PASSOVER FESTIVAL
 WILL BEGIN FRIDAY

The eFstival of Passover, or Pesach' will begin next Friday at sundown and will last eight days. Passover is one or the most important festivals on the Jew ish calendar While it has some agri- cultural aspects, it derives it's chief sig- nificance from momentous historicai event, namely, the exodus of the Israel ites from Egypt and their freedom from physical and spiritual bondage
 So important is the departure from Egypt in Jewish history that the Jews were commanded to remember this event all the days of their lives However, the exodus was only means to an end, a stepping stone to something still greater and far-reaching in it's consequences For shortly thereafter the Ten Command- rnents. followed by many other precepts of the Pentateach, were given the Israelites. Had it not been for those laws of religion and morality, of justice and mercy, the Israelites of those days would have fallen prey to their own passions.
 At the Knesseth Israel synagogue, Sev- enth avenue and Seventeenth street, north, appropriate services will be held Friday and Saturday evenings at o'clock, and Saturday and Sunday morn ings at 8 o'clock Rabbi Jacob l. MeH- delsohn will preach during the morning services on both days.

A|REDALE RESCUES
 CHICKS FROM STORM

Tales of canine intelligence have been told since man first domesti- cated some wild nnd ferocious Ift- tie wolf cub, and that dog has brains and ability to use them has been demonstrated through the ages while that same little wild animal was developing into the modern Airedale.
 W. l.. woodruff, 1911 Huntsville avenue, tells the story of how his pet AiredaIe performed the good Samaritan net towards several haIf-drowned, dejected little chicks yesterday morning.
 MT. woodruff, who is secretary of the Birmingham Athletic club, raises chickens ms pastime. Yes- terday morning's storm wrecked his chicken house, casting some 70 odd little chicks on the mercies of the storm.
 When Mir. woodruff was able to venture out to examine the wreck age and to rescue what chicks were left, he met his pet dog coming from underneath the wreckage with q chick in her lnOuth. AhlnkhnB tuAt nAA uOB mau turned traitor and was preyfng on the chickens, Woodruff seized a stick and advanced to mete out punishment upon .his pet. Anne. as the AirednIe Is called, jumped n six-foot fence and escaped down Huntsville avenue, returning home late yesterday afternoon.
 Mar. woodruff took count of the casualties, and found thnt several of the chicks, either dead or alive, were missing. After . lengthy search. he looked inside Anness dog house, and there, safe and sound, were the missing chicks, as dry md chipper as If nothing had occurred. It then dawned on their owner how 1t all happened. The AfredaIe had been in the act Of rescuing the chicks when dis- covered by her master.
 Examination disclosed the fact that there were no marks of vio- lence on any of the chicks in the house or upon the one being car- ried from the wreckage by Anne when MT. Woodruff arrived on the scene.

DISCUSS CRAWFORD
 FOR PRESIDENCY OF ]. STEEL CORPORATION
Harding Said to Want Farrell to Handle Affairs of Ship ping Board-T. c. l. Ex-
 ecutive Next In Line

The name of George Gordon Craw- ford, president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, is asso- ciated with the presidency of the United States Steel Corporation.
 This is based on the possibility that James H. Farrell, now president of the Steel corporation, will aecede to the re- quest of President Harding to accept the chairmanship of the United States ship ping board.
 This position was extended Mir. Farrell some time ago. He has not indicated whether he will accept it or not. MT Farrell makes a much larger salary as president of the Steel corporation than he would receive as head of the ship ping board, but it is deemed possible that he will accept that position for the same reason that Herbert Hoover ac- cepted the portfolio of Secretary of Com merce.
 Before coming to Birmingham in 1908 MT. Crawford had made good as presi- dent of the National Tube company, an
 important Steel corporation auxiliary. The remarkable record he has made in Alabama has further proven his ability, both as manufacturer and as success full director of big affairs. It is not be- lieved that any head of an auxiliary Of the Steel corporation stands higher with the directorate than MT Crawford. Steel and iron circles the country over con cede his fitness for the position In the circumstances more than usual interest attaches to the forthcoming de- cision of MT. Farrell to remain with the corporation or accept the post with the government.

BEAN BEETLE FIGHT IS STARTING AGAIN Pest Makes Its Appearance at East Lake-Experts
 Are Busy

The bean beetle that destroyed the Jefferson county bean crop last year has already appeared in the adult form at East Lake.
 Extreme effort is being made to stop its ravages this year. Out at the county farm experiments in poison methods are being made regularly.
 Dr. F. l.. Thomas of Auburn, entomol- ogst, and r. O. Hooten, market spe- cialist, are giving time and pains to the solution of the problem.
 Pending more exact knowledge as to best manner of fighting the pest, it is recommended that the vines be sprayed with arsenate of lead or zinc arsenate the mixture being one pound of the pcinson to 50 gallons of water The ad- vice given by the experts is to first ap- ply this mixture to singe row of beans If the beetles are killed without injury to the plant. then the entire patch may be sprayed.
 The adult beetles are now laying their eggs, and it requires 25 days from the eeg-laying for the fulI-grown beetle tc develop.
 The experts will be on the ground continuously and do their best to save the coming bean crop if it is possible
