THE GROWTH OF HANUKKAH

1t is no exaggeration to say that
with every year Hanukkah is becom-
ing increasingly important in Jewish
life. The wide prevalence Of the
Hanukkah entertainments by organi-
cations old and young is merely a
sign of the times, perhaps working
of the claw of supply and demand:
create the demand for Hanukkah cell
ebrations and you will get an ade-i
quate supply Of entertainments. At
any rate, one hears much more of
Hanukkah in "the Jewish Street"
than generation ago.
How account for the growing popu-
larity of this festival Of the Macca-
bees? One we'll known rabbi-editor
in Chicago has claimed that it was
due to the increasing celebration of.
Christmas. The Jew is so impressed.
by the universal yule-tide spirit that
in envy or self-defense he seizes upon
Hanukkah as means of showing that
he also has a holiday at this time of
the year. We disagree heartily with.
this theory, however plausible.
We feel, rather that the growing
Importance of Hanukkah is to be
found in the deepened Jewish feeling,
and in the growth of the Jewish pop
ulation of America. No doubt Zion
ism is largely responsible. With it's
insistence on self-assertion, and it's
harping on the need for Jewish self.
respect, what more natural than to-
emphasize the Importance Of the Mac.

ism, Hanukkah is most popular.
Jewish festival.
Nor can one minimize the import
ance of numbers as a factor in festi-
val observance. Where once one box
of candles was sold there are now
scores. Memorials, useful or ornate,
are adjoining many modern home,
and one need no longer apologize for
Hanukkah celebrations.
But whatever the cause no one will
deny that the result is very much as

GAME WARDEN COMPLAINS
 ABOUT KILLING FISH

County Fish and Game Warden Rob ert B. Chapper has interested himsof in the killing of Alsh througl, an experl- mental work which has been done by the United States navy, narticularly in that section of the Sound known as the Race.
 Mr. Chappell sent l letter of protest to the United States department of ag- riculture, under whose Jurisdiction such matters come, and he has received word that the letter has been referred to the war department that the matter be given attention.
 Enclosed herewith please find clip pings from the New London Bay, issue of Sept. 8. My object in calling your attention to this matter is to see if it cannot be taken up with tie war part ment with the idea Of having U csc ex- periments with depth Dor1bs carried on in some locality other than in the Race , There is plenty of room on the south side of Long Island in the Atlantic ocean 1 where fishing is not done. It seemS g shame that such a vast quantity of foot 1 fish should be destroyed by mere experi- mental work.

Explains Practical Assessment System

 There is no more serious task than as- sessing the citizen property for it bears on every citizen and affects the well fare of aIl But the three essentials are the tax map, the land value map and proper clerical help.
 In response to a question from c. D. Moves, Dr. Purdy said it was a mistake to attempt any readjustment of assess ments by taking a section of a city at a time but all should be done at once and he was against having it done by outside help. He believed in assessing to full market value. H. H. Gallup all so said he believed in full market value assessment and Dr. Purdy said this would bring the tax rate down. Dr. W. Tyler Browne inquired about the air plane map to which Dr. Purdy respond ed that this was useful to show the physf- cal characteristics but needed to be SUD- plemented by the surveyors may to show measurements. This latter point was brought out by a question from C. V. James. MT. Moves inquired as to the taxation of machinery in industries of which Norwich had many. Dr. Purdy answered that machinery in use was worth to the owner it's full replacement value and more, but separate from the mill or idle it is worth very littIe He would value the machinery as far as the law would allow.
 A number of the citizens present thank 41,. 4l,z instructive talk that he had given on , the subject of methods of assessment. Dr. Purdy came here during the aft | ernoon and was shown around the city l by Secretary J. J. O'Rourke of the l Chamber of Commerce.

LIES COURSE.

The setting sun passes over the
western rim and its last beams fall
upon an old man who watches from
his hospital window for the ending
of his own day.
How like the course of the sun is
the span of mans life!
1t dawns with pink flush of hope
which quickly fades. 1t tolls through
the long middle stretch, bringing
warmth and providing for those
whom it protects.
Then scarcely before we realize it,
the zenith is passed and the rapid
descent into the clouded west is
started.
Clouds are as the accomplishments
of man on his journey. They ref1ec'
the glory of the suns rays.
In glorious tints of gold and
mauve and saffron they hold the
magic Of a thing departed, they pres
age the rising of the sun in another
land after its setting here, the COM
ing of another life after the passing
of this one.
