 'Yes, you will" scoffed the other man, grabed in the latest style, who was walking with him. Whats the matter with the procession going by pretty nifty, eh?"

A MUDDLED SITUATION.

Surrounded as it is by territory that is for the greater part observing daylight saving by pushing the clock ahead, Con- necticut has been thrown into a nice muddle by the action of it's legislature in trying to hold the entire state to the observance of standard time. But for this piece of unjustified legislation Con- necticut would have been doing the same as it did last year, when each commu- nifty decided for itself, and there would have been uniform community action even though the state as a unit took no action in the matter.
 With the idea of serving the majority of the people the rSiroad lines have so changed their schedules as to conform to daylight saving time. They continue to operate on standard time but run their trains an hour ahead of the old schedules. so that train that used to go at a certain hour goes one hour ear fer. Because every city is more or less affected by the transportation lines there are those who are starting their day m hour earlier and closing it an hour earlier. There are also those who have pushed their clocks ahead and others who are not only sticking to standard time but sticking to their old hours.
 Many of the cities have taken action as a unit and are keeping pace with the railroads by starting the day an hour earlier. It accomplishes the saving oi daylight as effectively as changing the ,locl1s. though the changing of the clocks would overcome the confusion that is bound to accompany the attempting tC ,arry out fixed tasks on new hours Where there is a lack of uniformity ant an observance of all sorts of time thert Is need of attempting some action tha will lead to the doing of one thing o another unless 1t is expected that thu confusion will continue throughout tn. summer
 The situation plainly shows the troubl that is bound to result from such sug gestions as those which were frequent, heard to the effect that each one shoul So as he pleases. The starting of tn iay an hour earlier, the setting the cloc ihead where attempted, shows it is de tired and can be done but they are de lied the facilities for getting to worl md on these much dependence is placed The experience of communities where n definite action is taken and where thre different methods are in vogue calls ou plainly for uniformity. and in that re Fpect action that will be in keeDirg wit tho states surrounding us and the rail roads.
 It is a muddled situation that can an should be strengthened out community wise at least.

HEBREW NEW YEAR
 WILL BE OBSERVED SUNDAY, MONDAY

Beginning Sunday evening, Oct. 2. and continuing until sunset Monday evening, Jews the world over will observe their New Year Among the orthodox Jews second day will be observed, on Tuesday, Oct. 4.
 New Year services will be ob- served in Phoenix by the Jewish community next Sunday evening at the Woman's clrb. starting at 6:30 o'clock. Dr. Liknaitz, the rabbi, will speak on the subject. and the aim and purpose of the New Year. The Temple chorus. under the direction of Mrs. Bessie Fox Davis, will rem der the musical part of the service.
 The vast majority of Jews regard the New Year as one of the two most significant holy days in the Jewish calendar, ranking with the Day ot Atonement, which occurs 10 days later, as the most solemn in the synagog.
 Unlike the secular New Year, Rosh Hashanah, the Hebrew name by which this holy day is known among the Jews, is an occasion of spiritual stimulation and direction. Its Bib- lical basis is found in Leviticus 23: 24. where is said .In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial proclaimed with the blast of horns, a holy convocation."
 From this Mosaic injunction, there has been evolved the ceremony of the blowing of the Shofar, or rams horn which is merely a symbol or remind the worshippers that each person has duties and responsibilities which can not be shirked or delegated to another.
 According to rabbinical legend, New Years day marks the anniver- sary of the creation of the world. According to this tradition, the en- sueing year will be the 56S2nd of the existence of the world. Whether we reject or accept this tradition, there is more valuable legend which re- gards the New Years day as mark ing the anniversary of the creation of man, hence a universal holiday, the birthright of all humanity. The modern celebration of Rosh Hashanah in reform synagogs in- | cludes the sounding of the Shofar | only as symbolism, with the spir- l itual purpose of arousing within the congregants consciousness of theii | obligations of service toward all tC whom they are bound. whether as
 members of one family. or as citi- zens and fellow countrymen. The individuals personal conduct is ths
