their country, sc are the others up to 45 who accep willingly the Presidents appeal
