SHAPIRO GIVES
 JEWS MESSAGE

In every Jewish home tonight, the Haggadah is being chanted-the old, old story of the deliverance of Israel of the AImighty's goodness to his chosen.
 It is a wondrous tale of faith and love of which the Jew never tires. To- night Israel goes back to the past, with the Charoseth. the roasted shank bone, the bitter herbs. the matzoth, and the Seder to remind him of the glory that once was his-and of the Inyriads who gave their lives that the faith of Israel might survive.
 But only yesterday it was different. The things of the flesh were placed before those of the spirit. The Jew was torn between conflicting thoughts and doubts, and in his busy life for got the faith of his fathers-was g stranger to the house Of God.
 Tonight is Passover. We are com memmorating the Salvation of Israel thousands of years ago. Let this mark the beginning of a spiritual re- birth of American Judaism-of a re- turn to the Synagogue. Jews of America, renew your faith! Strengthen your convictions in the religion of your fathers. CHARLES H. SHAPIRO, National Chairman Back to the Syn agogue Movement of the Union o1 Orthodox Jewish Congregations o1 America

FLOWERS IN
 BIG DEMAND

Flowers in profusion and variety are provided by local florists for the Eatser display and the sales are greater than ever before.
 Lilies, hyacinths, spirea, tulips and daffodils are the most popular al though ferns of various kinds and combination baskets are favored by many of the purchasers.
 The prices range about the same as they were last year with the excep- ton of Easter lilies which are consid- erably higher.
 The lilies are selling at 50 cents a bud and the supply is hardly equal to the demand.

RAISE RATES
 ON INSURANCE

New York, April 2-Increases of 25 per cent. in the rates for burglar in- surance in New York city and 35 per cent. in nearby territories were put into effect today by indemnity and surety companies here, following a secret meeting of underwriters last night. Various officials admitted that the increase in robberies here and elsewhere since the first of the year was the principal reason for the ac- tion. Loss of money in 1919 under the old rates was another reason ad- vanced for the increase.
 Officials predicated that further in
 creases might be expected unless the number of claims was lessened. Some companies reported they had been operating at a loss

POTATOES NOT A NECESSITY.

Why pay such high price as is demanded for
potatoes! Doing without them would result III
no hurt, and their value as food is negligible.
The potato is rs per cent water. Water is one
of the few commodities that remains cheap. In
a potato skin it costs many cents a pound
Rather high priced water! Eighteen per cent,
of the potato is starch. Some persons need
starch in their diet Many should avoid it.
Whether one needs potatoes for the starch
they contain depends upon one s physical con-
oition and powers of assimilation. The potato

When potatoes are so cheap that they are
hardly worth hauling to market it does not pay
to feed them to hogs. There is not enough pro-
ten ash or fat in them. When they are as high
Is they now are, does it pay to eat thema Very
probably it does not. The potato is at present
selling at prices wholly out of proportion to
it's food value.
Sol Westerfeld, president of the Chicago Re
tail Grocers' association, gives this good advice:
g Consumers should buy substitutes which are
equally, and in some cases even more nourlsh-
ing Rice is an excellent substitute, while navy
and lima beans are infinitely cheaper and con-
tain more strength units. Yellow and white
turnips are also good substitutes.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If You want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared stampoos
contain too much alkai. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsihed cocoanut oil sham
poo (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than anything else
you can use for sharpooing. as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance cf rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinscs out easily,
and removes every particle Of dns', dirt,
dandrufT and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
6ne and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsi6ed cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. It is
very cheap, and few ounces is enough

members Of his party who pay witt
him the price of his carelessness. Is
it not the duty OF the state to see
to 1t that we are protected against
our own shortcomings insofar as
may be?
A great handicap to efficient work
in grade crossing elimination is at
present the lack Of adequate legal
power to compel railroad and local
authorities to meet their proper
share of the expense involved. It is
TO be hoped that the Legislature AT
its earliest opportunity will frame q
statute similar to those in effect in
several other states, giving to some
one state commission the power to
rule authoritatively on this question.

aglnent there is evident better mutual under
standing between shippers and railroad man
agement. The shippers want service most Of
all; they want it at low rates as they can get,
but service they must have. Railroad manage
ment, recognizing that the people have a new
appreciation of the problems to be solved in

showing the utmost willingness to give all the

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
BARBARA FRIETcHlE.


Up from the meadows rich with corn
Clear in the cool September MORN
The clustered spires of Frederick stand
Green-walled by the hills of Maryland
Round about them orchards sweep
Apple and peach tree fruited deep.
Fair as garden of the Lord
To the eyes OF the farnished rebel horde,
On that pleasant morn OF the early fall
When Lee marched over the mountain wall
Over the mountains winding down,
Horse and foot into Frederick town.
Forty flags with their silver stars
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
F1apped in the morning wind: the sun
OF noon looked down, and saw not one.
Up rose old Barbara Fr4etchie then,
Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;
Brsyest Of ali in Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;
In her attic window the staff she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet
Up the street came the rebel tread,
Stonewan JacEson riding ahead.
& Under ms SiOuCned nat ieft ana rgnt
He glanced; the old flag met his sight.
'Halt.s--the dust brown ranks stood fast;
AF'ire.'--out blazed the rifle blast
1t shivered the window, pane and sash:

Quick, az it fell. from the broken STAFF
Dame Barbara snatched the silken scarf
staf loan cd far mt no yipfn rail
And shook 1t forth with 4 royal will
Shoot, If you must, this old gray head
But spare your country's flag" she said
shade of sadness, a blush of shame,
Over the face of the leader came;
The nobler nature within him stirred
To life at that woman's deed and word;
"Who touches hair of yon gray head
Dies like a dog March on" he said.
All day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread of marching feet;
All day long that free flag tost
over the heads of the rebel host.
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
On the loyal winds that loved it well;
And through the fill-yaps sunset light
Shone over it with warm goodnight
Barbara Frietchies work is DER.
And the. rebel rides on his raids no more.
Honor to her, and let tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewall's bier.
Over Barbara Frietchie's grave,
Flag Of Freedom and Union, wave
Peace and order and beauty draw

And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below in Frederick town.
