Branches of Jewish Activity.

Splendid service is being rendered
the Hebrews of Washington by my
good friend. Rabbi J. T. LOEB, for
merly pastor OF the Adath Israel
Temple, Sixth and I streets north
west. He is a man of action and
prayer and rarely fails to get re-
'sults. Among his varied activities
are a free school at 461 F street
southwest, and the Hebrew Insti-
tute, to be made a community home
for young and old. There also IS a
night school for adults. and special
courses in Hebrew. ritual, Bible
study and Yiddish letter writing,
and all are free Of charge.
The opening OF a library will
soon be announced, Rabbi Loeb says.
1t will be a branch Of the Public
Library, and will have books I'm
English and Yiddish- Then there
are five Young Judaean Clubs; a
Jewish Scout Troop, and several
fraternal and social organizations.
In inviting young men and women
in Israel TO attend the Junior con-
gregation service every Friday eve
ming and Saturday morning, Rabbi
Loeb says:
do not neglect your duty to wor-
ship God, which should be with all
OF US a part OF the business of life.
Do not claim to be wiser than your
forebears. Let not the world have
the impression that you are all a
lot of infidels, renegades and moral
Bolsheviki. Give to Caesar what is
his, and to God the regular Sabbath
hour for your religious and moral
upliftment."

New Year doesn't get to Russia
until January Is, which gives Emma
Goldman plenty of time to manu-
facture a resolution to stay there.
But here's betting she doesn't!
At one time folks got New Year
| Day all mixed up. The Persians
began the year September q; the
Greek hung up a new calendar De-
cember q for a few centuries, and
then decided the year started June
q: England used to celebrate New
Year Day December %. and then left
that day to Santa Claus, picking
March % for their New Year.
The practice of making New Year
resolutions began with the Romans,
who. goodness knows. had sufficient
reasons for turning over new leaves.
Have you noticed how difficult 1t Is
to keep a new leaf turned over?
Well, it won't be quite so difficult in
1920 if you stay south of the Canadian
border and north OF the Rio Grande
and outside the stocked cellar
This is a bit of New York cele-
brating as the Scotch poet did 1t:
Twal struck-two neebor hizzle raise
And lifting gaed a sad gate;
The flower of the well to our house
gaes.
And I'll bonniest lad get.
The custom of sitting up December
81 to see the New Year come in had
its origin in Europe, but it was early
adopted by those Americans whose
capacity enabled them to stick It out
that long.
The Chinese have a peculiar New
Year custom of settling all their old
year debts. This is tough on the
pocketbook, but makes 1t easier to Dor
row money afterward.
Also the Chinese have a habit Of
shifting their New Year Day around
anywhere from January q to Feb
ruary 10, reckoning time from the first
moon after the sun enters Aquarius.
The holiday lasts three days. but usu-
ally it's a week or two before John
Chinaman goes back to work.
Bancroft Bailey, of South Newbury,
Vt, died at the age of 10l. He never
spent penny on tobacco or liquor,
never was inside of a theater, and
never spent an evening away from his
family.
A life like that must nave seemed
much longer than 101 years.
A Chicago man is laying claim to
being the worlds leading collector
of darning needles. And he doesn't
do any darning, either.

in tennis he got into the semi-hnals.
What is more important, he seems
to be doing very well with his

boys. and is evidently beginning to
like the school. He has shown him
self very manly. Kermit is home

Quentin and the Pig.
White House, Dot. II, 1908.
Dearest Kermit:


Quentin performed a Characters
tic feat yesterday. He heard that
Schmid, the animal man, wanted a
small pig, and decided that he would
turn an honest penny by supplying
the want. So out in the neighbor-
hood of his school he called on an
elderly darby who. he had seen,
possessed little pigs; bought one;
popped IL into a bag; astutely dodg-
ed the school-having a well-found-
ed distrust of how the boys would
feel toward his passage with the
pig-and took the car for home. BY
that time the pig had freed itself
from the bag, and, as he explained,
he journeyed in with a small
squealish pig" under his arm; but
as the conductor was a friend of
his he was not put off. He bought
1t for a dollar and sold it to
Schmid for a dollar and a quarter,
and feels as If he had found a per-
manent line of business. Sshmid
then festooned it in red ribbons and
sent it to parade the streets. I
gather that Quentin led it around
for part of the parade. but he was
somewhat vague on this point, evil

our approval of the move.

Quentin is really too funny for
anything. He got his legs fearfully
sunburned the other day. and they
blistered, became infismed, and ever

on him. Eyeing his blistered and
scarlet legs, he remarked. They look
like a Turner sunset. don't they?"

Dearest Archie:
handed your note and the two
dollar bill to Quentin, and he was
perfectly delighted. 1t came in very
handy. because poor Quentin has
been in bed with his leg in a plas-
ter cast. and the two dollars think
went to make UP a fund with which
he purchased a fascinating little
steam engine, which has beep q
great source OF amusement to him.
He is out today visiting, some friends

sentimental ties binding him TO Mn
