cause when November, 1918, began,
the new epoch in the history Of afro
cities against the Jewish people be-
gan. Beginning with the Lemberg
massacres in November, 1918, and
continuing in the year 1919 down to
the present day, the Jewish people Of
Eastern Europe have been suffering
from mascacres and persecution and
barbarity and insult such as no other
people has suffered, such as the Jew
ish people has never seen. And what
is their actual situation today? The
Peace Conference has done its share.
We who were in Paris working in all
the Minority groups have secured
from the Peace Conference full and
equal rights for all the individuals in
each Of these countries, Jew and nom
Jew. The paper constitutions have
been written, but the hearts Of men
have not yet been changed. And
until through education and religion
and ethics and wider social conscious
ness the majority Of the people in
these countries will come to see Gods
light in all its fullness, the lot Of the
Jew will in fact be q sad and dismal
one.
They wake up in the morning, see
ing nothing but black clouds lowering
over them. They know not whether
death or insult, or infamy will be
their share before the sun will have
set that day. Practically almost hope
less they are, and yet there Is o silver
lining even to their clouds that hover
over them. One ray Of light breaks
through, one ray Of light carrying
hope can be seen by them, the light
that shines from Zion, Palestine, the
Balfour Declaration, the opportunity
Of the restoration. The glorious Wis
ion that they had expected in centur-
les to come, now, now before our very
eyes, has changed into reality. For
many Of them only a hope, because
Palestine at the beginning cannot pos
sibly accept the million ready the day
after the mandate is issued to march
to Palestine and become the pioneers
in that land, and yet hope, q spirit
ual hope that makes them carry on,
because the Jews in Eastern Europe,
like every Jew, like every decent man,
is willing to live on, to suffer on, to
start on II he can but see future for
his children. For many Of the living
generation the hope for their going
to Palestine sooner or later Is, that
II the conditions in Eastern Europe
do not change their children at least
will live, will live again in the land
Of their fathers.
And what is there today, in view Of
this situation, what behooves US, the
American Jews, the most prosperous
on the face Of the earth, in view Of
these conditions? Give to them in
their own land, keep them, house
them, clothe them, aye, in goodly
measure. We must contribute to the
war relief fund, we must keep them
alive, but the Jew does not live by
bread alone. We must keep alive
their spirit. We must keep alive
their hope. We can do II in only one
way, by building up Palestine, by
building up rapidly, as rapidly as men,
money and energy will enable US to
do, so that their hope may grow
brighter for them. so that they may
realize from year to year that they
may live In decency In the land Of

occur regularly at twenty-elght-year
intervals until 2O8s, after which the
century years 2100 again extends the
interval to forty years. The year
1000 is leap year.
1t is an interesting fact that when
February has five Sundays more legal
holidays fall upon Sunday than in
any other year. Some holidays, such
as Thanksgiving Day and Labor Day,
cannot fall on Sunday. Those which
can are New Years Day, Memorial
Day, independence Day, Columbus
Day, and Christmas. Three of these
Washinton's Birthday, Memorial Day
and independence Day, fall upon
Sunday this year. There is no week
day holiday from Lincoln's Birthday
until Labor Day. This is sad news
for those who desire such days. AS
it has not happened so for forty
years and will not not for twenty
eight more, this years shortcomings
had best be overlooked. There are
no other years with three Sunday
HOLIDAYS. but there are several cases
in which no holidays fall upon Sun
day. This happens when an ordinary
year begins on either Monday OF
Tuesday and in leap years which be-
gin on Monday, Wednesday or Satur-
day.
From what has been written, it can

book we could use them in order, be-
ginning again at the beginning when
the end was reached. AS it requires
800 years to include all of the re-
cri3ements of the leap-year rule, to
have calendars in order for all time
Under the present rules we would eX-
pect to require seven times 400, or
$500 pages, one for each calendar.
1t happens, however, that 400 years
consists of exactly 2O,S71 weeks, and
hence each interval of 400 years be-
gins Oh the same weekday. Hence the
calendars repeat themselves in just
the same order after 400 years, no
matter how long we use them.
Rather simple rules can be given
for determining upon what day of the
week the year begins and whether it
is a common or a leap year. Such
rules, together with some mechanical
device for shifting the days of the
week on a calendar with respect to
the days of the month to correspond
with the year, constitute what some
call a perpetual calendar. A number
of such devices have been made, but
they have not had great popularity.
For the first time for several
months we shall now have some of
the brighter planets as evening stars.
Jupiter is an evening star after Feb
ruary 2 and Saturn after February
27. Those Who desire to see the
faint illumination of the sky called
the zodiacal light should look for it
at this time of the year, when it is in
it's best position for observation in
the early evening here. A new NOV
:ng object was discovered on January
13. The object is probably comet,
although it's appearance is practically
the same as that of a star. The OBJ
ject is of the tenth magnitude and
situated in the constellation Gemini.
Two new temporary stars were also
discovered last month, both faint.
