On another occasion we we're touring and
holding one-night stands in the big cities. II
was June and most Of the theaters we're closed.
We were frequently forced to rent halls and
build our own stages. This meant a certain
amount Of discomfort for our stars, but Miss
Russell was always very sporting about it. In
Cleveland we rented hall which had no dress
ing accommodation. All the women fused
around and wondered what they were going to
do. Miss Russell the star Of the company,
rose 10 the occasion.
Il am going TO dress right IN the hail. she
said, "if some one will make tent for me with

Her improvised dressing was soon put
up and all the other women followed her ex-
ample. This is one Of many instances which
show how different she was from stars who
would have refused 10 play under just such
provocation.

QUESTION that Is often asked me by
~ pupils is how 70 acquire a good card
~ memory. 1t seems difficult 70 con-
vince some people that memory is not
a faculty Of the mind but IS simply a state
or condition Of consciousness. What we call
memory, and what all card players covet.
is recollection, and recollection, as the word
implies, is the ability TO recall past impres-
sions. This depends entirely upon the strength
Of the impressions.
II you cannot "recollect" how many trumps
have been played, it must be because you did
not count them. If you cannot remember"
whether the eight is the best club or not, It
must be because you did not pay sufficiently
close attention to the clubs that have been
played. II is all a matter Of observation, not
memory.

Il was no empty title in her case, but a term
of affection do not know Of any individual
in the United States who can take her place.
It Is not surprising that her death has brought
forth the reminiscence and comment accorded
the truly great. She was a beauty with brains
and talent celebrity without vanity; an
artist without the moodiness that frequently
passes for temperament. It is my personal
opinion that in her we have lost the dearest
thing that was ever in the SHOW business.

For six years past I have suffer-

JEWISH FOLK
PLAN FESTIVAL
Jewish Feast of TabernacleS,
SucCoth, to be Observed
Here Tonight

Tonight at shutdown commences
the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles or
Succoth, an ancient harvest festival
the main feature of whose observ-
ance is the dwelling in booths or
tabernacles. The succah or booth IS
a roofless structure covered with
boughs or grasses for shade but not
So thickly matched as to prevent thc
heavens from shining through. 1t
is reminiscent of the huts in which
the Israelites dwelt during their
wanderings in the wilderness and IS
symbolic of the divine protection
that they experienced. The ancient
custom in Palestine was literally 10
dwell in the succah for the eight days
of this harvest festival, but in colder
climates the custom has been modl-
fed so that it is considered suffi-
cient to eat in the succah. The diff
ficulties met with in erecting private
succahs for each family has led to
the practice of building congrega-
ticnal succath in which the mem
bers of the congregation and others
who attend the religious services as
semble and partake of refreshments
after the synagogue services.
Congregation Beth Mordecai has
erected such a succah which has
been decorated with the aid of the
sisterhood of the congregation and
tie Solomon Schechter Society. Serv-
ices tonight will commence at S
o'clock, tomorrow night at 7:45 and
Saturday and Sunday mornings at
$50. The ladies of the sisterhood
will be the hostesses at the gather
ings in the Succah.
Plans are being made for the utili-
of the Succah for social meet
ings and entertainments by various
Jewish societies. Among those plan
ming meetings in the Succah are the
Beth Mordecai Sisterhood which will
meet Tuesday afternoon, and the
Solomon ~Schechter Society which
will! meet Monday night. The latter
society is also arranging, through its
committee on junior activities for
Succah gatherings of the Young Ju-
d&eans. the Jewish Boy Scouts and
Camp Fire Girls, the Y. NJ. H. A.
Juniors, and other juvenile societies.
Thursday will be Children's Day
in the Succah for the children of
the congregation. The children will
assemble at $3.50 in the afternoon
and will lenjoy a treat that Is being
prepared for them. At the same
time, such as are of school age will
be registered for attendance at the
religious school of the congregation
will begin its new term at the
conclusion of the holidays.

STATE NEWS

TRENTON, Oct. 6.-Following in
the footsteps of farmers who have
adopted state inspection and certi-
fication of standard grades on crops
shipped into markets, proprietors
of several large poultry plants have
applied to the State Department Of
Agriculture for a similar guarantee
on day-old chicks. The day-o!d
chick industry in this state has de-
veloped in enormous proportions
and like all other successful enter
prises, is said to have some imita-
tors less scrupulous than those who
have built up the business.
Proprietors of custom-hatching
plants say hat if their business is
to continue to flourish, the public
must be protected against fakirs
who advertise and sell as pure bred
stock, chicks of mongrel parentase.
They have suggested that the stale
department issue for the safeguard
ing of buyers, a certified list of Gus
tom Matching plants. 1t would be
optional with the poultrymen to ask
fer inspection of his breeding fiocks
a means of obtaining recognition
on this certified list.

DAYLIGHT SAVING STRONGLY
OPPOSED.

With the railroads lining up against
isolated daylight saving in Massachu-
sets, the opponents Of the measure
now before the legislature at Boston
ought to find themselves considerably
strengthened. Heretofore, the agricul-
tural interests have been opposing day
light saving all alone, or practically so.
Now a good many people and a good
many interests, although believing in
the daylight saving system when
adopted generally, are opposed to any
single state going under that system
and disrupting the relations between
states TO considerable extent; and
they are adding their influence to those
of the farmers, who have been OPP
posed to the measure almost as a
whole because of its effect on their
interests. Vermont and several 9TH
er states, which are quite closely al
lied with Massachusetts, because of be-
ing tied up with that state through
railroad connection, are keenly inter
ested in the progress Of the bills now
before the Massachusetts, Legislature.
