PUI,Isi.

G PECIAL services will be held in the Wilmington syn
~ agogs on The Of March 3, and throughout the
Jewish community various social affairs will take place
as a means Of celebrating the feast Of Purlm minor
holiday OF the Jewish calendar. which this year
March observed according the practice OF
the synagog beginning with the evening OF the previous
day.
AZ the service the Book OF Esther read in the orls
nal In translation accompanied by the unrestricted
comments OF the congregation who manifest their ap-
proya OF the deeds Of Queen Esther and Mordeco
her uncle and the rckerles Of aman by pounding
desks stamping their feet and making earspttng noises
by OF mechanical contrlyances
The seml-mirthful treatment OF this Biblical story
yielded In OF time to sober rendition, when
the story OF The Jewish people ancient Persia out
lined in this account mirrored In part the Of the
Jewish people Of all ages. Israel bese by The enemy
all and daily his life was threatened, as in the
story Of Esther.
The Joyous celebration Of the feast, however, was
never modified despite the bitter experiences the Jewish
people were forced to endure Every this festival
came as means Of ,enlng the sadness OF their lot
and bringing cheer to those who forced TO dwell
darkness Home and synagog both the scenes OF
merrment In the additional delicacles served
and all who were distress In body soul were remem
bered and relieved Social programs arranged TO
amuse and entertain. Masked balls and humorous
iheatrlcas were devised TO provide merrlmen for the
Jewish community.
The traditional practices have been preserved to this
day. Among Jewish people the Feast OF Purlm Is
for social events and domestic celebration Of
less elaborateness within the home circle. It
viii be carried out with feryor in The jewish homes in
our community

THE GOLDEN FLEECE.

~ HE Allies desire for The grain OF southern Russia
has It's parallel in the quest Of the golden fleece al
the beginning Of Europes known history. So short is
the time that separates from the NEUROLOGICAL age
Of the human race.
In the generation which preceded the siege Of ancient
Troy Jason and his eowheroes Of Greece set out for
the land OF Colchis to seize the golden fleece
Their ship the Argo, the largest vessel that Greece
had built and the super-dreadnought Of her day
The argonauts included Hercules Theseus Castor and
ponux, powerful in their time han the Of the
heaviest battleships In ours.
Cochs at the eastern end OF the Black Sea- called
by the Greeks The "Strangeress Sea- because Greek
had entered its waters and lived Coehis a land Of
dragons and dark mystery. We call N in part me Cau-
easus sill land OF dark mysery with The BolsaevM
replacing the dragons.
The land Of Colchls and It's vlcinage cling ohssnaiey
10 their treasures. Jason and his followers had to per
form prodlgous feats before success rewarded them.
SO, the modern argonauts are yet b6nled While Be

WIN OWE Wilson ADMINISTRATIONS rAILEp.

IN HE DOWNFALL Of the Wilson Administration has
been due to variety Of causes none more potent
than his complete failure set along with the legislative
branch Of the Government
Never having served member OF any legislative
body the Wilson mind was unable to meet probl ms
from the point OF view Of the elected by the people
to write their laws
So long mbars Of Congress obediently under
he dictates OF the White House there was no ric-
ton but independence OF thought instant fire from
the Presd Mt, and legislation necessary to the counrys
welfare suffered.
Is there any to anticipate any closer or differ
relations between the executive and legislative
branches with Hoover in the White House9
Regardless OF the fact that practically whole active
life has been spent amid foreign influences II must be
that matters of legislation have never en-
tered into his career at ALL
He has been financial promoter; business executive
his acquaintance with legislative practye and pro.
cedure has been less than that OF the President
With his election The country would experience
agsrayaien OF the present nioerable relations between
