Jews to Observe
Feast Of Purim

The mirthful feast Of Purlm
will be celebrated in Jewish cir
cles this year on Monday evening
with a special service in the syn
aGog. While a holiday of a minor
character, its use Of the scroll Of
Esther has endeared the festival
TO the Jewish people who make it
an occasion for popular rejoicing.
The services for this festival
are. wholly concerned with the
reading Of the story of Esther,
which, from time to time. assIm-
cd a more prophetic character
ana fore-visioned, in part the
clleckered career Of the Jews.
Purim has always been the &C.
cosion for mirthful celebrations in
Jewish families and social groups.

Action Resulting in Big
Loss to Industry
Condemned

NEW YORK, March g. Severe
condemnation OF the government
control Of the sugar Industry IS
contained in the annual report OF
Earl D. Babst, president of the
American Refining company, which
was read to stockholders at a
meeting in Jersey City today. Il
The report shows a loss on oper.
atoms OF S2,177,276 during 1921.
Surplus was drawn on for Sc, 81 1857
to meet operating losses and to-
provide for dividends declared. The
operating losses were attributed to-
steadily declining prices. The to-
tai tonnage OF tho country equalled
that OF the year before. and the vol.
ulne Of business amounted to S140..
100000. Balance Of surplus and re.
serves amount to more than S2a..
100000.
"The events of 1921,"the report
declared, "are merely continu.
ance OF those OF 1920, all Incident
