jews TODAY OBSERVE
PALESTINE SABBATH

Jewish synagogues throughout the
county are observing today as a Pales-
tine Sabbath. The rabbis preached on
restoration Of the old Jewish home
land, which has become a definite part
OF the Allied peace aims since the Brit
lsh armies drove the Turks from Jeru-
salem and the British Government gave
its pledge to revive the Jewish state.
The offering of the day was set aside
for the Palestine restoration fund, the
first million dollars OF which is now
being raised in the United States.
During the last forty years the Jew
ish population Of Palestine has increased
from 25,0OO to nearly 10000 largely
through immigration. Forty-elght Jew
lsh agricultural colonies have been es-
tahlished and were in a flourishing con-
dition until the war placed It's blight
on them. No great emigration to Pales-
tine is expected on the part OF Ameri-
can Jews, who are bound 10 this cOun-
Try by ties Of love and patriotism, but
the new State Will serve as a refuge
for the oppressed in many lands. The
Zionist leaders predict that 10000 Jews
will settle in the ancient homeland
during the next decade
For the first time in the thirty
years history OF the Adas Kodesch con-
gregation, special sabbath services wer
held In the synagogue at Sixth and
French streets, last night. They were
in charge Of Rabbi David B. Swlren and
were conducted in Hebrew and Eng
lish, according to the standard Of Ortho-
do& Judaism. Hymns and prayers were
chanted and Dr. Swiren preached on
Hopeful Hearts and Helping Hands" :"

ferred to the Chairman Of each local
committee for settlement.
THAT there has been no change IN
the application OF the original order
from Or. Garfield, as to manufacturing
establishments, which must remain
closed on Mondays, as contemplated in
that order, unless they have been OK
cmpted specifically in orders from
Washington"
Robert d. Kemp, chairman OF the
local fuel commission, announced last
night that no pool room or any other
place in this city would be permitted
TO sell cigars, tobacco, cigarettes, candy,
soda water or soft drinks on Monday.
This special ruling is the result OF
the open violation Of the rules on last
Monday by one or more places in this
city. There is no intention on the
part Of the committee, it is said, TO
prosecute any OF those violating the
closing order on last Monday, but any
sale on next Monday will render the
violator liable 20 a heavy fine and inn
prisonment. II is felt that the public
has had ample notice by this time and
a failure to lay in a supply Of Smokes
sufficiently large 10 last over Monday
cannot be blamed to a lack OF knowl-
edge on the part Of those who run om
Of the "makin's."

H. Ten Weeges, State fuel admins
TRAITOR, this city and state Is going to
be closed about as tight as it is pos
sible TO make It on the Monday holi-
days declared by Federal Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield. and it is doubtful If the
Blue Laws" OF Delaware could be
more effective in closing up things
generally than will be the fuel admin
istrators determination to observe to
the letter DR.. Garfleld's mandate. Al
though his Interpretation of DR.. Gar
fields closing order is. much different
from that OF other State fuel admin
istrators, Elr. Ten Weeges insists on
sticking to his original order that
everything close up on Monday except
absolute essentials.
Yesterday he had a conference with
the members of the State Fuel Advisory
Committee, which is composed of the
chairmen Of the several local fuel com o
mittees, at which time numerous details
relative to DR.. Garfleld's ruling were
considered. Il was agreed that the
closing order should be enforced liter
ally and accordingly the following rul-
ings We're adopted and made public for
the guidance OF the public:
THAT all interpretations Of the ef-
feet Of the order Of Or. Garfield upon
all places Of business selling foods and
food products will be made by Ed

GUARDIAN APPOINTED
FOR MRS. Il. WACHA

Frank r. Chase has been appointed
guardian for Mrs. Henry Wacha,
widow Of the late Henry Wacha, who
died about two or three years ago on
his farm near Kiddville.
In the settlement Of the estate Of
Mr.. Wacha considerable Of the prop
erty was found to belong to Mrs.
Wacha and some difficulty arose as to
the rights of the children. Mrs.
Wacha went to live with her son, Jos.
Wacha, in Orleans, but it is said she
became dissatisfied and returned to the
old home to reside with her daughter,
Mary, who came from Ohio, shortly
before the death of her father and
since then has been taking care of her
mother most Of the time at the home.
While she was living with Joseph
it is alleged considerable personal
property and some money came into
his possession which the other chill
dren claim he is not entitled to. After
the hearing in the probate court re-
Gently over the question of the APP
pointment of guardian for Mrs.
Wacha, who it was shown to- the sat
isfaction of Judge Webster, was not
to handle her business af-
fairs, Mr.. Chase was chosen for the
place and her property rights and the
interest of all the children and heirs
will be looked after in legal way.

HE SAW HIS SHADOW

Last Saturday was ground hog"
day. Some people with foreign per-
suasion believe it was Friday, but all
are united that on either day Che lit
tie critter could see his shadow if he
came out almost any time between
sunrise and sunset. Some of the
sages aver that the ground hogs YER
sion of the future weather for six
weeks is unsound and relate instances
when his prophecy did not come true.
Be that as it may winter has had a
good hold on the country and it would
seem that it might take about six
weeks for Old Sol to warm up the at
if he started right now.
A few gloomy ones venture to re-
mind their fellows that somewhere
they were taught that the world would
be destroyed by fire, whereas they be-
lieve the opposite is coming true. One
individual believes that he would pre-
fer hi rather than the present nun
of winter.

1t takes seven men to make a sold
Ter. This is not guess nor varia-
ton of the old joke about taking nine
tailors to make a man. 1t is the care
full estimate of the general staff and
the department of labor, based on the
experience of Britain.
The figure gives the best measure
of the industrial task ahead of the
United States, and also tells what the
labor problem of the war amounts to-.
For every man at the front six men
back Of the lines must be modifying
in direct war industries. This means
they must be withdrawn from other
industries, or recruited from the un-
employed or unskilled. The vast bulk
of them must come from the non-es-
sential peace times industries.
The seven men who make a soldier
consist of the man in uniform, two
workers to support him behind the
lines in France, and four workers to
produce his supplies in America and
to transport them to port and across
the ocean.
When 1000 men mrach down to the
docks to sail for France, 5000 must
be ready behind them in factory, ship
yard or powder mill. The boy in the
uniform won't have ghost of show
against the Hun unless the six boys in
overalls are on the job.
Already America has put 100000
men in uniform-the nations best, all
ready to give their lives if necessary.
But probably the greater task in the
of 100000 workers be-
hind them. Unless this is successful.
the 100000 won't even dent the
Prussian war machine, and Germany
hopes that America is not equal to
the task.
