DO NOT THINK BALLOON
VENT OUT TO SEA
Wind Prevailing at Time Five Men
Left Pensacola Would Have
Driven Them South
ward

Pensacola. Fla. March 26-On the
theory advanced by Lieut. W. F. Reed,
instructor in meteorology at the naval
station here, that the naval balloon,
missing since il left here Tusedsy eve
ming with five men aboard, could not
have drifted to sea in the face of south
erly winds prevailing where il was last
reported, a naval dirigible with two
days' supplies and a double crew aboard
left here to-day to search the forests Of
West Florida.
Meantime seaplanes and naval YES
sells continued their search of the coast
and in some instances ventured far to
sea in an effort to find a trace of the
balloon or its occupants.
Lieut.. Reed believes that the crew
of the drifting bag would have cut
away the basket TO prevent IL drop
ping into the gulf and would have TAX
en- refuge in the rigging
If the basket has been cut away,
Lieut.. Reed said, the bag would have
risen and he believes that the prevail
ing winds would have blown it inland.

Boston, March 26.-Lying on cot in
the City hospital, with death expected
momentarily, as the result of bullet
wound, John f. Mccarthy was married
late last night to Miss Eva Maude
Corthell, 10 years of age. The doctor re-
ported his condition as slightly i'm
proved to-day although with little hope
of his recovery.
Mccarthy was shot during an affray
in a South End saloon in which his
companion, John B. (Larry) Mclean, a
former major league baseball catcher.
was killed last Thursday
When Mccarthy realized that there
was virtually no chance of living, he
urged that the marriage to Miss Corth-
ell take place at once. They had been
engaged for several months and filed
marriage intentions on Jan. 81. On the
arrival of priest to perform the cere-
mony it was discovered that in the
haste to arrange the wedding the ring
had been forgotten. One of the nurses
volunteered the use of her finger circlet.

is complete forgiveness possible by repen-
tance during these penitential days, as the
ten days are called There is an i'm
mediate relation between God and man,
and right here on earth is given the OPP
portunity to purge ones life through only
whole souled and sincere repentance
directly before God. Significantly, the
color for worship on this New Year day
and also on the day of atonement is white
No matter how much a man may sin, he
is not a criminal in the sight of God. He
does not appear on this yearly day Of
judgment in black, the color of the mis-
creant, but in white, all prepared for the
divine forgiveness which will be his.
Emphazing the judgment character of
this New Year day is the zodiacal sign
for the month of Tishri, of which the New
Year day is the head. This sign is a
balance, emblematic of the weighing of
the. souls of men. And through that ancient
legends of the rabbis of the three books,
there has come into and remained until
today in the Jewish custom, the New Year
greeting for that particular day, "L'shono
Tovoh Tikkosev," which means, "May
you be inscribed for good year."
The holiday season passes through the
intervening Shabbes Shubah, or Sabbath
of Repentance, and eliminates in the day
of atonement, the Sabbath of Sabbaths, the
outstanding Holy day of the entire Jewish
religious calendar. Rabbi Edavard L.

their last and winning score on single
and double.
Nell did the artillery work for the locals
and at times he was little wild but
nevertheless he is to be credited with
winning his own game, for he smashed
out the two-bagger that brought in the
winning score. The first three frames he
-held the visitors scoreless, but with the
opening of the fourth he passed one on
balls, allowed three singles in succession,
that was followed up with triple, re-
cording four well earned runs, which tied
up the game for the time being. Then
with the opening of the fifth the visitors
took the lead one point when they con-
nected for three singles that gave them
another earned run. However, the locals
knotted up the score again in their half
Of the inning and the visitors were unable
to break the knot in the opening of the
sixth for Nell very promptly handed them
goose egg. And in order to make short
work of the contest, Nell brought in the
bacon with a two-bagger that ended all
the fun

JEWISH NEW YEAR

In the distant ages, before any nation
Of our western world of today was born,
little people, escaping from the bondage
OF great oriental power, found its way
from the desert into the land that lay on
the other side of the Jordan. This little
people, little in size but great in spirit,
had been born in prehistoric times among
the arid sand wastes of Arabia. For CEN
turies it had lived the life of nomad.
with nomad ideals and nomad habits. Only
one feature differentiated it from its kind
red neighbors, queer and uncompromis-
ing willingness to live and die for the
ideal of one God. This little people was
the Israelitish nation.
Across the Jordan they came, out from
the desert into land, not over fruitful,
yet so fertile as compared with that sandy
waste which had been their home, that
the Israelites have ever called new land in
their sacred literature, land Glowing
with milk and honey"
Centuries went on, and the people which
had once been a desert folk became
thoroughly agricultural. Desert religious
rites took on an agricultural spect. Even
as the pagan Teuton of the Central Euro
pean forests adapted his primitive cult to
newer religion, so did the Hebrew of old
modify his desert rites to those befttine
bis new life. Under this agricultural
environment developed most of the basic
features of Jewish life today.
The Jewish religious New Year comes
at the beginning of the tenth month of
tie lunar calendar. For, in common with
other agricultural peoples of those times,
it was according to the moon and not ac-
ccrding to the sun that time and season
was regulated. This is the reason that the
Jewish holiday occurs on different days
according to our solar calendar. Easter
is the only Christian lunar holiday, Four
separate and distinct new year celebra-
tions were held by the ancient Tsraelites;
a new year for crops, coming just at the
time of sowing in the fall, new year for
